Who's Doing The Demon's Soul Deluxe Edition Guide?

[RivalShadeX]

Anybody know or have any guesses...

I don't know who's doing it, but I think DoubleJump Books should do it because they are always better than BradyGames or Prima, in looks, quality, and skill...

I'm with you on that one.

Double Jump's guides are really no better or worse than Brady or Prima. They have a handful of extremely good guides (Disgaea games, Nocturne), but some of their other guides are pretty bland or full of mistakes and bad information.

That said, I do prefer the manga-size they go with; it fits nicely beside the respective game on my shelf.

The thing that always set Doublejump apart from the other companies, in my mind, was all the cool extra stuff they went out of their way to get, like developer interviews using questions from the readers, posters, bookmarks, etc. You could tell they wanted you to like the game as much as they did, whereas a lot of the other publishers are just "Here's a guide. Go do whatever. Pay me $20."

If im not mistaken the guide is being translated from the japanese guide, so its not going to be your typical game guide. This explains why the guide ISNT being sold seperatly.


There will be no guide publishers besides ATLUS, thier doing all the work here.

I do like the Double Jump's. The only thing that I'd prefer is for the larger size books. I don't care for the manga-sized ones.

^^ This, I believe the official strategy Japanese guide was made by some company related to famitsu.

Will this guide be available separate from the deluxe edition? I reserved my copy at a local game store and they don't do pre-orders on deluxe editions, just the standard editions; basically its first come first served. I'd like the guide in case I can't secure a deluxe edition.

The guide is only available in the Deluxe Edition I believe, but I'm sure you could probably find a copy on eBay after it gets released...

[shoshin]

OK, thanks. Hopefully I can score a deluxe edition.

You could preorder a copy from an online store like Amazon.

I had store credit at my local store. But after giving it some thought I might swap it out for something else and reserve it from Amazon or Gamestop. I want that deluxe edition. :)

Aram stated he would unveil the partner for the strategy guide soon enough. No need to speculate.
