Atlus didn't develop Demon's Souls. It was From Software. Atlus was just one of the publishers. And the souls games have a pretty niche audience. I find the games kinda boring. I was never big in to RPGs though. Plus, the company is going stupid anyway with Dark Souls 2.
From Software? You mean the developers behind the Armored Core series? I didn't know they went outside the AC box to develop an RPG.
LONG EDIT:

That's probably the problem here, i suspect. If the game was a success i think that Capcom and NT would be more optimistic and "open" to give new information after all the ****storm that ruled in the internet by the release of the game; mainly considering that Capcom was optimistic in the beggining and talking about a DMC game comming at least in each 2.5 years. I think that Capcom will just bury the series or come up with something related to the old series (i don't know exactly what they can try, but up to this point, could be really anything, even a new reboot but in the same universe, with the same characters).
I prefer to just wait instead of discussing the DMC future right now given that it's purely speculation anything we can talk right now, i think that if we don't get any information about it at least in 2014, then i think that we can fear a little about the future of the franchise.
And about NT: i think that the guy behind all the **** with DMC fans is Tameem, he seems to be a very arrogant person, i don't like him. But i have nothing agains't NT team itself and i think that here are some creative people there that deserve credit, still they are new to the industry and don't seem to know how to make a good action game properly just yet; but they are developing over time, DmC was a great leap compared to Heavenly Sword gameplay.
A new DMC reboot, you say? It could also be different universe, yet same characters but with minor alterations; however, most of their original characteristics remain intact just to know who's who (Ex. Old DMC Dante's apprearance is as it is, but put DmC Dante's lineage in it; the term for that is CambioNephilim (it's a compound noun I came up derived from two words: Cambione (demon-human hybrid; why wasn't this the official term for half-demons like Dante in DMC?) and Nephilim (originally angel-human hybrid)). I do not think DMC deserves to be buried. So yeah; I'd wait for a new one too, but not TOO LONG. Our own speculations may end up happening or just a dream... We can't predict the future, you know?
Yeah, I got nothing on Ninja Theory as a whole too. It's Tameem Antonaides who gave himself and his company a bad reputation. No reason to generalize one company when only one person is to be blamed for all the fiasco (yet I still blame the old fans for (one of the reasons; there are others; don't mean to rile up the rest here...) ****ing Hideki Kamiya off in his Twitter who was reasoning with them to ask Capcom, not him several times. Look at him now! He became a total a-hole!). They're still students in making awesome games. They make good storytelling, but are still learning better gameplay mechanics in order for their games to compliment their storytelling prowess.
With that, I stand by what GF900000Returns said as I agree with it: Games today need a balance of gameplay, story, and value (especially replay value). They were attempting to make this balance!
Or a rebooted Nero... I'd love to see people's reactions. :lol:
Nero deserved to be rebooted, unless Capcom fill those damned plotholes about him, like how he came about, how he got Sparda's blood and what his REAL blood relationship with Sparda's family really is. He's still the walking plothole!
You just gave me my nostalgic memories of the StarWars series! The epic moment when Vader told Luke that he is his father...
