Dark Souls Imagined As An Arcade Cabinet

Deviantart user semsei has put together an attractive mock-up of what Dark Souls may look like as an arcade cabinet. I think my favorite part of the advertisement is the "0 hand-holding."

Thanks to John Hollingsworth for the news tip!

  • looks pretty awesome

  • I would play it. :D

  • I would play this. The insane difficulty would definitely fit in with most arcade games. After a couple days most encounters turn into cakewalks, but there are few bosses that are tricky no matter how much you play.

  • Is there going to be a third game?
  • I think you could lose your life savings on that machine

  • well to be fair, the dark souls UI looks like it was designed in the 80's
  • That's awesome

  • Ha!  This is awesome.  If only it was real.

  • Im sold. "Shut up and take my money!"

  • I would have lost so much of my allowance playing that game as a kid...

  • looks great and really worth playing

  • Those existed.  They were called quarter-snatchers and they sucked down your week allowance within 5 minutes.  Heh.

  • "Use These Buttons To Not Die."

    Hah!  Oh man, I would've spent hours playing this.

  • The movie theater near me has a Terminator Salvation lightgun game, and it is awful. The aiming is atrocious, you can't hit anything on the far side of the screen. You end up just getting shot by a terminator for 5 minutes before you can finagle the gun enough to actually be able to hit the terminator. They do give you a lot of health though. They replaced House of the Dead and CarnEvil with this *** terminator game. When I was younger I played this Terminator arcade that had this huge ass turret that vibrated so hard that I was shaking after using it. I don't really remember if the gameplay was any good, just that it vibrated like a f**king beast. Doesn't really have that much to do with this, but it's an arcade memory I thought I would share.
  • 25 cents to play, you die you need to pay another 25 cents. yep this machine will make lot of money!

  • This needs to be a real thing.

  • Dark souls would of been a legit arcade/snes game, awsome adaptation and art.

  • AWESOME!

  • Why can't they do this for Halo?

  • I can only imagine how much money this game would make by people dying so much lol. Would probably costs you 100 bucks to get past the first stage.
