There are a few indie developers that are jumping on the formula - Salt and Sanctuary



But as you and a few others have probably noticed, the mechanics, directions, tutorials, maps, and online component are pretty obtuse (which i love).
I wouldn't say other folks can't do it, but the risk may be too great for them.

Look at "Lords of the Fallen". That game tried its best Dark Souls clone, it was a disaster.

edit: It takes a certain type of personality to enjoy these games.. Most folks want their hand held, easy checkpoints, quick saves, and a pause button
