Paid dlc item storage. Wtf is this shit? Sad if true.
Now it make sense why Miyazaki is in a supervisor role.

Yes, I was frightened of those enemies every time I went near them, no matter how many times I repeated those parts. There aren't really any enemies like that in Dark Souls.
Some info from an interview with From Software's Hidetaka Miyazaki. Not sure if this is new or not.
- Acting as a supervisor for Dark Souls 2. Setting the general course for development, will fix said course if development goes offtrack.
- Doesn't want to lock up Dark Souls within his own narrow framework. Believes Dark Souls has a lot of potential and wants to leave things to the discretion of Shibuya (the director for DS2) as much as possible.
- VGA trailer wasn't in-game.
- Shares worldview with Dark Souls, but the story won't directly link to Dark Souls? Set in a different time period, as well.
- If Dark Souls is the north pole, then Dark Souls 2 is the south pole.
- Keyword is: time.
- Game engine has been changed, aiming for photo-realism. Will improve movement (guessing controls?), as well.
- Investigating having players directly get involved with one another (not sure what this is implying).

Get on it, Miyazaki, we believe in you!

This level was terrifying, I thought that it would be impossible to pass. When I did I was so relieved.
Demons had many places like this...almost every level felt like this gargantuan task.
This is exactly what I thought (considering twice the staff they used on DaS have been working on it since last september and it's only 25% complete). Moving away from PhyreEngine to something beefier that can handle particles would be a great idea - also now they can do a WiiU version
lol
Guys, all we're left with are meaty, interesting rumors and a promise that Miyazaki will keep the game on course. I wanna pout about the lack of things to pout about.
New engine and improved movement probably mean overhauled collision detection and player physics, which excites me greatly.

I think the new director's comments are plenty to be worried about. I'm not saying it's time to freak out just yet but I don't think there's much to be excited over.
I refuse to believe this, and why would this even be announced at this point? There's not even a positive way to spin it.

I thought I would be scared of the enemies in dark souls before I play it, but it was the opposite, the thing is that they don't move at all until you engage them, and they're always at the same sections. If the game has wandering enemies, it would make it a bit more thrilling.

I can't take credit for that amazing gif by the way, that was posted in the PTDE OT alongside a true tale of dark souls terror

Didn't really fear them until the black phantom versions started popping up... ugh.
Still hate fighting Titanite Demons in DaSouls, although I'm at the point where I just roll in and two hand them to death now.
Ugh i hate those things with a passion -_-
My most hated minion of all in Dark Souls.
lol I love this image
Don't think I ever hated them as much as when I was climbing out of TotG while trying to upgrade my Occult weapon for O&S on my no-level up run. Hated those disgusting pricks!
Randomly meeting players in your world not in phantom form ?!?! :O
Let's say coop moments in the game and do that part with another player, suddenly meeting each other. Maybe they probably meant some kind of
player-boss like Tower of latria
Could be some sort of asynchronous boss fight or event with players in the same area at the same time.
I would totally like more online-only events in my singleplayer playthrough.
