Minor gripe but damn. Can we dress up the health/magic hud just a bit? Sooo plain. It was in dark souls also but come on we've learned and evolved. Let's make it a little fancier

I find it perfect. Simple, easy to see at a glance. The item/weapons/magic cross in the corner is still way too big though.

Wait, did the host do a parry animation with his medium shield at 3:35? I thought parrying was going to be exclusive to small shields this time around, which was very disappointing news.

Parrying is exclusive to "kite shields" (regular parry) and "round shields" (fancy buckler-type parry) iirc. I think the host (cleric) was using a kite.

I reckon any larger shields will either be used for arts or bashing.

OP: Thanks for compiling the list.
If anyone managed to play and has any impressions of their own, please do share :)

Guys ,never played DS before. How is this game different than Bloodborne? Is it the setting only ?
Hope I don't insult the hardcore fans here .

The setting is different, and the gameplay is a bit different as well. Bloodborne is faster and has more focus on action instead of customization. Dark Souls has more personal play style options, and is a bit more slow and methodical. There are also some other different minor gameplay systems.

They are still quite similar though.

I read there was a "Winged Executioner" mini-boss of sorts to fight in the demo. Is there any video footage of this enemy?

It wasn't really a mini boss.
Pretty much a Bloodborne executioner with an area of effect magic attack.

Oh, so it's that big guy down below, near the Frigid Valley boss? I fought that one, but thought there was a different enemy.

Loving the overall look but I tell you what I really am getting tired of. Seeing the aftermath of things. The Souls games are always showing what happened after a massive crazy battle or an utter scene of desolation. Some of the rooms in DS3 are filled with corpses, so why not show me a little of how it happened. I want to see what wrecked all these dudes!

didn't DS2 do exactly that in the memory sequences?
 
Lol at that Torch Meta video. Theres always one summon who cant get with the program and join in the fun. Red spirits got wrecked.

Late reply but nah - shields seem to have slots that allow for either parrying, self buffing, shouts, and possibly more (spell reflection and striking?). Several characters have the same shields but there is a circular slot with different icons between them.
