That is a huge spoiler imo why the hell???
Also what sense does it make bringing Gwyn back?

The cycle coming to full circle. Age of dark dying and restarting the age of fire.
This would be my guess.
Don't tell me we are gonna have another lame ass final boss fight with
Gwyn

If your in this thread, you should be prepared for spoiler content relating to the announcement.
The giant at the end of the trailer is supposedly gwyn...
Are you just oblivious or an asshole?
If they revealed that
at E3, I really doubt it's some game ruining spoiler. Probably ties into the idea of this being the end of the age of fire and everything (and one) coming to a head. DS2 was about the various kings and rulers vying for power and control over the ages,
for the end of it could be interesting.
edit: spoilered for the babbies
Gwyn is back
bringing back the one who created the cycle

Truly the vision dark souls 2 was lacking!

Fuck me you are in this thread about the dark souls annoucement, Namco have just told everyone that the game is about gwyn. So basically go on media blackout now, because every hashtag etc is going to say gwyn is the focus of the game

Very Old Dragonslayer in part 3?

I mean I can look past it if theres a damn good reason for it unlike Ornstein, but if the game is centered on Gwyn again and linking the first flame ill be a bit underwhelmed. Im hoping the eclipse stuff and apocalypse takes precedent.
That is a completely different looking gwyn design though. Perhaps the giants from Dark Souls 2 are indeed the old Giant Gods from Lordran.

I for one am really interested if this game is tying together the stories of the previous 2 souls games and shows the end of the cycles. Hearing Gwyn is at the heart of things is kinda cool... I want to see where they go with it.
I'd bet my next paycheck that he is returning as an npc.
He can´t be the final boss again,unless VanOrd already finished the game lol.

This. If it makes sense and ties everything together nicely I have no problems.
EDIT: So Van Ord just backpedaled on what he said. Apparently its just the Lord of Cinder. Not clear on whether or not its Gwyn.

So clarification: Lord of Cinder, I specifically asked, and they are being mum on whether this is Gwyn or, Dark Souls I player.
Kevin VanOrd ‏@fiddlecub 2m2 minutes ago
They described it as a "resurrection," but the Lord of Cinder's true identity is an official secret. Sorry to be confusing

Fire is the keypoint in the design, cool
You should still you would find then slow and wonky after BB, the lore ties both Dark Sousl games but Dark Souls 2 tries to makes its own lore and settings
It would be weird but there is a suble indication the Iron King found someone dept in the black iron mines who teachs him how to use the metal.
On the Gwyn stuff -
Isn't this crown really similar to his in the original Dark Souls?

Confirmed: summon signs. Estus flasks. Miyazaki joined project in the prototype stages, as he did with Demon's Souls. #DarkSoulsIII

He doesn't seem to have a whole like the giants? More like some abyss-style stuff like in the leaked screenshots
We're getting impressions later this evening, thats awesome atleast

Wooo Summon Signs!
Could this be the Dream Team of Miyazaki working with the Dark Souls 2 team? I would absolutely LOVE this.

VanOrd is a dickhead, why would you spill something like that?
Also VanOrd mentioned: "So clarification: Lord of Cinder, I specifically asked, and they are being mum on whether this is Gwyn or, Dark Souls I player. They described it as a "resurrection," but the Lord of Cinder's true identity is an official secret. Sorry to be confusing."

Yeah it is, I guessed it was Gwyn when I first watched it

and the other healing items for casters.
If they are saying that so openly in the closed doors presentations it's probably gonna feature in next PR and/or trailers.

I really really hope they realize how bad of an idea this was.

Sword action will be evolving, and greater range of character builds. #DarkSoulsIII Demo now begins.
This must be about the "Rush In" and "Cricle" feature. I'm interested how they'll do it, I think the circle feature is similar to the dashing in bloodborne.

Eh I'll wait and see how it work out but gwyn was a mindless hollow by the end not sure how he'd get recharged especially if this is the begging of the age of dark. Makes much more sense to bring back someone from the "dark" side like manus or the serpents. Bring back Gravelord Nito plz he was already dead anyway lol

This is exactly what im feeling. Then again anyone would make that assumption because we only know of one character named Lord of Cinder.
Oh yeah, not as many points and Gwyns crown is thicker. I'd looked at this -
Seen the crown and the way his arm glows and the cuffs and thought it was a possibility but I guess not.

lolSo,we're gonna parry Gwyn again uh?
Oh fuck YESKevin VanOrd said:
Hahah, nice. <3Kevin VanOrd said:
It's just speculation after a 20 minute gameplay demo. I wouldn't worry about it.

Excellent. Wasn't a fan of Bloodborne's healing direction.
