Anyone could be a lord of cinder if they link the fire.

Fair point but so far no one survived that process outside Gwyn who became hollow anyway

 

[SargerusBR]

Hnnnnngh


I need to see that gameplay ASAP

 

[Iva Demilcol]

Well, Lord Gwyn, The Witch of Izalith, Nito and even Manus returned in DS II, so I don't see how it would be surprising if they come back for this entry of the series too.

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

Summon signs and estus flasks, all I needed to hear. I love Bloodborne but its related systems to these were just not as good.

 

[Lux R7]

Pendant as starting gift please

 

[DoubleTake]

Biting my nails off while waiting for impressions of gameplay...

 

[martino]

Yes sweet baby come back to your strength and rich vision and leave behind the mainstream hack'nslash action/simplification

I wonder what it's called this time?
Traverse the White Light
Enter Nightmare Fog
Enter Fog
Enter Mist

This is why I hate direct sequels. I don't see what possible point there is in bringing back G-man. His story ended and it was one of the best moments in the entire game.

 

[Soriku]

Guys seriously, the game just got announced, there are no "big spoilers" lmao!

We don't know if it's Gwyn or not.

 

[Shredderi]

There is a behind closed door demo? Tear the door down with a hungry mob and force them to show footage to us right now!

 

[Pooya]

sounds good so far, Dark Souls 2 systems were close to perfect, just need some tweaks and no soul memory.

 

[M3z_]

Praise the sun, estus flasks are back. May blood vial farming forever be forgotten.

 

[Sid]

Maybe there's a way to import our character from Dark Souls 1 which would then be the first or last boss in the game.

 

[Shmuppers]

I could kinda see it. The garb that the giant was wearing at the end of the trailer looks a lot like what

Spoiler

Gwyn was wearing at the end of DS1.

Hear, hear.

Any doubts can now be forever silenced

 

[sappyday]

Spoiler

The giant is obviously us from the end of DkS2

 

[Ferr986]

Spoiler

yeah Makes more sense being the player from DS2 than DS1 IMO, if it ends up being a choosen undead.

 

[Lanrutcon]

Oh hell yes.

Between this, FO4 and FF7:R my mind has been sufficiently blown for the rest of the year.

 

[zenosparadox]

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

You say that as if anything in the Souls brand depends on what Bloodborne did. Is it not obvious that these two series are designed differently?

 

[Krigaren]

I guess the Twitch interview got delayed again?

 

[Kazuhira]

I'm dying to see some actual gameplay.

 

[Zomba13]

Pendant as starting gift please

DS1 save import feature and if you started with the pendant in DS1 you start with it in DS3 and it unlocks the super hidden special secret true ending.

 

[Blade30]

Any doubts can now be forever silenced

Well there it is. I can't wait for more details, especially some gameplay videos.

 

[Jombie]

Van Ord said he was going to have an extensive write-up of his impressions from the demo later today.

 

[ANDS]

Nope. People refuse to let it go that these are two separate games with some similar DNA.

 

[Red Liquorice]

Haha, this would be so amazing!

 

[More Fun To Compute]

It's going to be Bob, Lord Of Cinder. He is going to be cooler than Gwyn because he is a giant and built a really big gothic castle where it is always misty and desaturated and his dad could totally take Gwyn's dad in a fight.

 

[Trashcan Man]

Dark Souls 1 is top 10 for me but I'm totally burnt out now.

 

[Havel]

So according to VanOrd, Miyazaki is co-directing and joined the project in the prototype stages.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Confirm sunbros.


Do eet.

 

[Lux R7]

Any doubts can now be forever silenced

clearly a clone

 

[Pie and Beans]

So according to VanOrd, Miyazaki is co-directing and joined the project in the prototype stages.

Yeah, this is definitely what I think is happening. Bit more of a touch than DSII, but also perhaps a little bit of a PR thing too.

 

[Jombie]

So according to VanOrd, Miyazaki is co-directing and joined the project in the prototype stages.

With whom, I wonder?

I hope it's Tanimura, just to piss the ds2 hater crowd off.

 

[Cloud Strife]

Get rid of lifegems, estus shards, and make it like DS1 por favor.

 

[Ferr986]

So according to VanOrd, Miyazaki is co-directing and joined the project in the prototype stages.

Brace yourselves...

 

[JudgmentJay]

He co-directed Bloodborne as well, didn't he?
EDIT: Not sure why I thought that... doesn't appear to be the case.

Not that it matters, the concern trolls will use this since they have nothing else at the moment.

 

[Lux R7]

there is something important for me.
i really want some info about the upgrade system. I hate, really hate the upgrade system in ds2, i just want the ds1 option. Bring back titanite kinds and, for the love of all the gods, bring back holy weapons.

 

[AWizardDidIt]

(baseless) Story Speculation:
Dark Souls 3 revolves around ending the cycle of ages and the undead curse. This might involve Gwyn and the Furtive Pygmy since they seem to be the two central characters who set the cycle into motion.

Feature I'd love to see:
An optional boss rush mode where the player is given a set number of estus flasks and has to face remixed versions of bosses from throughout the series.

 

[Bl@de]

So according to VanOrd, Miyazaki is co-directing and joined the project in the prototype stages.

Uh oh

 

[Altazor]

Any doubts can now be forever silenced

...

Preposterous.

 

[Jombie]

And saw something he didn't like in the prototype stage.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Get rid of lifegems, estus shards, and make it like DS1 por favor.

Life gems barely worked late game why? It's a nice help for early boss fights

 

[More Fun To Compute]

With whom, I wonder?

I hope it's Tanimura, just to piss the ds2 hater crowd off.

Should make it Mac only as well just to annoy the PC community who ruined Souls forever by dirtying it with their presence amirite.

Good idea

 

[Havel]

Yeah, he did.

It honestly means nothing, but there will be people who will complain.

Pygmy would be interesting to see him/her awakening the Dark Souls finally like Manus and be the final boss of the game
I though the chasm abyss would be about that in Dark Souls 2

Life gems barely worked late game why? It's a nice help for early boss fights

Better waste a Life gem than an estus for the health regen bonus.

 

[PolishQ]

Joining the project in the prototype stage doesn't necessarily mean he's co-directing.

 

[Robot Pants]

Hopefully they just throw 2's story out the window and pretend it never existed.
Give us the real sequel to DS1.
