Awesome! I've been waiting for this. Nice to know it has twice as many pages as the first one too.

Good looking out OP *fist bump*

Twice as many pages as the first one, twice the price as the first one on Amazon.co.uk

Seems to have rather high asking price compared to DSDW. Will most likely get this though.

 

[InternHertz]

Preordered, thanks for the heads up.

Dat price tho

 

[levyjl1988]

Preordered. It's up on amazon.ca too!

 

[Armaly]

Sweet! My Dk1 design works was getting lonely on my shelf.

 

[Safeto20Scroll]

OOohhhh thats real tempting.. thanks for letting me know!

Twice as many pages as the first one, twice the price as the first one on Amazon.co.uk

Haha, I noted that too

 

[afternoon delight]

Really enjoyed the first so I'll gladly check out this as well! Thank you for the notice.

First artbook was classy as hell, and I'm glad this one is getting twice as many pages to hopefully give the art more real estate.

I'm probably just blinded by my distaste for the gameplay changes, but both the art and the soundtrack in the sequel seemed a little... muted? In comparison the art for Bloodborne was astronomically interesting.

Maybe I'll wait for a video upload to amazon reviews before picking this one up

Miyazaki didn't work on this book, it's probably shit.

Anybody got some high res shots of the DS1 book? Are they good quality? I didn't even know these existed, I might pick up both.

Nice!

I was going to buy the Japanese version.

 

[hawk2025]

YES.

I'm sure the price will drop on Amazon eventually.

The first one is great and super-premium, I love the slipcover. Bring on the Bloodborne and DS3 DesignWorks!

 

[sploatee]

Thanks OP!

 

[Murkas]

Any update on this?

I keep getting an email from Amazon once a month saying the release date has been pushed back lol.

 

[InternHertz]

Sorry for the bump but...
Finally mine has been sent by Amazon.fr and should arrive by tomorrow. It's been a long wait...

 

[Murkas]

After months of delays mine has finally arrived.

Looks quite neat.

 

[Auctopus]

Mine arrived a couple days ago. It's great and provides some nice insight.

It's interesting compared to the original Design Works how many times the phrase "Originally this ideas was..." occurs.

 

[Ferr986]

Seeing this thread I decided to check Amazon to get it but ouch, its almost double the price of the first one (that I haven't got already, I 'll think I'll bite on that one).

 

[DOT DASH DOT]

Phew at least it didn't take them long to get this book out!

 

[ajb1888]

Mine arrived a couple days ago. It's great and provides some nice insight.

Need to make a Bloodborne book asap! lol

Even though I don't like DS2 I'm kinda interested in this. What I've seen of the concept art is mostly awesome, just didn't translate well into graphics.
