Bloodborne, too. Every single time, really.Some people on this very forum feared the same thing about DS2. They never learn.
Those hunched up things reminded of the alien looking dudes in Shadow Tower Abyss.
Twinking is a non-issue honestly. Soul memory punished the majority for a minor annoyance. Whatever system they come up to deal with it shouldn't effect normal players.

They always reveal with a CG trailer. I think we are getting gameplay tomorrow anyway, cool your jets
They always reveal with cg and gameplay tomo.
Talk about over dramatic, Christ dude.
Relax, gameplay is tomorrow.
Apparently gameplay will be shown tomorrow.
Well there's gameplay due to be shown off soon I think, so won't take long to find out what state it's in currently!
Looks amazing. Sad that this is stated to be the last game, but glad the series is going out while it's still on top.
Was hoping people would stop writing the entire game off now that O Mighty Miyazaki is confirmed to be directing, but I see there are already conspiracy theorists claiming we're all being lied to. Because there's NO WAY even the great Miyazaki could possibly oversee two projects at once.
Miyazaki:
Yeah, Im getting by. I learned a lot from developing Dark Souls, so I have another person at the director level supporting me on this project, and Im finding a way to make things work.
Since this interview is about Bloodborne, Id rather not talk too much about my role as president of From Software, but simply put, one of my conditions for taking on the role of president was that I would be able to remain involved in the day-to-day game development.
So reading other forums and such this was brought to my attention:

You might recognize the place in that shot. It was full of these lovely archers with giant arrows.
bit of a stretch.

Compare this shot to the one in the trailer, other than it being mirrored in the trailer (possibly viewed from the other side) it matches almost perfectly.

I don't know what game you played but my Dark Souls 2 was amazing and my Bloodborne was even better. But if you want to look for reasons to stress yourself out and imagine scenarios in which you're some kind of victim of a video game studio's evil machinations... then by all means.

Lore questions raised by the trailer.
1) Is that supposed to the be the Giant Lord / Last Giant, or a different giant?
2) The world seems so burnt and barren. Is it a world that has completely fallen to the undead curse /dark/whatever, or one that has been burned to hell by a resurgent Old Chaos? Only Ember remains? Also, the Giant is looking quite a bit like the Burnt Ivory King, so...
3) Human with a crown. So follow-up to Dark Souls 2 DLC, and maybe the only humans that remain are those that have the crowns?
I wouldn't think too much about "It looks like Anor Londo". That's just the sweep, Souls-y architecture. Loyce, Heide's, and the Dragon Aerie all looked Londo-ish. I think it is just trying to evoke the same feeling, but is a new city/castle.
Couldn't agree more with the bolded. The whole jumping to premature conclusions shenanigans is so tiring.This is probably gonna get lost to the ether, but I'd like to try and help some of you out.
7 points to help you prepare yourself for Dark Souls 3:
1. Try to appreciate/accept CG trailers. Pre-rendered CG is still an artform that provides jobs for many people in the industry. It doesn't make the reveal any less special, or their hard work any less relevant when you throw a tantrum about wanting to see gameplay.
2. Try to actually look at what you're seeing instead of just knee-jerking and making crazy connections. (P.S. that isn't the Giant Lord / Last Giant at the end of the trailer.)
3. If you're going to make crazy connections, don't write off the game just because you guessed something that somehow means all the stuff you hated about another game is back to spite you.
4. Don't make connections with leaked material. You don't know how old or incorrect any unofficial stuff is, so don't project from it.
5. Don't assume that you know the inner workings of the company and who exactly is making the game.
6. Don't assume that you're going to see gameplay, etc. just because Joe Blogs says you will. It's common for people in the media to get access to some stuff before the general public, but it's also common for them to misinterpret things and warp expectations.
7. Try to soak in the atmosphere and direction of what you've been shown. These games and the way they're presented have always been about sending a subtle message without spelling everything out and throwing answers at you. Let that be enough for now.
Fuck yes!Looks like we'll have gameplay footage tomorrow.

Yes. In the official press release, on the official twitter, and with a Steam logo at the end of the trailer.Has this definitely been confirmed for PC?
Haha ok thanks. I guess I didn't notice it during the MS conference.Yes. In the official press release, on the official twitter, and with a Steam logo at the end of the trailer.
If the area looks like Anor Londo, and The Giant Lord seems to be alive, maybe this is the bridge between 1 and 2.
I'd be down for that.
They are demoing the game tomorrow, but it could very well all be behind closed doors.
As for the impressions, Namco flew out a bunch of the hardcore Souls YouTubers and streamers. (Lobos, TerraMantis, Vaati, Oroboro, DreadedCone, Peeve, from what I'm aware.) I would recommend waiting for their impressions over the general media's. They demo is also going to be presented by Miyazaki himself, which is cool.

It's *a* Giant Lord. Doesn't have to be the same one, but it's clearly a DS2 style giant, faceless and all
Also what if the first flame was made from wood from dead giant-trees?!?!
I want to make this an own thread, but really I'm too lazy and E3 traffic still high so it might be ignored anyway.
It's good to see Miyazaki back directing a game series that started by him. But from the trailer, from the single line that first appeared, my guts telling that he going to end Dark Souls as a series for good. The first is about the Age of Fire come to an end, but it doesn't mean going to an end, more like that new age is coming. Meanwhile, "Only ember remains" highly implied that everything is going to an end. Now, I don't think FromSoft will stop producing Souls games since one of their MO is to exploit popular (niche, in the past) IP as much as possible. It is just that maybe Miyazaki want other people, like Yui Tanimura, to do Souls games without being weighted down by his reputation and legacy. We've seen that much of Dark Souls II problem is that Tanimura too highly respecting Miyazaki's work that it makes him confused on what to do with the game.
Personally I'm fine with that really. While I'm highly disappointed by DkSII, I could see some merit in it gameplay wise. I could see other people loving it but I also can understand why some hated because it's not a Miyazaki game either. Releasing the Souls games, especially Souls titled instalment from the shackles of Miyazaki's reputation (and reputation) will be a good situation for as all. Miyazaki perhaps could finally make the children he want to make (lol) and other people from FromSoft could try to take on the Souls games formula without being belittled or endlessly compared to him.
I really wished that we wouldn't see Dark Souls 4. But rather, a new IP that inherit the blood and souls of the series.
You're in luck, it's been "confirmed" as the final game of Dark Souls series.
