Just a hunch, but I don't think the IGN video is the true start of the game.
I think you'll play up to the point where you are captured by the guy at the start of the IGN video. Or some other but similar kind of scenario.

There's like at least 3 NPCs in this first area- Another Hunter, and two people behind locked doors, and Gamon in the Refuge.
Alot more horror theme? Those messengers are creepy looking and sounding.

Not me, because I was stripped of my member privelege a year ago.
I noticed that too. I wonder if there's more talking to flesh out the world and other characters.

11/10. This is so frigin' Demon's Soul.
That could be. The way the player received
his starting equipment especially felt strange, mainly because there was only one enemy before they hit the alpha area
I can't take this.

So how often are we going to get new info from IGN? Never followed a game on their IGN First thing... is it a daily thing?

Aren't those the giant trees from Dark Souls off in the distance in the nexus area? Crossover confirmed

Looks a bit like the game fuses the Nexus with Dark Souls connected world. Dream Refuge looks like it acts like the nexus but with only one archstone style thing, and the rest of the game is hopefully one huge level. Whilst I'm not a fan of Nexus style hubs, this is definitely preferable to how the Nexus was before.

Maybe it's just me, but I did not find it all that spoilery. Other than the "hub" There was nothing area/enemy wise we had not seen already. I (personally) do not consider a short glimpse of the hub a spoiler.
Other than that, we saw a few new interfaces, and that tiny bit of the intro.
Good video all in all. TY for that higher def link BTW.

Looks aight. Not exactly getting super hyped over the footage though it was looking really fun during the group fight.
I need this in my veeiinnnnss ><
The hub looks amazing and the framerate seemed better as well. I don't know about the new lighting for the skybox but if there's some kind of cycle (trying not to read too much about it, so I'm not certain there is) that's not a big deal.
Just two-ish months ;_;

I couldn't help myself. I watched it. I'm glad I did, though. I don't feel like anything was spoiled and we got to see some of the stat screens. I want it NOW. Fifty days to go. *sigh*
I gave up and watched it
Same, and I don't even regret it.
Looked amazing, can't wait to play this.

I love Pokken!
So its a hub that works like Nexus/Majula? i wonder how inter-conected the world really is. If it is inter-conected at all.

I hope it is a hub world type deal ala Demons. It really helps with getting stuck in a specific area and getting overly frustrated from monotony and really creates a game where a replay can be COMPLETELY different the next time around. Taking a completely different route through the game and creating unique challenges for yourself due to the various different areas being better for later game, but doing it early gives you access to even better equipment.
Shit like that.
We'll see. Either way is alright, but I MUCH preferred the hub system of Demons to the interconnected stuff of Dark.

Sometimes (like when we did MCC in October), but usually we have content drops about 3x per week.
Tomorrow will be a big, in-depth, written feature preview about the first couple hours of the game, written by Marty. Hope you enjoy the month!

I just can't wait for the character creation stuff. I hope it's still like DarkSouls, so there's body shape and massive facial customisation.

I almost couldn't be more hyped than I am right now for this. It looks great and my biggest concern would be the lack of character customization, which seems like it won't be an issue (can't wait for the next video).
I'm super disappointed they went back to the hub world dynamic, which DS2 already went back to the well on. I'm sure creating a world like DkS1 was super difficult, but I hoped Miyazaki would be up for the challenge again. The gameplay already looks like exactly what I want, so I'm pumped for March 24th.

It also reduces the endless backtracking when you want to get something forged or buy stuff.
