Hmm

on the darksoulsii.com homepage , if you choose North American as region you can PRE ORDER the game trough the pre order link.

You get directed then to Gamestops site and it says Release Date 12/31/2013

Interesting place holder. Has it been confirmed as a 2014 release?

 

[The_Monk]

I want a welcome BACK armor for having a Save file from Dark Souls 1 !

 

[sixghost]

Deleted the frame errors. Surprised they let that go through.


Hopefully not.

Look at the axe that was stuck in the pillar. It disappears, then falls out of the sky.

lol

 

[Ziltoid]

Looks like a -souls game to me. Will buy.

 

[Seance]

The age of fire is over, the dragons have returned! Praise Umbasa.

 

[Moonlight]

Magnificent.

 

[LiK]

The age of fire is over, the dragons have returned! Praise Umbasa.

I think it's a prequel

 

[Screaming Meat]

Is it me or does that look like they are fighting on a blade held up by a GIANT HAND???

 

[Persona86]

Look at the axe that was stuck in the pillar. It disappears, then falls out of the sky.

lol

Yeah his head and axe went through the pillar.

Edit: Oh shit they are standing on a giant sword not a pillar.

 

[VXLbeast]

Oh god not another flamelurker. Please no I can't handle that shit, the one boss that makes me feel useless.

Have we talked before about how disturbingly similar our views on the souls games are? If not, then: Hey, I'm VXLbeast and FUCK Flamelurker.

 

[JimmyRustler]

Looks like Dark Souls alright. After what they said in ealier interview I kinda expected they change it a bit. Doesn't really seem like it so far.

 

[Thoraxes]

The only video that can sum up how I feel right now:

[The Lamp]

This looks so good. Please From, keep it up. And make the game difficult ;_;

Oh it just looks so wonderful. I will pay top dollar for a badass collector's edition.

 

[antitrop]

Look at the axe that was stuck in the pillar. It disappears, then falls out of the sky.

lol

Very noticeable, but still a fucking great GIF.

 

[Hypron]

This looked fucking amazing.

 

[Zukuu]

this gif has so much potential. MS CEO holding the nextbox, and kaz-hogs throwing him off the cliff. x)

 

[Off-Kilter]

Is it me or does that look like they are fighting on a blade held up by a GIANT HAND???

Yep.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

I'm gonna sound real annoying right now to a lot of people, but to me this reads (and I agree with your list btw) like:

Pros: graphics/sound good

Cons: gameplay weird/too fast(player)/easy looking

And that's what worries me. Also, that's why I don't get why this gameplay eased people's concerns... Because "hey, gameplay looks weird, but there's time to change it" leaves me at the same point I was before the gameplay reveal

P.S.: Humanity?

I like the faster gameplay but the greatsword animations do look a bit too fast like it has no weight. The character also being able to easily kill the enemies perhaps was due to over leveling now that I thin about it.

This hasn't eased me about the finer details like the mechanisms because they didn't really show much of them and are probably still in development. So its not really their fault. I will get a better impression after seeing some gameplay that is not part of a demo.

 

[Screaming Meat]

Yep.

Thank Jebus.

 

[fluffydelusions]

I thought this game was suppose to be next gen? :/

Get PC version

 

[Mupod]

Got to the part with the skeleton dragon and closed it. I already know I want the game, I don't need to see any more.

 

[VXLbeast]

That's bloody brilliant.

 

[Lucent]

Oh god not another flamelurker. Please no I can't handle that shit, the one boss that makes me feel useless.

Really? I mean yeah he was a pain, but when I fought him one on one he seemed to give me JUST enough time to get my stamina back up to block. Was a long fight. But I guess I coulda made it easier.

 

[The_Monk]

That's bloody brilliant.

Damn, and now it needs to happen!

 

[Yoshichan]

The skeleton dragon part reminded me of the original Ninja Gaiden.

 

[Taruranto]

I wonder if a day/night cycle is possible.

I want weather effects. Some areas in DS were just asking for it.

 

[zewone]

My God. It's awesome.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Have we talked before about how disturbingly similar our views on the souls games are? If not, then: Hey, I'm VXLbeast and FUCK Flamelurker.

I've noticed lol. The thing that made the flamelurker fight even more frustrating was the path you had to take to get to him. Falling down those platforms pissed me off for some reason.

 

[LiK]

I hope we fight three bosses at once this time. Orstein & Smough are old news.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

This not being on PS4 means theres a chance that Miyazaki is working on Demons souls 2 for PS4......

So that the world might be mended...



BTW, in the closed thread people were talking about some kind of 'lore' videos for Dark Souls that go deeper into detail regarding the world/characters.
Does anyone have links to these (or one of these that would likely connect to the others)?

 

[VXLbeast]

Damn, and now it needs to happen!

I wish I had the know how.

I want weather effects. Some areas in DS were just asking for it.

Rain would be amazing. Like, a light rain in a forest setting. Yah, bring on that ambiance.

Nothing more discouraging than dying on the way to a boss.

 

[fluffydelusions]

It took me like 10 times to beat them.

 

[-tetsuo-]

Looks and plays exactly like first one. What's new? Still same boring game, from the first glance.

Didn't even add any guns or nothin

 

[Krusenstern]

Is it me or does that look like they are fighting on a blade held up by a GIANT HAND???

Dark Souls x Shadow of the Colossus confirmed!

Spoiler

lol

 

[Momentary]

This is definitely going to be a visual treat on the PC. Can't wait. Hopefully they'll have real graphical settings this time around.

 

[dark_prinny]

What about 4 Man Eaters?

 

[Omegasquash]

Don't the Four Kings spawn on a timer?

Epic name bro's channel is full of them type it into youtube.

Here's one.

Dark Souls x Shadow of the Colossus confirmed!

Spoiler

lol

That would be splendid.

 

[Yoshichan]

Speaking of ENB... he must be creaming his pants right now.

 

[Soodanim]

What was that weird effect when the arrows his the enemy that broke through the wall? I'm not sure I like it, but I'm not sure what it is yet.

 

[maniac-kun]

Great gameplay reveal!

 

[LiK]

Don't the Four Kings spawn on a timer?

Yea, but 3 from the start this time! D:

 

[dark_prinny]

[fierrotlepou]

Any news on the (hopefully) absence of Games for Windows?

 

[Deleted member 125677]

Looks pretty much like Dark Souls, alright. YOU DIED.

Hopefully the PC version is less crappy, and without Windows live login this time! In case Durante's got other things to do.

 

[Krusenstern]

Speaking of ENB... he must be creaming his pants right now.

I'm eager for his point of view of that video.

 

[antitrop]

Today is a great day for Namebro, as it is for all of us.

Praise the sun!

Search for EpicNameBro's Dark Souls Lore series on youtube, it's very easy to find them. They really are amazing. Also, he's already working on an in-depth analysis of this gameplay reveal to be released "tomorrow" (he's american but lives in Japan, so tomorrow for him may be very different for you as well)

 

[Ushae]

I thought this was next-gen? Looks like Dark Souls 1

This was on 360 I believe, which makes the wait for a next gen version even more exciting. I can't friggin wait to see this on a PS4/Durango!

Straight in my veins.
