I def had a feeling Miyazaki wouldn't be directing..

Obviously this means he is busy making Demon's Souls 2 for the PS4 launch.

Interested to see if this is an entirely new setting from Dark souls, or just a different part of the world. To be honest, I wouldn't mind them starting completely over again.

 

[Phonomezer]

I need to see the trailer again.

 

[I'm an expert]

Huh?

Common opinion that you can't be a Nintendo-only console owner nowadays since the only thing you'll get there are Mario 47, Zelda 22, and a few shitty ports. You'd have to own one of the HD giants (or a pc) to be able to play most games.

I don't know why people keeping thinking Demon's Souls 2 is ever happening. Sony fucked that up.

christ why did I buy a wii u

OK, this made me giggle.

 

[upandaway]

The PC button links to xbox.com. GFWL confirmed!

It links to http://www.xbox.com/en-US/live/pc which just says "Games for Windows"

 

[NBtoaster]

I don't really think you want that. It would probably run at 5 FPS in the Blighttown equivalent

please no fucking swamp this time

 

[Defuser]

Isn't that a bad thing because they can be shut down?

Demon's souls servers are still going strong after 3 years. Anyway by then majority would have move on to the next souls game anyway.

I rather have that then dealing with that horrendous P2P which fails majority of the time and not being able to coop with a friend without going through some loops to achieve it.

It redirects to Games for Windows, which is completely different to GFWL despite the similar name.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Considering it's not next gen, I have the feeling this means we'll see it on shelves by summer of 2013.

I can dream

lol i think DS2 brought down 4chan

 

[Haunted]

christ why did I buy a wii u

I, too, bought my WiiU for the promise of more Dark Souls games.

 

[Strife91]

I wouldn't expect an earlier release than late october.

 

[LiK]

don't you wanna take Dark Souls 2 to the bathroom?

 

[Thoraxes]

FROM missed a chance to improve my bowel movements with the lack of a Wii U version.

My pooping efficiency would've been improved so hard.

 

[dani_dc]

PC release?
This just keeps getting better.

I haven't been this excited for a game in a long long time.

 

[zkylon]

It links to http://www.xbox.com/en-US/live/pc which just says "Games for Windows"

Oh, you're right, there might be some hope yet.

The trailer's amazing, I need it in uncompressed 1080p NOW

I'm hyped beyond belief

 

[helloresolven]

If a collector's edition exists, this might be the first one I ever buy :'). I need this now.

 

[Durante]

I, too, bought my WiiU for the promise of more Dark Souls games.

Ha! That got me.

Atlus, and even then they've pushed back the eventual shutdown of the servers several times.

This is Namco we're talking about here. Those servers aren't going to last three years.

 

[Orayn]

I don't want this to be a 2013 release because I want it to have a longer development cycle and more polish. That said, Fall 2013 is my guess for a release window.

 

[Incendiary]

I don't care what world it's in, if it's a prequel or a sequel or what. I just want more. Gimme gimme gimme.

 

[Jinfash]

Who's this Tomohiro Shibuya? Never heard of him.

 

[ijed]

Haha, love how the site has a hanging pendant. Time for more trolling.

Dark Trollolololols

I am hype

 

[kinggroin]

Double the blight, FROM, framerate on consoles be damned. Our Durante is ready!

 

[la flama blanca]

I need the highest res trailer available, NAO

 

[LiquidMetal14]

christ why did I buy a wii u

The real question is why do you only own a WiiU? Unless you own other platforms then you're good to go.

 

[zlatko]

VGAs delivered thanks to this imo. This made me SO giddy!

 

[Robot Pants]

christ why did I buy a wii u

you were a fool

 

[Wanny]

Bros, I think I might cry from the joy that is this announcement.

Don't worry man. I'll publicly say it that I cried too.

 

[params7]

PS3/360


NOOOOOO

I thought current gen was done. fuck

 

[RedSwirl]

I wouldn't be surprised if they did a Wii U port later if the console really takes off in Japan.

 

[Thoraxes]

PS3/360


NOOOOOO

PC

PCCCCCCCC

20 year life cycles mang

 

[Jintor]

Doodled something quickly to celebrate

 

[d0c_zaius]

Ha! That got me.

cant wait for you to get up in that PC version!

 

[Snapshot King]

It redirects to Games for Windows, which is completely different to GFWL despite the similar name.

Christ why is that shit so confusing. Getting people worried for no reason.

 

[params7]

Oh, you're right, there might be some hope yet.

The music in the trailer is mindblowing.

 

[Ysiadmihi]

Very good of them to not pull the typical "Oh well we might consider a PC version down the line..." bullshit Japanese devs tend to do these days.

 

[Criminal Upper]

I wouldn't be surprised if they did a Wii U port later if the console really takes off in Japan.

The 360's been selling like gangbusters over there, so I don't see why not?

My phone's new lock screen.

Two years is Fromsoft's traditional cycle. I can be down with that.

 

[QaaQer]

I'm tempted by the PC version because of mods but hackers on PC and the online community is better on PS3 makes me wanna buy the PS3 version instead.

True dat.

 

[params7]

VGA 2012 made up for the lackluster E3 this year. That's for sure.

 

[upandaway]

cant wait for you to get up in that PC version!

I wonder how that'll work again.

Either they do it exactly the same and leave the obvious opening for Durante to do his magic
Or they "fix" the opening and screw everyone over (and then it depends on whether the port is good or not)

 

[Robot Pants]

So the masks they are wearing resemble the Mask of the Child no?

 

[Liseda]

gfwl is quite disappointing but I'm not really surprised..

 

[2Crisis]

Very good of them to not pull the typical "Oh well we might consider a PC version down the line..." bullshit Japanese devs tend to do these days.

Maybe they'll hire Durante for the PC version

 

[evilromero]

Oh god oh god oh god. My favorite game this gen! So effing effing hyped. I'm sorry. I can't contain it.

 

[Varna]

Holy shit. Amazing news!

PC version. This time is better be at least a barebones effort. :/
