Haha, yeah, he is one of my favorites as well. Quite honestly, I bought Dark Souls because Motoi Sakuraba was doing the music and using some live instruments and vocals.
In case anybody's intrested, here's an epic hidden track a youtuber found on the game disk:

There's a GOTY-type re-release planned later this year AFAIK.

His inclusion is one reason I'm super excited. I can't wait to hear the tracks I've become a fan of in-game.Awesome. I played it on PS3 and had a good time (still haven't finished it though). Game's got some nice music from Motoi Sakuraba as well. Yeah!
Have fun when you get it, bro.
Nice seeing you around again!

Holy shit, so much new stuff in that trailer, I don't know where to even begin. I think I saw some kind of super titanite demon in the abyss? And what looked like a humungous black phantom black knight killing the shit out of the player.
And that arena mode looks hot!

As soon as i make the Greatsword of Artorias and spend 10 Demon Titanite upgrading it, this DLC comes out. I am pumped up - I was always bummed that this guy was mentioned so much but there were no good interactions with his backstory.
I hope this means gravelording is going to work better or the new content will have a lot of BP enemies
Can't wait for this. This is on the show floor tomorrow right? Looking forward to some impressions... naively hoping that the resolution lock just ain't true.

Yeah, they definitely need some permanent BP enemies, otherwise for us vets the new content will be too easy.
Any idea what's going on here? I'm getting Demons Souls vibes from this.

Artorias sounds amazing.
You will understand one day.

Yeah my only worry is that I'm going to beat this new content in like an hour.
Also getting Demon's Souls vibes from that.. kind of look like the shadowlurkers from 4-2.
It looks related to the "dark magic" spell that was shown in an earlier screenshot (linked because screenshot is massive):

They seem like inhabitants of the abyss to me, which is apparently slowly enveloping all of Ooacile in the new content. It reminds me of the "thinnys" from Stephen King's Dark Tower series.
I always wondered where that song went...why wasn't it used? That and the song from the E3 trailer were phenomenal, but never used in the game.

Artorias looks bad-fucking-ass.
Can't wait for the console DLC.
EDIT: For all the people worried about length, FROM stated that it's 10 hours for experienced players. For anyone who knows anything about Dark Souls, that can easily mean 20+ hours of playtime if you want to find and learn everything.
He's clearly hollow, or overtaken by something. He doesn't move like a human.

From what I understand, the new content will have
four areas and a boss for each area

Looking good. A meaty piece of DLC for 10 hours. Not bad. Looking forward to the DLC.

Hopefully the estimate is right. They've been saying 10 hours for experienced players. Experienced players can accomplish a lot in 10 hours.

Those look like humanities.
I hope so, but I can beat the game in 10 hours now. Of course, I am very familiar with the vanilla game, and I won't be rushing through the new content at all but rather exploring every nook and cranny, and probably getting destroyed by new enemies at first. I was thinking of tackling the DLC at SL1 my first time through... but I want to be able to use the new spells and weapons. Oh well, I'm sure I'll still play it a million times regardless and get my money's worth.
Apparently you need to have cleared Anor Londo for the DLC to be available. So I'm guessing level 50+ is recommended for these areas? of course, if it's designed like the rest of the game, you'll be able to beat it at any level.
I beat the main game in 30 hours so 10 hours would be great for me.

Not to mention the added replay value of PvP/Co-op.

I have some nice 125 pvp builds on NG and a 350+ build on NG+++. Not sure which will provide the most challenge, but I'm leaning towards NG+++. Enemies are just too weak on NG, even bosses. OTOH, I'll miss out on co-op at lvl 350.
I don't think I'll make a new build from scratch, since it can never be like the very first time when you don't know anything.

Will NG+++ runs be applied to the DLC?

I'm planning on doing the DLC with my third character, a paladin style knight/miracle hybrid that I just barely started. My other two characters are on NG+ and I'd rather tackle the DLC on a first runthrough to see what it's like before going into it on NG+.

Absolutely. The DLC is part of the game now, albeit optional. Think Painted World or Asylum.
I'm guessing that as long as you've past whatever point necessary for the DLC to unlock in your current playthrough, it will be available. For example if you need to have beaten Anor Londo, but are on NG+++ and are still in the burg, it won't unlock in that cycle until you've beaten Anor Londo. I'm sure it factors in the difficulty/soul scaling in consecutive NG+ cycles just like the rest of the game.
Of course the console DLC isn't free. It's $15.
Yeah, that's what I expected. My PS360 characters are now never likely to be returned to.
Ah well, looking forward to the PC release and starting fresh.
Um... so?

I hadn't even considered this.
My main character is on NG+ but I started a new build just for this DLC a month or so ago.
Truth is, my main build is by far my favorite build out of all my characters, and he's in NG+... I might just end up playing on my NG+ file anyway.
Oh well, I got another 40 hours of Dark Souls out of it.
I'm more excited about this DLC than I am about any other game coming out this year...
Oh you've played it? What's the DLC area like? How's the new PvP matchmaking?
...
$32 to play on PC is fine by me.
No, he meant the actual port itself sucks, not the game.
I know >.>
Sarcasm was a little too subtle. Never mind. The port thread, all ~30 pages of it, is one of the more hilarious threads I've sat through.

Worst PC port since saints row 2.

Ditto. Best thing about new content is experiencing it while knowing nothing. Best way to lay a Souls game
god I wish. The only thing worse than port-begging (which is bannable) is port-complaining in an OT.
