"It is being developed for PS3 by FromSoftware, and ported to the Xbox 360 by Namco Bandai."

So we don't need to fear that the PS3 version will suffer from the existence of a 360 version this time?

Holy shit man, Berserk all over my face

hah, i didn't even notice that lil blurb in GB.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Last night my PS3 told me it wanted Dark Souls. This actually happened.

 

[ironcreed]

That is what I am talking about. Setting the proper mood.

 

[blackflag]

Guess that, for the most part, answers what version I'll get. I guess it depends on multiplayer functionality as well though this go-around. For Demon's Souls it didn't matter that I have no one on my PS3 friends list.

 

[Nix]

This world is so beautiful; just so goddamn beautiful. I love this world man.

DARK SOULS, YOU ARE MY BITCH!!!

 

[The_Monk]

I try to avoid watching more stuff, but then I can't resist, I wonder how many times I'm gonna get killed this time until I finish it...


By the way, does any Gaffer know what is the code that we got from a site couple of months ago? Something to help in our journey they say, but I wonder what is...

Anyone?

 

[YoungHav]

soul of the mind motherfucker. I'm going to sacrifice a goat before this game is released.

 

[Phonomezer]

I'm not watching this. But I really, really want to ;(

 

[birdchili]

Last night my PS3 told me it wanted Dark Souls. This actually happened.

Dark Souls came to *me* during the night and told me to buy a ps3.

...this is kind-of creepy, really.

 

[mooglesoft]

I'm not watching this. But I really, really want to ;(

same here. only a little less than two months now...

DARK SOULS, YOU ARE MY BITCH!!!

Where's that shyamalam twist .jpg when you need it

PS3 is the lead version because Dark Souls probably reuses the Demons' Souls engine, which was made on the PS3.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Wow, isn't that the same announcer from Demon's Souls?

What it really means is: you better don't buy the 360 version.

 

[Speevy]

I think the goal of these prologues is to be as cryptic and mysterious as possible.


In the beginning, there was the mist. And from the mist, came the spark. But this spark was not to ignite, for there was an evil brewing. And from that ancient brew, there arose the spirit of another.

 

[LiK]

Trailer has no spoilers. It's setting the mood mainly.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Demon Souls had some pretty sever framedrops. Dark Souls trailers/walkthoughs had them as well.

I can't even imagine what the 360 port is gonna end up like.

 

[Dr. Acid Avatar]

This world is so beautiful; just so goddamn beautiful. I love this world man.

DARK SOULS, I AM YOUR BITCH!!!

FTFY

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Scamco isn't gonna bring the 360 version to NA, lol.

jk, I think.

 

[lastendconductor]

I watched till 0:30 or so. Preordered this fucker right away, self imposed media blackout starts now!

Thanks

 

[Xater]

This prologue is great. Love the atmosphere for this.

 

[Arcblade]

I came.

I saw.

I came.

Thank you sir

 

[ujnhunter]

Darn... I'm pretty bummed now. I was all excited to play some Dark Souls with my (much preferred) wireless Xbox 360 controller. But if FromSoft isn't handling it... I think I'll have to cancel my pre-order.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Can't wait. Got this preordered at Amazon.

 

[UNCyrus]

Prologue reminds me entirely too much of Demon's Souls for this to be simply a spiritual successor.

 

[AgentChris]

Oh yes. Can't wait for this. <3 FromSoftware

 

[Xater]

This probably would have been DS2 if it wasn't for Sony.

 

[Feindflug]

hah, i didn't even notice that lil blurb in GB.

Yeah I was under the impression that From was developing both versions...

From an Edge preview:

Hidetaka Miyazaki’s desk isn’t unlike that of so many Japanese videogame makers. A small army of rubber and plastic figurines battle for space with a PC, keyboard, mouse and an Xbox 360 development kit across its laminate surface.

 

[Man]

Oh yeah. Getting that Demon's Souls feel right.

 

[dwix]

Love the mood of this, can't wait to see more of it. As someone on a media blackout, it's nice to know I can at least watch something related to this game before it releases.

 

[Rodney McKay]

Demon Souls had some pretty sever framedrops. Dark Souls trailers/walkthoughs had them as well.

I can't even imagine what the 360 port is gonna end up like.

Probably smoother.

 

[John Harker]

a land of gray crags, crooked trees, and 'everlasting dragons' eh? yea... that makes sense

oh and fire came AFTER the everlasting dragons. who apparently only breathe non-fire fire

 

[RyanDG]

I've cancelled every other game I've pre-ordered for the rest of this year.

I'm sorry Skyrim, Resistance 3, Space Marines, Uncharted 3, and whatever else I'm forgetting that I'm no longer going to buy.

I only need one more game this generation and Dark Souls will be it.

 

[LiK]

a land of gray crags, crooked trees, and 'everlasting dragons' eh? yea... that makes sense

Take that Skyrim!

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

That didn't make any sense at all.

 

[TreIII]

Yep. Between this and Gundam Extreme Vs., Bamco is certainly getting a good hunk of my money this year! :lol

 

[Backfoggen]

Outsourced port? Hope it doesn't suck.

 

[YoungHav]

please please please tell me the Maiden in Black's voice actress is back?

 

[iKeepPlaying]

 

[Orayn]

That didn't make any sense at all.

Sure it did. It's a creation story for the world in which Dark Souls takes place. You've got a cool, dark, homogenous world, that gets disrupted by the introduction of fire. We're introduced to a race who came from the "dark side," and the trailer ends.

My response:

 

[Shai-Tan]

please please please tell me the Maiden in Black's voice actress is back?

hopefully they don't all sound like the narrator or whatever that is. im not impressed with the voice work in the above clip but the writing isn't that good either so I don't know if I should judge based on that...

the cast for the voices in demon's souls was very good, not the usual voices who all sound the same

 

[soldat7]

I just had my wife watch this for me. Awesomeness confirmed.

 

[Ifrit]

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

In reality there will be barely any voice acting the actual game and very slight basic narration at occasional spots (beginning/end). Not sure why people care about the voice acting.
