Dark Souls 2 March 2014

Thanks GAF

Some guy reported seeing a huge billboard advertisement for DS II showing the release as March 2014. 

Some people think it's far away but personally I think it's a lot sooner than I was expecting

I can see that happening, and I hope so as well.

My body is ready. 

Demon's Souls II please

Oh goody it releases the month of my birthday.:P

Hmm I really should get around to finishing the first Dark Souls...haven't touched it in months.:P

There isn't an Xbox one or PS4 version? 

Damn... 2014? I cant wait that long :(

Demon's Souls II please

Any reason besides Sony owning the IP?

Day one and a weeks holiday booked for this.carlisledavid79

Hopefully the PC version wont suck this time

Demon's Souls II please

Only if it's a PS4 exclusive right? :roll:

Hopefully the PC version wont suck this time

1080p 60fps right out of the gate and day 1 release. It's already a win :P

Hopefully the PC version wont suck this time

PC is lead version. if the PC version sucks, all of them will suck.

Also, besides the broken online with GFWL, the PC version of Dark Souls is easily the best version with DSfix.

I've heard only the PS3 version has decent working multiplayer; the 360 version has broken MP, too.

Still playing more Dark Souls, and I still don't really want more Dark Souls. I want some changes or major additions. Just "more Dark Souls" would frankly be a little disappointing. jg4xchamp

I saw this mod, heard it's supposed to fix the connectivity issues and make on-line more straightforward:

That said, have no idea how well it works. Still haven't played Dark Souls, but will get to it eventually, probably during the summer if I eliminate the rest of my backlog first...

Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu why 2014? I don't want to wait another year.................................. This is the worst news of the decade. Now there's NOOOOOOOOOO excuses of not releasing DkS2 on ps4/cable box.

It only lets you connect with people on your friends list a lot easier; It doesn't fix anything besides that.

P2P was the worst idea ever for this game, although, P2P is one of the worst things for gaming in general.

well I own the game on xbox 360 and pc. first bought it on 360 then pc for additional content. The PC version for me has terrible framerate, laggy, slow..maybe I need to tweak a few things I dunno just bought it like a week ago on gamestop for $15. i was way disappointed.

I never had any problems summoning others on 360 version, don't know what you are talking about.

Ah, I see... however, I believe the sequel will have a much better on-line infrastructure, Dark Souls PC on-line was broken due to GFWL, and the developer chose GFWL because it's very similiar to XBL, so they could do a quick and cheap port.

Doubt they'll make the same mistake again, especially since they announced the PC is the lead platform for DS2.

They said if they did it for next gen it wouldn't be out until 2016, so they kept it current gen only so they could release it sooner.

That's a pretty good date. Won't interfere with holiday expenses, and will be right around that time where there usually isn't much to get (or sales to worry about).BrunoBRS

So PC version this time? :D

We should like totally fight each other

That would be perfect. Allows more time to have a good break from Dark Souls.

Why is it stupid? are people just gonna sell their PS3s as soon as they get a PS4. And by March I doubt the PS4 will even have anything worthwhile to play

That won't happen, I'm afraid... if your fellow cows showed more interest and bought the original Demon's Souls in greater number, maybe From Software would have a reason to keep up with the exclusivity... but since the game barely sold a million copies, they had to move onto greener pastures...

Exactly, it fails when it shouldn't. That's a broken MP, and it's exactly like that on PC.

What are these new games you speak of?

isnt it only coming to ps3, 360, and PC? that seems really late to be released

[QUOTE="Davekeeh"]

Demon's Souls II please

[QUOTE="meatgrinderz"]

[QUOTE="DragonfireXZ95"] Sounds like your PC is crap--the game runs easily on a 260 GTX which is an old ass card. Also, you're lying if you claim you never had any summoning problems on 360; I've seen it myself on streams of the game for 360.DragonfireXZ95

lostrib

It's ONLY coming to those platforms so far. They said it's not a next gen game at all

It's either current gen at 2014 or next gen at 2016
