Dark Souls II 12 Minute Gameplay Premiere Discussion (Gameplay Video is Up)

[QUOTE="silversix_"]yeah, if this isn't next gen wtf? why would you release a game that keeps people playing for year(s) on a dying console knowing next gen isn't BC and comes this fall? from software needs to wake up...the_bi99man

They're making a PC version right off the bat. Good enough.

PS4 version pls

Sequel to my 2ond best game of all time

I think i am interested :)

PS4 version pls

Obviously_Right

I wish they make that happen, with super graphics and smooth frame rates

Maybe a re-release of Demons and Dark Souls as well

I am rather excited for this :D

[QUOTE="ShadowDeathX"]Huge Demon's and Dark Souls fan here. I'm expecting to be disappointed tomorrow. :) I expect mostly everyone here to be disappointed. Not hyping.Crazyguy105

Of course. After seeing that Dark Souls was easier than Demon's Souls, they're only going to casualize it for a larger audience even further.

Dark Souls fans will eat it right up though. Such a shame.

The 12 minute Gameplay video will reveal a number of new mechanics, dungeons, creatures, scenarios and combat. There's also going to be a Q&A session which will feature Director Yui Tanimura and Nanmco Bandai producer, Tak Miyazoue...to talk about Dark Souls 2.

As soon as the Q&A video is made avaialble, I will post it up in the OP for you guys to see.

So far the only 1 screen has been officially released by IGN themselves, the other you see in the OP is sort of...um... a place holder until the others legitimately arrive later today (if they're made available today). Sorry for the unlegit cofusion tho :P

Prepare your anuses. Seriously, that's not a joke this time

>Anus is ready

>Them Shaved balls are ready

2 more hours to go.

Gaf being Gaf :P

More dozens of Screenshots have leaked

Floppy_Jim

Haha :lol::P

Floppy upping the ante with revengance, thanks mate I'll post these up right away :P

Aww sweet, they kept the elite knight set. I was worried that gawdy spartan helmet armor from the first trailer was going to replace it.

never asked for hermits to reply to my post, they just fall for it and no where in my post i mentioned a pc version, hermits just love to show of.TheGuardian03

You mentioned hope for a 1080p PS4 version, Yet stating the obvious is not allowed? Console players seem to be craving 1080p and higher than 30 fps around here lately, they're trying to change their stripes. Again pointing out the PC has been doing that for a while even with DS1 is just stating the obvious more than anything else

Updated OP. 36 minutes until the Gameplay Premiere, stay tuned :arrow:

3 Hours, 20 Minutes, 21 Seconds until the Gameplay Reveal

Almost there :P

:lol: You losers use a shield in Dark Souls? :P Best way to play is to tank through bosses while two handing a weapon preferably with a BKS +5 or BKGA +5.

Pshhh I've got enough strength to one hand em all day with my build =P

Guys, this is the IGN page where the video will be up shortly.

As soon as there's a Youtube link, I'll post it up in the OP.

Sh!t's about to get real. Can't fvcking wait to see it in motion. People said before it looks astonisghingly close to the CG trailer shown, a bit dumb I know but it means it looks really good

[QUOTE="seanmcloughlin"]

Precisely. People b!tch and moan that Hermits always boast about performance and resolution and the graphical differences but that's only cos we can and have clear evidence that it's better. If the PS3 or 360 had any sort of real advantage over each other they would do the exact same thing.

seanmcloughlin

Prime example is the Killzone: Shadow Fall vs. Crysis 3 thread. Cows finally get some ammo with a good looking game, and they immediately go after PC games and claim it looks better. They call it elitism, but its really just the truth and they don't want to accept it.

Basically nailed it. It makes me wish I saved some of the posts through the years here lol just to show them the shift in their attitudes

Eh I'm calling BS on that, both sides were rediculous.

I can recall right after that trailer was shown hermits using Youtube artifacted video's to Go LastGen/NextGen. It lasted for a couple of days.

That was goddamn annoying, and I say that as a PC gamer. it just showed a massive ammount of ignorance.

So, why did a thread about something as awesome as Dark Souls II turn into an usual SW pissing match? :evil:

I blame BPoole.

Will this be a last gen console release? :( 

I at least hope the inevitable PC version will have superior visuals (again assuming it's a last gen release)

Almost there.

looked good.

Looks good, nothing too crazy in terms of changes (from what we have seen) but thats probably a good thing. 

Visuals are definitely improved, if that is being played on a ps3/360 its really impressive. 

with_teeth26

Definitely PS3 footage

EDIT: oh wait, 360 controller :?

Anyway it looked a little too rough for PC, unless fromsoft still learned nothing

Alright I have some problems already, I think we are playing a fixed character.

Just from the trailer, that guys wearing the same outfit, and everything.

IDK. It looked decent and the dragon manor was cool but I'm a bit nervous about it. It seemed whenever he died it was because he set himself up for failure.

There's simply too little to go on at the moment.

BrunoBRS

he I disagree this looked to easy compared to DK starting area, but then again this is probably a pumped up character.

I really hope it's coincidence with the same Knight set. But I'm not so sure.

[QUOTE="Chrome-"]meh i don't know. was considering picking up this series. but that video made the game out to look impossible to complete. ReadingRainbow4

Lol, how? It looked really easy.

Everything was telegraphed, The bridge was the only thing that looked like your going to die no matter what and they said there will be a way to get past that area.

Plus that part with the two heavy enemies in the beginning was entirely the player's fault. I don't usually say this but he was really sucking (possibly on purpose).

[QUOTE="ReadingRainbow4"]

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"] it's just like the knight's set was the "official" armor set for the first two games. it's just what they run demos with so people have a familiar face of sorts. and that's exactly how dark souls is lol. you only die if you set yourself for failure. if you're careful enough, you'll barely ever die. maybe he felt a bit too resilient (and WTF was he using to block at the part with the torch that would let him absorb the whole damage), but i'm willing to give them the benefit of doubt and assume that it's because they're just playing a strong character for the sake of the demo.BrunoBRS

Yeah, it looks pretty good but I'm just cautious.

Last thing I want to do is get hyped and see that the game is nothing like I thought. I'm distrustful of developers naturally, hopefully From doesn't sell out.

yeah that and the silver chariot, he should of dodge rolled to the side, it just appeared like a forced way of saying "We are still hard guys, look you can even still die."

the one shot axe from the troll dude kind of gave me some hope.

I want wizard spells to be reworked. darksouls went a long way from Demonsouls in the fact that you can't cheapen the game as easily with soul arrow.

But I still like effective magic.

But then again pyromancers were freaking rediculous in Dark Souls, lol.

Prepare your anuses. Seriously, that's not a joke this time
