Dark Souls II Has a New Teaser Trailer

Ugh. Game Trailers.

First comment "HUR DUR PC R PIRATES 100 TIMES!"

God damn console barbarians.

Praise the sun! \[T]/

Demon Souls was the better game, and the better name, this title is all wrong.

Pant wettingly exited about Dark Souls II :D

The first game was one of my all time favourites and that looks Epic.

The whole concept of this one guy with the Boba Fett helmet being everywhere kinda scares me, but maybe it's like in Skyrim where that's the model of the character the player will be playing and not strictly an actual character.

@dixego: THat's a pretty safe assumption lol

it was not a priority for dark souls and demon's still has not seen the glimpse of light known as PC at the end of the tunnel. I dont think it will change this time around. One can hope, but sadly I dont see FromSoftware changing their tactics as it has worked great so far. At least this time, maybe pc wont wait as long to come out?!? Either way Ill probably buy it on both ps3 and pc again as I love the series that much.

It's wierd, it's almost as if THEY the developers were pulling it back in a Demon's-like direction with what was said recently (more node-based), whereas before, it either from bad translating or bullshit PR/reporting, it sounded like dumbing down. Scared the shit out of me, where there should be no reason to.

Now the only ones to be scared are the dullard crybabies who demanded that that should happen out of bad attitude and schadenfruede! Their bitching and moaning will fall on deaf ears once more!

ALL PRAISE FROMSOFT, KINGS OF GAME DESIGN AND DARK FANTASY!

Game Informer oversold the in-game graphics, it looks current generation but it looks good.

So unbelievably pumped for it, especially with it being lead on the PC. I actually bought Dark Souls twice (PS3 and then the PC version) just because it is that good of a game. I've spent easily 300-400 hours in the game between PS3+PC.

Also for those worried that they are "Dumbing down" the game, apparently the making it more accessible quote was the developer saying they need to make the controls more obvious or something at the start, or to make it more obvious to players why such a difficult game is so good.

That and the IGN playthrough looks like dark souls.

Trailer is very misleading - there's not enough dudes dying.

I was hyped since the trailer reveal several months ago and the hype can only go up from here (as long as they don't mess things up) so everyone get on the Hype Train!

Well the director said the Dark Souls PC port was bad and that they will do it better this time around.

\o/

Praise the Sun

You tease?

Haha wow this game looks real easy

i keep wondering why dark souls would willingly go into areas with such horrific things like that. it's like he has a unquenchable desire to die or something.

: Demon's souls is still well worth playing even if the servers are gone.

You won't get the world tendency stuff from other players and no invasions but the game is still fantastic without those parts.

Dark Souls was the only reason Skyrim or Saints Row wasn't my 2011 GOTY, so I'm excited.

At the same time I hope Miyazaki is working on another Souls game or something similar in the meantime.

Part of the fun of the Souls game is discovering all the secrets, so I hope this game has the same sense of adventure, especially if the online play improvements are true.

Demon's Souls servers came back on a little while ago. Hell, just a few hours ago I was playing online with all the spirits and messages everywhere :)

I am looking forward to this so much. I 100% Dark Souls and working through Demon's Souls now. I'm really interested to see what they do with the story too.

Dual wielding confirmed.

The PC version is what they have been showing, which they claim will ultimately be set to a solid 60fps while the console versions will aim for 30 with no slowdown...we'll see.

Also they haven't been talking up the PC version more than to say that it is the lead platform this time around, and that they've attempted to up the graphical fidelity of the game. Seeing as how they've said the game is not being developed for the next generation systems I figure it will end up looking like a current gen game which will run better on PC with maybe another bell or whistle or two.

While it is a tad disappointing that they didn't take the full step into the next generation I think it looks nice from what I've seen (certainly an improvement over the first), and if the game keeps selling I'm sure we'll get there eventually.

I think this series was sort of a wonderful accident. Nobody but From Software seemed to know that people wanted trial and error, pattern memorization action games to come back. Then, they also nailed this unheard of post-apocalyptic / medieval setting where, for once, it actually made sense that everyone in the area you're exploring is murderous and insane. That makes each encounter much more compelling than the usual 'it's a video game, so you do video game things' attitude. It felt real and threatening.

The story perfectly sets up the gameplay, and vice versa. It's also a rare case of a medium sized developer doing well this generation. Basically them, Telltale, and Firaxis are the entire club.

This trailer seems pretty sweet; I love the tunnel sections already. I hope that close to release, they can pull off something as as good as the all saints day trailer for the first Dark Souls, the one that showed off Quelaag and Seath. That was pretty much the tipping point for me, realizing their boss design was still totally nuts.

There is a gameplay video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMU5DBsrpe4 which is merely okay. Reassuring, I'll call it.

from the 12 minute video on IGN. I think it looks a bit janky.

Prepare to die - Some more :D

This would've spoiled that dragon area for me. I glad I avoided all the content pre release.
