Ah man. I was really hoping for a Demon Souls 2.
Video's been removed. Damn it :(
This is nothing new, it's pretty much known that From Software is developing a new Souls game. Although official news are always great. Also why has the trailer been taken down?
[QUOTE=cdr248;38746981]Ah man. I was really hoping for a Demon Souls 2.[/QUOTE] *Snip* Pretty sure I was just thinking of a specific developer who worked on the first but not on Dark Souls.
[QUOTE=etrius0023;38747089]Too bad that the original Souls game developers aren't making a Demon Souls 2[/QUOTE] Demon Souls was developed by the same guys who did Dark Souls, although Sony has the rights for the game or something. Thus making a sequel impossible.
I hope they took the trailer down because they're changing the name
Dark/Demon Souls is probably one of the only jrpgs I have played with an art style I don't want to beat to death with a belt.
EDIT: view trailer here [url]http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xvp2fo_dark-souls-2-debut-trailer-vga-2012_videogames#.UMK80-Rtl8E[/url]
Praise the Sun!
[QUOTE=BLOODGA$M;38747265]I hope they took the trailer down because they're changing the name[/QUOTE] They could call it Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen's Time Trouble and I'd still clock in ten thousand hours.
That looks ridiculously amazing.
Dark Souls 2? THAT MEANS EVEN JOLLIER COOPERATION [IMG]http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/290/c/2/praise_the_sun_by_isvoc-d4d3r9x.png[/IMG] This news is real fuckin'... [img_thumb]http://www.floridageekscene.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/19913_dark_souls.jpg[/img_thumb]
Man, if I had money I'd buy the first one but I've been unemployed for ~3-ish months. How much of you played demons souls before dark souls? Was it entirely necessary to understand the story?

Love Dark Souls even though I haven't fully finished it yet, I've put like 70 hours in and it's definitely one of my favorite games of all time, certainly welcome this sequel, I hope it comes to PC faster though if it does at all.
The reason they are calling it Dark Souls II instead of ______ Souls, is because they are setting it in the same universe. They actually want to continue some lore :3
Kalameet/Guyra around the 1:40 mark. So the dragons are coming back somehow? And who's the lady watching over Anor Londo who gives the knight that feather? Velka? Those mask dudes are interesting too, I imagine they're either assassins hired to kill this new chosen undead or they're the mooks of whoever is pulling the strings and trying to fuck things up. Anyways, calling it now, Kaathe was right and lengthening the age of fire by immolating yourself was the worst thing to do, and the world's fucked anyways. Edit: Now that I think about it they could be part of the Lord's Blades, which would make them Ciaran's men.
The music for that trailer is pretty awesome.
Well well well... My college teacher will be ecstatic.

[QUOTE=lockdown6;38748657]oh my goood there's a PC logo on the site, hopefully windows release will come at the same time as consoles[/QUOTE] It is. Hopefully the port's good this time because it's not getting rushed.
[QUOTE=lockdown6;38748657]oh my goood there's a PC logo on the site, hopefully windows release will come at the same time as consoles[/QUOTE] Hopefully It won't have window live. Steam would be better off.
FUUUUUCK YES.
PC version on release please. Can't say I'm not kinda worried it might get dumbed down. VGAs, actiony trailer and the whole "broader audience" thing.
