Dark Souls and Demon's Souls Megathread VI. Katana Gank Squad Edition - Games

[QUOTE=Nidhogg;47887752]MY BONER CANNOT BE CONTAINED "PC release is negotiable" They'll really gonna' fuck up if they don't port it to PC.[/QUOTE] I really hope that if they don't a petition will change their mind.

Also the detail of the character carrying the secondary weapon on his back while not using, god it looks great.

Also, did anyone notice how in that one particular screenshot the player had a spell equipped in both the top and bottom slots? Soul Arrow in the top, Sunlight Blade on the bottom. Also SB had 99 casts lol

That first screenshot. Is the sun bleeding?

For those who just want to see the screenshots. [url]https://www.dropbox.com/sh/6t9cawwfr4d0sei/AAChqqXU3oisIwf2aRTzrwKda?dl=0&preview=Dark+Souls+3+EXCLUSIVE+LEAKS!+-+The+Know.mp4_snapshot_00.37_[/url] [editline]5th June 2015[/editline] I wonder what the story will be about this time. Do you think they'll push the timeline even further into the future or do you think they'll try to relate to Lordran or Drangleic somehow? Theoretically it would make sense for Aldia to make another appearance as he technically ascended past the mortal coil and now lives forever beyond cycle of the Darksign.

I want it to be further on. Lets be the badass that ends the cycle for good.

it sounds like they're adding/changing a lot of mechanics mmm e3 is gonna be so good

I like the pixellated man Dark souls 1 seemed like the perfect length for replayability, so it's good to hear it'll be that long Man it's exciting to know another game is on the way. What will the story be about though? Hopefully not that damn cycle again The graphics look nice already, very DS1. What the hell is up with that questionable PC release though, I can imagine a petition being started soon You'd better not make us beg From

Perhaps this is the Age of Dark if the First Flame was never rekindled?

So they're working on the Bloodborne Expansion [I]and[/I] Miyazaki is back for DSIII, true excitement to be had.

Dark Souls has always been about the curse of the Undead, it wouldn't be Dark Souls if it focused on something completely different.

[QUOTE=Jaehead;47887947]just like bloodborne the sun is in front of the clouds. i'll never unsee that.[/QUOTE] The Dark Souls universe is totally different than our universe. The world probably isn't a planet in space with other celestial bodies. It's more like all the lands we've seen so far encompass all that exists.

[QUOTE=Nidhogg;47887931]What else could the story be about? Dark Souls has always been about the curse of the Undead, it wouldn't be Dark Souls if it focused on something completely different.[/QUOTE] I'd like a twist. It was great when just Dark souls 1 existed and you finished the game and realised, after likely prolonging the age of fire like most first players, that there was a second, vastly different ending When dark souls 2 came about it was just more of the same. It felt diluted, lesser I want to break the cycle, or go back to the source, or evolve past the curse, or something novel Having said that, I would like to experience hope of a cure before it being dashed in true dark souls fashion, but in a new way

I hope they drop the whole cycle thing and just come up with an original plot rather than just redoing dark souls 1, I don't wanna see reincarnated lord souls or some shit like that

also that screenshot looks so fucking cool

I'm hoping that the game isn't locked at 30 fps like Bloodborne. DSfix and DaS2 spoiled me.

[QUOTE=Captain;47888029]I'm hoping that they can make the game isn't locked at 30 fps like Bloodborne. DSfix and DaS2 spoiled me.[/QUOTE] Well it wouldn't be locked to 30fps on PC, they know they can't do that again. As for consoles I wouldn't hold my breath.

[QUOTE=Jaehead;47887947]just like bloodborne the sun is in front of the clouds. i'll never unsee that.[/QUOTE] The sun's visible way off on the horizon - That's no sun, it's a weird glowy tower.

I'd like to think if he was urged to make a sequel then he'd do things pretty differently, which is what I hope is happening here Initiating the age of dark and bringing the world and all its suffering to an end would be a great finale to the series

Everlasting Dragons better make a comeback. And I really hope the dragon covenant makes a return.

[QUOTE=Nidhogg;47888120]Everlasting Dragons better make a comeback. And I really hope the dragon covenant makes a return.[/QUOTE] I'd prefer dragons stay mostly out of it and instead have the serpents make their triumphant return. If there was anything that annoyed me more about DaS2's constant references was the complete lack of serpents, the one thing in DaS1 people were actually expecting to be there.

I kind of hope that DS3 learns from what DS2 did right, though... Stuff like the name engraved ring, the way covenants were handled (being able to switch between them without penalty), being able to reallocate stats, etc.

By definition a covenant is a pact/contract/promise so obviously breaking one should have ramifications The penalties in DS1 did give some sense of loyalty to an alliance, rather than temporarily being part of some fleeting partnership

Fine, let's say I'd rather be able to use the spells and weapons I unlock through a covenant without needing to remain a member of said covenant.

"PC release is negotiable" sounds like they are planning for a PC release but don't know when it will be because they don't know how long the port will take. The release on Dark Souls 2 on PC was such a huge success that it makes no company sense to not release Dark Souls 3.
