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

mmm cool teaser i hope they show gameplay later

[sp]Saw the Ivory and Iron Crown, so seems they're going to be the driving force behind the plot[/sp]

crossing fingers for gameplay in the bamco thing after EA conference also looks to be a sequel to DS2 since giants and the crown

Teaser got me pretty fucking hype. But now I'm confused, wasn't that one of the Old Crowns that figure picked up? And was that the Giant Lord? And that was totally Anor Londo at the beginning of the teaser. I HOPE SHIT GETS EXPLAINED SOON [editline]15th June 2015[/editline] For those that missed it.

That trailer both made me hype and unhype.

Also where are you guys seeing the Iron Crown? The only thing that's close is the Giant Lord's crown. Also anyone else notice that he only has one arm? [editline]15th June 2015[/editline] Also i'll be so shitty if it's Xbone exclusive.

Look at all these merchants. I'm now interested since it's going to be a big mix of ds1 and 2.

[QUOTE=DeVotchKa;47967759]That trailer both made me hype and unhype.[/QUOTE] I wanted a whole new world tbh rather than just a retread of 2's lore.

[img]http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20141003114737/darksouls/images/4/4d/CotIK_boxart.jpg[/img] Which makes me wonder....do you think that was Alsanna that picked up the crown and put it on? Perhaps as a way of saying she's surpassing her king as the new ruler of Eleum Loyce?

[QUOTE=PotatoArmada;47967970]Why are people thinking it's xbone exclusive?[/QUOTE] Because of the big ol' XBOX sign right under the screen at the end of the trailer when it flashes back to the crowd. [QUOTE=Nidhogg;47968028]That was actually the Ivory Crown. [img]http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20141003114737/darksouls/images/4/4d/CotIK_boxart.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] The Ivory Crown looks more like the one the girl was putting on about half way through the teaser.

Also, it's an interesting theory because we don't really know what the Crowns would do to one of them.

Nah, someone mentioned seeing the Iron Crown and the only thing that looks close is what the Giant Lord is wearing.

I didn't see the Iron Crown anywhere. Doesn't look anything like the Giant Lord's crown, if that's what people are mistaking it for. [img]http://i.imgur.com/KWtlxfX.png[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/PZrPl5B.png[/img]

i thought it was vendrick's crown at first

Actually...I'm starting to wonder if that's even the Giant Lord at all. The armor is completely different. In fact it looks like the Forlorn armor, but damaged and ragged.

[QUOTE=DeVotchKa;47968060]Because of the big ol' XBOX sign right under the screen at the end of the trailer when it flashes back to the crowd.[/QUOTE] That's because it was shown in the Microsoft conference. It's not going to be exclusive, they would have said that multiple times in the conference if that was the case. Common sense.

Better quality trailer. [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5lklWVcl1Y[/media] [editline]15th June 2015[/editline] And I highly doubt it's Xbone exclusive. Business-wise, it wouldn't make sense to take a popular multi-platform game franchise and suddenly make it a console exclusive, effectively shutting out a big chunk of fans who would be interested in the game.

of course the next game revolves around the dlc again Guy looks like giant lord because of hole in his face, but it the rest of the head looks like its made out of cloth so its probably just a hood like artorias with maybe the iron crown attached. still not sure why walking away from the kiln was any different in ds2 than ds1

If it actually is the Giant Lord and his design is just changed because Miyazaki came back as director and said, "these giant designs don't feel ominous or brooding enough, re-do it from scratch". Because honestly half the enemy designs in DS2 felt pretty bland compared to the deliciously creative enemy designs of DS1 and Bloodborne. [editline]15th June 2015[/editline] PC version confirmed.

Best better quality. :v: [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OtAVElUljE[/media] This one's straight from Bandai Namco

I thought that area the giant comes from was the tombs in firelink shrine when i first saw it.

Oh god that totally is Firelink Shrine, THANK YOU high quality video. :v: And that belltower in the distance is totally the Undead Church, all mangled and deteriorated. Okay, maybe I shouldn't jump to conclusions so quickly, but gosh I'm so hyped.

yeah it looks like just a regular chainmail coif with shadows hiding the face
