Perfect lol
It's not like those two are the only "arts" in the game, I don't think they'll implement an all new combat system only for two "stances".
But the screenshots point otherwise

But the Dark Souls 2 numbers include 3 platforms along with the rerelease do they not? If so then Bloodborne did very well in comparison since it was exclusive to a single platform.

Link? The game has sold 2.5 million altogether and you are claiming 1.6 million from PC?
I'm talking about the design cues it takes.
Bloodborne doing 1 million on one console versus Dark Souls 2 doing 2.5 million on four consoles and the PC isn't a surprising disparity. But I don't see how, knowing of Bloodborne's success, the design would be allowed to move further away from the franchise core - it's not like Dark Souls 2 hit a note (critically, or commercially when you consider the context of their release) that Bloodborne didn't.
But perhaps you are right and the director would just have more clout to pull off his vision given that DS2 wasn't a failure.

Each Souls game has sold a million copies a piece on Steam alone and they're saying PC is negotiable...
WTF IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN? ARE YOU SHITTING ME?
From/Bamco make it so difficult sometimes to support them when they keep fucking with their customers.
How many of those million copies were sold for $5?
Well why not just say PC release date TBA instead?
That's more Dark Souls 1 than 2. Most people paid full price or maybe half off for Dark Souls 2. For good reason too.

Has anyone been able to confirm any of this?

Maybe if they want $60 sales they should release the fucking game as the same time as consoles?
It sold ~950k on PC (without Scholars).
The PS3 version in Japan alone was ~350k (which is about ~40% of the worldwide PC sales).
We also know that the game sold 1.2 million in its first month before the PC release on PS360. By looking at the NPD & UK sales to see how much it sold on 360 (~170k, & ~40k respectively), & since nobody cares about the 360 outside of those two regions, it's not likely that it sold that much more in EU, Asia, & rest of the world. So the PS3 version outside of Japan could be anywhere between 800k-900k. & that's without including the additional 350k shipments made in the next year on PS360.

This is not coming this year, right? It's little fatiguing for me after Bloodborne.I do hope the gameplay is like Bloodborne(fast action) while retaining the good things from Dark/Demon Souls, such as the ability with using magic.
Also, how did Miyazaki directed both at the same time? Something is not adding up right here!

Did anyone point out how
This
And
Both have those translucent swords? "Look at all the people who died here hahahaha you are fucked". Probably an online thing no?
Would be a cool replacement for bloodstains.

Obviously not. It's more about how much of an individual impact they'll have on the way you play the game. We don't know exactly how/how often you can use them. I'm guessing they'll either be on a cool down or cost health to use.
Because we don't know where this info comes from. It isn't like this how it is listed on their official website. This is from someone who leaked the game.
True, never mind. Man, some of those screens look incredibly bloodborne-y
Bloodborne also just released and this game has clearly been in development for a while.
Ah you edited it. Nevermind. This looks convincing though, although Omni taught me....need footage!

How in the fuck are From Software churning this out so quickly? My initial thought was quite obviously that the Dark Souls II team were working on the game but the Miyazaki rumour means that can't be right. Unless the DSII team were told to do some of the ground work and once Bloodborne production was finished, Miyazaki would then come to finish off the game.
That would make little to no sense though, so while I don't care about this game besides knowing Bloodborne 2 or Darkborne ain't gonna happen anytime soon, I'm just interested in the logistics side of things. For a 2016 game with Miyazaki having full involvement, the game won't have been in the oven for even 2 years and that would be assuming it's a December 2016 release.

Or they could say PC release coming after the console versions. That's all they gotta' say, no reason to be cryptic about it.

Unless they've added more content then I'm guessing this is for those who play non-PS4 games. I can see Miyazaki wanting to give his other fans something, but who knows. FROM Software could have a lot of ideas for this series and maybe they're focusing their entire studio on the Souls series. IMO You could do both diligently.
They could have okay'ed the DLC content well before the game even shipped too. That could mean Bloodborne 2 won't be out for sometime.
Who said he did? This game hasn't even been officially unveiled yet. They could have just started working on it and it might not be out til 2016 or 2017

Things I want Dark Souls 3 to have and remove if Miyazaki isn't involved.
No re-skinned enemies or reusing them in each area. The exploding mummies made no sense being in the gutter and dragon aerie. Nor should I fight a blue version of a boss I already fight nor should it pull the stunt of fighting bosses from the previous game.
Create new lore. Don't bring back the Warrior of Sunlight and instead create something almost as good. It's existence in Dark Souls 2 made no sense.
Make the levels have good level design. Don't make the player be blocked by a couple of rubble and have to defeat 4 bosses. The Ivory DLC was probably their best in terms of level design with the exception of the optional area.
Make the items useful. 90% of the consumables you get in Dark Souls 2 are useless.
Don't make the player character slow. This was one of the stupidest changes to make the game "harder" by having the animation be slow in Dark Souls 2.
Make a Dark Souls game. Don't try to combine mechanics from Demon's Souls norBloodborne. Dark Souls 2 failed at it.

They just started and it's releasing next year along with Bloodborne dlc? No, that doesn't sound unlikely at all.
Because people jump the gun on leaked information before they even truly understand what it all means.
lol really? Surprised people are worrying, it's gonna come. People need to stop freaking out over stuff like this especially when the game isn't even been officially announced.
