This has been my problem with boss designs in the series since Dark Souls 1 and why only the best of the best bosses in Dark Souls and beyond are the only ones I enjoy. The rest are nearly mindless and borderline boring.

Why does it look so......bad?
All 4 of them are from the DLC so that may be why.

I'm still "meh, on DS3 compared to Bloodborne, but fuck this was a good trailer. Got me hyped with some weird bosses, even if they are all humanoid bosses. Atleast they're kinda weird looking humanoid bosses.

Oh ok. I thought it would be a cool idea if there were rare bonfire items, that you could use to create your own at a place of your choosing. But I stress 'rare'
And that's why they sucked. Hate gimmick/puzzle bosses.
I did enjoy Nicolas Cage though.

Love that backstab animation. It's always so robotic looking in previous souls games.
That thing looks like a creepier version of that white reindeer looking boss from Bloodborne. Amelia I think was the name of it.

I had the same feeling but then watched it for the 2nd time in 1080p...there is a link in here. I cant wait, the game looks so good, I just want to play it.
Im more hyped for this than MGSV

Yeah the problem aren't the humanoid bosses the problem with ds2's bosses is the lack off variety, all the fights with humanoid bosses were very samey they followed almost the same pattern and it doesn't help that sometimes their design was so bland with some exeptions like alonne and fume.
Humanoid enemies in souls are some of my favorit fights if done right like artorias ornstein and smough , false king, father G, the last boss oficial bloodborne (avoiding spoilers for people to people that are yet to experience it)

Holy smoke! Now thats some non generic human bosses! Day one for sure! On a more critical view, they need to change the game engine in theor future games. It sure look great, but its not graphicly next gen yet, thinking the same way for Bloodborne.But its a day one, well in fact its my only day one purchase this year 
. Wont mind to pay 79,99$ CND for that!

Yep never played the DLC. I figure when it goes on a big sale for PC I'll grab it. The bosses in the base game were pretty forgettable.

Looks great. Getting it day 1 on PC...whenever that may be!
Also I feel like I see the words "franchise fatigue" almost 20 times every souls thread I click and it still hasn't stopped being the dumbest phrase I've ever heard lol.
I see that we're doing the usual old Dark Souls 2 pissing contest. Much like the plot of these games, the cycle will never end. There are those great souls who proclaim franchise fatigue, tired of the cycle of fighting, but in the end they only become undead monstrosities.

IS it me or the Microsoft trailer says 2016, and the one in Japanese on FROM youtube channel says early 2016 ?
yea the one on the sony channel also says early 2016
I guess they thought that an ~18000 year pause will help alleviate "franchise fatigue" concerns.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Where are all these other great Bloodborne type games I want dark Fantasy fatigue too.
Can't wait for the downgraded lighting.( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°) ° ͜ʖ ͡ -
I think I'll wait for the GotY edition. I learned my lesson with Dark Souls 2. They'll probably release a DX11 version first and then a year later release a Windows 10/DX12 focused version to try to get people to double-up.
Well, to Namco I say: No, fuck you. I'll wait.

Early 2016 in the Japanese trailer you mean? I hope it'll release sometime around March-April.
also by then we will be pure energy that exists beyond time and space
or extinct
so it's a safe bet they might be able to get away with another downgradeathon
Only just noticed that creepy little thing in the prison cell, jeez. Reminds me of Man Centipedes from Demon's.

Dark Souls 2's issue with humanoid bosses were twofold:
1) They were big dudes (and one dudette) with blades of some sort.
2) You could camp underneath their arms and kill them.
I'm of the opinion that Bloodborne had the best assortment of bosses in the Souls series. Great variety made from cherrypicking the best workable aspects of the past Souls games while having new kinds of fights (Witch of Hemwick). Also, Bloodborne's fights felt more like outright brawls with beasts for the most part, which fits thematically with the game.
Also, despite Bloodborne having two 'human' fights (they're people...except one who goes apeshit when he's half dead), they weren't giant dudes who were slow. They're hunters like you and they more or less feel like mirror fights. But not in the same degree as fighting a regular NPC in that these specific boss fights have certain deadly patterns you need to figure out.
Bosses that are humanoid like the Witch of Hemwick, Shadow of Yharnam, and
have enough variety in their fights that places them above giant dudes with giant weapons that swing at you.

It scared the crap out of me. Can't wait for the full game.

I estimate the chances of this happening to be 0.00%. They had incentive to do something like that because they could port it to current gen consoles. The next generation of consoles will be years away and it seems unlikely they would only do it for the PC version.

the comedy stuff is actally really good, but every time they go serious it's awful
