"You owe me about tree fiddy"
Literally impossible since it's even faster than Dark Souls 1.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Dragon God is another great example of what I mean. And yeah, just that video gamey element of bosses with invulnerabilities until weakpoints are exploited, or round about ways to defeat them. Dark Souls 2 had very, very few of these fights.
Nah, not to highlight the aliasing (even though it's not great). Legit think the game looks gorgeous.

That was a great trailer. I'm definitely excited for Soulborne now.
I still need to play Dark Souls II, though.

Looks more of the same, which I welcome with open arms. I'm guessing a March release date but anytime earlier (such as Bloodborne's original February release) and I would be ecstatic.
It takes too long getting in and not enough gameplay for my taste.
I liked Dragon God. Yeah, he's a gimmick boss, and hardly a boss at all, really. But MAN, looking down that hall of pillars after Flamelurker and seeing Dragon God's sneering mug framed perfectly at the end is a sight I'll never forget. By that point I was so immersed in the grounded feeling of Souls that the suspension of disbelief was complete and that was a real goddamn dragon I was staring down, lol.
Thanks for these!!Nah, not to highlight the aliasing (even though it's not great). Legit think the game looks gorgeous.

For a debut gameplay reveal trailer they've shown plenty of gameplay footage IMO. Hyped.

those screens from PC version?
Yup. Demon's Souls is by far the fastest Souls game (except Bloodborne of course).
Dark Souls 3 gameplay looks pretty much like Demon's. The roll is almost identical! It has that feel of ''lightness'' in the animations/movement that Demon's Souls had. I'm really digging it.
It is even better that the game art direction is very Bloodbornish, which is by far the best aspect of Bloodborne IMO! I love this gothic atmosphere!

My thoughts initially.
Bloodborne really hit the ball out of the park aesthetically. Good thing gameplay will still be king.

It's just you.
The art direction is debatable but I don't see how this looks worse than Bloodborne on a technical level.
I still think it looks good. I'm saving them to a smartphone so they'll look even better. Thanks Eats!I tried, but since he's moving in every shot there's a ton of motion blur.

FInally it seems they fixed the clunky combat that plagued the soul series. Faster paced too!! Hype Increased.
Though after the Dark Souls 2 fiasco with the graphics, not going to get too excited about the game visually yet.

Just you. Even looks to be using the same engine.

Optimized for two consoles, and PCs, instead of just one.
Actually, that was the first thing that came in my mind when I saw the trailer. I still think it looks worse even after watching the Gamersyde video. Don't get me wrong, it is still beautiful, especially the enemy designs. But it is kind of underwhelming after Bloodborne.
Not much worse but it will suffer because it's designed for 3 platforms.

I don't think it looks worse. Looks about exactly the same. Obviously the same engine, and the same emphasis on parallax mapping/tessellation for geometry detail on surfaces, and low resolution surface textures hidden behind nice shaders.
Otherwise the actual models, art, details all look fucking incredible to me. That free flowing translucent ethereal blue fabric flowing from the gangly boss amidst the orange glow of hot fires around the battle looks incredible.

I'm still playing Bloodborne every day and this still looks impressive to me. I'm not seeing the downgrade.
From's love of alliteration and soft consonants will compel them to name the black dragon "Dissolving Dragon," just you wait and see.
And man, I love the Mindflayer/Bell Maiden mashup. To make it even scarier, they gave her the face of an Iron Maiden and a firebrand as a weapon. Goddamn.

Same. This looks every bit as beautiful and inspired as Bloodborne.
I think the fabric might actually be a wispy vapor, like smoke from an incense burner or candle, and at times it solidifies to have the appearance of fabric.
Whatever it is, it looks cool! I very much want to beat the shit out of these beautiful bosses!!
Nah. Demon's Souls was a PS3 exclusive and Dark Souls was a multiplat that came later. Dark Souls looked better than Demon's Souls. This will be fine.

As a newcomer to the series with Bloodborne, I'm encouraged to see that playing the 'Bloodborne way' seems to be an option here. Maybe it's because I haven't tried it myself, but the slower action (correct me if it's not actually slower) of Dark Souls doesn't seem to appeal to me as much as Bloodborne's does.
You can play the BB way in every souls game( i think, haven't tried with DaS 2) That's how i played Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 1. "Expert" players even had high armor and fast rolling thanks to min maxing.

It looks no worse technically. Art direction in Bloodborne still wins but we've barely seen enough of Dark Souls 3 to really make a proper comparison.
You could play previous Souls games like Bloodborne. Main difference is the lack of health regain when hitting enemies who just hit you. You're a bit more nimble in Bloodborne, but you're still perfectly agile in Souls (especially in DS3, from the looks of it). What's nice about Souls is there are even more ways to play. I'm personally looking forward to a mixed magic build with a bit of swordplay.
