[d0c_zaius]

[Mr_Appleby]

Oh my fuck, are you serious?

what is this feeling... in my stomach...

by the swelling of yoshi's thumbs, something dark souls this way comes

 

[Wanny]

I AM OUT OF WORDS

FUCK YES!

I had chills watching this trailer. Man what did this series do to me...

 

[Despera]

Anyone who's skeptical should check out the official website and stare at that dead knight for a couple of minutes.

 

[zkylon]

Forbidden? Press enter in the URL bar to [re]load the site, that's how all Famitsu links work for some reason.

Oh, you're right, thanks.

So let's go getting the signatures for the non GFWL version...

Clicking on "PC" puts me on the Games for Windows, that doesn't mean GFWL right? How does that work?

Yes, unfortunately that's what it means.

I don't see a GFWL logo on the official site!

The PC button links to xbox.com. GFWL confirmed!

wii u am cry

Spoiler

I'm not surprised.

 

[H_Prestige]

So guys let's discuss the trailer piece by piece:

-The main guy parries and ripostes the masked dude

- Dragon looks like a young kalameet

- the main dude drops in exhaustion/defeat towards a volcano area (perhaps the point in which the witches of izalith lose control of the first flame?)

- main dude has fur armor like Gwyn (maybe the 1st born son? MAYBE HE WAS KICKED OUT FOR FALLING IN LOVE WITH AN OUTSIDER?)

-

The dragon looks more like the undead dragon in painted world.

Hold me now?!

The PC button links to xbox.com. GFWL confirmed!

YOURE KILLING ME HERE

 

[Durante]

I think there's a very good chance that it will still be GFWL. Personally I don't care, I just hope they include some general improvements to their net code.

official site up

omg ;_;

I'm just letting the sound run in the background ;_;

 

[mr_toa]

Oh my fuck, are you serious?

what is this feeling... in my stomach...

That would be ... dread?

 

[Forkball]

PC Version confirmed?

New world setting? Volcano? Swinging pendalum? WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?

 

[Defuser]

I just read from somewhere that it goes back to using dedicated servers? MEGATON!

 

[metalslimer]

PC version excite and lol at Wii U, no dev kits weren't out there excuse for this.

 

[Mooreberg]

I should try to get back into Dark Souls sometime before this comes out. Never clicked with me the way Demons' Souls did.

 

[jsrv]

Please no GFWL

 

[NBtoaster]

Miyazaki gone? Say it ain't so.

He's supervising.

The PC button links to xbox.com. GFWL confirmed!

bleh

 

[I'm an expert]

I def had a feeling Miyazaki wouldn't be directing..

 

[Dresden]

Haha, love how the site has a hanging pendant. Time for more trolling.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I'm just so happy this got announced. Gonna be a great way to end the generation and then make me SALIVATE for next-gen Souls.

 

[Jake Tower]

Worth watching this year's VGA for.

 

[linko9]

Miyazaki gone? Say it ain't so.

Read the rest of the quote...

 

[Lucent]

YESSSSSS!!

Now I just would like the option to co-op. Just the option. Though we don't know any details on it yet. I'm wondering if they'll ever make it a little more open so there can be a real reason for three players going on a journey.

 

[Armada]

LOL, Wii U misses another big game.

No wii u lol....dat third party support

no Wii U port haha

PC version excite and lol at Wii U, no dev kits weren't out there excuse for this.

lololol

 

[Orayn]

Tried looking up Tomohiro Shibuya and I'm getting someone who has credits on Monster Hunter. I don't know if it's the same person, but I very much like this proposition.

 

[shadyspace]

christ why did I buy a wii u

 

[upandaway]

I just read from somewhere that it goes back to using dedicated servers? MEGATON!

Isn't that a bad thing because they can be shut down?

 

[dark_inferno]

New setting? Farewell dark grotesque setting... say hello to stereotype dragon setting

 

[EasyMode]

I just read from somewhere that it goes back to using dedicated servers? MEGATON!

Source? That would cancel-out my disappointment over GFWL.

 

[Parakeetman]

From Software Good!

CG Bad... regardless of what the meltdown crew said I just kept thinking skyrim in my head. Not a good thing, besides some small scenes that makes it appear to be part of the souls universe.

Truthfully Ill be cautiously optimistic about this one. As long as they dont screw up with the formula hopefully it will be good.

 

[ThaiGrocer]

The PC button links to xbox.com. GFWL confirmed!

God damn it. A sequel to corrupted saves. Gaben needs a special envoy sent to Japan.

 

[VertPin]

WHERE IS THE WIIU VERSION? Seriously I can play it on PC perfectly but I would LOVE to have this on MY WIIU. wow.
talk about 3rd party support -_-

 

[CountAntonius]

GFWL.....=(

 

[kinggroin]

Good thing WiiU owners own other great platforms right?!

Huh?

 

[Jinfash]

No Miyazaki no sale.

 

[Ghost_Protocol]

So how long do we think has this been in development? Before Artorias? Right after Dark Souls' original release?

 

[Totobeni]

wii u am cry

Spoiler

I'm not surprised.

really it will depend on Sony updating their PhyreEngine for Wii U more than From or Namco(who I think will want every possible platform to release this on).

 

[Conrad Link]

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

 

[Dresden]

I, uh, what.

What are you talking about? Read that PR, sounds like they're going even further down the dark-hole (if you know what I'm saying). INTESTINAL FORTITUDE. They ain't fucking around.

 

[FairXchange]

Bros, I think I might cry from the joy that is this announcement.

 

[we.are.the.armada]

I had the most fucking amazingly stupid awesome moment ever.

I was watching the reveal on my ipad. The res was bad, some tearing, etc. long story short, I thought that I was seeing a next gen game instead of a CG trailer. For that brief moment, I thought I was looking at next gen. Then he started fighting those guys and I thought, naaaaah it can't be. A moment of disappointment came over me. And then, Dark Souls 2! Yeah, that's video games, man

 

[KarmaCow]

The PC button links to xbox.com. GFWL confirmed!

It still annoys me that GFWL redirects to xbox.com

 

[TheExodu5]

I have watched the trailer nearly a dozen times already. Trailer of the decade.

 

[dark_inferno]

GFWL.....=(

If thats true they already lost like 50% of the pc buyers

 

[H_Prestige]

New setting? Farewell dark grotesque setting... say hello to stereotype dragon setting

Dark grotesque already ended with Demon's Souls.

I'm not super impressed with the settings shown, other than the forest area and underground sewer. But I'll wait until in game footage is shown, since I'm sure it will look way different.

I don't really think you want that. It would probably run at 5 FPS in the Blighttown equivalent
