Would have been cool if it could have been really pushed from a technical standpoint and been a next-gen launch title (don't have a decent PC), but whatever, I'm interested no matter what.

I was watching live and the moment this was shown I knew gaf would flip.
 
Its amazing how a game which Sony Japan once thought wouldn't sell anywhere outside of a niche gaming group in Japan is now multiplatform, global franchise.

FROM has everything to be proud of themselves. They fought the trends, with real gameplay design in this age of casual gaming, and kept to their belief. Best fucking devs around.

FS has always made these sorts of games, its just that more the general public caught on not the other way around.

Though am guessing thats what you were getting at.
 
From released a Souls games every two years. Following their history, this looks like it could aim for a Fall 2013 release.

Well, Demon's Souls was early 2009 in Japan, but development of Project Dark probably didn't start immediately after release, so it still fits a 2ish-year dev cycle I guess.

It states that it will carry over the concepts of the original, but will be an entirely new world and story. One of their goals this time around is to create a completely natural-feeling experience that makes the player feel as if they are in teh game world.

Finally, it says they plan to create dedicated servers for the game to improve the online experience!

You just made my night! Thanks.

So I wonder if there will be a delay between the FROM JP release and the US release again? Think I might grab the JP release this time, if only to stop myself from watching EpicNameBro and spoiling everything.

Looking at the history, there might very well be. Looking at the sales numbers and international success, they could go for a worldwide simultaneous release this time around.
 
There's the Artorias DLC to consider as well as the PC port pffft ahahahahah so even if they're adhering to a 2 year schedule, it would be delayed by a few months.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE THIS 1600x900?! :D
 
To anyone who imported, just how playable was the Japanese Demon's and Dark Souls games if you didn't understand a lick of Japanese?

I wouldn't recommend it. All of the text is Japanese, and there's a good amount of text when it comes to items and spells and stuff.

All of the voices are in English, though, so there's that.
 
I'm JUST catching up on this news. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW. I'm soooooo very happy. THANK YOU FROM Software and thank you Namco Bandai.
 
k fuck getting a new TV I am getting a gaming PC instead, because clearly that's what i need, lords of shadow 2 and Bioshock infinite... basically the games I like to play are awesome on PC so why should i spend 1000 dollars on a TV when i could get a 1000 dollar gaming PC?

ah, it would make no sense, Trebek!
 
I don't have a lot of time for gaming, I've pretty much only been playing Dark Souls since the day it came out and have logged 90 hours. About to enter NG+, so maybe by the time I beat that and the DLC, DSII will be here. :)

Dark Souls is pretty much just the best shit ever. It reminds me of every game. It's basically the best Metroid Zelda Castlevania GTA successor ever.
 
So instead of a maiden in black it's got a maiden in brunette.

Could also part of the witches of Izalith lineage...?

Women have always played a core part of the story in both souls games - can't wait to get me some o dat lore :D
 
It has happened people, guard your humanity, praise the sun.

Darkness is coming.

That trailer looked like it was exported to a 3rd party company, I wouldn't dig too deep into it for lore or clues.
 
-It is FUCKING WEIRD watching Jessica Alba announce a Souls game.
-The tone in the trailer is not quite right. I don't think that indicates much about how the game will turn out, but I wonder if it wasn't outsourced or something.
-Not as excited about this as I would expect to be, but still excited.
 
Well this is great news. I enjoyed Dark Souls:Durante Edition™, but I'm hoping that they release a more polished PC port next time. It must have sold a pretty decent amount on PC to get them to commit to a port right off the bat like this. With a combined consumer pool of new buyers like myself and the double dippers I bet they made a nice bit of profit. It's all good and I can't wait to play a new Dark Souls game.



Yikes! Looks like they upped the ante from those two archers in Anor Londo. :/
 
The press release makes me feel better, I trust From Software.

For now
