Besides that, though, apparently ACE:R is terrible. I went to its Japanese Amazon page and... so many one star ratings.

I was wondering why they (From/Bandai) would put him on their new successful franchise, but then I saw how ACE:R sold a shitload.

I was hopeful before, but now I'm pretty bummed.

Well, lets just hope the original guy is still involved. His uncomprommising vision is what made the "Souls" game.

If they deviate, it will lose that unique flavor that made it popular in the first place.

A new dynamic shooting mode called Chase Mode has been added to the game. This mode is similar to arcade shooters wherein the player's machine moves on rails and leaves the targeting weapons for the player to control.


New director : "I want to make Dark Souls more streamlined"

oh god
 
I'll stay optimistic for now about the director swap, until we see concrete proof he's dropping the ball and going in a shitty direction.

Anyone in here a wiz with avatar creation? I made my current one in a snap hurry so no one would take it, and so the quality of the image used and the cropping by me was well...ass.

Anyone able to take this and make a cleaner image of my current avatar?

Going by the PR... seems like they are rightfully acknowledging the DS identity... so guess we'll see if it's true or just talk.

At least it's the right talk. *shrugs*

And that CG trailer was pretty goddamned awesome.
 
Odd, the Japanese wiki lists Shibuya as the producer and Tanimura as the director..
 
Is this OK?

That's perfect! :D

Thanks for taking the time to help.

@Lost Fragment

Agreed. I want to make a fbook cover on the scene where he's on his knees shot up in arrows with a red sun in the sky. I used a somewhat blurry version akin to my previous avatar to do just that for now though. :P

I hope they start putting out concept art soon too. Love these games art design choices.
 
Three times, I think. The very first part, the arrows at the sunset, and then the dragon at the end.

Not enough!

To above-poster, yeah, I mean, they said all the right things....

I want a developer to say...ya know what...we are going to make this even more effing confusing than the last two games.

Nothing will be streamlined...
 
I'm starting to come to terms with calling Dark Souls my favorite game of all time. It's either that or Final Fantasy VI. Maybe there's enough room up there for both of them.

I have watched the Dark Souls 2 trailer an unhealthy number of times...probably 30 times so far. :(
 
Just re-watched the trailer again. I know its just the first one and it was made for the VGA's, but it really does have a different feel.

The hero...well...is actually a hero...he only dies once! It almost had a dudebro feel to it.

Do you even know what "dudebro" means?

It's that music...sooooooo good.

I think you have seen an healthy amount compared to some of us guys.
 
I just hope there's an actual, living dragon that size in the game.

You do that and you wind up with stupid like how the last boss fight was in Dragons Dogma...

The game was awesome up until that whole part. What the fuck were they thinking
 
You know what I fucking love? Exploring fantasy worlds with just a torch and feel very vulnerable - like in the trailer. I need that in DS2.
 
I'm really excited to see the world they create. Dark Souls was an amazing map. The way most of it linked up. Every shortcut made my jaw drop at how well put together the entire thing was.

YES! Remove that weird glow around character, add a torch to one hand but then how u gonna hold shield? hmm but it would be so cool to have total darkness in it...
 
Did you guys play Dragon's Dogma? That's got some cool nighttime exploration.

When higher levels yes. When lower levels basically thats asking to get ganked bad lol

Oh really? Never looked into that game for some reason.

I put about 100 hours into it with my first playthrough. Its not bad for a first attempt by capcom. I still really think that its a test bed for a new type of monster hunter, but they didnt want to sacrifice the brand by doing so with using the license on it. While not exact MH4 for example has actions where you can actually cling to the monster and deal damage to it which was something from dragons dogma. The whole single connected world for the most part too would be something that Im sure they would like to incorporate into a next gen MH. As the current gen they are still sticking with the same general segmented design for now.

EDIT: Has anyone called Dibs on the OT?

Extra edit: Checked and no one seems to have claimed it so I jumped in.
 
Something is off with the art direction here, doesn't read the way DeS and DaS opening cinematics did.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't made by From. I think they hired Digic to do this trailer. So the CG looks different. I don't think the art direction looks any different than Demon's Souls to Dark Souls.

Sorry, double post.

Don't hesitate to ask if you need any help on the visuals, banners, etc. Unless you already got that covered, of course.

edit: Ha, beaten :D
