Dark Souls II "Curse" Trailer

The opening CG looks so awesome.... then it switches to the actual game and it looks... I don't know... somewhat downgraded compared to Demon's Souls / Dark Souls?
 
*serious question*

So whats new in Dark Souls 2? Any gameplay changes, bigger world, etc?

Or is it more of the same?

Around 2:06, it sounds like someone says
"We need the Abyss"
.
Also,
I assume that's the Abyss at the end
? Whatever it was it looked sick.

HYPE RISING.

I actually thought it looked pretty good. I don't really know what people are expecting from a PS3/360 these days.

Same. It looked similar to DS1, and better in some areas.
 
No Quelaag, no M.

Dark Souls only got a "partial nudity" because of Quelaag. Which is the same descriptor DkS2 has.

T rating is a little weird, but I agree with what someone said that the series is rather "M"-lite for the most part.

Anyway, awesome trailer. Also the graphics are fine...they're better than the last two games which is good enough for me.
 
Boy you guys are really hanging into the T rating aren't you. It's explained multiple times that the M rating was from partial nudity of queelag and gang.

Nothing to see here.

ESRB also lists the crow demon's butts. Maybe there's crow-demon-butt-type nudity but no bare breasts, which would be seen more unfavourably.
 
I dont think T or M will change the game that much, just a lack of naked spider ladies and bouncing boobies.

In other words I currently feel like a high school girl that just been ask to HC or prom by the captain of the football team :P

edit: just wondering now how is it teen if it has " Blood and Gore, Mild Language, Partial Nudity, Violence"
sounds like a M rate game to me, but whatever..
 
With all of Durante's magic, I wouldn't be surprised if Dark Souls II doesn't measure up to Dark Souls: PTDE, graphically.

Not to sound like a Debbie Downer but all pcs we have point to a downgrade. Hope it's for the sake of framerate though, won't like another BLightwon, not even on 360.
Requoting myself
It looks worse than DS1 on 360 (which was already Fugly, shame because its artistic direction is top notch)

Going by the beta it's definitely better looking, and sharper.

Not a huge improvement but it's not worse looking.

I gotta disagree. The beta looked horrid in comparison to Dark Souls. It's definitely the art direction more than the technical reasons.
 
Let's just hope they sort out the framerate for release, no one wants a repeat of Blight Town

The parts in the trailer with obvious graphical drops are probably from an older build of the game
 
Into my fucking veins...This cant come soon enough! Please dont delay FROM.
Delay all you want if needed. I want a great game.

Dragelink Dragelic? I utterly cannot wait to be dissecting the lore in this game and seeing how it fits with DKS1.

Guys pause the trailer at 2:03 and you will see the most interesting part of the trailer:

Double-bladed weapons, hell yeah!
 
Stuff is just erupting out of every area of my body.

I would hope it's pretty much more of the same without any major changes to the gameplay structure, that'd be 10/10 goty.

Well I certainly don't think the art is "horrid" (seriously?) so I don't agree with you there. Not to mention the area in the beta isn't the best place to gauge art direction. It was a dark forest.
 
My God. Can't believe the release is so painfully close. Wow. Looks like GoTY 2014 will be wrapped up super early, at least for me.
 
I thought the parts that looked "CG" were live action? are they not?

Haha, I thought the same thing until about half-way through watching the VGA reveal trailer last year. Crazy.

Blur did that VGA reveal trailer, but I don't think they've done anything for Fromsoft before that. Fromsoftware normally do their own cg movies.

That's right. From's in-house CG team did the pre-rendered stuff in this one.

So excite. Cannot wait.
