So excuse my ignorance, but people actually gave a shit about the story in Dark Souls/Demon's Souls?

I honestly don't even remember what it was about. Gameplay is obviously the key factor here, but I'm honestly shocked so many people are interested in the narrative.

The nice thing about the Souls games is that FromSoft doesn't throw the story in your face, they expect you to piece the narrative together if you want.

You can also just ignore anything about the story and just focus on the gameplay and it doesn't make it any less of an experience. I didn't have much a clue to the story when I first played Dark Souls and I imagine a lot people probably didn't start to pay attention to the narrative until their next playthroughs either.

Graphics in the PS3 Beta Demo looked pretty good to me - slight improvement over the first one, and tbh this game is about scale and atmosphere. I hope the sequel retains these elements from the original and the game breaking 'impossible' boss fights like Smough & Ornstein are removed.
 
The network test left me somewhat underwhelmed, but how couldn't I be hyped for the sequel to my game of the generation.

From Soft is throwing a lot of crow related imagery in all of their trailers. I think it's pretty safe to assume that the goddess of sin is going to make an appearance in one way or the other.

The graphics look utterly terrible but good lord the artstyle is so good.

Ultimate hype trailer.

TIL I can acheive the 'impossible'.

But seriously, why would they remove what turned out to be one of the game's biggest highlights?
 
There seems to be a few graphical downgrades albeit very minor ones. If this means a more smoother experience I am all for it. The graphical might of the Souls games lies more in the design and artwork than its technical prowess.
 
I have no idea why people expected BETTER graphics on consoles than DS1 when they've said that they're going to aim for constant 30fps. DS1 on consoles had a horrible frame rate and they obviously had to make some downgrades to get DS2 running at a playable frame rate.

I'm sure the PC version will look better though. They have no reason to limit things there (if they know what they're doing).

Another thing I don't get is the criticism towards the art-direction. I see nothing wrong with it. Can someone explain?
 
Liked the trailer, but someone said that the designs look underwhelming compared to DkS 1 and I tend to agree... Some of the designs looked great, others subpar.
 
The early footage looked far better, especially the lighting. What happened?

Does anyone know if the PC version will have other improvements from the console versions, apart from the resolution and frame rate?
 
Holy fucking shit

Absolutely. FromSoft put a lot of effort in the lore of these games, but it is up to you to put the pieces together and make your own interpretations of the clues that they give you.

You probably just didn't put much thought into the story and information to understand it.

Early footage was from PC version. This trailer is from PS360 version.
 
So this kind of confirms the no pc version on the 11th like the console version? I mean at the end there I don't see the pc logo like I did the other trailers. I really don't want to double dip but its looking that way.
 
I thought the graphics looks pretty bad, as in low poly models and worse than average textures. Other than that it's Dark Souls so of course it will be brilliant.
 
As a general principle I would advise developers to not put cloth-based armors in their awesome trailers when their implementation of cloth physics sucks so badly.
 
That water, bwahhahaha. Silent Hill 2 HD called, they wanted their water back!
 
some of those monster designs gave me a bit of a demon's souls vibe
dark souls leaned a bit more towards straight up fantasy
 
Didn't the developers say that they didn't want the name of the world to give out too early, as the name would be familiar to attentive Dark Souls players and might give away some plot points? But how does that new name sound familiar? (Haven't watched the trailer, but saw this Drang... name tossed around here).

What? They are really not that hard as soon as you take down one of them. If you're having trouble, focus on Ornstein first.

Trouble isn't the word! I tried so many times and haven't touched the game for months - everything before was tough, but I overcame it, but this was a step too far for my gaming skills! HELP.
 
I wish it was also coming on next gen consoles. I'm not hype at all compared to Dark Souls where I was jumping up and down everytime any kind of news would surface.

I just hope we have some kind of news on that rumored Demon's Souls sequel supposedly coming out on next gen, now.

Really cannot remember, think it is 39 - I forgot to say I sold the game soon after, so need to buy it again! I was so frustrated, I never wanted to play it again, but the videos of the sequel have me wanting to get back into it, because when I succeeded, I succeeded well! So rewarding, but some really tough sections, that are unneeded imo.
 
Why do the graphics look so shitty when the network test looked way better? Did they just capture all that footage from an earlier build or what? I mean, the game is going to be brilliant regardless, it's just weird.
 
The art design is awesome but the graphics are pretty bad. I think I'll wait for HD mods to come out since I'll be playing it on PC.
 
This is the first good DS2 trailer. Reminds me of the DS1 trailers.

Regarding the T rating, it seems a bit weird, but DeS and DaS didn't seem like M rated games in the first place, especially DaS.
