Probably not for a while. Busy busy. I am excited to play it though.Jaze1618 said:Walter! When are you going to give us your Juicy DLC play-by-play?
Walter said:You are on the right track.
Good deal. I haven't gotten deep into it just yet, but I really have to stress that since you like this game, have a friend lend you his PS3 and play Demon's Souls. It's literally the exact kind of game. Something to keep you entertained while staying at the house and all.Walter said:Dark Souls 2 is coming. Trailer was shown at the Video Game Awards tonight. Will post trailer when it's available.

So it's a new world, and a new setting. Makes some sense. The only reason Dark Souls had a different name from Demon's Souls is to sidestep legal headaches. So this one may as well be called Demon's Souls III.Hopelessness, Despair, and Impending Doom Arrives With Dark Souls II
SAN JOSE, Calif. – December 7, 2012 – Leading video game publisher and developer NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. today proudly announces that the critically acclaimed Dark Souls™ saga marches forward with Dark Souls™ II, currently in development at FromSoftware in Tokyo, Japan. Dark Souls II will continue a legacy of goading its passionate fan base with unrelenting challenge and suffering that are considered a hallmark of the series; while presenting new devilishly devised obstacles for players to overcome. Dark Souls II will be available for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, and PCs.
Built upon the foundation established by Souls series creator and Dark Souls II Supervisor, Hidetaka Miyazaki with development helmed by FromSoftware Director Tomohiro Shibuya, Dark Souls II will feature a new hero, a new storyline, and an unfamiliar world for players to survive in while delivering its signature brand of unrelenting punishment that players hunger for. Epic battles with gruesome enemies and blood-thirsty bosses await adventurers as they traverse through a devastated world filled with death and despair; only those who are strong willed or cunning can survive this journey to achieve great glory. Players seeking to share their experience will discover a revamped server-based multiplayer mode that will put a distinct Dark Souls II twist on the concept of playing with others.
“Dark Souls II retains the core essence of Dark Souls while evolving to present new twists and challenges that are sure to please longtime fans and attract new comers to the series,” says Carlson Choi, Vice President of Marketing at NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. “FromSoftware is going to take a very dark path with Dark Souls II; players will need to look deep within themselves to see if they have the intestinal fortitude to embark on this journey.”
“This new chapter in the Dark Souls saga presents opportunities for us to drive innovation in gameplay design, develop an entirely new story, and expand the scope of the world in which the player interacts with the game. We have taken these necessary steps with Dark Souls II in order to evolve the overall experience of the Dark Souls series,” says Tomohiro Shibuya, FromSoftware Director on Dark Souls II. “The entire development team is striving to make Dark Souls II an experience that is fresh while not forsaking its roots in presenting players with challenging gameplay. Our goal is to surprise and delight our fans with new experiences and plot twists while enticing new players to join our dark journey.”

The Good Reverend Skeleton said:I may be crazy, but I thought the story/world of the first game was utterly dark and depressing.
We're not really sure of anything, but when they say new world and new story, I take it to mean the difference will be along the same lines as Demon's Souls and Dark Souls. That being said, Lordran is a kingdom (the realm of lords) in the world of Dark Souls. Other kingdoms include Carim, Catalina, Thorolund, Vinheim, etc. But I wouldn't call those "worlds," necessarily.Proj2501 said:Are we sure it's a completely new story with absolutely no relation to Dark Souls lore?
...
I think by unfamiliar world, he simply means not Lordran.
They're toeing a very dangerous line here. But I have faith that they know what made Dark Souls great, and will follow up on it.Speaking with the publication, game director Tomohiro Shibuya explained that Dark Souls 2 will differ in more ways than one from its predecessors.
"I am personally the sort of person who likes to be more direct than subtle," Shibuya said. "[Dark Souls 2] will be more straightforward and understandable."
Shibuya and Yui Tanimura replace former game director Hidetaka Miyazaki.
Proj2501 said:The story of Gwyn and Lordran has been told for sure, but there are other Gods specifically mentioned in Dark Souls that never show up at all, only referenced.
