Title: Dark Souls II Trailer
Post by: Guyra on December 08, 2012, 07:15:52 am
So, the trailer is out. What do you guys think? I think it looks like more fun! :D

If you haven't watched it yet, the trailer can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPJaJ5ys_G0

Also, is it just me, or does that black dragon remind you of Guyra with that middle eye? They did have Seath in the first Dark Souls, so it's not too difficult to think that they'd put Guyra in this game. ;)

I don't like what I'm reading about this sequel. It's not From Software who will develop the game this time, but another company. From what I gather, they want to make it less challenging and spoon feed you the story.

Now I've got rather mixed feelings about this. Let's hope it turns out okay.

Always happens. Big companies buy a great selling franchise, change it, and it collapses.

Fingers crossed though! I hope im proven wrong.

Personally speaking I wouldnt mind it being a tad less challenging and a bit more friendly towards people playing with folks on their friends list (I know for one if my brother could easily play multiplayer with me he would have enjoyed Dark Souls but wont play it because its too difficult).

On the other hand, spoon feeding a story sounds waaaaaaaaaaaaaay the opposite of typical From Software titles, I prefer the method of earning information such as the truth glass or discovering lore than being spoonfed a story.  I really hope it stays From Software...

Sorry for so many posts, I can't help but read up on it.  I did find this though confirming it is indeed a From Software game - so we don't have to worry about that one anymore.

Thanks for the link, Todd. That article actually made me feel a bit better about this. :)

And yes, please, let it be a new KF game! xD
