Dark Souls II - VGA 2012 trailer

[Rapture]

“I personally am the sort of person who likes to be more direct than subtle,” he tells us. “[Dark Souls II] will be more straightforward and more understandable.”

I hope that doesn't mean the world won't be open like it was in Dark Souls. I really appreciated that in the game.

It's from the same guy that was responsible for Monster Hunter so I'm not worried at all that it might be too linear.

I haven't played Dark souls yet!!

I think it only means that you won't be left so much in the dark regarding the "what the hell do i need to do now?" moments, I know I had a ton of them in Dark Souls.

Yeah but that part of the fun. The game not holding your hand pointing the finger where to go next. It was what made it special. I hope ds2 is not linear. Id welcome a world thing like demons souls.

Of course, but some slight hints wouldn't go amiss. For example, it took me forever to figure out to go to the Lower Undead Burg. Had the key, but I completely forgot about that one door you pass before the dragon and eventually stumbled into it by accident.

Its a sequel so it definately wont shift to a linear or demon souls style of level select imo.

The quote regarding making things straightforward; there were similar quotes to dark souls too.

He could be referring to game mechanics which are often left in the dark like covenants etc. Both souls games have had some mechanics that weren't explained and caused alot of confusion even on forums and wiki's so addressing some of those would be nice. This wouldnt change the game's difficulty at all which comes from the world and enemies so I wouldn't mind that.

I actually liked the way Demon's Souls was better to be honest...

[AaronSOLDIER]

No Wii U? Surprised.

I hope they still have the secret passages/ fake walls. Always loved finding a new location by mistake ( usually from attacking a chest to test if its a mimic).

I also hope for optional areas, bosses, paths, etc. That's part of what made Dark Souls so much fun, you could get to some zones in completely different ways, offering totally different challenges.

Looks epic, I didn't bother with the first one because of the difficulty. When I get off work it's not the best time to keep dying

You mean a hub world like the Nexus? Yeah i liked that more too.

You forget these:
A new Tomb Raider
A new Bioshock
A new Dead Island
A new Metro
A new Splinter Cell
A new Quantic Dream game
A new naruto game
A new Crysis
A new tales game (localized)
A new castlevania

and thats not counting all the other games that seem good but I'm not sure about. Yeah, 2013 is sure going to be a crazy good year for everyone.

You forgot these

A new Amnesia game
A new Walking Dead game

I liked the style of DkS more. Wasn't much of a fan of the Nexus.

I'm pretty excited to see how the multiplayer will turn out.

I hope the co-op is handled better and pvp is more optional.

Dedicated servers have been confirmed.
