Morality system in a Souls game could either work terribly well or just be terrible.
Love interest can suck my cock.

Those people would have bad taste and dont understand what Greek mythology is about.
If it's something like PB / PW then "Yep". Hopefully something that changes things around a bit even more than just spawning some BP enemies.
Yep, pretty much this. But again, bandwagon worry will ignore it.
That is true, but it does sound kind of concerning to put it like that, like it'll matter more to do good/evil things. We'll see I guess.
Again, morality was, in a way, in the other games.
As long as they don't implement explicit RED/BLUE choices, i don't think it's terrible.

Out of those loads of worrying informations, I pick out the fact that Myzaki s working on a new game, which likely is King's Field.

I can see where you're coming from with that, but it bubbled under the surface rather than "WHATCHUGONNADO?!"
What would you want it to change? It's not like Dark Souls has a tight story with cutscenes, it's not Mass Effect.
The worrying thing is that news, coupled with the more streamlined approach they seem to aim for.
I don't know, as of now i am definitely worried about this.
Yeah no, i agree with you there.
I hope they won't fuck it up too much. :\
Also FUCK KING'S FIELD, That game is in first person right? Well that automatically rules it out for me, due to motion sickness.

The chariot-dude and morality stuff sounds a lot like killing Gwyndolin and getting Darkmoon covenant on your ass.
25% done? NOOooo...

Ah man, the quotes about Miyazaki being forced to work on something else have me worried. I really don't want to criticize the game before seeing some actual gameplay videos, but it does sound worrisome...
Also, I really liked how the story was presented in Dark Souls. You actually had to use your brain to connect some dots, but you could also completely ignore it. I don't want that to change.
And one more door picure: Survival Horror Today
In don't want to shit up the thread with too many off-topic pictures so I'm just posting a link.

Who said anything about Mass Effect haha. I already mentioned bringing back BP enemies, but in Demon's there wasn't much that visually changed unless it was Pure White or Pure Black. Maybe have some things in between? (even if it was adding BP enemies in lesser numbers prior to Pure Black or Absolute Evil® or whatever)
Maybe this was the sneak peek at next gen geoff was hyping up.

The Souls games exist because of King's Field, so I doubt From would allow him to work on anything that could impact the hype for Dark Souls 2 negatively.
It's not next-gen. Or if it is, it'll be a pathetic looking next gen game. It looks like Dark Souls 1, give or take.

Pretty lame that they made Miyazaki step down. I'm sure he and his team could evolve Dark Souls, I doubt he was stubbornly holding it back from changing. Though his new IP could be something special.
I still think it's too early to say the sky is falling. I mean we only know vague details and no real new gameplay mechanics. And morality system isn't always a bad thing as long as the decisions are more Witcher than Mass Effect.

Dark Souls GREE*

Do you guys think they're even going to keep the "die without recovering your souls and you'll lose them" mechanic?

Isn't this from the trailer?
That has always been integral to the series but at this point nothing is certain.
His skirt doesn't even have cloth physics.
Then again it's a very tiny screenshot, maybe it's mindblowing in motion. *snickers*

That IS it in motion. Blighttown 2.0.
The scene of the guy bracing for the dragon's attack, yeah. But the assets are in-game quality in the screen shot and high quality CG in the video.

The new director sounds like a terrible pick. He literally says in the article: "Things were too vague, players could skip a lot of content. I'm a direct guy, I will make it easier for players to experience DSII".
Sounds like Hayashi 2.0

If Miyazaki was working on a new King's Field I would suddenly care a whole lot less about this, especially after hearing some of those new details.
From's never let me down though, so they get a temporary pass until some gameplay surfaces.
Can't wait for the undead warriors to crawl on the floor, begging me to spare their lives.

Oh I see, I thought it might just have been a shitty still.
He needs to be dragged before The Hague!
I'm sure it will be fine. I hope so, at least. I can't help but feel my confidence wane a little after reading all that, though.

I mean i'm sure nobody here actually wants Dark Souls 2 to be terrible.(unless it's the people that want easy mode)Crossover with Twilight?

This new guy needs to get the fuck out. IMMEDIATELY. My Hayashi/Toriyama senses are tingling.
One path? Forced storyline? Pointless love interest? Yeah I repeat, get the fuck out.

Where it says accessibility won't be as bad as we think and that a part at the start guides you more seems perfectly fine to me. The bulk of the game sounds to have remained unchanged, and explaining mechanics better is the perfect way to make the game easier without an easy mode.
-Shibuya talks about "limiting players options for the early portion of the game, making it simpler to understand new concepts. Then, after a certain amount of time has elapsed, they will suddenly experience the true dark souls experience".
This line is partially rigged, it starts with them saying accessibility is a word most players would have a negative nee-jerk reaction but promises it won't be setup how fans expect.

If next-gen arrives before DS2 then I hope they'll release the game on that platform too (day and date with the other ones).
The hints about possible time shifting or manipulation sound cool.
25% done means so much doom and gloom talk and speculation before we get some concrete (visual) info.

Then dagger you in the foot?
Here's a little more info about the "morality system." Edge asks about a creepy looking enemy, and the director says he's an undead who executes those who commit evil deeds. Edge asks if there's a morality system, the director says yeah, if you're unlucky enough you might meet him.
I wonder if it's like Miyazaki's idea about roaming dark knights, but in this case it's a sort of covenant character who hunts those who break/hurt covenants. Like an offline equivalent of the Darkmoon Blades. But that's probably expecting too much.
He's also talking about adding vehicles to the game, not because it would complement Dark Souls' design but because he wants to keep trying/adding new things.
I'm usually pretty optimistic about these kind of things, but this guy sounds like a fool. It reeks of someone without a vision throwing a bunch of things at a wall and hoping some of it sticks.
