    A German Spy translates an interview with Miyazaki from a Japanese source:


    Hellkite Drake also has a frame by frame analysis vid which is worth a watch (can't get a link to it now)

    Well, Sony's conference starts at 6pm I think, so if it's being shown, it'll likely be during it.

    Reminds me of Nightmare Creatures on the PS1 a lot. The setting, creatures and weapons all look of similar style so I wonder is it an influence. I used to love it and the 2nd one but I haven't played them since they were released so I can't imagine they have aged well. Anyone else remember them?

    Looks great. Just hopefully there will be a good variety of locations.

    It looks like dark souls reskinned. Even the animations, sounds and in game gui are nearly the same tbh...hmmm

    To be honest this is....disappointing. I really like the setting/world the game takes place in but they seem to have pulled a "Dark Souls 2" on this one. I don't know what i expected from this game, but i didn't expect Dark Souls re-skinned and shinier. After the first release trailer i though this would be the game that would push me over the edge and pick up a PS4, but now im not so sure

    Have you both played all 3 Souls games, as everything you have mentioned has been present in both of them since Demon Souls, you do not play a Souls game for its aesthetics, you play it for its punishing gameplay and it addictiveness, the graphics have never been the greatest and they reuse a lot of the animations, but at least it is not the same recycled garbage like Fifa and CoD.

    Calling it dark souls reskinned is doing it a big disservice at the moment.

    It looks like a much quicker game than the Souls games, it doesn't look like we have a shield at all this time which will completely change up the combat and enemies aren't just there waiting for you at all times. A lot of them are looking for you.

    It actually looks like it may have the feature Dark Souls 2 was marketing beforehand in the torch being important.

    It definitely looks similar.. no doubt but so did Demon souls to Dark Souls and they are 2 of the best games of the last generation.

    My issue is are they marketing this as a souls game? I don't think so.

    No it's not being marketed as a Souls game but it's from the same developer.

    I don't really understand the issue?

    Anyone else think they just showed us some multiplayer co-op in that trailer or was it an NPC?

    It didn't look like a phantom either. Hopefully it's not fully co-op as that would take a lot away from the isolation aspect that Souls does so well.

    Call me strange but I'd consider any game described with the phrase "Dark Souls reskinned" to be a massive compliment.

    The exclusive thing is bull****. I'd gladly throw my money at demon souls or this game...on pc.

    Never played a "Souls" game but this looks like the perfect way to get me into the series :)

    So back to my original point about the re-skinning of the game;
    It plays & looks like Dark Souls 1 & 2 and yet it's not being marketed as a souls game however it's a completely new I.P.

    For me that what's disappointing about it regardless, even if you do enjoy the gameplay formula. There's nothing original about this "New I.P."

    As above and also stated by tok this is not a Souls game

    I played and loved Demon Souls, Dark Souls and Dark Souls 2. I felt Dark Souls was a significant upgrade over Demon Souls which made it one of my favourite games of all time and Dark Souls 2 was just more of the same, which i was ok with at the time. But this just seems to be Dark Souls 3.

    I was expecting something new in the gameplay mechanics since it was a new I.P but nothing seems to have really changed here at all which has left me disappointed. Looks like Souls games are becoming like the Call of Duty and Assassin Creed games, more of the same with very little ingenuity

    I think the removal of shields should count as a huge change in gameplay mechanics, along with the addition of short range gun(s?) to stun enemies.
    There's also the slightly changed health mechanics where successfully parrying an attack will get you a small health boost.
    Plus the removal of magic so it's all hand to hand combat now.

    Definitely think you should wait until more gameplay comes out before being so harsh on it. We still barely know anything about it other than the setting and some small game mechanics.

    Combat in Dark Souls 2 was different enough to Dark Souls 1 to warrant it not being termed more of the same imo.
