    Before Miyazaki got to be director for Armored Core 4, he wasn't known for anything. Hes only directed 4 games(AC4,AC4:FA,DeS,and DkS), before that his only listed experience is "planning assistant" for one Armored Core game.

    This just makes me more excited to see what is said in this upcoming edge interview. Oh, Tanimura is also "directing" not just Shibuya i guess. Although all that has been said is "Shibuya and Yui Tanimura replace former game director Hidetaka Miyazaki."

    When will that interview occur? Any date? And you didn't answer silly, who's Yui Tanimura? I didn't read anywhere that name related to Dark Souls 2.

    Yea i did, him along with Shibuya will be involved.


    "directors new to the Souls series, Tomohiro Shibuya and Yui Tanimura, who have taken the reins from Hidetaka Miyazaki."


    http://www.edge-online.com/news/introducing-edge-249-dark-souls-ii-unveiled/


    I would also like to add, most of the stuff that seems negative so far has been said by Edge. They are the ones that talked about casual players, and TES. They used rather vague quotes, we don't know why the directors said that or what question they were responding to ext. Lets just wait for the interview.

    I actually think they are hyping this "Dark Souls turning casual" thing cause they know it will sell the issue, cause it makes fans want to read the interview.


    "I personally am the sort of person who likes to be more direct than subtle"

    "[Dark Souls II] will be more straightforward and more understandable."

    To me those seem to be taken somewhat out of context. We will see though. Read the whole article again, EDGE is the one pushing the idea of a simplified Dark Souls. The actual FromSoft press release is talking about retaining the relentless challenge, and keeping the "core essence" of the series.


    Interview will be Dec 20th by the way.

    Wait... people are actually trusting Edge?
    I guess they don't live in the UK where they actually publish their terrible magazine, that promotes terrible games.
    Edge have also been demanding easy mode for a long time, makes sense they'd forgo any of the minimal at best journalistic integrity they had.

    You should know by now that there is no escape... Prostration
    I, too, am now interested in this interview, though apparently edge is not the best choice for the interviewer. I really wish these new directors would just do an AMA or something where actual fans who enjoy the games as they are could ask questions :|

    It also just occurred to me, none of us will ever play DKSII anyways, seeing as how the world is ending December 12th. :affraid:

    I'm gonna go to sleep early so I'm not hungover my first day in the afterlife.

    ON TOPIC, I've never been excited about the release of a video game before, until now.

    Off Topic, in France there is a mountain they actually have to basically block off because people believe it is a sacred site. That if they are there when the world ends they will escape destruction and enter paradise.

    That's the plot of an episode of the Simpsons. Humans eh?

    On Topic, those words actually have very different meanings to me.

    Well yes they do of course, but look at who is using them and the context.
    I think it is pretty standard to refer to whatever character the player controls in any video game as the "hero". Secondly, it is a translation, and how many times has there been issues of translations not being entirely accurate?

    I'd bet boss souls to dung pies that DKSII is going to have the exact same type of player character as the previous two. You will be an anonymous undead who may or may not be the big sh1t saviour of whatever.

    They go through all this stuff wher the new director is the MH guy, and its marketed as more accessible and stuff

    Sp you buy the game, walk through the first area, no real enemies, you're all pissed its too easy.

    Walk through the first fog gate and you encounter a troll. Expecting it to be easy you go in swinging

    And you hit it for 1 damage, and it has 10k health

    And then it one shots you, no matter your armour

    And as the you died screen comes up Miyazakai's face pops up laughing at you

    And it turns out he was the director all along, and the game is 10x harder than DkS

    This. I want this. so so so so so much.

    I'm seeing a lot of mention of people saying that there is actually a mix up/confusion about these new directors. Apparently we got them mixed up with other people, and Shibuya did not work on Monster Hunter(which isn't a big deal, cause that person only did some CG work for the game). Apparently the new directors actually do have experience being directors. The apparently both worked on a few games in the A.C.E series(a mecha game, similar to Z.O.E) developed by Fromsoft. Those games were never released outside of Japan, and i have no way of confirming this because the credits are written in kanji. It makes a lot more sense then two guys who have very little experience being in charge of a big game like this. I think Tanimura still worked as planning on Armored Core 2, unless there are two Yui Tanimuras are Fromsoft. Just weird they only had that listed as his experience.


    Kind of good news i guess, cause that was my only worry. Two guys with very little experience being in charge of the series. Looks like they both have worked together(Shibuya as Director, and Tanimura as main game designer) on 3-4 games.

    I just really hope that Fromsoft lets Miyazaki have a solid role as the supervisor instead of just "promoting" him in order to get him out of the way so they could ruin his child :|
