I suppose, there are some updates. Like an ability to pre-order. More information on 11th of April, eh?

Looks like they are making room for more videos so most likely the 11th is going to give us some decent informasion. Hopefully some gameplay footage

So yeah, supposedly we will get a new video soon. If it is true, I will create a new topic with it, and add it to this main post.

IGN announced that they got the world premier of a 12 minute gameplay video tomorrow.
Edit: Ok it's going to be today at 20:00 GMT Link

Awesome..thanks for the link...

First one is with wanderer costume from the first game wielding a bow with what seems to be a staff on his left side. The boss seems pretty bad ***. Second picture, knight armour is back and so is bonfires which is no suprice. This is looking good...getting a great vibe.

Edit: Also the statue from the second picture is the same as the one in the first. Maybe a deity, but could be a sign of a covernant.

Second edit: The picture behind the hand of the wanderer looks like a balder...maybe a clue to were Dark souls 2 is going to take place. Maybe the knight we saw in the annoucment trailer was knight king rendal. Might explain why Balder knight were in lodran.

Updated with the new gameplay video.

Updated with new Q&A video.

GOD DAMN I WAS HAPPY WHEN I HEARD ESTUS FLASKS WILL BE IN DARK SOULS 2

Awesome ↑

Looks promising so far...

I like that in the Q&A the two guys from From & Namco reiterated that their primary goal is to keep the "core" values of the Souls series intact.

I think all this talk of accessibility is due to mistranslation. Honestly, I think they just don't want some aspects of the game to be as obtuse as in Dark Souls; for example, how many people who didn't use guides do you think ever found the Dragon or Darkwraith covenants? I think that's the kind of stuff they'll change when they say they want to make some things more accessible. They mean it in a literal sense, not the all-encompassing pejorative gameplay term sense.

I want something changed.
A: The circle that you lock-on enemies with, make it Grey'ish. I found it distracting and THAT'S BAD, If you're in a fight.
B: Gimmie the Numbers! I wanna see how much damage i do against my enemies.
C: He had 3 weapons equiped? I would prefer a 2 slot system again.

Expect those. I'm not gonna complain. I'm already gonna save up money for The Ultimate edition :3. Even if there are none >:3

I agree on the lock on ring, it's a bit too...bright. It could be just something to get used to though.

Just give them more money, and I'm sure eventually they'll give you a box that says 'Ultimate Edition.'

That's my plan, at least.
