Anybody else disappointed they just went with Dark Souls 2 instead of something like Dragon Souls.

I hope item progression is a little more fleshed out in this one. Dragon sword ---> Lightning Spear ---> Uber weapon was a little boring.

I really hope the difficulty options read like this literally:
1. Pussy
2. Hard
3. We guarantee that you will break 10 controllers if you select this.

why not call it darker souls or something?

anyway, i hope they balance the classes a little more. i fooled around with a mage after beating the game with a cleric and experienced a steep decline in difficulty.

Looks amazing; definitely excited for this, and here's hoping the PC port isn't utter shit again. (And releases same day!)

I about threw my controller at the TV on Demon's Souls and haven't picked up Dark Souls. Game looks gorgeous, so I'll probably pick it up since the series gets glowing reviews.

I hope they can somehow take the atmosphere from Demon's Souls and apply it to this, because I found that to be the one area Demon's was superior to Dark. Well, that and level design.

PC listed at the bottom. Hope that means at release and maybe more than an afternoon spent on the port.

Dark Souls is the best game of this generation. It's the only game I've played through twice. I might play through it a third time and play as a Pyromancer.

I gotta tell you, when I first saw the title of the thread I admit, my breath caught for a second.
I loved Demon Souls and Dark Souls - I cannot wait for this. Dark Souls fed my craving for a seriously challenging, skill based RPG. I can't wait for this.

Brutal but you can't stop playing and can't wait for this one. Wish there were more games that set the difficulty level at Fuck You from the get go.

We have taken these necessary steps with Dark Souls II in order to evolve the overall experience of the Dark Souls series," says Tomohiro Shibuya, FromSoftware Director on Dark Souls II. "The entire development team is striving to make Dark Souls II an experience that is fresh while not forsaking its roots in presenting players with challenging gameplay.

I wonder if this will be cross platform with the new systems coming next fall, it seems odd to be announced for the PS360.

The trailer doesn't appear to be up on You Tube yet, here a link to it on Kotaku.
