Dark Souls 3


#1

So yeah there’s been rumours but tbf a friend I know who worked with SCEJ on Bloodborne said a week ago he knows it’s happening and that Miyazaki is working on it.

  • The game is coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2016. PC is also
    listed, but is accompanied by the word “negotiable.”
  • The game will support “1-4 players,” meaning it’s possible you can
    summon more than one friend or there might be a player-versus-player
    element.
  • 10 playable classes, all available from the beginning of the game.
  • 45 new enemies, 15 new bosses. Characters and monsters from previous
    games are not included in that count.
  • 100 new weapons and 40 new armor sets with returning equipment not
    counted in that number.
  • 60 minutes of cutscenes, mostly in engine, rather than pre-rendered.
  • There will be around 12 areas in the game.
  • Will change the way you interact with players online. You’ll now
    participate in “Sacrifice Ceremonies.” You can drag bodies around,
    choose where to sacrifice them, perform the ritual, and visit another
    player’s game. Doing this makes you a target for other players. These
    will also change your game, such as a sacrifice creating a bonfire at
    the location you choose to sacrifice the body.
  • Light sources and enemy layouts have been changed. BOss battles have
    a new “Heat Up” factor that “completely change” boss battles based on
    undescribed factors.
  • The game will add “Sword Fighting Arts,” which including “Rush In”
    and “Circle.” The former is a sacrifice attack that allows you to
    dive into an opponent and take damage while delivering a huge hit,
    while the latter sounds like a dodge move.

Anyways these just turned up:

PC release yes or no

“Negotiable” is the word. It will release on the consoles first.

I hope you’re not forced in invade to create the bonfires. That would suck big time.

Demon’s Souls-esque.

God I hate that graphics engine.

God I hate that bloom.


#10

I don’t play souls games for their graphical fidelity so I couldn’t give two shits.

That bloom is really fucking annoying though.

Fuck off Laboured


#11

It’s crap in a way that impacts the game’s playability. The input lag and frame pacing issues are disgusting for a game that requires quick reactions and fine margins which could cost you huge set-backs.


#12

I really should try to play more of Bloodborne and Dark Souls 2 before this is released.


#13

Dark Souls 2 is a good game, but it lacks the mysticism and atmosphere that makes the Miyazaki helmed souls games so compelling - mechanically, it’s still very satisfying, but the thing that really hooks you in so much to the other games is noticeably absent.

#15

That was unexpected.


#16

Yes.


#17

Then from the dark, they came… Umbasa.


#18

The giant king has eyes…?


#19

Downloading it now for Xbox One, will be playing later tonight. Will be my first Dark Souls game.

It’s a harsh mistress. Had my first accidental roll off of a ledge to fall to my death while fighting two guys. I’m sure it won’t be my last.

Game looks good even on a console, it plays well. Really have to get used to the controls, I keep dodging when I mean to attack. :frowning:
