If you do a running jump and let go of the left stick you land without doing a roll which has it's own animation, only with small jumps though, with higher jumps you automatically roll.

Never played a stress test before, so it's hard for me to compare it to anything, I don't know how much of the level is locked and all that, but honestly, I'm not impressed.

Anyone else feel the graphics are a bit average? Blurry textures all over the place, although the scale is great. Plays faster than the previous dark souls games, but feels like bloodborne has infuenced this heavily.

i feel u ^ but honestly the fun in souls games comes from saving your progress, getting more souls and items and customizing your character; as a stand alone arcade game like the demo is it's not really going to give you any satisfaction compared to when you're going to have access to an enormous pile of things to do and get. the demo is pretty cool for pvp at least even though it's unbalanced.

You're right, the progress you go through with your character has always been the major fun in Souls games for me now that I think about it. I Never actually been a fan of the PvP, always been more of a PvE guy, so it's definitely the reason why I havn't been impressed as much as I thought I would with the beta, you've hit the nail on the head with that post.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
They really need to just... take backstabs out of online PVP. Nothing hurts more than a lag-stab.

Also the torch anim thing is hilarious. Its like the Bikers from Streets Of Rage 2 doing the arm pump motions in the background of inside the truck. In PVP I tried to lead a group up to the red eyed Knight, but they nuked him and then formed an arena with 2 people blocking the exit of the passageway constantly doing the torch dance, while I battled one on one.

I've only seen the streams and the game is still in development and even then I actually thought it looks really good.

Like, I mean, I'm sure there are plenty of people asking for the testing times. It should certainly be in the OP.

I know I'm a day late but I must apologise for this because I was the first one who said jumping was on R3 instead of L3, I must have confused you too haha. It seems I can't tell my left from my right.

I downloaded the stress test before I got my code and then typed in my code and I can't log in. Oh well, sounds like its nothing special anyways.

Whoever uses the code will also need your Email id and registration number to register their PSN id's to get whitelisted. Won't work otherwise. Didn't take the code myself.

...turn up sharpness?

....turn off overscanning?

...I don't know. It doesn't look blurry to me.

I think I'm done here. If I could cleanly pass off my access I would. It's not that there is anything against the content provided - it's just that at 4 hours I think I've done everything there is to do with all four character builds.

It's also why I questioned if it was really a good idea to whitelist for the WHOLE beta period rather than just go for better PR and only do it the first day. People will grow tired of the content and to keep it going strong you would want those people who got it outside of the lottery.
