Why would you worry about that after the second game?

Remember heading down the lift in undead chapel and it reconnecting you to firelink shrine?
So good. DS1's connectivity was great.

Yeah, I did read that the game has been in dev for two years, which is very nice to hear. I just wasn't sure if the whole studio is carried over or what. I wasn't really paying attention to BB the past month so I had no idea what was going on.
If anything this should be even better in engine design and performance. I am sure they had plenty of time to get feedback and optimize.

Had a giant bowl of dicks for breakfast this morning to atone for my previous fear/hatred for DkS3 possibly carrying on all the things I hated about DkS2. The impressions, interview snippets and so on basically sound exactly like what I was hoping for, incredible.

Yes, this is good news. I am just now finishing DS1 and I really loved how interconnected it is.

Sounds good. The bow changes sound interesting, I've never really used bows in Dark Souls (not even for cheesing).

I love Pokken!
Now i need some gameplay footage ASAP

Yay for summon signs! I was worried they'd mess with this based on what was in the initial DS3 rumors. Just keep it simple.

No word about fast travel? I hope it's restricted and I hope they space those bonfires out. No Huntsman's Copse, Harvest Valley or Earthern Peak type shit.
Supposedly the animation is good in this one. That's a big one. The animations being so off in DkSII takes away so much from the feel of the combat.

Eh, it's not that common.
This.
Went from DS2 on PC to Bloodborne on PS4. I'll never touch a From game on console again.

Me too for consoles. 60FPS breaks these games at the knees on 60 for visuals IMO. As long as they have nice motion blur 30 and MUCH better visuals is the way to go. Makes porting so much easier too.
I will most likely get this on PC but I feel most console gamers want a much better looking game. 60FPS solid and DS3 would look very very dated on PS4 and it isn't worth it. Some people will differ on their needs.

I certainly don't miss backstabs after Bloodborne.
Will play on PC for 60fps. Not happy about this design decision.

For me I try to blank out these games as much as possible. Meaning I have barely even seen footage of BB much less DS3 haha.

Bloodborne chugged enough at 30fps. Would have preferred to have Souls stay at 60. Gameplay>graphics in Souls.

Yes, but come on how many of their game systems would be sacrificed? You are playing a console game really ported to PC no? They would have to kill how many GFX systems in place to get this running at 60FPS solid on consoles? Totally not worth it IMHO. Porting a PS4 game to PS5 will be so much easier too if that ever happens. Going for 60 is the wrong move. It screws up everything including the PC release.
If you really want 60 get a PC IMO. PC will benefit greatly from consoles being 30FPS. The LCD GFX systems will all be in place at 30FPS where with 60 they would be chopped off.... the game would look terrible and PC fans would cry that the game is dated.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Miyazaki level design is the save I needed to hear.
Poor bloke is become the Kojima to his underlings already, haha. "Oh give it here then."

DS2:SOTFS (can't comment on OG pc version) runs really well
Same here, the performance was really bad in comparison. Almost put me off the game completely and the initial loading times didn't help either.

Yeah they stepped up their game. I see no problems. There will be a modded texture pack and maybe UI and that should be all there is to need.

Awesome stuff.
Really hope the PC version is day and date with consoles, but that's probably not realistic.

And what about the DLC? It Miyazaki passing it off to someone else, or is he directing multiple projects at the same time? He's obviously a fiercely talented guy, but seems like he's moving on a little too soon and not focusing on existing projects.
Bows were already godlike in Dark II imo, loved using them, I might try a full bow build in Dark III now.
If he can work on both Bloodborne and Dark Souls III at the same time, I don't think Dark Souls III and a Bloodborne DLC should be too much.

I hope they don't show a thing to the public until they've gone gold.

The most important bit IMO.
I hope they show off a high spec PC build and then port it to PS3 and cancel the PS4 version >:]
Why? Just don't watch it. Sony handled marketing brilliantly with Bloodborne, if Namco can do the same for this game, I'll gladly watch everything they show us, with no fear of spoilers.
This is a short new interview with Miyazaki from DaveControl @ Youtube, in which Miyazaki indicates there is a base camp of some kind in DkS3. That's different from what everybody else said which is...gaming journalism at an E3 I guess. The interview starts around 1:15 -

+ there is a base camp
+ jump button customization and camera control from Dark Souls II will probably be implemented
+ all multiplayer questions continue to be dodged for now
+ there are multiple Lords of Cinder, whenever Lord of Cinder comes up they're not referring to a specific one from the past - a Lord of Cinder is someone who succeeded the fire in a particular generation

Oh man, PC from Dark Souls 1 is totally gonna be a boss. I bet they'll call him/her "Successor of the First Flame" or something badass

I'm excited for this game.
Just impulse bought Bloodborne on Amazon for $40 (with Prime shipping). I need my From Software fix!

Going into this blind. The leaked shots were enough. Glad they're boosting the Archery build.

With Souls being my favorite series, it took until this for me to truly be excited about DS3. I'm glad the hype finally hit me, I thought something was wrong with me for a bit there.
I'm loving this stance idea, really mixes up the gameplay. I'm cautious about the backstabbing making a comeback though. I thought Bloodborne was so much better for requiring the charge move to backstab. It made fights more fun and less about lag and who can circle around the most effectively.
Otherwise, I'm excited about all the news!
