How this can't be legit?

From watching the video they say it was an anonymous source. It seems the whole channel is built upon leaks from anonymous sources. Most of the time they are wrong but the amount of evidence in this case seems like too much to ignore.
Sheeittt. E3 is looking cooler by the second! Bloodborne really got me into the DS gameplay (Or at least a "variant" of it if you will), so looking forward to more.
Was actually wondering if this could be Bloodborne dlc instead, but I notice they seem to be wearing more knight like armor and theres a shield, though if was, it would seem quite different than the base gameplay going back to sword/shield gameplay. Whatever the case, looking forward to both!
Only weird part is the "PC port is negotiable", although the first DS is probably one of the worst ports in history for PC, I thought DS games have sold pretty well on PC, and it's pretty shitty of them too to hold DS3 hostage, espicially after the DS1, and charging PC owners again to pay for scholar version (On DX11 at least, not sure for the lower versions)

If this is fake its the most convincing fake I've ever seen
Oh, junior.
Bloodborne DLC is DARK SOULS III !!!!
The screenshots are absolutely believable, but it's just hard to believe a source that made up the dumbest rumor in years just one week ago.

Some screens from the video
looks like Bloodborne. Could be the DLC. It even looks like the kirkhammer on the second screen.
I'm still watching the video when that post happened, my hype is too strong rn, I'm kind of a mess.
Let the celebration continue then!!!
It probably did, total DS2 sales about 2.5M, PC sales close to 1M according to SteamSpy.

This has to be Miyazaki's work. The sun - a great and dignified figure - hopelessly decaying into nothingness is textbook Miyazaki.
That still doesn't explain the Dark Souls 1 type hud though (unless it got edited in for some reason),
It's a Japanese company. There is a chance it's not day and date.
There's zero chance it's not coming to PC though, which is good enough for me.

If someone whipped all that shit up then From might as well hire him right now.
I can bet money that it's legit.
Look like Demon's Souls.
Shields and a bow in one of the screens (in the video) as well as a bonfire... i doubt it.

They didn't make it up. They just passed it on from an anonymous source that they trusted. The same thing is happening here.

Even though it does look like it. The lack of guns and the fact that atleast two of the pics have shields suggests it isnt

Looks legit. Can't believe this is happening so soon after DS2 and BB, though.

If true, this picture sold me
Of course. I am guessing there will be a trailer if its all true. It would have been big surprise but sadly the rumors and leaks started early. Now it won't be as big when they do show it.
If the Bloodborne expansions come way before Dark Souls III then it is not going to be a problem. Souls fans on PS4 will enjoy both. Easy peasy.

Bloodborne were webms from the Project Beast reveal
Me too..
One other, bad, possibility is that they are trying to fuck over PC players, well knowing that a lot oft them are also people who would buy the game on the Consoles and then if they release it on PC 6 months later buy it there again. Scummy stuff like this of course only works if they don't announce it at first, so that people think they have to buy it console.
But like i said, this would be very scummy, because there is no way they aren't bringing this to PC after how well the first 2 games sold.

There is no Kirkhammer in that screen, you're seeing his shield pop out behind him as he walks.
It's not DLC for Bloodborne people, stop saying it might be.
I would have said the same thing if not for the regular swords and shields and knight armor. It's Dark Souls 3. And where is this Kirkhammer looking thing you see in the second screen? I don't see it, certainly not on the character.

I'm.... so baffled right now. I can't tell if it's obvious fakery or legit.
Arguments for:
1) Many of those screens look legit.
2) There are many screens and assets being posted, that'd take a lot of effort to fake.
3) This can't be Bloodborne DLC despite some resemblences because you clearly see shields, magic, knight armours, etc.
Arguments against:
4) PC release being only "negotiable" has to be utter BS. PC was the lead platform for Dark Souls II, and both From and Namco know the game sold extremely well on PC.
5) The HUD is ripped straight from Dark Souls 1. Why? If it were a placeholder it'd be from Dark Souls 2 or maybe even Bloodborne, no?
6) The HUD also makes no sense. The asset for Sunlight Blade, a spell, is now an item that can have 99 of it?
7) Some of those assets are straight, and I do mean straight from Bloodborne. Statues, architecture, clothing and equipment, etc. This looks more like Bloodborne DLC at times. But, consider point #3 above...
So, to summarize:
- Some of these screens/concept artworks/assets look a lot like Bloodborne far more than anything from Dark Souls, suggesting Bloodborne DLC (especially gothic spires, statues, some articles of clothing and weapons that look like several of the BB trick weapons).
- Some of the screens/concept artworks/assets look very credibly Dark Souls, more than Bloodborne (especially shields, heavy armours, magic, castles -- yes I know BB has a castle area too), suggesting it's indeed Dark Souls 3.
- No PC version being confirmed is a red flag that throws the whole thing into question.
- The weird use of Dark Souls 1 HUD elements suggest forgery.
So yes... I'm very confused.

That was true of the Dark Souls days, but they learned their lesson, and the PC version of Dark Souls 2 wasn't a half-assed port coming out a year later.

It's alledgedly a 2016 game, what's soon about that?

PC negotiatable must be referring to the release date. With how Gung-ho Namco is about PC and how well 1&2 did it'd be idiotic to not do a PC version.
Is that pic for real? Seems like a trailer for a new expansion of some sort if the text there is in the video.

Looks like the PS4 exclusive rumours were bullshit.
They really are pumping these games out.
