Prepare To Die, Again (And Again): 12 Minutes Of Dark Souls II
Praise the sun! IGN has a 12-minute gameplay demo of Dark Souls II, the first footage released! Watch as director Yui Tanimura and producer Tak Miyazoe take us through various parts of the game, showing off devious traps and monsters that often attack when you’re behind them. Of course, there is lots and lots of dying. At one point, this guy? Cheers near a cliff and then gets knocked off by boars. That’s Dark Souls for you!
There isn’t enough footage yet to render judgment on whether or not Dark Souls II will be “dumbed down” (in light of the stated goals of making the game more accessible), but what is here at least looks tantalizing to me.
