This looks like a mix of Dark Souls 1 and Bloodborne. Super fucking hyped

From the gameplay, it doesn't look like bloodborne anymore but a more defined Dark Souls 1. I just hope they add the weight back
to the armor and weapons. I miss that tactical aspect about DkS1.

Flame and I are starting up a little fight club at 30000 SM at Heide's. It'll happen within the next 2-3 hours or so. Add me on steam if anyone's interested.

-Staves and Talismans will have battle arts. (One of the) Talismans will have a battle art that prevents stagger while casting and (one of the) staves will have one that increases magic damage.
-Respec is coming back from Dark Souls 2, we still don't know how it will be performed exactly.
-Hidden walls that can be triggered by attacking will be back
-Durability tweaked for weapons to break slower than in Dark Souls 2 but faster than in Dark Souls

-Magic is being changed back to DeS Mana Points system

Cummed.
Respec always welcome as fuck too. The stars are really aligning for good pvp so far.

So it's an April 2016 release which seems to be a decent amount of time for them to polish off most things. I'm imagining PC release will be a few days to a week after consoles which is actually ok to be honest.

More news about the magic system.
http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/ ... ystem.aspx

-"We should also note that the Ash Estus Flask is a new item to facilitate these magic users, functioning exactly like an Estus Flask but for MP. They recharge at bonfires just like Estus."

-"Battle arts are basically special abilities for non-magic users that add a little more depth to combat. Sword lunges, scimitar whirlwinds, rapid fire for bows... That sort of thing. In prior builds their usage was limited by charges like flasks that were recharged at bonfires, but now they're tied to mana."

I thought this was interesting. The first spell that is actually shown is at 3:37, if you want to get the pointless wandering out of the way.

also, this is the mask that this sorcerer wears

god damn i want this so bad

Of course Brandon still manages to get ganked in a game where there is supposed to be no ganks.

I like the new way backstabs work in Dark Souls 3. It's like the perfect blend of Dark Souls 1 and Dark Souls 2.
