I'm watching some gameplay vids on YT and it looks incredible and the sound is amazing. There was this one HQ vid that was really good and the sounds sound next-gen. I might get this on PC now

Does it look any different from 1? The actual gameplay.

In a lot of ways yes. I played the network test and there have been significant changes to combat.

The graphics looks pretty much the same (From what I saw) with a few minor improvements, of course. What did impress me was the sound, the sound was amazing! I dunno how the guy got such high quality audio recorded but the sound was amazing, you could hear water droplets, wind, the creak in wood, it was like next-gen sound

@Isen, do you know if DS2 will support the Dualshock 4 on the PS3? I know some games don't. My left analogue is fucked and I don't really wanna buy a new controller (If PC is shite) but you need a working to survive the game

This is very interesting as I am still unsure what platform to purchase this for. PC / PS3 / Xbox360 ?

I am very concerned about the visuals, have what they have been showing off been from PC or have they been exaggerated?
I also worry as my PC is currently been sent for warranty and unsure of what the outcome will be, so I am aiming as playing this with one of my consoles, what you guys scheme?

I'm not sure if I've seen PC footage, but the majority of the footage has been from the PS3. I would go PS3 as the series started out on PS (So more dev time with it) plus PS is just more awesome . Dualshock 4 is supported so that means I might go PS3 myself, I haven't seen any reviews of the PC version. If you go PS3 though you will have a much better time with pairing up with locals, most locals game on PS.

Cool... Now I just need to stop eating in order to save up for it

Think you've sold me there on the PS3 version. Though I realize this isn't the right forums but seeing as you brought it up. You say the DS4 is compatible, is it that much better than the DS3 (I'm not a huge fan of the triggers L1&L2 (my fingers tend to slip off)). And I realize triggers are vital in this game.

If memory serves correct the DS4 triggers have a more concave design as apposed to convex like the DS3 controls?
hope I'm making sense with that =P

... on a side note;

From Polygon Review:

The sheer amount of content From Software has created is as impressive as it is terrifying — from massive castles where you can visit every room...

I remember this being a fruitless task as in Dark Souls you never came across anything "new".

I don't understand that sentence. Are you saying there wasn't much to discover in Dark Souls?

The only reasons why I wanted to know about DS4 support is due to the fact that the left analogue stick on my current DS3 controller is fucked. It never reverts back to it's neutral "stance" (?), it stays in the direction that I push it. So if a monster decides to surprise me I might end up dying more times due to a fucked controller than actually being pwn'd.

The DS4 is infinitely better than the DS3 though, it's bigger, better triggers (Concave), smaller dead zone for the analogue sticks etc... Much better in every way except battery life, it dies a lot faster than the DS3 ever did.

This is why I have two DS3 controllers.

I wouldn't mind using a DS4 it looks really comfortable.
