Dark Souls II Gameplay Footage and Preview

For those of our readers that were looking forward to seeing more of From Software’s Dark Souls II, we’ve managed to round up quite a decent range of coverage, starting from two interviews/gameplay footage videos from GameTrailers and IGN respectively. Both show roughly the same location as the first demo of the title, but the footage includes new weapons, armors, items (Estus Flasks are making a return, among other things) and enemies, and both interviews give some new info on gameplay.

Meanwhile, if you want to hear some hands-on impressions, you might want to check this footage-less video preview from GameTrailers. The journalist came away mostly positive about the experience, though he has also has some concerns about some elements that were present in the demo he got to play, such as a teleporting bonfire that brings you directly to the boss. It has to be noted that we don’t know yet if this is actually a game mechanic or just a feature of the demo build to offer a more compact experience for E3, so I guess we’ll have to wait for more information to come out.
