DARK SOULS 2 NEW GAMEPLAY! (Escapist News Now)

Director Tanimura-San showed off never-before-seen sections of the game to demonstrate that Dark Souls 2, is everything you loved about Dark Souls, but better. It retains simple controls to assist in lots of trial & error during gameplay.

They wanted to emphasize 3 dimensional venue creation so that players can explore the world in depth. There will be new mechanics to the game like using torches to light areas so you can see enemies before they kill you.

There are also more dynamic enemy reactions, such as enemies breaking through walls.

The demo continued into the Mansion of Dragons where dragon experiments were conducted, but don't think you're safe. In fact, Tanimura-San said one of their design goals was to always have players feeling nervous and stressed about upcoming enemy encounters, never knowing where they are lurking.

They ended the demo with a montage of just a few of the ways you can die in the game, because let's face, you are all going to die lots of times. It wouldn't be Dark Souls any other way right?
