E3 2011: Dark Souls Trailer


Recommended Posts

That trailer really sold it for me.

Huge bosses. If a game has them, i pretty much have to play it. I would have liked to have seen a proper co-op mode in this though.

Probably why Shadow of the Colossus is one my favourite games.

Demon's Souls was OK at best. The gameplay was fantastic ("difficulty" included), but the story was almost non-existent which made it a chore to actually play through the game. I hope they fix/add the story for Dark Souls, and if they do it definitely will be an awesome game.

my main problem with Demon's Souls are the graphics...i was really expecting a visual masterpiece from the reviews, the actual product is more like an upscaled PS2 game. other than that it's OK, i don't mind the repetitive and hard gameplay, i figure it's like an 80's arcade game, like Golden Axe or something. You're not supposed to get very far without a lot of trial and error.

Having said all that, hope Dark Souls DOES come closer to a conventional modern game...there's a reason why these conventions have become the norm. like actual save points. people who work 50 hours a week can ill afford a game where one level could take all night to finish!

Um when you quit demons souls and load it you appear exactly where you were when you quit :laugh: Demons Souls saves all the time, every little thing you do/pickup/kill is saved.

If anything it's a more advanced system as you don't need save points and clunky menus to save in.

what do you mean, i can quit mid-level and next time it will restart there, not at the start of the level or the nexus? will have to try that!

It will start exactly where you quit :) Although I'm sure quitting during a boss battle might restart the whole thing, I've never done that myself.

    • Autonomous post-training loop placed 8th of 4,000 and then rewrote its own evaluation strategy. An autonomous AI system built by researchers at Amazon's A-EVO-Lab completed a full post-training run on a 30 billion parameter NVIDIA Nemotron model — with no human in the loop, across four rounds running over multiple weeks — and then did something its designers had not planned for: it detected that its own internal evaluation metric had become misleading and redesigned the search strategy it was using to improve itself. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319123/20260626/nvidia-ai-trained-itself-30b-model-corrected-its-own-broken-metric-mid-run.htm

    • If Ford would stop hiring SUITS to run the company, and put CAR GUYS back in charge perhaps they could do better. Heck, the only CAR they produce today is the Mustang. Hey Ford! Not everyone needs/wants an overpriced SUV or pickup truck that is so tall you have to have a step ladder to get in and out of it.
    • Amazing how some will just jump all over something. Probably the same people that thought Musk was a "tech god" before he saddled up with "bad orange man". Before, they worshiped at his feet, including a lot of so called hollywood types. Now, because he fell off the plantation truck, they toss him under the bus.
