Dark Souls II Arrives in March?

The Darks Souls II premiere has been moved to march 2014.

[a_bro]

they should port it.

[HyFackingDro]

You mean to PS4 xBone? Of course they should! No disrespect to this game, Souls series is my absolute favorite but Jap devs are stubborn. Miyazaki said for the 1st Dark Souls that he didn't want voice chat in the games because it would subtract from the role playing... In reality it wouldn't but it's just Jap stubbornness and their refusal to get with the times much like Capcom and the RE5 fiasco...

[Heisenburger]

Am I the only one who got uncomfortable when I got to "...but it's just Jap stubbornness..."?

*pulls on collar*

Oooew boy...

[JP1369]

Voice chat would ruin the atmosphere. For a game that uses that very thing to such great effect that's unacceptable. It's hard to suspend disbelief when some kid is yelling at his mom or eating with his mic on. Also, racism and homophobia run rampant online and I don't want my make-believe world to be filled with uneducated idiots.

Heisenburger - Yeah, it does make me wonder how he refers to people of Japanese descent when he knows no one is listening.

[DragonKnight]

Voice chat would be the end of the Souls series. The point of the game is to make you adapt and learn to proceed with caution, to feel like it's just you out there against the world.

Imagine people freestyling their terrible rap music, childishly insulting everyone, telling you what's up ahead. How fun would the game be then?

[nolifeking]

Voice chat would be counter-intuitive to the game and its mythos. The living actively speaking to the dead would seem a stretch to me and possibly others.

[roadkillers]

Heisenburger: Is that a joke?

I'll play the game, doesn't matter where it (PS3/PS4). By the way, did anyone know that you can curl up into a ball on the crows nest and be taken to the beginning of the game? Had my friend show me that today. Crazy.

[zeroskie]

Do you really want to hear some 12 year old kid screaming at you to get over here or go over there? Nah man, it's perfect the way it is.

[HyFackingDro]

People are stupid or rather ignorant and they will defend whatever a company says without reason.If voice chat was in the game and they were debating taking it out you fools would be on the other side of the table. Just because the dev said so it must be so... monkey see monkey do. Just like KZ2 and people defending terrible controller input lag. People still turn on skype and talk or other means so they can play it, and if you really don't want to here someone else, what you can't just simply mute them?

[Lovable]

Finally someone noticed the banner that I, myself, carefully put there...pweeew

[InfamousHero]

Damn i know they said 2014 release but i was hoping it'd sneak in holiday 2013. Hopefully the PC version is ported to PS4.

[LackTrue4K]

i read it fast, thinking it read "DARKER SOULS II"

[DragonKnight]

FAKE! This contains absolutely NO sources whatsoever and there is NO proof that that picture is legitimate. For all we know, that "March 2014" banner could also be the release date for a specific region.

I call B.S. on this.

[InfamousHero]

Banner is in Los Angeles

[DragonKnight]

Then I stand corrected.

[sdozzo]

Better To Ask For Forgiveness Then Permission.

[RBdrift]

I noticed that banner yesterday on my drive to work plus that banner is sitting 2 blocks away from were I work, so yes it's very real.

[elhebbo16]

Soooo Next gen then?

[MWH]

that's too long, I hope it'll be worth the wait.. the hard wait.

[PLAYWATCH]

Man, I hope this comes out for Next Gen Consoles. I would hate to be forced to go back to Current Gen to play this. This goes for all the games that are coming out for Current Gen after Next Gen is released.

[OptimisticPrime]

From software already said that they are not releasing on next gen consoles.

And they already forecasted a 2014 release when they announced the game...

Why would this article suggest next gen?

[Scrivlar]

They might have to out of necessity though maybe? For the sake of maximizing sales?

[Tultras]

Please sooner, PLEASE!

[Tdmd]

So far away... :/

[bluetoto]

Can't wait to see the improvements!
