Dark Souls II - Hands On Preview - Mature-Gaming

Steve Whitley got the chance to play the first couple of hours and die, a lot, but less than average apparently.

This is why I want Sony to make a DUALSHOCk 3.5...without the lightbar or trackpad. Or somehow make the ps4 controller work on the ps3...all the time. Its just so wierd going back to the DS3.

Anyway, DS2 looks amazing. Wish they would announce a next gen version but I actually think that theres a next gen spiritual sequel in the works anyway. I cant wait to jump in. It may be hard but its almost always fair. Learn from ur mistakes and get better. And nothing tops its immersion...nothing!

Dualshock 4 works with PS3... Sure, you have to be connected to cable but you can just buy one that's long enough. I bought one that's 8 meters. Costs tons but is worth it

Does it work perfectly? No loss of connection/input lag? May do this if it works well!

Really? Never crossed my mind. Gonna try it out. I use my PS3 more than my PS4, yet like more the DS4 than the DS3. So, this will do wonders for me.

As long as DS4 is connected by micro USB (Note: not the same cable as DS3. DS3 used USB 2.0 AKA mini USB. DS4 used USB 3.0 AKA micro USB. The same one that most android phones use)
everything should work. Also note that DS4 does not work with every game. Most games but not every one. And sixaxis doesn't work with DS4 either. Other than that it's awesome. I've been using it with my PS3 and so far it has worked on every game I've tried expect GTA V (and with FIFA 14 you need to use another controller to navigate main menu. Sub menus and the gameplay itself works with it. Also TLOU needs sixaxis if you want to recharge your flashlight.)
To be honest I'm playing some games better with DS4 than DS3

I've been playing dark souls again in anticipation to this. Just can't wait!
