Dark Souls - Official Trailer #1

[@pigeon_mccoo]

I feel like if anyone saw this trailer for the first time in 2011, they would think the antagonist was Nito

[@JeffGranja27]

Or the black knight in the end

[@daud1952]

Lmao most of the time we are the antagonist of all the souls serie

[@atitana]

I mean who is the antagonist of dark souls? The Four Kings aren't really bad guys but you need their souls, Seath went crazy, Both gwyn and the witch of izalith are dead technically, Nito is really the only Antagonist left who would actually have a motive to stop you from achieving the "good ending". Even if you were to argue that he isn't the antagonist if you choose the light ending, from a thematic point of view, Nito is the antagonist to you because he represents Death and you are the Chosen Undead, you represent Undeath, his antithesis.

[@js100serch]

Reflecting back on this trailer, I think we had no idea of what we were watching. We couldn't even imagine what this would turn out to be. Just some studio called FromSoftware making a dark fantasy game. Miyazaki's name wasn't even in the trailer. And here we are, celebrating the newly released trailer for Elden Ring, after an entire trilogy of Dark Souls games, after two amazing new IPs sharing the same DNA, after a Remake of Demon's Souls, after 10 years of Souls games. Yes, we had no idea.

[@fuzzy3101]

currently im doing a task at school where i have to give a description for a game that did a massive impact on game design and etc and my first pick was dark souls 1 and the rest of the souls series, a true work of art and definitely deserves to be in the spot of the greatest of all time.

[@Emreakca-]

uhh hello? demon's souls???

[@Lowlightt]

Speak for yourself. Fromsoft made tons of games before Dark Souls. King's Field and of course Armored Core. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4jOmHmaisiUr7s As well as a slew of 3d action games on PS2. There catalogue is huge. Metal Wolf Chaos comes to mind, which was an Xbox only title that never released in the US.

[@marcocaru]

this took Fromsoft from a small fan loved company to a household name.

[@SoupEmperor]

this is the only game that I truly regard as a piece of art. there is nothing like it, and instead of just straight up throwing its more than brilliant lore at your face, they leave you to put the puzzle together yourself. for me, dark souls is without a doubt the best game ever created as of now.

[@bluesky7782]

+Tim Meijer does it have online?i havent even played an dark souls game but i think dark souls 3 will be nice.can i hear your opinion?

[@SoupEmperor]

ΓΙΩΡΓΟΣ Λ If you plan on getting DS3, I'd advise playing 1 and 2 first (Demon Souls is not really necessary to understand the story) because they're not only fantastic games, you'll also need to get used to the tremendous difficulty of the series. Also if you value lore (which you should with a souls game), it'll be more fun to do those 2 first.

[@SoupEmperor]

ΓΙΩΡΓΟΣ Λ Oh and to answer the question: I'm absolutely stoked for Dark Souls 3 :D! I just hope FromSoftware will be able to make it as good, if not better, than the other 2

[@ikariyabiollante867]

I like Elder Scrolls a bit better, but Dark Souls is still one of the best ever. Elder Scrolls just has a bit more fleshed out lore, going back just as far, if not farther, than the Souls series lore. I also like the world designs of ES better, as the world design in Dark Souls seemed a bit linear to me. Yes, you could accomplish many objectives out of order, but in areas like the Undead Burg and Anor Londo, it just seemed a bit too "point A to point B", just with a few curveballs thrown in to maximize the time you had to spend in those areas. But, like I said, Dark Souls is one of the best franchises out there, and I wouldn't say that if I didn't mean it. Besides, Skyrim can't give me the feels like the Sif fight can

[@ikariyabiollante867]

Sinceramente, yo como joven jugador jamás he podido jugar algo igual a esto, ni creo poder hacerlo, este juego marcó mi vida y formó un antes y después en mi mentalidad, en mí propia forma de ver las cosas, siempre fuí fan del género RPG y de otros juegos donde pudiera controlar a pj a tercera persona, pero cuando conocí este juego, todo cambió, esto no solo fué diferente a todo lo que había jugado, fué y se sigue manteniendo como una obra única que solo ella te puede dar una inmersión totalmente excepcional. Más que un juego... Esta obra se ve que se hizo con amor a excepción de su segunda mitad donde se notó que no tuvieron otra opción que la de apresurarse, pero a pesar de eso no dejó de ser el juego tan perfecto para mí, ideal en todos los sentidos, aquel juego que me transmitía una sensación apenas lo iniciaba y me quedaba con el misterioso silencio de la pantalla de inicio hasta que iniciaba al personaje, luego el oír solo los lentos pasos y pisadas metálicas de mi pesado caballero entre el silencio y solo los ruidos del aire recorrer por cada corredor, sabía que algo me esperaba, sabía que comenzaría un viaje en inmersión totalmente diferente a todo lo que había vivido... Dónde ví que... Dark souls 1 es y será más que un juego... Es un mensaje.
