I'm serious, you guys. You might be all, "Oh, it's just a trailer, I can handle it. How bad can it be? I don't even have to play it." My friends, that's where you're wrong. See, you'll still have to push play, and when you do, your life will change forever. Such is the power of Dark Souls, the upcoming spiritual successor to PS3 death gauntlet Demon's Souls. For those who haven't yet dared the dungeons of Boletaria, a crash course: Demon's Souls is one of the cruelest games of our generation, punishing players for every mistake with swift and brutal death. Dark Souls promises the same tough-love gimmick, and it bares its teeth--which, inexplicably, appear to be mostly concentrated in its torso--in the latest trailer.
From what we can see here, Dark Souls looks similar to its predecessor in terms of gameplay and aesthetics. New classes, environments, and enemies are included, of course, but at the end of the day, this is shaping up to be the old-school dungeon crawler you've come to know and... grudgingly respect. Did I mention the dragon whose body is made of teeth? 'Cause that's in there. I'll let you take a look at the rest when you're good and ready. Make sure your Soul Tendency is where you want it, equip your best items, and watch the trailer... if you dare!
Yep, this is gonna murder you hardcore, and you're gonna love it. Dark Souls has an Oct. 4 release date, so you'd better start cleaning off your broadsword now.
