X360: Microsoft is ready to reveal the next-gen Xbox, but Dark Souls 2′s director says there is ‘no intent’ to have From Software’s sequel on the new consoles.
Dark Souls 2 remains a divisive entry in the landmark RPG franchise, but Hidetaka Miyazaki believes it led to the success of Elden Ring.
DS2 was fine. While there was a bit of recycling assets or ideas for bosses, it was a bigger more open Dark Souls. The Fume knight boss is one of the hardest bosses in the series until Sekiro and Elden Ring were released.
The problem with Dark Souls 2 was the same problem when a different director takes over for a sequel to an outstanding movie. It typically (there are exceptions) doesn’t have the feel and vision of the previous movie.
I wouldn’t say Dark Souls 2 is terrible. Had Dark Souls 1 never been a thing and we got this, I think it would have been praised more. The problem is it didn’t have the Miyazaki touch to it and felt pretty derivative. The soundtrack is a banger though.
And it will happen in the future when he doesn’t touch them as he is planning on.
I like DS 2, might even be my favorite of the 3. But it's a hard sell, there's so many obscure things you need to do to make it an enjoyable experience. So always find it hard to recommend, but it is worth the trouble.

The Nerd Stash: “Whether you’re here to gloat about your victories or to see what the fuss is about, we present to you the hardest bosses in the Souls series.”
I beat them all with my fists and no hits were taken. What do you mean you don't believe me? I used a guitar hero controller!!!
All the bosses are only from Dark Souls. No Bloodborne, Sekiro, Elden Ring, or Demon Souls
I think this is a big mistake. Dark Souls 2 will look really dated next to the next-gen games we are about to see revealed at Microsoft's event tonight.
I don't care personally. As long as they sort the framerate and the few graphical glitches Dark souls had I'm not too bothered. It was the art direction and design that made Dark souls look incredible, not the polygons
Why the hell not,.. release it in 1080P 60fps with better textures and lots of AA and Aniso,.. That would just be amazing
Would have been an epic gaming moment to pop a new DS2 disk into a new ps4.
They say it might not come out this year so it really should of been next gen.
