Dark Souls III Out Today on PS4

Gaëtan Gireme's Avatar Posted by on Apr 12, 2016 // Community Manager, Bandai Namco

Dark Souls III is finally out today! The long wait to get your hands on the third opus of the great Dark Souls series is now over, and it is time to defy the occupants of the Kingdom of Lothric.

Dark Souls games have always been challenging, and we are sure Dark Souls III will get the best out of the gamer and warrior inside you. No games manage to give you a sense of gratification and self-improvement quite like the Dark Souls series does.

Believe us, some enemies will leave your hands sweaty, but what a sense of accomplishment you will get! Some of the bosses left us tired, but happy to have finally found a way to beat them. The Curse-rotted Greatwood was one of those for us — you’ll understand why in due time!

We are confident that Dark Souls III stays faithful to its roots, while offering new opportunities and new ways for you to explore its unique gameplay. Battle Arts have been introduced to make them feel more unique, and mastering them will make you a greater warrior. You will need to do so, as the enemies are even more diverse than before, each with its own unique combat strategy. You’ll learn them through experience and experimentation. Study the level design, as crafted and intricate as ever, and take any advantages you can get. Some enemies may be more vulnerable to some elements, so think twice before wasting all your firebombs…

Yay! This may be the first ‘souls’ game that I ever play, and I’m looking forward to it. I *loved* Bloodborne, and while this is likely different, I’m now very interested in the style of game.

    If you’ve played Bloodborne you’ve played a Souls game. They share the same DNA. BB was slightly faster paced but overall they’re very similar.

Brilliant! How about a discount on Bloodborne (and DLC) to celebrate? *wink, wink*

Already started the game last night (this morning) and am enjoying it so far, can’t wait to see the kinds of surprises in store for me! Also (like all other Souls games), I’ll be going for that platinum!

It’s funny, I loved Demon’s Souls and Bloodborne but couldn’t get into Dark Souls and completely skipped Dark Souls 2. Weird for me that the series went out on a Dark Souls title since those were the ones I cared the least about. Demon’s Souls is one of the best games ever made. I’d love a Demon’s Souls remaster.

    Demon’s Souls remaster? Umm….yes please.

    If you loved demon souls you need to give dark souls another chance. Its demon souls on steroids. 2 wasn’t as good but 3 seems great so far

There’s already been so much written and talked about this game, I find it amusing that it’s officially coming out today; seems like it came out a month ago :).

I find it repulsive operating a great ps4 system with useless dualshock 4 wireless controllers that snap off the triggers during intense combat!
.
Treat your “real” board of directors with respect.
American’s perform there best when given the tools ( “”WORKING””” Dual Shock 4 Wireless Controllers.

Perform the recall that the World of gamers are waiting for SONY ENTERTAINMENT to deliver ** WORKING DUALSHOCK 4 WIRELESS CONTROLLER TRIGGER BUTTONS.

Fair Warning to all Vita Remote Play Hopefuls:
After the pretty great Remote Play Control Scheme from Bloodborne they actually managed to mess this one up.
L2 and R2 are on the inconventient to impossible to reach upper touchscreen corners (screen, not pad). And the nice and easy to reach lower corners are mapped with L3 and R3.
The back touchpad – which worked great in Bloodborne for the camera recenter and lock-on – is not used at all.

Now, using the upper touchscreen corners for ANYthing is bad enough, but deliberately putting the more used actions on there (Skill/Parry and Heavy Attack as opposed to Center Camera/Lock-on and… nothing?) really adds insult to injury.

Apparently it was the same awful setup for DSII, but after Bloodborne I was sure they had learned something there. Seems like they didn’t.

And I just cannot figure out why they didn’t stick with the Bloodborne Setup. Or at least switched the upper and lower touchscree corners.

My second playthrough of Bloodborne was 90% on Vita. This I couldn’t stand for more than five minutes.

    I find remote play to work just fine and was frankly impressed that they mapped the awful rear touchscreen buttons to the front screen. I’ve had no problems playing at work, or in bed. I absolutely love remote play for this title.
