The Dark Souls 3 fans can enjoy as the next few days are going to be very good because they would have a new thrilling game experience through the first 4 PlayStation Network stress.
The new combat stances, which can increase the flexibility of combat, are also touched upon and classes get a run down – say hello to the Northern Warrior, a fast character with light armour and a “warcry” skill to boost damage. Beyond that, there’s also the return of the drop-in/drop-out co-op feature – a saving grace, if you’re stuck on a particularly nasty boss fight – while invasions by other players also feature. All of the aforementioned gameplay images can be seen below in our gallery. For those wishing to take part in the beta, it is available for download from the North American PlayStation Store, but fans who didn’t sign up during September 18 through October 4 will not be eligible for selection to play.
Bandai Namco has recently announced that Dark Souls 3 will be using YEBIS 2, a well-known post-effects middleware by Silicon Studios, enabling bloom, motion blur, depth of field, as well as optical simulation of camera lenses and more. With any luck, we’ll be treated to more in-game footage sooner rather than later, so as to supplement the gameplay reveal trailer shown nearly two months ago.
