It does look good but as they say in the video, a worry is that there will be enough to keep you interested in the storyline to play all the way through. If it's just hours and hours of constant sneaking and then running away it could get pretty dull, especially as the setting will presumably not allow huge amounts of diversity in the level designs. It certainly looks good though.

The original Alien got away with it tbf. If they get it right could be very good indeed.

You should start at the beginning of the series. Demon's Souls, then try Dark Souls, and then buy Dark Souls 2.

They are absolutely amazing games. The wife has Dark Souls 2 on order for my upcoming birthday :) so Ill talk a little about the first two.

Their difficulty level is always harked on about, and yes they are very very hard, but only ever in a fair way. You will die a lot (and if you play them you will realize that that is part and parcel of the games and a necessity in some cases). When you die it is only ever the fault of the player, never the game being unfair. You can not just wade into a battle with any one enemy or group of enemies as you will die. Even a relatively strong player can be beaten by low level enemies, so its all about leveling up correctly, planning your battles, increasing the power of your weapons (extremely important) and taking your time.

I have player Demon's Souls and Dark Souls about 300+ hours each game. If you want any more input, or advice I will gladly give it too you, but honestly, if you are fan of RPG/Action games, like dark and gritty medieval fantasy, or if you just want to have a challenge that when overcome is EXTREMELY rewarding, get these games.

The thinking mans RPG's, unbelievable re playability and so much fun. The best games I have ever played. Demon's is my favorite, only just and I can not WAIT to get my hands on Dark Souls 2.

Demon and Dark Souls are amazing games mate, brutal games mind, the only game i ever played that i felt a sense of relief from killing bosses like, strangely enough the wife has got me the pre order of Dark Souls 2 for my 40th, can't wait to play it as according to all reviews so far it's a worthy addition to the series

The entire series is cracking mate, its hard but not in a chore way, more in the way you have to play well and focus not faceroll through it, very very rewarding, i love it the missus wasnt too keen though but she prefers stealth games like thief, assassins creed etc
 

I got my PS4 on Sunday with Infamous: Second Son. In the game you play a person who receives super powers and you choose if you are good or evil, It's really good so far, I have 2 of the superpowers and I believe there are 2 more to unlock. Also once you finish the story mode there is a 5 hour additional story missions to download and you can replay it, to see the other story.

The graphics are of course amazing, but interms of the story it's similar to the first Infamous on PS3, though the main missions and side missions are more elaborate
 
Not got my next gen console yet, but right now i prefer Titanfall over Second Son, but i've heard that The last of me will be coming out on PS4 which could help me choose as i didnt own a PS3.
 

The Elder Scrolls Online went, well, online today (if you bought a 5 day pre order).

Totally amazing so far, server hasn't crashed yet, have yet to run into a bug, although there are a couple out there, but it's to be expected with any mmo launch. Would recommend to anyone who enjoyed the single player Elder Scroll games. There is a sub fee though.
