Interview at Polygon:

The Souls games have about as picky an audience as they come. How can Dark Souls 3, the franchise's next installment which was announced at E3 2015, satisfy the divided fans of the first two titles? Also, is archery going to be terrible again? We talked with Bandai-Namco's Michael Chang and Nicholas O'Leary to find out.
and a preview by DaveControl:



Thanks Couch for the link.

More information.

I have a feeling we'll be even worse off for Dark Souls III news than we were for II.

Dark Souls II news came slowly and vaguely just like this but when they finally showed some gameplay footage in an area still being worked on people went nuts about the "downgrade" being the worst thing ever with little mention about how much better performance the final version will get on lower end platforms.

We can be pretty sure they won't make that same mistake again simply by showing us nothing. :/

Why on earth didn't FromSoftware just let this guy show the actual interview footage? How stupid and pretentious.

It was evidently a hastily put together audio interview and translated by an in between person as well, so I don't think it's pretentious as much as it is "patchwork". It doesn't tell us particularly much, though I do love hearing that the "wrap around" world design is going back to the first game in its inspiration. Nonetheless, thanks for posting Hidden+Couch!

I think perhaps a more interesting and wide ranging E3 impressions coverage of DS3 comes from youtube lore speculator Vaatividya. Maybe the 'Watch will post that one in the not so distant future. :) (Link sent it; hopefully it is suitable, otherwise someone can post it here…)
