Agreed, I was put off by the editing of the trailer, which I’m not a fan of, but all the other things you mentioned look great to me as well. As far as the GRRM influence, I don’t see anything that looks egregious to me.
My first thought was get that chainmail off my lips now.

I made a joke about being this being a Sackboy game, but the more that I think about it, I am increasingly believing that instead of being a zombie in this one you’re going to be a puppet.
Does this guy have medieval earbuds
I was informed today, by a prominent dark souls youtuber, that the horse has a double jump.

at 1:35 in the trailer it looks like the horse does a shinespark

Had to look up shinespark because I’d never heard of it. This illustration I found is un-illuminating:

If we get a literal horse shinespark where you make the horse crouch to store it then I promise to buy 10 copies of this game

i looked at the trailer and said “oh it’s Dark Souls”. i mean not that i don’t think people who like these games won’t buy another Dark Souls, but i don’t know if they were expecting it to be something other than Dark Souls. i mean i would want it to be something different if i were more invested i’d imagine, but long ago i lost my ability able to relate to or understand the expectations of the average consumer of videogame media.

I was expecting dark souls with maybe one or three hyrule fields and that’s basically what the trailer implies I think.
I reckon I’d rather see them branch out a bit from usual souls template too, but I’m not really complaining if it’s just more of the same

i was also expecting that. seems likely that Bamco would have pushed hard for a dark souls 4, Miyazaki would have pushed back equally hard to let that series die, and as a result we get this gimmick compromise of a new not-dark-souls property but with GRRM’s name attached for extra visibility. guess i’m saying i don’t really think it was a match made in heaven.

the more i see of the combat physics the more convinced i am of this. may the whacking-swords-into-tree-trunks gamefeel reign supreme

Fast travel was in literally every from game since Demon’s Souls, so it would be weirder if this didn’t have it.
