Thankfully the person behind this video is a bit more skilled unlike myself, allowing viewers to actually see some of the new content that From are hoping to bring to the sequel. Included is a look at some of the new combat changes, new enemies and new weapons in-game.
In related Dark Souls 2 news, publisher Namco Bandai has revealed that actor and comedian Peter Serafinowicz, known best for his role as "Pete" in Shaun of the Dead, will be offering his voice as a new character in Dark Souls 2. Serafinowicz also revealed his true identity as a hardcore gamer, calling Dark Souls 2 "the most engrossing game I've ever played," and "the best game of all time."
Peter will dub a new character named Mild-mannered Pate. Players will encounter this mysterious man during his journey in search of treasure. He may teach players a few tricks of his own in order to survive during their quest. Will they dare to trust this enigmatic character?Dark Souls 2 will be available on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 come March 13th. A PC release is expected sometime shortly after, with From Software hoping "to release the PC version in the same window."

most of what they have shown so far, especially early on doesn't feel that much like it - but that was spot on
also the guy playing is clearly new to the game or trying to to die because he was pretty s***

lets hope it isnt a huge steaming mess like the 1st one that required 3rd party graphics support and was unplayable with a keyboard and mouse

Pretty sure that there were two big reasons for that:
Firstly, they built it with the thought that it would only be on 360/PS3. I don't know why they didn't keep higher res textures (I would assume that they'd have higher quality ones then compress them down to fit on each console), but hey. Mistakes can be made.
Secondly, Japan isn't big on the PC demographic. I don't think they know much about PC development.
Not apologising for them or anything, just playing devil's advocate. I'm pretty sure I've seen quotes of them saying they're developing with PC in mind, then scaling down to the other consoles, so hopefully we should have a more fully featured PC version. The first certainly sold well enough on PC and built a lot of hype, even through all the negative press.
