This is a full playthrough of the Dark Souls 2 Network Test, also known as Dark Souls 2 Beta. This small demo was available on the PSN on Oct. 12 of 2013, 5 months before the final release, and was only accessible to a limited amount of players who could only play during the 2 hours the servers were online. After the test period was over players could no longer access this demo and for many years it's been pretty much lost and forgotten until a patch was made to make the demo accessible again.
This patched version of the game is running on the PS3 emulator RPCS3. It's running in 1080p 60fps, although due to the limitations of my PC the footage contains some frame drops and stutters since emulating both the game and recording on the same system can be very taxing on my system. In other words if you don't plan on playing the game and recording at the same time you'll have much better performance than what is shown in this video using the emulator. It's also possible to run the patched version of the game on a hacked PS3 though I have no idea how to set it up. I also have reshade on top of the game so it looks a little bit different.
This is just a playthrough with no commentary. The demo takes place in Huntsman Copse and features two bosses, I believe I showed the entire demo in the video without going too much into details. I'll be making a commentary video next detailing all of the small differences between this demo and the final release.
