I like the short trailer they showed at the VGA's.
Symbolically, the trailer hit the right notes. We see a couple long shots of Anor Londo and a couple scenes of a guy getting killed. So we see some connection to Dark Souls. At the same time we see a couple character closeups that suggest a stronger central narrative. I agree with FirstBlood that there are plenty of opaque systems in DS that could benefit from clarification. And those systems, like PvP, get better the more people actually use them.
And I don't think that a stronger central narrative will ruin what makes DS so great. I never played Demon's Souls, but I understand that DS simplified a lot of the opaque and tedious stuff from that game and made it a better overall experience in the process. I see no reason why DS2 can't improve on the formula further.
