That information is best left to a walkthrough, because it is spoiler-tastic. The demonstrator then told me exactly what I would need to do to access the new content. I plainly stated that when viewing the trailer I saw a giant tooth-encrusted hand seize the player in the Darkroot Basin, the area containing the Hydra and Dusk from Oolacile. You'll have to discover it like you would the Great Hollow or Ash Lake. Of course, this is Dark Souls, so you won't be able to access Oolacile from a simple menu screen. He did confirm my suspicions that the new Artorias of the Abyss arc would be accessible about a third of the way through the game, depending on what path you choose. We talked about the unique nature of Dark Souls New Game Plus, and how extra content wouldn't work if it was just tacked-on at the end of the game. I asked about the upcoming extra content for the PC version, which will be available as DLC for consoles.

I made the best of the situation, and picked the brain of of one of the gentlemen displaying the game.

(Hint: Aim for the tail.) I was devastated to realize content from the upcoming 'Prepare to Die' edition wasn't playable. Two monitors played looped footage of one of the game's new bosses. Despite all the eye candy, on Day One my attention was focused on the simple Dark Souls banner at the Namco Bandai booth. Borderlands 2, Aliens Colonial Marines, Skylanders Giants, and the Big Three come to mind.
