Currently this screams "Addon" to me, it doesn't feel different to DS1 at all yet. Won't judge the game yet though, after 12 minutes of gameplay (six after taking the useless blubber in the studio away).

I agree, there were no significant changes from Dark Souls at all. But for me it's a good thing. You don't have to change a masterpiece.

Hm, I would have appreciated a different looking overworld. It looks like a lot of assets from Dark Souls 1 were reused (maybe a slightly improved resolution) and the general design of the areas we've seen in this trailer also seems familiar to me. I have to say though, the screenshots are leagues ahead of the actual gameplay, I hope it is due to the gameplay being from a late alpha-footage at best.

True. DS2 is supposed to have a brand new engine but in this video it looked exactly like DS1 - even having re-used (or at least very similar) assets like you say.
