Great confirmation! Didn't read the thread, but is it confirmed for Steam?

Why do people keep asking this? Name one AAA non-EA game in the last 3 years that hasn't come out on Steam.

[Teknoman]

I am going to play it with a rockband guitar.

[Orayn]

I'll map attacks to TrackIR movements.

Nod furiously for normal attacks.

Whip your hair back and forth for heavy attacks.

[Wanny]

AFAIK Witcher 2 is totally playable with kb/m... What's the panic people?

StarCraft II

"Why are you guys so butthurt about people playing it the way they want ffs?"

So much offended consolites on every page. It's like choice offends them or something. If someone wants to play with a Flight stick they are well in their rights to as far as I'm concerned, if some wants to mod easy mode then let them, if someone wants to turn that vigina boss into an actual pussy then by all means let them. Stop being upset over choice.

StarCraft II

Hah, OK, non-EA, non-Blizzard. heh.

[Tain]

I can't imagine this game being a real issue for WASD, but WASD isn't a one size fits all thing. Analog movement can be important, and we can't have every game fundamentally reworked for mouse look. Bayonetta or Ninja Gaiden 2 with WASD would not be ideal.

[Kintaro]

I will wait to see how the port is handled (which should blow away the console versions with such ease...). If the port is awesome, then FUCK YEAH!

[MRORANGE]

Hah, OK, non-EA, non-Blizzard. heh.

Minecraft.

But it all seriousness it will be on Steam, I don't think Namco can screw this up.

It's now a question of Steamworks or no Steamworks.

It depends whether camera control is vital to movement, if it is then KB+M is fine, if not then yes you need an analogue stick (like most action games and platformers).

While I agree, keyboard mapping is still necessary for basic functionality. There are many games that flatly recommend using a controller, but none that I know that simply deny keyboard functionality. The obvious reason for this is that you cannot give people a game that's unplayable without a peripheral on the PC. Even Street Fighter and games obviously made for controllers have such functionality built in.

So, if this does well, what are the odds of us seeing Demon's Souls as well eventually?

dont think bamcos dumb enough to not make it a steamworks game least i hope not

Leave Gaping Dragon alone :(

Zero. Sony owns Demon's Souls.

Virtually nil as Sony owns the rights to it.

I apologize, I was sort of asking if it would be full Steam or Steamworks. But I don't put anything past pubs these days.

[Gilby]

Perfect timing, I should have a new PC by then! C:

[wutwutwut]

Fair enough. I'm going to bet it's Steamworks simply to get a great networking service for free and protect against the pre-release piracy/street date breaking From apparently hates so much :)

The alternative is GFWL, but no one else has started using it in the last year, I think.

[DeadFalling]

Any clue where these new bosses will be? Hopefully they replace some of the copy and paste shit in the last areas...

[Inanna]

I hope the new bosses would also come out on the console.

[Cloudius12]

as other may have said, I hope the new bosses comes with a new area as well.

Too early to know (still have four months to go?). Namco Bandai's most recent console to PC port (Ridge Racer) is Steamworks.

[Beerman462]

So PC traded Witcher 2 for Dark Souls?? Everyone wins!!! I hope sharing content across all platforms keeps up into the new consoles.

I hope the new bosses would also come out on the console.

They would be dumb not to add them as DLC a month before the PC release.

[Teknoman]

Four months?

[HoosTrax]

Four months?

Well however many months are between now and August.

[zlatko]

1:1? No fixes for Blight Town sucking?

Idk if I can replay through the game knowing B.Town exists. :(

[Zeliard]

A higher, steady framerate fixes Blighttown. Blighttown is otherwise awesomeness wrapped in a bun of kick-ass.

A blight upon all those who think otherwise.

[Lost Fragment]

Blighttown is my favorite area. I'm jealous of all the peeps who'll get to experience it first with a decent framerate :(

[VindictiveGnome]

Please have mod support!

[Rygar 8 Bit]

can just run through blight town only takes 30 seconds to run from the ladder to the first bonfire then another couple minutes to run past everything to the bonfire in the tunnel

[iirate]

Zero. Sony owns Demon's Souls.

Virtually nil as Sony owns the rights to it.

I really should have known, especially considering no one else brought the game up in this thread... =(

[Teknoman]

No I mean I had no idea we actually had a target release date. August is abit far <_>

[Orayn]

1:1? No fixes for Blight Town sucking? Idk if I can replay through the game knowing B.Town exists. :(

I thought Blighttown was actually a really cool area. It had a brutal, nerve-wracking design, yes, but it would have been one of my favorites if the framerate were better.

[Ghost_Protocol]

Outstanding. After this and the Xenoblade localization, I'm convinced anything is possible with enough fan support.

Oh, Persona 4 arena comes out in August too. Gonna be a good month.

[zlatko]

That's what I mean. The frame rate made me rage in that area.

Also, I'm prepared to rage at those two filthy cock sucking archers that you have to bum rush on the side of the castle. Fucking hated that part.

[HoosTrax]

The release date was mentioned in the OP, heh. Although it does make me curious at which exact moment they decided to go ahead with the port, and how long a "typical", non-XNA, pc port takes.

[Teknoman]

Oh wow, you're right. lol glossed right over that when I read new bosses.

[Rodney McKay]

Exclusive to Beamdog!

God I hope not.

Framerate should not be a problem any more. The Phyre engine has shown itself to be reasonably efficient and VERY pretty on PC thanks to the DIRT series.

Sounds like you've had at least a small change of heart on this topic. :)

[Zeliard]

Hehe those guys. :P

I remember having no trouble with them at all because I just naturally went over to the right side first, and that's apparently the side to go on if you want far less hassle with them. I ended up just killing the archer on the right, then went over to the guy on the left to get that loot behind him (which I think was just some souls).

A lot of people tried to go for the left guy first and I think that's when they fuck you up.

[Mechanized]

That's what I mean. The frame rate made me rage in that area. Also, I'm prepared to rage at those two filthy cock sucking archers that you have to bum rush on the side of the castle. Fucking hated that part.

That part is really easy once you know the trick.

[Defuser]

I really should have known, especially considering no one else brought the game up in this thread... =(

It's been brought up multiple times in this thread.

[PetriP-TNT]

I really hope that the new bosses will be DLC on consoles too. I'd definitely double dip but I don't have a PC to run it with...

[zlatko]

That part is really easy once you know the trick.

Fuck you no it isn't lol. :(

I rushed up there as fast as I could to get the right archer and bop him before he can get me, but sometimes I would fall off even though my whole body is on the ledge, sometimes I would die because I had to guard his insane amount of blows and then get broken, other times I died when I tried to hit him and just fell below, heck even died one time I was about to kill him because left archer hit me in the back with an arrow.

That was the only part of the game where I felt a lot of the engagement came down to luck, even though I knew what I had to do.

[Kyoufu]

I did that part first time and never looked back. Sucks for you :(

I did have a whale of a time trying to get to the Dragon Covenant though. My ass was so sore afterwards.

[Persona7]

The narrow passes in blight town are fucking annoying because the game glitches and sometimes decides to just throw you off the side for no reason.

[the_prime_mover]
