I wish I was allowed to talk right now and irrefutably demonstrate just how ridiculous the idea that DS2 PC assets aren't improved over their console counterparts is.

25th is going to be a very good day.

Btw, please don't take this as "It's the vertical slice".It isn't
And I can't say any more. Probably said too much already. There will be an article.

You just got us hyped now!!!What I can say is that no one will be able to complain about not having all the (technical) facts come release day.
More so than about any other PC port in history probably
I wouldn't say that.This sounds like a Sleeping Dogs tier port at the very least.
That's not what's happening.Durante saving froms ass again via approval this time
I wouldn't say that.
That's not what's happening.
I already wish I would have just shut up
I don't understand. Why wouldn't you be allowed to talk and say how cool the game is and hype it up? Seems like it's what they need now with all the "pre-order cancelled I'll wait for sales wah" saltiness. XD
We can mod the lightning.
Still I expected better.

Apart from the pointless enlargement of those low res images, there are also differences in geometry, and the location is actually not structured in the same way: the area shown in the original footage has a source of light that's positioned in the ground area on the left, while in the retail game that section's geography is different, there's no flames and fire lizards on the ground level so they don't cast any light. Thus, the comparison is pointless. A fairer comparison is what you get when you take a few steps back in the retail game and see this:Yep, the only difference is the contrast.
Sorry for the shitty quality, I had to take a photo with the iPhone (there's in fact some processing on the image related to the camera app), but as you can see the point is the same as the gif I reposted: with simple processing you can acquire a similar result to the original footage, there's the same number of light sources and cast shadows.
Anyone thinking this won't just be a console port at 1080p, 60fps is dreaming. Am I right?
I just re-read the agreement I signed, and it's actually simpler to explain than I thought, because I can tell you that I'm working on an article about the technical aspects of Dark Souls II PC for PC Gamer.
And that's all I'll say (and can say) before the article.

So is this thread now moved towards supporting FROM's work with this game?

One of the most challenging, satisfying gaming experiences in the last decade, and people should decline because of some door trimming changes?
Have fun with that.

And from another NWT playthrough, here's how interacting with the archer on the far side generally went - especially the first time:
Of course, this area and these events are still in the release build of the game - but with key differences. In particular:
In the context of not knowing how this went down in the NWT, it's just another dude standing there waiting for you, with a second guy waiting right around the corner to ambush you - a fairly common setup in the Souls games - which is fine. However, knowing how it was originally intended to go is why it's disappointing. Clearing this room now doesn't scratch the same accomplishment itch that it did before (Not to mention the fact that it's just flat out easier now than it was in the NWT - there are fewer enemies in the room now). There's not really a reason to have a torch out, or to light the sconce, or to break the boards over the windows, because you can just see what's in the entire room now. This is by no means the only instance of this type of situation in Dark 2, just the one I have the most vivid memory of because I was so psyched about discovering it.
