Could be much harder. I'll try at some point, but first I want to get this ready to release. With selectable rendering resolution and all that jazz.

I did. Took me 23 minutes, without source access. (I dedicate this to the people that told me I'm unreasonable when I lambasted From for not doing something that takes a few hours at most in the other thread)
(This is rendering at 2048x1440 noAA btw.)
I'll make a thread when it's in a state ready to release
Holy shit dude. This is crazy. You're making from look really bad here.

Durante is sex-tier, it's official.
Like I said, it probably wouldn't take more than an hour to fix yet the devs didn't even bother to do it...

That still looks really down-resed and shitty.

Assets are low res.

Durante hells fn yeah!
I wonder where all the people that defended this sloppy port went. They just up and scattered for some reason.
Its still console assets. Thats honestly fine. Maybe next time there could be more.

GOt my key as well, yahhooo!
Durante you're the fucking savior of the Dark Souls PC version. Thank you thank you thank you!
Looks amazing!

The wall textures and the helmet look good. Lets work with what we have.
Durante, I dont know how you feel about tags, but I think you deserve one for this. Soul Savior or something lol.
Honestly, at this point, unless something turns up later in the game, the only explanation is that they just don't give a fuck. It's that simple.Nice work. Make sure you tell From what you're doing and they might actually have an official patch.
Well, maybe, but it's the "shitty" of a normal console port, not the OMGFWTF of vanilla.
Well, admittedly, I spent a few hours this week preparing the interceptor and thinking about all the stuff that could be needed. Also tested it on other games.
Of course, you wouldn't even need an interceptor if you were the developer of the game!

Well it's not going to fix any low res textures. One step at a time. This is still great news.

Not seeing a big difference on the res fix, to be honest. Still pretty blurry, and I'm not even talking about the textures.
Its no where near as muddy as before.

Any word on a performance hit, Durante? I have the feeling the big reason for the locked framebuffer is that the game takes a huge performance hit on anything above 1024x720.

As mentioned, the art assets are low res.
Anyone able to pre-load using the GMG code? Maybe restart Steam?
Well, I haven't seen anything other than locked 30 FPS at 4 times the resolution. I'm running a 660.

No wonder I want to have his babies.
Also, I activated the key on Steam. Can't wait!

Some of the effects are probably still rendered at a smaller framebuffer, that's why there is some pixelation. But those textures man. The higher res truly unlocked some potential.
Why is it "Japanese development" and not just From? Plenty of Japanese developers have done great work on PC.

I'm starting to think Durante is right, they just didn't give a fuck.

Tag Durante! he deserves: HERO
Not sure if this has been posted already, but my physical copy arrived today.
Comes with an artbook, making of DVD, 23 track Soundtrack, some postcards and a poster of the front cover.
Maybe I should have just gone with a physical copy.
They've put more effort into the packaging than into the porting...still, that's a really nice pack.Not sure if this has been posted already, but my physical copy arrived today.

He said that he spent some time preparing for it last week so the 23 minute figure is probably just today's work. Still impressive, no doubt - not trying to undermine his work at all.

Thanks to Durante I might actually buy this now.
