Anything other than DLC or a sequel announcement would be lame.

New content >>>>>>>>>>> ports

Always.

It amazes me that anyone would think otherwise.

 

[Kusagari]

Gun Souls by Slant Six

 

[Kyoufu]

Why not?

I think he's basing it on the broken P2P system they used. Messages themselves are very useful provided everybody can see them.

They're not going to announce a sequel on Facebook.

 

[Gilgamesh]

It amazes me that anyone would think otherwise.

Really? It amazes you?

Even if the person only plays games on PC?

 

[Corto]

Japan shooting for greatness! PC port FTW.

 

[Anth0ny]

If they announce a PC version, I'd upgrade my PC to make it playable at a stable 60fps in a second.

 

[Persona7]

People complaining about Blighttown probably never got to Lost Izalith. Now thats a shitty area.

The whole game was practically a slideshow. Just like Demons Souls.

 

[Kafel]

"something"


OST, artbook, DLC or something



Vita port would be dope though.

 

[Quote]

I'd love some DLC. I'd hopefully bring back the community a bit too. I'd buy a Vita just for a Souls game too.

Being a little dramatic aren't we?

 

[Maedhros]

Liked the page. Don't want to buy a PS3 yet.

 

[MRORANGE]

even if the pc version is released, you know there going to do something backwards like adding GFWL instead of steamworks.

 

[Geek]

Huh. Wonder if this is just a localization of Enterbrain's Dark Souls Design Works book...

 

[morningbus]

even if the pc version is released, you know there going to do something backwards like adding gamespy instead of steamworks.

Fixed for eventual accuracy.

That would be the worst punch in the dick ever.

 

[GameE]

Im so sick of using facebook to promote stuff like this >_>

 

[StunandStab]

Even if the person only plays games on PC?

Well, yeah... It's weird to me that anyone would play games only on PC and complain about console only games remaining on console rather than just buying a console to play it

 

[MRORANGE]

Fixed for eventual accuracy.

oh god, your right :|

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

lol @ GFWL and gamespy comments :-D

Let's hope it is PC!

 

[sankt-Antonio]

Would buy vita for souls.

 

[Baha]

even if the pc version is released, you know there going to do something backwards like adding GFWL instead of steamworks.

Maybe...*sniff* maybe....but I'd still buy it anyway

 

[giant_frying_pan]

I'll let others like it for me. But if it's a PC release announcement, I'll buy day one.

 

[MRORANGE]

Well, yeah... It's weird to me that anyone would play games only on PC and complain about console only games remaining on console rather than just buying a console to play it

maybe they prefer playing console games on PC for a better visual experience?

 

[StunandStab]

Maybe they do, and that's fine. What if it's never coming to PC, though? Why not just buy a console?

 

[Emitan]

Because Namco has been making a whole lot of smoke and noise about a PC version? And why would someone spend hundreds of dollars on a console in 2012 for one game?

 

[Draft]

Dark Souls PC excitement is mostly because of how shitty Dark Souls performs on consoles. Even during the best of times it's a little sluggish, and there are long stretches where the framerate flirts with the teens. That's pretty bad for an action game, but people accept it because the overall design is so good.

Take that design and pair it with a platform that cranks out a blistering 60 fps? For-fucking-get about it.

Also of course at this point in the generation every hardcore gamer has abandoned the consoles and moved onto the PC, so it's a shame that one of the best hardcore games is stuck in the console ghetto.

 

[throwawayname]

first post nails it as always.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

Dear Lord, let it be a game for Vita.

 

[PatzCU]

I would be all over this on PC.

But what if there's a twist?

Spoiler

Origin Only

Well, they would probably play other games, too. Consoles are cheap compared to PCs anyway.
I didn't know there had been any rumors about a PC version of Dark Souls, so I guess that's a good reason for any PC only gamer to wait.
If they already own a console, though, I don't see why they wouldn't rather have new content, even if a PC port would obviously be superior to the original game

 

[Dog Problems]

I just bought this on the 360 so of course it'll be the PC announcement. That seems to be how my luck is. Oh well, will double-dip to show support for a great game.

 

[cozo]

would buy souls for VITA.

Of course.

LOL

 

[James Woods]

Remember the shit storm when this happened with a BF3 trailer?

I guess it's ok when the game isn't published by EA.

[mxgt]

aaah just fucking tell us already

vita? day one
PC version? day one
DLC? day one

whatever it is I'll buy it

 

[nero2082]

they wouldn't hype DLC through facebook... /sherlock'd

Because I can play the game again with 120fps, 1080p 4xSSAA and 16 AF.

 

[Chavelo]

Can we please not turn this thread into a PC vs Console shitfest? Let's just move on and complain about liking things on facebook to reveal shit and the possibility of something being revealed for Dark Souls. PC port? DLC? A pretty picture? Let's speculate people!

Spoiler

Also, you're doing it wrong if you choose one setup for gaming. This is NeoGAF. You're posting in the gaming section. You most likely play video games. Why do you try to make your purchase make you feel better about yourself?

The hell is wrong with you, people.

 

[Songbird]

Shut the hell up.

lulz

Of course.

LOL

Can't be helped when people are still living in the past.

 

[morningbus]

There are plenty of reasons to want a game on PC. Besides smoothing out any performance issues, running at 60+ FPS, and having a higher native resolution, the fact that a PC version basically guarantees indefinite forwards compatibility should be enough to want the port.

It will be the best possible version of the game preserved for the ages. Why wouldn't a fan want that?

 

[KoreanBarbecue]

Screw that Facebook "Like" stuff. In a just world, no one would "like" the page and thus the announcement would never be made. But we don't live in a just world.

But but but the game being on PC would betray From's original vision! Yeah these arguments I've seen are silly.

Troof.

Dark Souls is the rare kind of game I can see myself revisiting ten years from now, and I'd much rather be able to play it properly on a gaming PC then dust off some long-dead console. Over the past year I've been catching up with some classic games from 10+ years ago, and I've played most of them in 1080p, 60fps, with scaled interfaces and fixes for various bugs and balancing issues that the OG devs were unable to fix. DS deserves that.

See, this guy gets it.

 

[Konosuke]

Having just bought Dark Souls for 15€ a week ago, I'm down for DLC or a PC version. I want to give them my money.

 

[kfpkiller]

By living in the past you mean already played the game six months ago?

i sure as hell would want it, as a huge fan of the series. if i had to play it with a mouse and keyboard though... no thanks. has to be played with a Dualshock or a very similar controller, IMO.

From is small; either they make a PC port instead of a new game, or they outsource and we get an underwhelming port. I would rather they use their bandwidth to make something new than manage porting something old.
