Hey guys. Press images at 1440p, for your blurry pleasure (To be honest, doesn't look as bad as I expected)

3DarkSouls confirmed.

 

[Iztli]

Oh god. I want this on PC so bad... but the port =( I really hope there's a community fix and that performance is okay enough to crank the resolution.

This game is still a masterpiece even if you were to play it at 380p. Those of you going in for the first time just set aside some time and get ready to enjoy something truly special. Forget about resolutions for once and...

"Thou will understand one day."

Will wait till December for a Retail GOTY Edition of this or something similar.

Looks insane!

I'm off of school on friday. First time ever playing Dark Souls, I've tried to keep myself as spoiler free as possible. My body is ready.

Just found some more Dark Souls content at gametrailers, 2 new videos walking through some of the new features at Gamescom.

EDIT: That is the same content I watched on gamespot a few days ago.

WHATT is that shopped or real?

 

[kvn]

Hahaha. Image quality is fucking horrible.

 

[Zeth]

I had originally planned to build a new PC for this (despite the issues) but finances didn't come through in time.

To everyone playing Dark Souls for the first time: Enjoy! Truly one of the greatest games ever made.

Don't think so. It's from here

D'awwwww!

Looks legit.

Edit: Holy art direction!

 

[Zaventem]

Why didn't we get some of these pics WTF?

 

[artorias the abysswalker]

It just looks like his left arm is broken. That's why he's one-handing his sword.

dont think thats the only thing at play by a long shot...looks like something else is going on...his stance, movements are really unnatural.

 

[Sullichin]

Yeah it looks like he got possessed by something. Idk, I didn't watch the whole fight.


I think my first character for the PC version will be a gravelord... with the intention to infect as many worlds (new players and old) with BP enemies.

 

[Bomber Bob]

My 1080p screen is ready!

TTYLXOXO

PS3 release on 10/25 confirmed?

I like that map and box, just nice and clean.

 

[Guevara]

^I wish we'd get something like that in the U.S., but I bet we won't

 

[K.Jack]

Holy fuck the IQ of those screenshots just can't be real....

I want to buy this, really hope it gets released over here.

I'm gonna import the shit out of that when it comes out.

i really hope he is saveable....I dont even know how that'd be possible but I can hope
I'm pumped that the dlc is fairly lengthy...I've seen several boss pics and games areas, seems pretty big, I cannot wait to stumble into the new zones

Oh please let this come out in the U.S.

Reckon 360 saves will be transferrable to PC somehow like Skyrim savegames were?

 

[Wickerbasket]

Very doubtful.

Edit: Actually, on second thought, it's probably best to wait and see.

 

[zkylon]

Dark Souls PC is a nearsightedness simulator. They should sell prescription glasses bundled with it...

Hah, jokes on them! I don't usually wear my glasses when gaming anyway!

Spoiler

Unfortunately I'm short sighted, the closer it is the better I can see it.

o_o shit, i want this.

 

[ironcreed]

Might just be the most amazing dragon I have ever seen. This new content looks incredible.

 

[mxgt]

The image quality of the screenshots in the OP..

I knew it would be utterly terrible, but seeing Dark Souls like that.. ugh.

 

[IblisGinjo]

Is this playable at GamesCom? Hoping to see some hands-on impressions and maybe direct-feed footage. I'll probably end up buying it anyway.

I keep looking around for some footage but can't find anything.

Only thing I can find is the Namco PR people playing through, but that is prerecorded footage.

 

[Raide]

Gamesradar has a walkthrough atm. In HD is looks really nice. Not like the random screens that have been posted.

No they do look bad,very bad.

I can't believe they are actually shipping this.

 

[Raide]

Further to the Gamesradar footage. Love the fact they died several times but did not want to show "You Died" and they even had to use a debug menu to make a boss easier to kill.

Holy christ, Artorias looks like an absolute nightmare to fight.

 

[DarkSoul520]

Holy christ, Artorias looks like an absolute nightmare to fight.

I'm not watching the footage because I don't want the fight spoiled, but this comment makes me excited as hell to fight him.

 

[Raide]

Holy christ, Artorias looks like an absolute nightmare to fight.

They don't show the other bosses but Artorias does look awesome. Well done From. More of this!

 

[DarkSoul520]

Question for those watching the footage, are there new themes for the bosses? I assume they wouldn't reuse old music, but was curious.

 

[Alucrid]

Why the hell is the DLC coming out so late?

 

[indigo-cyclops]

That fucking art...so amazing . I'm so looking forward to the new content folks.

 

[Defunkled]

It was hard to tell over them talking, but I think the boss theme for Artorias is new. Unfortunately they didn't show the fight against the chimera.

 

[Totobeni]

Well, I'll be seeing you guys on here on a couple months, post patch hopefully. :/ if GW2 wasn't happening I'd probably just bite the bullet but I just can't justify this port for that price eating up my time during that month. It's just too much to ask.

The art is just fucking fantastic, what a style this game has.

since this is a GFWL title we'll be very lucky if we get any patch.

 

[forest]

Why the hell is the DLC coming out so late?

It's 10 hours long. Probably takes time to make new levels and enemies I reckon...


Edit:I AM SO FUCKING EXCITED! I've been looking for an excuse to play this again!

 

[Alex]

I'm sort of in semi-apologist mode about it, because while the framebuffer shit sucks, I'm still really glad this exists. For 30 bucks at GMG, which includes a 15 dollar DLC pack I'd have to buy either way, I can put up with it being a straight port with a stable framerate.

I use an HTPC though, my main PC is literally like five inches away from my PS3, so I do not have to worry about cramping up in front of a monitor though, I'll just be playing on the same TV I did in the first place.

GFWL patches do not incur XBL cert fees, I believe.

And there's always the dubious yet tantalizing possibility that fans will come up with a solution.

 

[ponpo]

For those wondering why Dark Sounds needs things patched along with the new content.

Because there is bad J-Pop in the soundtrack and tons of Japanese text floating around the screen constantly?

44 Divine Blessings, lol. Sums up current Dark Souls PvP. The early demo footage from pre-release was similar. Foreshadowing!

Edit: lol @ 4:05 in the video.
