Acting, mostly. They're mainly relying on speculation and a picture. http://members.iinet.net.au/~elpresidente/died.png

That's more like a patch than anything..
What I was referring to, which should have been easily discernible, were gameplay altering mods, much like the other forum member correctly assumed.
Anyway, the original point was that this has nothing to do with the framerate.. Why are you guys going on about it for? Do you really think Dark Souls on PC is going to have framerate problems that require fan made intervention to fix? lmao... Who is seriously out there thinking to themselves "Man, I hope Dark Souls on PC runs better than on consoles, and if not that there is a mod to fix it"?

If you've played PC games recently, then yes, we are anticipating a bad port of the game. It's not just frame rate, it's also field of view, feel of the controls, resolution, and anything else that is particular for the PC. Some people have very slick hardware and might want to push the graphics to whatever they can manage, for example. I'm more of a medium settings kind of person.
lol that's great

Damn you are right. If this turns out to be DLC and no PC port well that is one epic April fools joke worthy of many angry letters.

Do you realize what changing the FOV would do to a game like Dark Souls? You do realise this is a console game right?
I can see FOV being an issue in first person games... but everything the devs chose to do in Dark Souls was deliberate.

You're assuming that they have to lock at that FOV for some other reason, but the main reason why it's like that for a console is because the player very far from the screen. ME2 and ME3 to chose ~70 FOV as a default. It's very much headache inducing when you're very close to a 24" screen. Luckily there was a tool to change the .ini to a toggle-able 100 (or whatever you like) during normal moments.
What he failed to note is that the guy who posted that pic works for the magazine.

Holy shit.
Oh shit, this is looking good for a PC version. If not this is one of the most elaborate trolls of a potential fanbase by a publisher that I have ever seen.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Hype list:
A new Demon's Souls >>>>>>>> A new Dark Souls >>>>>>>> Dark Souls on PC >>>>>>> Dark Souls on Vita :3

ThaiGrocer nailed it - if you played many PC games in the last few years, you'd be aware that many times, you get a non-optimized shit port of the console version, and are lucky to have settings for other resolutions and some effects. there is 0 reason to think namco would push for anything but this, though hopefully FROM would of course do it right.
even so, let's say it's locked @ 30 FPS. why wouldn't i want mods for more anti-aliasing, maybe 60 FPS, shaders/softer shadows, etc etc? these are things we've seen from mods, and again, they're options.
better yet: the console versions were a mess with online (though the last patch certainly helped) as scamo decided to split us up not just by platform, but region too - PC would get around this, with a larger, more active community in all areas, and legacy servers that could exist long after they'd be taken down console-side...though it cant be said enough how great it is that Demons' Souls still has an online community going, if and when they close up this year in October ill be sad but not fault them for doing so.
anyway, your argument has been that options for other users, which dont affect you, betrays a developer's vision. i can only throw so many examples of ways this platform improves things, and even takes some of the burden off From/scamco whilst rewarding them with more revenue for this gen's finest new series.

It better!
Even with all that, PC gamers will be crying their eyes out when they get poisoned over and over.

Would have to say if it could on 360, definitely doable on PC.

Well Phyre Engine supports PC so I'd think it'd do alright.

First Binary Domain, now this, loving the fact that more Japanese games are coming to PC. Dark Souls 1080p here I come.
Now, would it be too much to hope that there would be cross platform play? At least with PS3?

PC gamers like hardcore games. You think poison is bad? Ever face Petrify in Baldur's Gate 2?
Ok, I am one of those gamers that actually wants Dark Souls 2 to have a more rounded MP element. Hacked to play regular co-op? Most fans would say that goes against what From planned but PC gamers can hack as much as they like, as long as it does not impact on other people.
True but then Dark Souls has Curse and all it entails.
PC gamers that have no idea what Dark Souls is are going to run into some tear-shedding moments. If they have been following along with the PC Port hopes and dreams, then they will be ready for what is coming.
