Support NeoGAF

[Neiteio]

The guy who posted it works for the magazine

So I now doubt it's fake.

As someone who doesn't own a gaming PC this makes me really want to start scheming about building one. I think I will hold off and wait and see how well the port is handled. I hope it's full steamworks cause at has been said this game is a classic and lugging it around on a steam account forever would be great.

Hey, the guy who posted the PC mag pic has a "Catherine is coming" avatar. Is that a hint Catherine is coming to PC as rumored, as well? Would double-dip on that game to have a copy in Steam.

 

[Conciliator]

Dark Souls on Steam would change my life.

Dark Souls on Steam with substantial modding tools would change the trajectory of civilization.

Kind of hard to imagine it being something else at this point(not expecting the modding tools, obv). Guess we should prep ourselves for disappointment!

 

[Technosteve]

face book game?

 

[S0N0S]

So that ad pretty much confirms it, then? I'm ready to double dip!

 

[Conrad Link]

Oh, probably just the announcement of a PC version?



I got excited for a moment there.

 

[Neiteio]

You reckon there'd be 360 controller support? I got me one for Sonic Generations on PC. So easy to use.

 

[The Mana Legend]

Dark Souls, released through Beamdog service with locked 30 FPS framerate, no AA, no mods allowed.

 

[joe2187]

I think It would be weird to have modding tools for Dark Souls, I'd hate to see Lordran overrun with ponies.

 

[Zeliard]

face book game?

 

[Neiteio]

Would be awesome if it came out in May. Then when I die in Dark Souls and get frustrated, I can boot up Mario Tennis Open and whack some balls.

Whacking balls is a great way to blow steam.

 

[Emitan]

A small price to pay for a PC version.

 

[Andrea23]

Pc's spring season could not have started better than this.
Just... lovable.

 

[Omikaru]

Oh god, don't give them ideas!

 

[Varna]

Dark Souls, released through Beamdog service with locked 30 FPS framerate, no AA, no mods allowed.

Yeah. I don't see them putting in a lot of effort. Probably will be a pretty barebones PC port like Dark Siders. Just a resolution option and any AA/AF tweaks will have to be handled through the GPUs control panel.

Who would be doing this theoretical port?

 

[Foffy]

Stay away from my balls...

 

[Neiteio]

Kid Icarus in two days, Dark Souls on PC...

Sweet golden fleece diaper-clad Baby Jesus.

 

[Ziltoid]

I'm pretty sure making it a Steamworks game would give them the option of using VAC.

We'll just have to pray to Gaben that they'll use Steamworks for it then.

 

[dani_dc]

Nice, I've been hoping for this, hopefully it's a good port and if it makes use of Steamworks then all the better.

Hey, the guy who posted the PC mag pic has a "Catherine is coming" avatar. Is that a hint Catherine is coming to PC as rumored, as well? Would double-dip on that game to have a copy in Steam.

Not the first time I see that rumor. Definitively hope it's true, would double dip on that one.

 

[ponpo]

I don't play TF2 anymore but if it's steamworks does that mean incoming Father's Mask TF2 hat?

 

[Keikoku]

Yeah no modding tools please.

 

[Neiteio]

We'll just have to pray to Gaben that they'll use Steamworks for it then.

 

[Orayn]

We'll just have to pray to Gaben that they'll use Steamworks for it then.

I will accept nothing less than a Steamworks release and multiple TF2 promo items including an Elite Knight Helmet for all classes, Moonlight Greatsword for Demoman, and Pyromancer Flame for Pyro.

Dark Souls, released through Beamdog service with locked 30 FPS framerate, no AA, no mods allowed.

Locked 30 and a resolution above 1024x720 would both be a huge improvements.

 

[dragonlife]

If that image is fake there will be blood. And bitter, bitter tears.

Don't toy with me!

 

[Foffy]

If that image is fake there will be lood. And bitter, bitter tears.

Lots of lood?

 

[Neiteio]

Not the first time I see that rumor. Definitively hope it's true, would double dip on that one.

Yesssssssss. Catherine PC port, with added online for competitive scene. Do it, Atlus. Dooooooooo ittttttttt.

Spoiler

Would also settle for straight Catherine port I can keep in my Steam library.

 

[kyubajin]

DLC... Umbasa.

 

[CountAntonius]

Namco has 4 published games on steam

Some with steamworks some with achievements.

 

[naib]

It freezes on the PS3 for me for some reason. Almost tempted to get 360 version but would much prefer PC.

that would be awesome.

[Sullichin]

Don't think I'd want to see modding tools unless there was a reliable way to separate between modding/non-modded playerbase (can't be invaded by a modder unless you're modding, etc). Because I'm sure people would be able to do amazing things with the multiplayer.. and also really annoying terrible things.

 

[Shakala]

If there is an easier way to play with my friends then I'd be estatic

 

[FunkyPajamas]

Let's wait for confirmation on the PC thing, anyone can create a pretty decent 'shop this days.

 

[Emitan]

So the guy from the magazine shopped a fake version of his own magazine?

 

[jj984jj]

Ys, Binary Domain, now Dark Souls. I'm so happy. ;_;

Spoiler

Just don't screw up the port.

Spoiler

P.S. Trails in the Sky too please XSEED!

 

[Orayn]

So the guy from the magazine shopped a fake version of his own magazine?

The confluence of shit confirming Dark Souls on PC is clearly just a combination of coincidences and fabrications, none of which are related to each other in any way.

 

[dragonlife]

Let's wait for confirmation on the PC thing, anyone can create a pretty decent 'shop this days.

I remember that during the petition days on the NB forums. That was just someone's hype "what-if" image. And it's awesome, yes. WHAT COULD BE.

 

[Brofist]

Not saying it's a PC version necessarily, but would they do a Facebook likes campaign just for DLC?

 

[Conrad Link]

My only hope left is they're putting out some new content on the PC version also to entice them and will also release that stuff as DLC on consoles.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Uh, I don't mean to be a downer, but do From have any experience whatsoever with PC coding? They know the PS3 real well, but PC... not sure what to think.

There's so much overhead these days that they would basically have to do Saints Row 2 levels of emulation for it to turn out especially badly.

 

[Defuser]

I wouldn't mind double dipping for Dark souls. Just think of all the mods or weapon reskins. *drools*

 

[Llyranor]

I'll doubledip if people mod in a proper co-op mode.

Or, you could be happy that a large portion of GAF might get to enjoy this great game that you already got to.



They released a King's Field level creator/port for the PC long, long ago, but that's all I know of.

Ninja Blade was their most recent PC game. No idea if they made that version.

 

[Orayn]

Uh, I don't mean to be a downer, but do From have any experience whatsoever with PC coding? They know the PS3 real well, but PC... not sure what to think.

Phyre, the engine used for both Souls games, has native support for PC. GRID and the DIRT series also use it, and have shown us that it can look absolutely phenomenal at high resolutions with oodles of post-processing.

From also put Ninja Blade on PC and I don't know of any major problems with it.

Nar.

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

They did the port of Ninja Blade in 2009.

Well if the PC version is released I'll go ahead and grab it then! Been putting off getting it for a bit.
