Dark Souls PC post-embargo impressions [30fps, locked 1024x720]

Yup and consoles are stagnant. lol!! They can do 1080p native though. Many PC's out there still have to play games in lower resolution Not everyone has a high-tech PC. The game is a port, like I knew it would be. Hermits will get someone to mod it no doubt.

In theory,yes,consoles can do 1080p.However,the amount of game design sacriffices needed to pull it off in ANY high-budget title makes the whole point moot to discuss...

And that's why no "high-profile" dev does it...

Also,today,nearly any PC built with gaming in mind easily outmatches the consoles.Even an AMD APU does it with ease...

Some idiot invading my gamespace? If I can turn it off, that's the first thing I'll do.jun_aka_pekto

Let's not go there.The list is rather lengthy,and shameful,when you take into the account you're speaking about "HD" consoles :P

Thank you,Captain Obvious :P

But don't expect next Gen consoles to run on native 1080p.I'd say it's more likely they'll end up running in good and stable 720p/60FPS,but with better anti-aliasing and VSync methods.

It's a waste of time and resources to make console game assets in 1080p.Development costs would once again skyrocket,and for what?

Outside of boards like this,"common" console gamers don't really care about resolutions and all that stuff.They don't pay too much attention to it,and just play their games...

Mac? Exactly what can a Mac do better than a PC gamewise?

I have a Mac. I don't see it doing games better on equivalent PC hardware.

The point is,this console gen is dragging for way too long...

And nope,there are no "high-profile" console titles that run on native 1920x1080 resolution.Even games like GT5 on PS3 use various tricks,like rendering in some resolution like 1280x1080,while still having some assets downgraded.Here,read this...

That is terrible. I thought PC's were supposed to be easier to develop for? I am waiting for PC version, now I don't see why.SaltyMeatballs

Consolites have been doing it for so long, I guess now I get to enjoy this last gen game now too.

Will get it once it hits $5-$10 price range

Japanese PC development is in a very sorry state right now, I'm afraid. Most Japanese PC games today are casual games, and when it comes to core games they are pretty much a no-show other than the occasional MMO like Final Fantasy XIV (which was broken at launch). They should have outsourced the PC version to Korea, because they know what's up with PCs.

wow what a god damn joke, 30fps/720p lock & GFWL? this makes the Resi 4 port look like a masterpiece.

Japan shows once again why they aren't relevant.

1024x720 what is this a psp game

So PC gamers get to enjoy new content, a cheaper price, and a more stable framerate. Gotcha.

Gonna stick with the 360 version. No reason to support a bad port.

Those devs must be very technically incompetent. Render resolution? How hard is it to change that? It's one of the most basic things in a graphics engine. It's one of the lowest level parameters there is.

Just think about this. 1024x720 is LESS than the kind of resolution we would use back in 2000.

W.T.F

I don't understand why the rendering (native) resolution would not be changeable. They could have paid one college student to fix the game for them in the space of a couple of weeks.

I feel like most of the thread didn't even bother reading the article.

The game is going to be exactly like the console version, except apparently Blighttown/New Londo doesn't lag to hell anymore. That instantly puts it above the console versions for now.

Nope, PC got higher standars right? so console version still superior ;)

Peredith

No reason to get the PC version now. Bummer.

Shirokishi_

Agreed, might as well get it for console. Once again a japanese dev proving they can't cut it on PC.

I've been playing Age of Empires 2 on 1080p lately. :) *Spooky voice* How does tagggyyyyy dooooo iiiitttttt?tagyhag

We going by score right, it is no chance in hell the sloppy PC version will score higher than console version

It's like they WANT us to pirate it. Seriously, how can they release such a crappy port and expect people to buy it? I will consider buying it during a steam sale, provided the modding community fixes the mess that those incompetent devs made.

Well looks like PC only owners crying its trash are going to miss one of the best games in recent years. To bad it really is excellent. jwsoul

Most will still buy it anyway, we just wish it had what every other PC game has had for a LONG time

So what is it you not get then?

Who cares? I played this game a year ago, it was good, but overhyped by hipsters.

lol @Hermits

Obviously_Wrong

From: Ports DS to PC, adds some content that was planned for console DLC, no KB/M support, locks FPS and resolution, bad optimisation, 100% pure laziness or incompetence.

CDPR: Ports TW2 to 360, makes a new lighting engine to make it work on 360, tons of new content, optimised controls, optimised performance.

From has released games on PC in the past.

CDPR has never released a single title on 360 in the past.

Dev incompetence/laziness. Hopefully the modding community will fix their pirate bait of a game.
