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

Feel bad for anyone who preorded this garbage port worth $5 at most that's even worse then the binary domain port mouse control is horrible in that game but you can run it at 1080p and 60fps and with a 360 controller controls are as good as on consoles. I can't help but wonder if they did this on purpose to purposely destroy a large chunk of potential sales and then go around and blame piracy for not releasing any future games on pc or can Japanese devs really be that bad at programming for pc?

I could tolerate 30fps for this type of game its not a deal breaker obviously though much better if It could run at 60+fps like almost all other pc games but being limited to1024x720 is and there's zero reason a 3D PC game to be resolution locked in 2012. If there is a fix in the future to increase the resolution though I'll buy it once it goes on sale on steam for a lower price but its current state not worth it to me.

From has historically been console....

Still the complaints havent been vocal enough, showing in their eyes its only a minority.Could also go out on a limb and blame Namco aswell might aswell.

It all reeks of stop gap project before they start the next game.Froms pretty stretched as a developer aswell im sure.

razgriz_101

First begging for something, then not buying it, it honestly seems as if Froms been told get it to a shippable state within say 4 months, its not gonna be just as easy when your engines built round these fixed hardware like the forced 720p might be a core area of the engine itself in how it handles things graphically and cant be changed.

It seems more like a case of they done it cause people wanted it, but in the end they cant totally fulfill this because of how the games engine itself is designed.

Then inevitable complaints dark souls 2 isnt on PC will end up happening because nobody bought this one aswell, theres a lot of negatives to the attitudes possesed by some folks in this topic.I'd honestly say that you people are honestly graphics whores and if your not going to pick up a game because it lacks anti aliasing shows how shallow some folks really are these days.

Or the fact people have too much nowadays, this is one of the few games that if the FPS is stable and i've heard it is then whats not to like if its your kinda game then more power to you theres more content, graphics rank low on the souls games anyway they have never been nout special.

Mweh thats maybe just me i just enjoy getting down and playign the game.I enjoyed R6V back in the day and it had similar issues.

Well I am still buying it, I'm just not thrilled with how this looks like it will be on of the worst ports ever. If From was not able to handle the port job, they could have outsourced it to a more competent dev. Even though that would cost more, I guarantee they would sell more copies shipping out a proper PC game than a game that barely meets console performance standards.

[QUOTE="razgriz_101"]

[QUOTE="BPoole96"] When 99% of Pc games offer some sort of graphical option, it doesn't make sense as to why they would think it is okay to lock a game to a console's specifications. All they would have had to do is include resolution changes, AA, and V sync and everyone would have been perfectly fine with that. Now people are going to not buy it because it is an awful port and that will send a message to Namco Bandai that it was not worth it even though it is their fault.BPoole96

They should just delay it 3-4 months.

Not true. Most publishers have specialized japanese pc teams and they often even make pc exclusives. THeyre's also a vibrant indie community. So the "japanese devs don't make pc games excuse" doesn't work. It's not japanese gaming industry, it's just From Software programmers that suck and are completely incompetent. Sorry, From Software has no excuses. They just suck.

1080p on the PC is a basic standard,you don't demand it,it's just there,you take it for granted.Not fullfiling it could be comparable to a console dev making a console game that doesn't have a controller support.No "entitlement" of any kind here.

OK,maybe not THAT bad,but you get the idea.Consolites may run around making excuses,but the cold hard truth is,From Software handled this whole situation in a very incompetent manner.And incompetence doesn't deserve to be rewarded.

I'm giving $5 for this game at most,and only in case a group of modders brings the whole mess under control.

[QUOTE="RyviusARC"][QUOTE="BeardMaster"] right but you see the flipside of the coin? PC gamers begged and petitioned for this game, so from software went out of their way and wasted money to make it available on the PC... and the PC gamers just complained about it and didnt buy it. I knew this would happen from the getgo. PC gamers are very entitled and want everything catered to them, while making up an incredibly small portion of software revenue.

Glad you understand.Yes,the resolution is locked at 720p.Here:

There's also something curious about the resolution too in that there's no change in clarity when attempting to crank up the settings. On close inspection, it appears that Dark Souls PC uses the very same 1024x720 internal framebuffer as the console versions, regardless of which resolution has been set in the menus. The option provided is for output resolution only; a simple courtesy to allow the game to play on most monitors, but the image quality will always remain the same. In short, PC gamers will very much be getting the genuine console experience here, right down to the pixel.

Source:The link in the OP.

Now,I can deal with 30 FPS.I can deal with having to plug in a controller for optimal experience.I can even deal with GFWL.But not allowing 1080p on the PC is crossing the line!

I know we couldn't expect a stellar port here,but there are some standards that should be always upholded.Even the worst ports I ever played like Force Unleashed,GTA4 on release,etc,had 1080p support.

1080i isnt a basic standard for everyone, thats a standard for you.Just thought i'd point that out theres probably PC gamers out there who plug along fine on lower resolutions.

Besides its silly saying that making a game for a console that doesnt have controller support cause y'know much like the KB and M its hardwired right into the machine at a low level in the whole scheme of things.

Besides as a few folk have said From's always been console centric and that isnt going to entirely help their case at the end of the day considering its all built from the ground up with the consoles in mind from the beginning of developement, in the most true sense this is a console port where as most multiplat games are built with PC in mind this wasnt thats one key thing to remember.

Not everything meshes together like they should when it comes to actually sitting down with the game itself adn getting the porting done, the engine itself for all we know might not have v-sync or AA systems in it on the ground level.

That is correct,although it's safe to say the second option leads to much less potential issues.

This port has a good chance of bringing losses to the developer,and if(when) that happens,piracy excuses will start showing up,which is negative for the PC platform in general...

What's the worst case about second option?

The 30fps lock is a much worse thing. PC gamers prefer a smoother game over a better looking game.

Well, I guess since it isn't a game from the first person perspective and fast turning isn't a huge thing in DS, 1080 would be better than 60fps. In most case though, I would take the higher framerate over the higher resolution.

Blech. 30 fps I figured, but 1024x720? That's dumb. I know the PC isn't their cup of tea, but that's unacceptable.

Oh well. A few teenage modders will have this running in full HD within a week of release, and a high res texture pack a week later. And From Software will label them sorcerers:lol:.

I'm guessing the animations are all 30fps and they don't want to add in more frames/redesign their system to interpolate.

ActionRemix

Yup, and seeing as the PC port wasn't even considered until after release, I can understand that. But one "quasi-720p" resolution shows their laziness or incompetence.

As long as I can play it eventually I couldn't care less about the graphics settings.

If Dark Souls is as good as its fans say it is, then, I can put up with the low resolution and hope From will make a better effort in the future.

I mean, I drool as much as anyone when faced with nice eye candy. But, I also play older games with so-so graphics.

[QUOTE="Ironbash"]Its because japanese devs never do PC ports? There is no such thing as a PC gaming market in Japan. BeardMaster

Not true. Most publishers have specialized japanese pc teams and they often even make pc exclusives. THeyre's also a vibrant indie community. So the "japanese devs don't make pc games excuse" doesn't work. It's not japanese gaming industry, it's just From Software programmers that suck and are completely incompetent. Sorry, From Software has no excuses. They just suck.
