It'll look better in motion. Screenshots often don't do games justice, especially very high res ones. They should have taken 1280x720 screens with AA and AF cranked.

Do you mean PC screenshot thread in this forum? I'm not sure I have. Show me a link. Those screenshots look just like a straight port of the game, which is what is expected and is what they've confirmed the game will be. I'm not sure what you're trying to say. They've released better looking PC screens?

This actually looks worse. I really don't believe what I'm seeing here, but I'm too lazy to try to research and debunk it.

Yeah that is SUPER upscaled, or like running on super low or something. It definitely looks pretty great on consoles in comparison.

Those screens are resized. They're probably 1280x720 originally. Very strange. This developer is trolling I think.

Here is the PC screenshot thread. Although some people post in small resolutions to make it fit in the forum. http://www.gamespot.com/forums/topic/28929786/quotwhat-were-you-just-playingquot-ver.-2.0-post-screens-56k-nooooo?page=121 Also Dead Space 1 was pretty much a straight port, but the console version does not look as good as even this compressed video of the PC version that I recorded. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJNFl5ADrh8 And here are some high resolution screenshots I have from The Witcher 2. I think they do the game justice visually. They make those Dark Souls screenshots look like a PS2 game. If you take screenshots in PNG format then convert to JPEG at max quality then you won't get bad screens. Even regular JPEG screenshots should not look that bad.

You said high resolution screenshots often don't do a game justice visually and that it would be better to make them 1280x720. That is wrong. High resolution screenshots, like the ones I posted, do look better than if they were made in 1280x720. Also just because it's a straight up port does not mean it is going to look blurry as hell. I posted my Dead Space PC video as an example of a direct port which looks quite a bit better than the console version. Even with the video compression is looks sharper than the console version unlike those horrible Dark Soul screenshots.

Would be a fluke if its not.

Even if the devs do somehow screw this up, the community will fix it.

And before you throw a tantrum and try calling me jelly or some sh*t. I'm a console gamer. Always have been. But I'm also a reasonable person and I dont wear goggles that shelter my eyes from reality.

PC gamers nowadays are really spoiled.

I wonder how many people from these forums would have played Witcher 2 if the graphics weren't that good.

Diablo 3 looks worse but l didn't hear complaints about it.

The reaction to Dark Souls on PC has been nothing short of disgraceful. I wish NB would just cancel the port. You people don't deserve to play this game.

I don't mind GFWL all that much (I still signed the petition) but if it is locked at 30fps and 720p then fvck that. Nobody is going to buy that sh*t.

Because its so much to ask for some quality when a game is ported amirite? Anywhoo those look pretty on par with the console version. Its not a pretty game, but it is fun.

A direct port.

As simple as that.

Afterall, Namco is not known for pushing tech on PC; expecting that they do so is a falso hope.

The complaints by hermits just show that they care for graphic, something which is not the focus of this game.

Gameplay trumps everything and Dark Souls is the poster boy for gameplay, in my opinion.

No one wants it to push anything. All we want is a decent port. We want them to put some effort into porting the game for PC. We want the basic features that make a PC game a PC game, like M&K support and open choice on Res/FPS caps. Even the ability to mod, instead of saying "We dont know how so it wont be done" they could ask the community what they would like to be made available.

It will be a good port. It'll probably be exactly like the console version, but that isn't good enough, is it? Have you read the posts in this topic? Unbelievable.

can we just use common sense and understand that the PC version will ultimately look better than the console versions ?

and also its pretty sad that a site that is supposed to be credible, would put up upscaled console scrrenshots in order to generate traffic.

In case you didn't notice, the PC is not the console, being able to change your resolution, is something expected, something even games that have the reputations of the worst ports of all time have this option.

And it isn't just the resolution and framerate cap. These things are saying "we don't care about making a good port", something that points to the port being, extremely buggy, unoptimized, and probably just won't work very well in general. In the past ports that have fixed resolution and framerates don't tend to be the gold standard of polish and optimization.

I'm noticing a patern here. Graphics are the most important part of a game to PC players. Notice I didn't call you gamers. Even if Dark Souls looked worse on PC than on consoles, it'd still be one of the best games ever made.

This is From Software's 3rd PC game in their near 25 year existence, they are primarily a sony developer for most of that part aswell, also look at the Ninja blade port for further proof as why hermits maybe shouldnt keep blasting on how this might be the superior version.

its not the core game is still the same...more content doesnt justify a game being any more exclusive.

Of course you will be able to change the resolution. Not everyone has a 720p monitor. As for the framerate, it's not like this is a racing game or FPS. It wouldn't be an issue. Sorry, let me rephrase that; it shouldn't be an issue, but no doubt people will find issues with it anyway. And there's plenty of "bad" ports that had all the graphics and framerate options. It is no indication of quality. I'm going to send NB an e-mail and suggest they cancel this port. I'm going to explain in the e-mail that unless they find a way to make Dark Souls look like Metro 2033 in DX11, PC players be unhappy and complain. Then I'll tell them that said players will use these complaints as justification to pirate Dark Souls instead of buying it and the game will probably be pirated at a ratio of 10:1. If you agree with me then I suggest you send them an e-mail too. It's not too late to try to get the port canceled. After seeing the reaction since GFWL was announced, someone at NB has probably already suggested it. The extra stuff they made for the PC version could instead be released as DLC on PS3 and 360, you know, where their game is appreciated.
