Dark Souls PC screenshots

[QUOTE="rasengan2552"]

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.

How does wanting standard flexibility from a PC game = wanting one of the best looking PC games in DX11?

I know SW thrives on hyperbole, but you crossed a pretty large gap to bridge that together.

[QUOTE="x-2tha-z"] 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.x-2tha-z

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.

Time to take a deep breath. It's clear that your ragetrip inhibits your reading comprehension.

The fps cap might actually be justified.

Remember Bioshock and it's 30 fps animations? Made the entire game seem rather jerky when played at 60 fpsa and looked like ass as a consequence.

[QUOTE="Jebus213"][QUOTE="x-2tha-z"] 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.MlauTheDaft

I haven't seen anyone demanding them to turn it into the next uber graphics king, just the ability to change the resolution and hopefully have an uncapped framerate. Changing the resolution isn't rewriting the entire game in a new super innovative directx pathway that requires millions of dollars or R&D. It is changing the resolution the graphics card renders the game.

Do you fail to see that these screens are clearly upscaled ?

PC version confirmed to have fixed resolution and 30 FPS lock :?

Is that what it really is going to look like on PC? That looks terrible, just go buy a PS3 or 360 Hermits and just play it on that, seriously not being a fanboy but the console version looks so much better than those screen shots it's not even funny, it's looks totally different.

Funny how you say it's stupid to spend so much on a PC and yet you tell them all to "just go buy a PS3 or 360" wasting even more money than they have to for a version of the game that will be identical but have less content. Which is also a big deal for you because according to you RDR on the PS3 is better because it has extra content over the 360 version regardless of the visuals.

You flip flop so much on these issues

What really sucks is that this is a straight port. No graphical enhancements :(

so not that different from consoles.BrunoBRS

Pretty much the exact same. My guess is that it will just be a version of the console game on PC with nothing changed at all visuals wise. No texture updates or resolution options and no higher framerate. Maybe some AA added or somehitng

Now, why would you go and buy a whole system and game, when you could just buy the game with added content? :?

Consoles are cheaper and better optimized for gaming, this Dark Souls PC version just looks like the devs are doing a lazy port. I'm sure PC guys have enough money to drop on consoles, they already blow enough of it away on tuning and upgrading their PC's.

And what does RDR have to do with this? It looks the same on both systems, honestly I have played both versions and there is hardly a difference between them, only real difference was the extra gang hideout missions and outfits which makes the PS3 version better.

There wasn't a vast difference in graphics like this PC version of Dark Souls. Here can you honestly see a difference in this comparison?

so your logic is we should spend more money on the inferior version?... ´kay

Lol no, the console versions looks clearly better than those PC screenshots. Just click the link to see the images for yourself, they look vastly superior to the PC version.

The game is a straight port. It will look the same as on the consoles (even with a locked resolution and framerate according to Miyazaki). Poor screenshots don't change that. Be aware that the game is only 70-80% complete.

So, why spend more on a version that will look the same and have more content?

If it looks the same and has more content than that is the better version, however the PC screenshots look terrible while the console screenshots look alot better. There is no downplaying this, there is a noticable difference in the screenshots TC posted and the console images I posted the link to. It clearly proves the console version looks better. Like by a lot.

Clearly upscaled pictures.

Look at their resolution: 1.900 x 1.069: nobody plays at that resolution :?

Like I told Dr Lundys, if it looks equal to the console version but it has more content than it is the better version. If it looks better than the console version with extra content than it is also the better version. I will admit it. However according to the PC screenshots it looks like garbage next to the console version screenshots.

Though even if it does look better (which the screenshots show it won't) it won't be that much better. PC versions do tend to be better I guess, but it's not like light years ahead like Hermits say, it's always just slightly.

oh no! ONE screenshot looks bad, I guess that means the PS3 version looks terribly all over

yep, nothing like taking one poor screenshot and immediatly assume that's how the game will look

nice leap in logic there, but it's alright, I'll be sure to take some screenies of the game when I buy the superior PC version :)

1. The game is incomplete
2. IIRC DS has a decent amount of motion blur
3. The game is a direct port of the same assets on the consoles
4. The game will likely display in the same resolution at a locked 30fps

The screenshots are of a poor quality. It's not the first time we've seen terrible pre-release shots (from an incomplete) game.

For example, these are pre-release screenshots from 2009:

Its an amazing game with fugly graphics... i thought everyone knew that but i guess hermits don't.

That PS3 screenshot riplas dude post isn't accurate, the game looks alot better than that. I know because I played it (look at my PS3 gamertag if you don't believe me), and even that screenshot looks better than the ones TC posted. However some of you guys are saying the game isn't finished on PC yet, so if it turns out when it's done that it looks better or equal to the console version but yet still has more content, then I will admit I was wrong.

But as of right now those PC screenshots look terrible compared to the console versions. And I'm tired of Hermits always bashing console versions and acting like their versions are always super better when they arn't, they tend to be better but not by a massive amount.

That PS3 screenshot riplas dude post isn't accurate, the game looks alot better than that. ShadowMoses900

exactly, thank you for proving my point, you're judging the PC version based on those screenshots which were clearly upscalled

So apparently another FFVIII/RE4 kind of port will see the light of day again. :(

Yep, console gamers aren't the same at all. See:

1. Alan Wake - sub-HD
2. MGS4 - sub-HD
3. The Conduit - ripping the game apart for looking poor
4. Gears 3 vs UC3
5. GT5 vs Forza 3
6. Halo - sub-HD

Plus many other examples of console gamers being graphic whores.

Guess you missed the debates on red dead redemption, the boycotts to not buy alan wake cos it was sub HD, and teh recent thread saying that The witcher 2 was sub HD and everyone going at it there.

At least the stuff we complain about is very noticeable and makes a big difference, the stuff console gamers debate is very miniscule

Yeah we've had at least 2 The Witcher 2 (360) vs Uncharted 3 threads in the past week.

Plus almost every next-gen console being bashed at the smallest rumor of it not being all that powerful. Especially the WiiU getting bashed a lot for that, console gamers saying its not even a next gen system :roll:

I especially love it when a PS3 game gets attacked for its graphics being slightly inferior to a 360 multiplat, but then someone talks about the PC version looking even better and suddenly those same people don't care about graphics anymore :lol:

I might have to get myself a STEAM copy to along with my PS3 copy. The new bosses better be tough to defeat, I wouldn't want it any other way.

don't know if i want it on the pc or just grab the ps3 version, i know i'm missing goodies but i kind of want the trophies

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.
