Has about as much chance as a Wii version coming out. Extremely slim or not at all. The game sold 1.3 million copies on consoles. The demand for a PC version would be below 200K no doubt. All Namco would do is port the XBox 360 version to the PC. I doubt anything new would be added to it. Namco wouldn't waste the money to do that. They know it won't sell much on the PC. XanderZane
You would be surprised; considering the genre's a staple on the PC, particularly core niche RPGS (hoo Gothic and the likes of). All boils down to their confidence, Q&A team and the budgeting.

Total Biscuit posted a video about it. The petition and Namco forums are crawling with PC gamers asking for Dark Souls. Join the quest! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUXw86Vn8ko

It has as much chance as Zelda come to PC

Also isnt PC advenrtised here as the top for gaming ? I am sure there will be a million games better than Dark Souls, why would anyone that has a PC want Dark SOuls ?

Or why wait for something that will never happen, when can have it on a 199$ xbox 360 ?

You wouldn't like it, it's consolized.

GD1551

Your statement makes no sense, then again you probably already knew that.. I hope.

I did. The word "consolized" is stupid, but at the same time I'm exhausted by elitist console hate. If the games are so inferior quit complaining that they're unavailable. To Hermits: Either they are good enough to play or they're not, don't beg at my door for things you don't want, and don't act ingratiated or like you're owed something.

Because some peopledon't want to play it as low res blurry mess with huge framerate problems? Or maybe people want to play it a year or two from now in it's full, while 360 servers will propably already get closed down.

Now, I don't think it will happen, but it would be cool. The game's isn't worth buying a whole console for it, so for many people if it won't be ported they will simply never play it.

PC gamers don't like JRPGS thats why there aren't many on PC

Zurrur

But the game is different then most jrpgs. It plays more like a WRPG then a JRPG so maybe it could work. I'm not a huge fan of jrpgs but I liked Dark Souls a lot.

Holy crap 10,000 in less then a day! This thing is in hot demand.

I'll be honest, I'm guilty of being a troll here, to elitists, so I may have maybe made fun of them for ignorant statements or having a sweet gaming PC but not spending $200 on a console to play an amazing game like Red Dead Redemption.

Truth is, I don't feel that way. I don't think the not terrible PC gamers should miss out on such an amazing game, Dark Souls is the sort of amazing hardcore game that I can see PC audiences embracing, while the modding potential and community features just make it shocking this isn't the biggest thing on Steam right now.

This is an amazing game, and I'm sure PC gamers can probably appreciate the game's complexity more without complaining about difficulty like so many n00bs I hear tend to do when they expect a breezy dark Zelda or whatever it looked like to them. Here's hoping Namco pulls through, and if it offers additional features or mod support, I might be willing to get it at a $20 price point and replay it once great mods kick in.

Though like I said before, unless it gets giant globs of mod content (and since From is trying to maintain the world they built, mod support is unlikely when even DLC isn't even a factor), then I'm not shelling out for what is essentially the same game, but prettier when I already own it, though I'd still be happy my fellow PC gaming audience could enjoy it on their platform of choice.

this is a WRPG style game though, and a fairly decent one, I just hope they have native support for the 360 controller if they do.

Though loosingENDS is just a terrible person, I do get kind of mystified at PC audiences clamoring for console games.

To be honest, it doesn't really seem like the same situation as with PS3 or Xbox or Wii owners. Those guys might not be able to afford the other system or something, but I always felt like wanting RDR or Dark Souls and not having a single cheap PS3 or Xbox from the last 6 years is just odd, especially if they're the type to upgrade every 2 years (though I can understand people who are still chugging along on 8800 GT's this gen and don't really spend a crap ton on gaming as it is).

Ugh... agreeing with loosinENDS on something is like agreeing with Paris Hilton on matters of science. Its an affront to humanity, and I just did it. I'll go die now I guess.

Honestly, taking into account ALL the people who don't know about this petition or aren't petition signing types, From Software better be working on a port right this second with dollar signs in their eyes.

petitions don't work

Chris_Williams

debatable with the Xenoblade situation.

Considering the only places you can get the Game are from Gamestop or Online.

As for Dark Souls, I have it but wouldn't mind a PC version.

Maybe they don't want to pay an extra 60 dollars a year to play with their friends? What if they want to install the game? Can't do that with a 4 gig 360.

Dark Souls is exactly the type of game that PC gamers would buy in droves.

Dark Souls is like a small budget PC exclusive DD only title was allotted a big budget after the success of its predecessor, thus the sort of rare wet dream mix of hardcore indie and big budget hugeness a PC fanatic dreams about.

Its complex, its difficult, its incredibly strategic and skill intensive, and its got a host of great unique online features and is just completely immersive and beautiful (and graphics whoring is like, a thing that PC gamers do if you didn't notice).

Dark Souls not being on PC is like a big budget arcadey military/sci fi FPS not being on Xbox 360. It just BELONGS there man.

You don't want more people to enjoy a great game, because of some morons ruining it for everyone else?

Pretty selfish, and its not exactly stopping elitism by being a console exclusive.

I'll say. If Namco worked that fast, we'd have Dark Souls yesterday at the rate those petitions are going, and the petition started today!

Its causing a time paradox is what I'm saying.
