Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen Steam pre-order is LIVE

is there going to be an official steam controller binding

We'll probably put up a recommended binding of some sort. The "Mouse-like Joystick" Mode works well pretty well for the right touch pad. It allows you to retain the gamepad button prompts while allowing you to use the touch pad in Trackball mode. Pretty cool stuff.

Can an option to lock the button prompts to controller or keyboard be added in a patch? I was hoping to make a binding that used the mouse for camera input, as well at having the hotkeys on a touch menu, while having everything else be 360 buttons, but games flicking between button prompts drives me crazy.

Can you guys patch in the DS4 button prompts!?

Oh god...every time I hear that intro song, I want to die. Injecting Into Free is the FIRST order of business. Is there a good tutorial anywhere. I already have the MP3 and music video I downloaded from youtube if I need to rip it.

Don't know if it's allowed but I found a link to the file (Reddit) already modded into the game. It just needs to replace the crap one in the game directory.

is the mgage class actually fan to play as in this game?
do you have to commit to the first class tht you choose or you can pass from one class to another without problems?

Once you make it to gran soren you can work on being what you will. Mages can be fun, but you're going to need a tank.

You can swap around with no problem. Once you pay the initial cost to buy into a class, you can swap back and forth between it and other classes for free.

As for mage/wizard, YMMV. Some people love casting ridiculously huge spells, other people don't like relying on their pawns to keep the enemy engaged while you cast those spells.

Or you hire 1 warrior to draw aggro, and have the other 2 be sorcerers as well, synchronise cast to speed up/power up all the spells, and just destroy every room you step in after a single cast ;P.

I've been following this thread loosely over the last few days and habe seen people here and there mention changing audio files in this version of DD. Why is this? Is there some sort of problem with the audio files that need altering?

Think it's people wanting different music files in...no actual problems I'm aware of

The intro music needed altering(back to original). Beyond that, the OST is great, but after playing through a couple times with it already, I think I'm going to change out a few of the tracks for some novelty.

Trying to think of where I'd put the following:

And a few others, for example.

I wanna do a full music conversion using Trails in the Sky FC and SC music, but it seems like too much work.

Glad I caught the stream earlier. There was a lot of neat info dropping throughout. The current draw distances are the best they could stretch them out to before causing the game crash. They still leave a lot to be desired, but I'm impressed with how much effort went into pushing the game up to current standards.

There are some "random encounters"
he's probably talking about those bandits that will attack you like 3 times randomly in different parts of the world. It's sorta tied in to a quest, I forgot which one was it.
(It's the one were you get this letter, that's says watch your back or whatever)

Oh ok I thought it was just during normal play. I have had occasional long range items do it like very far away trees but never once had any monsters/people do it. In fact its the ability to see them miles away lol is the best part:) But that goes away after a bit and never happens again. Going to keep an eye out for it.

Also going to replay with another all Mage team. Had a blast last time. Excited to enjoy that over the topness at a better resolution.
 
Wow. Already 198 members. Not going to want for pawns. I sent out a few invites but got tired of clicking lol.

the best way is to do it in your actual browser. I opened a new tab with every name click, clicked a whole column the names that aren't friends, and then went through my tabs clicking send friend request.

It actually doesn't take that long if you do it this way.

Hmm. I saw in this thread that the load times are not great. Was going to move the game to my SSD but guess you can't do that until it's unlocked. Going to have to remember to do that.

Nice, I'll give that a shot.

It's been holding #1 on Steam store. That's gotta be worth something

Capcom right now

The load times for the game when modded with ENB atm are long, but I haven't heard anything other than that.

I'm only gonna bring a couple of songs from Trails myself. Not sure any of the ambient music would feel right in DD.

I'd say it's more like a 'WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T WE DO THIS YEARS AGO'. You know, like we told them.

It is bizarre to release a niche title like this that would benefit from word of mouth sales, then complain about lack of sales. To be fair, this was before Dark Souls really broke open the market.

The irony is an initial PC version would have likely justified the development of a sequel.

Boosh, joined the group under my Steam moniker Doomfist (name dating back to WarCraft II days.) Changed my avatar to fit my GAF one to have even something in common :p

I feel the same way about the Dark Souls break and comparisons there.

I'm not talking about the little gamepad icon in the sidebar.


At this point, I think "native" Steam Controller support just means you can bind and use keyboard and gamepad commands simultaneously and maybe there are Steam Controller interface icons.

Edit: There is apparently such a thing as native Steam Controller API support. The big difference is you can bind things in-game, button prompts will match the controller and the game will have full access to the haptic feedback motors.

Yes. Just a few games have native support. Wbacon has already confirmed that the the Steam Controller can use keyboard and gamepad commands simultaneously, which is already pretty good!

Are digital soundtracks and artworks only available on launch date? I don't see them anywhere in my account

I don't think Steam has the functionality for developers to pick and choose which files are encrypted during pre-load, currently they are sitting behind an encrypted wall. They will be available on launch.

I'd be thrilled to see Dragon's Dogma pulling Dark Souls numbers, but that would be pretty tough.

The game itself is perfect for that, though, really feels like the kind of game that will resonate well with the PC audience.

I would be as well. I think its going to do fine but I am not sure even Capcom expects DS numbers.
