Thank you for absolute clarity, this answers any and all questions.

Oh man... quickly reading the OP had me worried that the improved graphical options wouldn't be available on PC.
DX11 version, yes!
I was going to get the DLC on an upcoming Steam sale, but I may just wait to rebuy the powered up version.
Dark Souls 2 is still my GOTY. Love it.

They just get the 1.1 update.

No. The only thing that comes with the free patch are balance changes and item description stuff, etc.
It's possible but there's nothing expanding on what exactly the adjustments are other than the fact that apparently the high-spec performance allows for them to change enemy placements and make certain game design changes which can't be implemented in the last-gen versions.
Thanks for translating these.
The more I know about this the less interested it makes me.

Bloodborne and Dark Souls 2 in the same year...
I feel like this is going to take away from the anticipation of bloodborne...
I can't wait for the Namco version of "HD towns are hard"

Sigh...
Better be a cheap upgrade option. I don't have the DLC yet so I might bite, but if I had the DLC I'd be pissed.

They fucked it up already. No way I'm going to buy Bloodbourne or Dark Souls 3 or some other game, when they can't even get the hitboxes right.

Cheap upgrade just like all of those other remasters coming out lately, right?

No one knows if it's "full price" yet. People are overreacting as usual.
Bloodbourne has nothing to do with Namco.
They've already confirmed pricing for the different versions.
If you're on PC, generally yes. Pretty much all of them have been at least half off, and some far more.
All (most?) those upgrades have/had loyalty discounts on Steam.
LOL okay dude. See you there day 2 of Bloodbourne when everyone confirms how awesome it is.

Most upgrades on PC have been cheap, yes.
edit: no upgrade price? lol fuck off Scamco. If the no upgrade's true.

Because of this.
We can't upgrade the existing game eventhough we have the hardware to support it. It also fractures the online community.
Think of it this way they are selling us a next gen version of a game we already bought a year ago on PC and not making it compatible with our saves, our existing community or upgradable.
I paid full price at launch and 25 more later for a season pass for a game that thanks to this dumb move will have pretty a dead online community unless I spend however much more for the new version we should be getting as an upgrade anyway.
Sounds like overreacting. Wait for Scamco confirmation then go berserk. I'm sure they will do a Deus Ex: HR Directors Cut upgrade thing.

I was never able to get into DS2, but I'll happily try again when the patch hits on PC.

Which doesn't mean anything. They just announced the price for the full release.
They could do what a lot of publishers already did in the past and offer a heavy discount for whoever owns the previous version on Steam.
Anyway, they better be ready to offer some massive visual upgrades if they actually hope to sell more than few hundred copies on PC to people who already bought the previous version.

Tuco, let be honest, do you really think they will do a huge discount when they already know that a good part of the people will buy it, even if they triple dip it?
Well, yeah. A few companies give loyalty discounts for people with the original version. Square Enix did it with the Deus Ex: Human Revolution re-release.
The DS2 situation is a little different, though, with all the drama around the stealth downgrade and all of Namco's bullshit. DS2 was clearly designed around improved dynamic lighting that was removed very late in development just so the game would run on low powered last-gen consoles. They didn't have to downgrade the PC release but why should they bother with the additional effort when they can just charge us a second time?

I actually think they will do it (or at least they should do it) precisely because I doubt many people would bite otherwise.
Please no. Play Dark Souls 1 even if you have to get the crappy PC port.
Common, even scam artists like Capcom offered SF4:AE owners a upgrade option to Ultra instead of making them buy the full game again.

It'll make the flaws of Dark Souls 2 even more apparent if Bloodborne is a return to the quality of Demon's and Dark Souls.

This recurring joke is never particularly funny.
Which by the way is the best version of the game.
No upgrade just means you can't turn the DX9 copy into a DX11 copy, rather it's a separate entry. Doesn't mean that there will not be a loyalty discount for previous owners.(which is extremely likely to happen)

People mentioning Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut and the Metro games... I just want to point out that those were actually effectively downgrades in many ways.
Either way, I doubt there will be loyalty pricing. This year has shown that remasters can sell pretty well, even for recent games.

I have no doubt about a loyalty discount.
The questions are, how deep will the discount be, will you get deeper discount if you own dlc/season pass vs the just the base game, and how long does the discount last.
DaS2 with all the dlc is about 14gigs. 1 gig extra space doesn't leave a whole lot of room for higher resolution textures or anything like that. :|

There's no upgrade option, but a loyalty discount on Steam would amount to the same thing in the end. The more important point is that you cannot change your DX9 version into the DX11 version. Saves are incompatible, servers are different, etc.
So I read some of this, and the gist of this is From Software is screwing us hardcore here?
DX11 version, we have to buy? Non-compatible characters? Multiplayer is not the same servers?
This is absurd!
EA / EA would BLUSH at the idea pulling something this horrible, and less than a year to boot!
