Doesn't loop. Cancelled again. Thanks FromSoft.
Oops, I didn't see those posts. My bad.
No, you are wrong. Big companies lying ot me about my water supply or the realities of climate change or about defects in seat belts or something else that could harm people, that shit bothers the hell out of me.
Big companies presenting images of their product that doesn't resemble the final version doesn't because I don't depend on marketing to judge the merits of a product nor do I expect marketing to tell me the truth about a product.
Right click, select loop

Yep.
Right click > loop.
Not really. You could be talking to someone who already owns the console version. Maybe it's not worth paying another $60 just for uprezzing/framerate to him. I think judging people for an out of context comment about a game says more about you than them.
Praise the sun!

Yesssss. Dat 60fps. All over my face.
Do you understand shader parameters from reverse-engineered binary code? Because that's the time-intensive part

I actually feel the same as him.
Resolution and Framerate are great, textures are better yes but still as flat as before. The only 'effects' i noticed right away were enhanced metallic shining on Armors, most of the others were present on PS360 too. Overall what was to be expected, but far less that what was hoped for. I too see no reason at this point to put money in double dipping, and spending time again to begin anew. Maybe at a high discount later this year. I'm still hoping for a definitive version on PS4/Xbone though.

Umbasa.
If only she looked more like she did here:
Pre-order cancelled.

That's some good CGI. Took me a while to realise they weren't actors.
Anyway I think we have enough 'try thrusting' or 'horse but hole' messages as it is.

pfffft. How hard could a few 1s and 0s be? :smug:
Well, I do decompile the 1s and 0s to assembler, I'm not that hardcore
Wait, there is a texture mod for Dark Souls?
I have the digital version so I don't think the load times were as dire for me as some others, but yes that'll be a nice improvement, too.
The framerate though is where it's really at. It's often a disaster on PS3, and playing Dark Souls 1 @ 60 FPS with Durante's fix was glorious.
Pre-order intensifies
Really though, I could give a shit about the missing lighting effects. 1080 and 60 FPS is all I really need.
It has a lot of texture mods. I don't know of any all-encompassing projects to revise the textures of the entire game, but you can get them to change the UI, improve some low-res world textures, decrease the lava glow in Lost Izalith and Demon Ruins, and make certain weapons and armor look different.

60fps will be fucking glorious.
Lava glow mod was practically necessary. What a silly, weird design decision.

Sure was. Made me put in another 200 hours on the PC version after 400 on the consoles.

Plus short loading times and gorgeous shiny metal reflections. It truly is the definitive version to play.
Marketing decision to push console version, where you can milk a bigger audience.
Nope, seems good.

I personally think they made a big mistake. They should have gone all out on the pc version, to get PS4 and Xbone owners excited about the inevitable upgraded port.

I had tearing too, but once I set up vsync in the nvidia control panel for Dark Souls, I never saw it again.

Can someone do a WIF of the GB footage where the dynamic lighting is shown? When they light the first sconce, around the 15 minute mark i think? It showed that the dynamic lighting is still in place, but seemed to be only with that sconce oddly enough

Uh, I don't think we should be expecting anything. I think Durante is mostly satisfied with this version and might not see any real reason to invest the time. I mean it would be nice, but it shouldn't be expected.
I think we should just try to be happy with what's given.

Yup, the turtle shell hammer dudes made me sad by how drab they looked despite their cool design.

Going to be finally getting some Souls achievements for the profile showcase
I want steamcards so goddamn bad. Especially if they used Concept Art. I want a dark soul badge.
And cut out the already out base of 360 and PS3? that would have been a stupid move.

I'll grab it in a steam sale probably, but for now i'll stick to PS3 version.

Their biggest mistake was to target last-gen consoles. That's partially what brought the quality of the game a lot of steps down from their original concept/demo. And I say "partially" because another part of the problem had more to do with a complete lack of organization near the later stages of development. The game feels like a Frankenstein's creature put together in less than 6 months. Disjointed and disconnected in many ways.
