They're definitely harder. I don't think we have enough information to establish if that's in a good way or a bad way yet.
Yeah everyone is getting this currently.
The non upgrade version seems fine though...

I'm pretty used to the series but that's good to hear. Something about the sequel rubbed me the wrong way. Some enemy placements at the start were over the top and some at the end were borderline insane. Then there's loads in between that were kinda stale. I'm tempted to give this another shot after BB since the dlc is all new to me.
I'm gonna wait on the verdict from GAF though I think since honestly, I know it's old hat but I was on the bad end of the hit detection often enough to drag it down a bit and the enemy placements were already doing that for me. Good to see they're planning to tweak them.
It's okay to be excited for amazing games.

Will this newer version fix the issues with hit boxes, lag, etc? If not, I see no reason to buy this.

Nope. It also wont work with Durantes GeDoSaTo or with ENB mod. So in effect the DX11 version of this game cannot look as good as the DX9 version with mods.
SteamDB link if you don't want to keep manually checking by adding to cart. Once the sub is updated (currently 14 minutes ago) it'll likely be fixed.

On consoles? It would be a definite upgrade as it does run at 60fps and I'm pretty sure it runs at 1080p as well.
This is a problem with game walls and not the hit detection.
You can hit the pig in this scenario and it can hit you back because its body is acting as if there's no wall.
I don't see a phantom hit box here.

60 FPS isn't necessarily an upgrade. Console users will now have the durability bug, along with less effective iframe invulnerability.
Indeed. But by the same token, you are still being hit when you are not supposed to be hit. So in that sense, same sort of problem. One that I have had in every Souls game and Bloodborne. But it did not sour the experience for me at all.
It appears so.

So will we finally see DX11 screenshots soon? I'm really curious as to comparisons with the DX9.
Oh, I guess bad wall collisions are A-OK then.

Got the money but I'm going to wait to see how it looks, runs, sells before buying the upgrade. I'm all about PvP and if the split kills the community there's no point in me buying it.
Yes, which is bullshit. People like to say "tough, but fair!" while ignoring the bulkshit the games throw at you. Both hit detection and clipping are the games breaking realism to fuck you.
Edit: less abrasive. Sorry, on phone.

Wait a minute... is it coming out today for PC?
I thought it was releasing on PS4, Xbone and PC on April 7th..?

most people play it more defensively (with a shield), you can not use a shield, but you never have near as much stamina to roll around forever like you do in BB, keep that in mind
but plenty of people play without shields. and theres magic too, you can just play a mage
Same sort of style, but slower, no quick-step (only a roll and back step) and equipment can weigh you down. But on the bright side, you have so many more options to play around with when it comes to your build.
PC is out now. consoles later lol. who ever htought eh? pc before consoles lol

Sorry but this is bullshit. Same with the earlier GIF you posted. That's not a hitbox issue, that's some sort of clipping issue.
Demon Souls and Dark Souls 1 have been out for a considerably long time.
But Dark Souls 2 is the one with the majority of hitbox issues. I'm not suggesting that the other games are not prone with said issue, I'm suggesting that Dark Souls 2 is the biggest offender.
There are so many GIFs and videos with Dark Souls 2 hitbox issues. But if all you have is one or two GIFs from BB and nothing from Demon Souls and Dark Souls 1, then I really don't see where this is heading.
You want to praise DS2? Fine. I'm okay with that. I enjoyed DS2.
But in no world are it's hitbox issues the same as DeS/DkS/BB. It has significantly more problems.

I'd say very different.
Blocking isn't really much of an option in Bloodborne. The game is designed around dodging. Dark Souls is very much a blocking AND rolling game.
Also like Rhaknar said, using magic lets you attack from a much longer range than in Bloodborne.

I'm guessing the release would be too close to BB on the playstation so pushed the consoles back a week to create a bit of breathing room. Honestly I'm not even done with BB yet so it's kind of handy to keep me from being tempted.

Yes and No.
BB is the same core gameplay but faster and being able to dash cancel like crazy while in Dark Souls the gameplay is slower and dashing consumes a lot of stamina if you are not careful enough so you have to invest more time evaluating your gear and weight stats.
Dark Souls have more variety about facing the enemies compared to BB but it really depends of how you play, like me I usually play ranged instead of melee but you can see people going full melee with greatswords or use shields (or the new attack shield mechanics).
