Not directly, iirc. I think they mentioned they know of the fix.
That's a shame. They missed an opportunity there.

If the alternative is no port, get right outta town.
The problem for people like me is, i don't like playing games with a controller when i'm on my pc, sure i could use my tv but fuck it, i'm at my desk, let me use my mouse and keyboard.
Ah, Durante himself! I just want to thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for making this mod. It opens up this game in such a wonderful way. I really wish Namco-Bandai/FROM would patch your fix into the game and give you a credit. And ideally they'd cut you a check -- who knows how many copies of the game you've sold people with your mod.Neiteio, I love that shot with the Pisacas. Oh, and there's a texture mod to fix the spiderwebs around the Daughter of Chaos, which are one of the few genuine instances of distractingly low-res textures in the game.
I don't know why people think this game looks so good and post so many screenshots of it in the screenshot threads. It looks like the most bland game ever. It's always a screenshot of your character (who looks decent) amidst a very boring green/brown castle or landscape. Sometimes there's a giant monster in the screenshot too. But everything except the player/monster looks horrible.
also, I don't own it and have never played it. so, yeah, my opinion's kinda worthless
The game has a haunting dreamlike quality -- it's almost surreal. But I suspect this is simply a case of different opinions, rather than a matter of you playing the game or not. I say this because even before playing Dark Souls, I thought the imagery looked striking.I don't know why people think this game looks so good and post so many screenshots of it in the screenshot threads.

Here are some screens I took using only DSFix, from my ongoing LTTP/world design appreciation thread. There is some aliasing here and there, but all in all, I like how they look (especially now that I know how to turn off the HUD!):

I'm at my desk too though. I don't really see the problem with using a controller at a desk.
The greater precision of a mouse is of most benefit when you're playing first-person shooters, and to a lesser degree third-person shooters. In Dark Souls it's mainly sword combat though. Controlling the movement of a character that is shown onscreen is always going to be easier with an Analogue stick than it is using a keyboard. The ergonomics of the button layout makes pulling off moves much easier too.

"No surprises left" is a bit of an exaggeration -- there is SO much amazing imagery in this game -- but I will err on the side of caution and follow your advice. You can see the amended post here, which redirects people to my LTTP, advising them to start after the 100-post mark for HUD-less screens.Those screenshots are spoilerific! No surprises left for people who haven't played the game.
As long as Durante has a pulse, everyone does.Fuck this game, who the hell wanted this pos on PC
yes.

This is a perfect example of devs not giving a single fuck.
Mo money? Sure. Spend a few hours and port the game to PC. Put zero effort in. People will still buy it and we can let the community do all the work. GENIUS! Hopefully someone will call gamers entitled if they dare question the game. Minimal effort. Next.

Let's also not forget, the PC version came with all of the DLC, some time before it appeared on consoles. Huge new areas, enemies, NPCs, items, four bosses, etc.Let's not blow things out of proportion here. At least they made it clear that they had no idea how to do a PC port and only did it because of a petition, not for a quick cash in.
As far as I remember, they also did let us know beforehand that the port would be terrible. And there wasn't much to do after Durante fixed it (withing days or even hours, I believe). People got the game they were begging for and the developers, despite practically not knowing anything about porting, gave it to them.

So, are you going to ask for a refund?

Exactly, I don't understand why people are defending this.
Well holy hell friend. You made the thread.I'm not downloading any fix for this game, it would mean I supported this shitty product which I don't want to.
Suppose it will work out appropriately as you plainly do not deserve to experience this masterpiece.Probably.

So what's this thing about pointing out a user made mod, (like it's a bad thing), that fixes the game if it fixes the game? Doesn't make it any less valid of a fix just because it's not officially from the source developer. If it corrects the resolution and fixes the framerate, then there's no point in pointing out that it's a "fan made" mod. Seems kind of disrespectful to the mod maker.
Because reality is better than idealism.Exactly, I don't understand why people are defending this.

How much did you pay for it?Probably.
Absolutely.While the fix is great, it still doesn't justify the company releasing the game in that state.

Nope, at it's worst it is an exact port of the 360 game which was pushing the limits of that console. I would agree that the only major problem is the complete horrible m&k controls. Completely unplayable. However based Durante saved the game and turn it into the definitive version of the game. I was playing at twice the resolution of my monitor and downsampling, something the console versions don't come even close to touching. Oh and and as major benefit, the game runs a hell of a lot better with the potential to run at 60 fps if you feel adventurous.
Lastly OP, FROM is making the pc the lead version for the DS2.
