You best start believing in OT's, your in one.
I, uhh, think you're in one.
DOH! I was so used to people bitching about the port I completely missed the OT in the title.
Theres also people bitching about people bitching about the port. You have to wonder what will sink this thread first.

Im pretty sure that is just a shaky cam effect. I looks like what they did to give a sense of speed, looks a bit off though.
Just wait until tomorrow. It's gonna be a bloodbath in here, I can't wait.
It only happens when turning a street corner in a car. I could drive straight forever at any speed and not see any stuttering.

Ah, ok. I haven't actually witnessed that one yet. I know my brother always thinks Im getting super low frames when driving because of the speed effects even though its well over 60.

Steam saying the game comes out tomorrow, but not till the evening is just cruel...

Welcome to the OT.

You almost make it sound as if folks prefer discussing games over playing them.

Such a whino OT title. gaf, you are a girl.

You have a heart of gold. Don't let them take it from you.
I have two monitors. I'll be playing Dark Souls on the right with this OT open on the left. It will be glorious.

Glorious, indeed. May the port work out better than we all had been led to believe.
I'm not ready to be that optimistic - At best, the hacks for resolution and framerate will work and come out within a few days of launch.

It would be best if it was figured out ASAP. I can't think of a single good thing that would come from a long delay. If it takes 6 months to remove the caps, I don't think people will suddenly think FROM handled the port well.
What are the chances that simply breaking the rendering resolution will make the game look better?
I heard stuff like that it's useless unless the assets are upgraded to accomodate it. As in, it will look ugly.

Now, do I use a gamepad or mouse and keyboard.... hmmm

Depends on what you mean by "assets". Pretty much any game looks better on a higher resolution with no asset upgrade, if you're talking about anything but the UI. If you're including the UI in this then yes, there needs to be some upgrade to the higher resolutions.

WAT. That is just not how games work, unless we are talking UI
Felix Lighter

No that's not true at all. Higher resolutions will always have a positive effect on the visuals period. Have you ever seen emulated console games rendered at high resolution. The difference can be striking even with low quality assets.
Speaking of, I was just playing Eternal Darkness on an emulator with all sorts of fancy graphical settings at 1080p. It looked pretty amazing.
I dunno man, most Ps2/Wii games look a hella of a lot better with the internal res cranked up and the textures were intended to be 480i/p.
edit: Beaten.
Well, compare Darksiders console and PC. The PC version is the exact same (no texture improvement, no higher poly models...), only with a way higher resolution, and it looks heaps better.

Lemons, lemonade, that whole bit. I didn't have much to work with. Whatever it takes to turn this around for those who pressed hard to make it happen and for everyone who was ready to throw down and make it worth their efforts.
Higher res will reduce aliasing and better resolve detail.
They must have really mucked up something between Demon's and Dark because even their press shots are 1024x720 upscaled to 1440p.

Poking a little fun is all. Welcome to GAF.
Maybe they just hardcoded everything that has to do with resolution and can't easily change it?
Just a reminder, use GameSave Manager (back up immediately after your gaming Session) this might keep you save from losing you gamesaves and gameplay hours forever (still not a a guarantee).
....
anyone here with the boxed version to tell us how bad this port run?

Purely out of curiosity, which resolution is each screen shot?
Boxed version can't be played until it's unlocked online at the same time as everyone else, as some have stated in this (or other DS) thread(s).
The first is ~480p and I'm pretty sure the 2nd is 1080p.
Only in your wettest nerdy dreams.

Could we see the resolution unlocked via mods? My only experience with modding was bit of messing around with Oblivion, and it didn't go so well lol.
If not, I'll probably just get the DLC for ps3, between the locked resolution and GFWL and DRM.

Darksiders II in most senses is a weak port with its low texture quality and hilarious lack of anything resembling graphical options (featuring an in-game vsync toggle which doesn't even work), but it's mostly on par with what we've seen this generation, sadly. It ultimately still runs well and is actually a very pretty game overall due to its art, especially after forcing AA and AO.
Dark Souls is something else altogether.
