YES. Only played the demo for this on 360 but I remembered enjoying it.
This is a remaster that is actually going to benefit from coming to more powerful hardware. PS3/360 Dragon's Dogma had damn near unplayable framerate, ruined the game for me.
IF I can run this game at the resolution I want with 60+ FPS, I'm going to be stoked as fuck and yeah, it'll be the first remaster I've ever been excited for.

Favorite game from last gen. Now I can experience the sensation of abusing "thousand kisses" while mounting giant beasts at 60FPS. The joy of of video games.

i wouldnt expect the title to come to consoles if they didn't mention it here. And honestly the game isn't that hard to run.

I wish I had the time to get really invested in this game, with a well optimized level 200 Arisen. It's so good, but it takes too long to develop an ideally balanced character.
Maybe this PC version will grace us with console commands that let us skip the long grind. Or maybe modders will save us.

Hell yeah, pretty keen for this. Loved it on PS3, especially when I got the Berserk armour & sword pretending to be Guts.

Yeah I'm not expecting it. The PS3 version is still good enough for me, but I'm glad more people will get to experience this gem.

God damn it I just bought it on 360 a couple of months ago too.
Well, still though, great news.

I've been waiting for this day! I Platinum'd the game on PS3 and almost got all Achievements on 360, the game was that good but it honestly can be way better. Can't wait to run my Assassin class again:

Also, dat Maelstrom in 60 fps will be glorious.

YES. I loved this game. Played it back-to-back 3 times in a row. Now it will live forever on my steam list.
It's because of port begging that this even exists.

Now all I need are Halo: MCC and Bayonetta on PC and my life will be complete.

not likely but lord knows this forum is one of the ones with the most feverish love for the game.
Capcom probably thought "You know, the engine already runs great on PC and we're doing Dragons Dogma Online, might as well throw a couple extra bucks on this project pile and port Dark Arisen to PC and make some free money"

The irony is that Capcom is likely using this superior game to gauge interest in a very inferior one.
I'm level 30 in DDON and I can tell you that it offers very little of what made the original DD fun, it's totally party-oriented and a grind-fest post level 10.

thanks for the heads up. Hopefully this sells well so even if they decide to bring DDO to the west and it tanks they can look at it and realize maybe it's the game itself and not the series.
All I know is that with this my interest for DDO is back to zero.

I got this on PS+ and never finished it before I let the sub run out. Looking forward to the PC release.
How would that even work?

Gotta love technicalities. This year has been filled with nothing but gaming miracles that pleases the fan. Heck, this decade alone. Still awaiting the announcement for a port of a certain Western.Technically, this is an old game, so you wouldn't be breaking any policies, would you?
How would you propose they accomplish that?

clearly it's as simple as Steam and Microsoft and Sony joining forces to make "Steam Network Live", the mother of online services.

First quarter next year is looking good. Off the top of my head I have. Dark Arisen, Dark Souls 3, Uncharted 4, Rise of the Tomb Raider....That's just PC/PS4, but that's what I'm looking forward to.
When the store page goes up, will there be a pre-purchase option? If so, will there be any pre-purchase incentives, such as a digital version of the soundtrack?

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
Oh man, I just fired it up on PS3 to remind myself, and ended up playing for 2 hours. Even with the sluggishness and the small screen size, it's just so cool to run around in. The world they built is still impressive. And jumping on a giant ogre's back to stab it in the head is still great.
I bet this game is going to get a big wave of appreciation it never did in January.

lol pretty much this, except 360. ;p
Now I wish I had a halfway decent PC to play this again xD
I GUARANTEE you it will sell the most copies on the PC platform.
Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition ("with Artorias of the Abyss") has sold 2,765,000 units worldwide PC version sold: 2,111,500
Dark Souls 2 has sold 2,311,000 units worldwide PC version sold 1,023,812
Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin has sold 600,000 units worldwide PC version sold 306,452
They want that Dark Souls money.

A. Hopefully the modding community jumps on it and makes a multiplayer mod. Will definitely get..:Wesker:.

Hopefully there will be some crazy high draw distance / LoD settings in there somewhere. Destroy pop-in.
I'm curious how it could have taken Capcom over three years to realize this game has huge potential on PC. It's so obvious.
I don't disagree with the hypothesis, but how is this evidence to support such a statement, here it clearly shows a similar game selling consistently less on the pc than world wide on the console.
