[Sammy Samusu]

Superior version confirmed, yay!

Still haven't played the first one.

 

[TheBioLover]

Aww, I wanted a Vita version.

 

[Ysiadmihi]

Nice.

...would like to play the first with a good framerate too though

 

[kami_sama]

I hope this means a PC version of the first game is in the works.

 

[Sid]

Awesome!

 

[Danielsan]

The first one didn't make it to PC did it? I sold my PS3 version and never bothered to finish it (the game really drags), but I wouldn't mind giving a 60fps version another shot.

 

[Kenka]

Yeah
Extatic !
Splendid !!

 

[Brazil]

Cool.

Will still get on PS3, though.

 

[Zarx]

Aw man, I can't play it as I haven't played the first, I really need to buy a PS3

 

[Flying Wonkey]

 

[Aguirre]

Superior version confirmed, yay!

Still haven't played the first one.

-requires constant internet connection
-drm'd to hell
-GFWL

i dunno, just guessing here

 

[ledman]

Glad my GTX 670 is on the way, this game will be demanding, I feeling it.

 

[ArjanN]

Very nice.

Time to youtube the first game I guess.

 

[Lulubop]

Holy shit. Day one.

 

[wazoo]

Now, everybody needs a PC version to have something to show with a bit of punch during trade shows like E3 or gamescon.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

Awesome.

Will still get on PS3 for dem trophies though.

 

[Polk]

Superior version confirmed, yay!

I wouldn't be so sure. It's Konami we are talking about.

 

[Mister0079]

The world would be a better place if every video game had a PC version. This is one step towards that better place.

 

[Hellraider]

Great for those that game on PC!

Still, I wanted a vita version.

 

[Pranay]

Good for PC users.

First game was great, second hopefully should be better. Hopefully frame rate is better in the console version this time around.

Surprise to see no wii u version.

Be grateful that its even coming to pc...

Spoiler

Someone was bound to say it

 

[Gregorn]

I should really start getting into PC gaming.

 

[Castor Krieg]

I hope once the new consoles are out they will continue to support the PC.

 

[Lulubop]

Hopefully we can get part one released on PC as well.

 

[toastyToast]

Nice

Despite how interesting the first one looked, the performance in the demo made me nauseous so I had to pass

Please do good work

 

[Danielsan]

The world would be a better place if every video game had a PC version. This is one step towards that better place.

This world doesn't seem to be too far off with both Microsoft and Sony opting for off the shelf hardware components and Sony even going as far as to release a Playstation store on Android.

 

[rjc571]

Watch it be locked at 20 fps.

 

[Thoraxes]

Now I will actually consider buying this game.

I'll even go out and buy the first game now too.

 

[Eideka]

Place your bets ladies and gentlemen :

-GFWL
-Locked at 30fps
-No graphical improvements (same textures as the console versions, no DX11, no additionnal effects, no vsync, no AA)
-Poor optimization
-Bugs/crashes galore
-No post release support of any kind.
-Internal framebuffer of 720p.
-No keyboard & mouse controls.

 

[Defuser]

So I was right. It better be on Steam.

Wow, I didn't remember a pc porting with all those flaws ... really there are game locked at 30 fps & 720p on pc?

Bunch of drama queens. Except for a couple of rare exceptions PC ports are generally great nowadays.

Dark Souls, but it's an exception.

Well, technically speaking it's not even 720p...

 

[Sentenza]

Yep.

 

[eXistor]

Always good news, too bad about Wii U though.

 

[StoppedInTracks]

Worst thing is Dark Souls has internal framebuffer set to SUB-HD resolution.

LoS2 will for surely be a proper PC release with 60 fps and up to 2500x1600 resolution compatibility

 

[The M.O.B]

First thing I will do is turn off that awful vaseline smearing motion blur.

Note to Mercurysteam, Vaseline motion blur is an terrible "trick" to hide the bad framerate and you should feel bad for doing it.

 

[Evershade]

Excellent. The first was definitely marred by performance issues on the PS3.

 

[alexandros]

Capcom ports are actually very good if we exclude the GWFL shenanigans. One can hope that some day they'll see the light and go Steamworks.

 

[dark10x]

Excellent. The first was definitely marred by performance issues on the PS3.

It was worse on 360.

The first game simply didn't run well on either platform and it really did hurt the experience.

This should go a long way towards saving the sequel.

 

[StoppedInTracks]

Cool.

Will still get on PS3, though.

Awesome.

Will still get on PS3 for dem trophies though.

And I will... not cause LoS1 ran like fucking dogshit on the PS3. Sub 20 fps all around.

This time, PC for me. I will not believe MercSteam they "fixed" the framerate for PS3 version of LoS2.

 

[gabbre]

Wow, so many PC haters. IIRC Mercury has experience on the PC platform.

 

[DieH@rd]

Thank you Capacpcom bosses!

 

[DerZuhälter]

So what about LoS 1? Maybe a rerelease on steam?

 

[Corto]

Bueno!

 

[Sentenza]

Thank you Capacpcom bosses!

Uhm, wasn't this game from Konami?

 

[gabbre]

Thank you Capacpcom bosses!

Castlevania is built in with Capcom's MT Framework

 

[Mr. RHC]

I have a feeling that the game will look impressive on PC! I'm getting the console version though.

I hope they push the limits with this one.

Edit: haha, based Capcom.

 

[DieH@rd]

My bad.

But still... Thank you Konami bossess!!!!
