Re: DARK SOULS - Coming to PC, new area and bosses!

Apparently they are, WOOOOOOO

Dark Souls PC for Steam, extra content for console • News • PC • Eurogamer.net

oh kupo yeah from soft dev of the year

Good to finally know the DLC will be available for consoles.

 

[Haeralis]

If Demons Souls was PS3 exclusive, then why was this a multiplat game? Not a problem, I am just wondering.

 

[Apostle]

I'm not 100% sure on this, but iirc it WAS PS3 exclusive in japan, and was ported to 360 in the states and other places by Namco Bandai to reach a wider audience and make more money.

Demon's Souls was probably never multiplat because From and Atlus weren't sure it would do too well on the western market.

 

[Zen]

Demon's Souls was originally only for Japan, but after seeing a large number of imports, Atlus decided to bring it over to the west. Sold quite a bit more than they anticipated. DS being exclusive probably has something to do with the fact that Sony published it in Japan; it is very likely they never thought about the 360.

Dark Souls, on the other hand, from the start there was a 360 version in mind.

The console version of the Prepare to Die Edition will be available alongside the PC port -- but DLC for the original retail disks is going to be released in October.

 

[Love Machine]

So it seems as if we're going to kill all of Lord Gwyn's faithful knights?

 

[Ordeith]

I've since found a preview article, with plenty of new information:
Preview: Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition -Destructoid

(My apologies for the rapid replies, everybody; I'm just so excited for this new content!)

I don't know whether Ciaran will be fought, but I know that Hawkeye Gough will be an ally.

That's great, I have enough to play until October anyway.

 

[Love Machine]

The launch trailer includes some gameplay footage against the new dragon-type boss, and briefly showcases the Sniper of Carim's armor set. It also shows Hawkeye Gough living up to his moniker.

Loving PTDE so far! My first toon is chugging along nicely; just beat the Gargoyles (Idk if it's just because I haven't fought them in a while, but they seemed a bit faster than they usually are...) and going to head down to Capra pretty soon. I might jog back to the burg and use my cracked red eye orbs to see if I can't kill any newbies with my +5 Claymore ;D

Also, I couldn't resist picking the pendant as a starting gift

Guys, just so it's known: There's a patch/fix out for the PC version that significantly improves the visual fidelity of the game, even though there was no official bump in graphics or upscaling by From Software. It's an internal rendering fix called DSFix, and the results are great.

So has anyone gotten to the new content yet?
