Successor of Demon's Souls. Project Dark becomes Dark Souls (PS3, Xbox360 and.... PC)

Huzzah!

Hope it has game controller support, because believe you me, it would be WAY much harder playing it with kb + mouse.

I actually think a KB + mouse works much better for Demon's Souls an Dark Souls. I tried playing these games with the Sixaxis and hated it. Switched to the mouse and keyboard and its so much easier. Right click to attack, left click to lock on to a target. No fiddling around with the stupid analog stick to target an enemy and having real mouselook makes the games 100x easier, imho.

[MrDuck]

Dunno, man. Targetting with the analog stick was never a hassle at all. Granted, mouselook could make camera turning faster and smoother, but I'll stick to the precise controls (as far as movement goes) of the analog, specially in those narrow places.

Nah, I respect mouse + kb combo and it's probably a controller scheme you're more accustomed to, but I've never found it to be a win-all solution for any game. Some controller types work best for certain genres/games and others you're just more used to a certain control type.

But again, I do hope Fromsoftware does give us choice and I'll be happy.

[Sulphur]

Wait a dang minute. I can use my mouse and keyboard with Demon's Souls on the PS3? Well sheeit. Nice to have that option, even if using it would be likely to give me a goddamn neck sprain. Time to get me some wireless shiznit.

Right click to attack, left click to lock on to a target.

Left mouse button is attack.
Right mouse button is jump.

[EvaUnit02]

RMB is ADS, actually.

[Ashok0]

FYI guys Im playing Demon Souls with a mouse and keyboard with the XIM adapter. I play with left click and middle mouse button set to attack and power attack. Right click auto targets. Control and Shift are set to Block and Parry. Q/E toggle my items. Walk with WSAD and use mouse for mouselook, it feels great. I guess its personal preference if its better than the Sixaxis but I dont see PC users having any issues with Dark Souls.

[MrDuck]

True, the majority of PC gamers are used to kb + mouse combo, we'll see how well they fare.

I'm both a console and PC gamer, so I've always felt more at ease with a certain contol scheme in some games than in others. In this case gamepad + analog sticks for Demon's and Dark Souls. Hell, I shudder to think of playing Super Meat Boy with a keyboard.

Controller debate aside, I'm just glad the PC crowd will get to taste the awesomeness of Dark Souls, and since neither game are related story/world wise, just the core mechanics, you don't need Demon's to play (though it would be nice if they eventually ported it, buuuut that's wishful thinking, methinks).

Don't you have a MMB? Go back to 1995

[dethtoll]

SKIPPING

[EvaUnit02]

Don't you have a MMB? Go back to 1995

MMB is reserved for melee, n00b.

[dethtoll]

Fuck that. Melee is RMB all the way baby.

[CCCToad]

Dammit. It looks like I'm going to have to make an exception to my "no new game purchases once I get home" rule.

[Koki]

SKIPPING

Haha, well that saves me on a potential "should I buy?" conundrum.

And melee button is C, scrubs.

[dethtoll]

then how the fuck do you crouch you knob

[henke]

Wow that RPS comments thread is depressing. There's a petition to remove GFWL? After finally getting the game to PC, people are threatening not to buy it because of some trivial bullshit like that? It was probably a bad move for Namco to respond to the petition in the first place because now people are gonna petition for every little thing that comes up. "Petition for no DRM!" "Petition because the game is too expensive!" Jesus Christ, give PC gamers a hand and they'll take an arm. I can understand why developers steer clear of the platform.

I'd feel geniunely bad for Namco if I thought there was actually any bite to all this barking but most likely half of the people vowing not to buy the game unless GFWL is removed will buy it anyway, and the other half never intended to buy it in the first place but just likes to take any opportunity to bitch.

ANYWAY, nice trailer. I see there are some new environments in there as well as new bossfights. Might well pick this up myself during some sale later on, just to experience the new content.

[dethtoll]

I actually didn't really care whether or not this game was coming to PC -- I had mild interest, but now I have no interest. So I don't fit in either of those categories.

[Koki]

then how the fuck do you crouch you knob

Space?

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUH

If you crouch with C how do you strafe right when crouching?

[icemann]

As much as I would prefer for the game to be on Steam or GOG I'll definitely be getting this game. LOVED Demon Souls on ps3. Have to beat that game someday.

[dethtoll]

Space?

If you crouch with C how do you strafe right when crouching?

The same way I strafe left when I'm crouching -- I use my fucking fingers.

[Koki]

So you press C with your thumb?

You sick fuck.

[Koki]

As much as I would prefer for the game to be on Steam or GOG

You can pre-purchase it on Steam now.

For some bizarre fucking reason I don't understand. Did GFW get dropped or something? Or is it for those hardcore Valvebots who don't mind running two damn online DRMs just so they can have the game on their Steams?

[Malf]

As far as I was aware, they are genuinely using GFWL for matchmaking.

[Pemptus]

Arkham City, for example, has no problem being loaded with both Steam and GFWL, so they're hardly exclusive.

Which chugs dicks.

[Renzatic]

Dark Souls PC

Or at least I will be after midnight tonight, cuz stupid release dates are stupid dumb. I mean hell, I've already got the damn thing downloaded, why can't I just play it? But oh no! That's not the way things are done! I gotta wait for magic day or some stupid bullshit.

I am so. fucking. MADDDD! HATE!

[MrDuck]

Give it a few hours of playing it after you install it to -really- get angry
