Dark Souls PC Will Be On Steam, Consoles to Play Catchup

[News Portal]

The upcoming PC edition of the famously grueling Dark Souls will be coming to Steam, Namco Bandai have revealed. Launching on August 24, the version will come with extra areas, boss types, NPC's and more, which will be made retrospectively available to console owners of the original game as the 'Artorias of the Abyss' DLC, priced at 1200 MS points on 360 or USD $14.99 on PS3.

Did anything come of that petition to stop Dark Souls PC from using GFWL?

Did anything come of that petition to stop Dark Souls PC from using GFWL?

Apparently not. If you clicked through on the source and watched the trailer, you'd see the GFWL logo.

Makes sense - it's built into the X360 version (obviously) and it makes for an easier port to keep it. The number of people who would boycott it for that reason aren't going to make up for the cost/hassle of removing it.

I have been very annoyed with GFWL of late because backed up saves don't work which means playing Dark Souls is just asking for trouble as you could easily lose a lot of progress very quickly.

Can we not turn this in to ANOTHER **** and moan fest about GFWL. The other 10 Dark Souls threads that were inundated with it was enough.

Glad they decided to release the extra content for the console crowd should be good fun with some more bosses and monsters running around. New areas too! Hopefully they made these extra areas REALLY difficult.

WOOHOOO DARK SOULS EXPANSION PACK!


*hugs for hat tip*...

Can't wait for this game although it has 30fps/720p limit and GWFL, I will get it because free content balances mostly off. You aren't playing for the graphics you playing for the Unique art style, Difficultly and its RPG features

Not too far away. Can't wait to die over and over again. Again.
