Steam News announces the release of Dark Souls: Prepare To Die Edition. the PC version of FromSoftware's action/RPG. Word is:

Prepare for a new, mysterious story, centered around the the world of Lodran, but most of all, prepare to die. You will face countless murderous traps, countless darkly grotesque mobs and several gargantuan, supremely powerful demons and dragons bosses. You must learn from death to persist through this unforgiving world. And you aren’t alone.

Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition will include an untold chapter in the world of Lordran where the player must stop the spread of darkness at all costs by facing and defeating the Dark Knight Artorias.

Well, if you recall they even said they weren't going to do anything good. Just do as little work as needed to port it and that was it. This being the case I'll grab it if it hits the bargain bin for the Steam Xmas sale but nothing more. Shame that, because it's a good game otherwise. Freaks me out!

With Durante's fix it's pretty awesome, and fixes the only major issue I have with the port. I'm playing it with a 360 controller, though, and people forcing themselves to use KBM aren't incredibly happy. If you're thinking of picking it up, download Durante's fix (or whatever else comes soon, he's still working on it) and use a controller. I'm horribly rusty after not touching the console version for a while :/

Terrible port. Render resolution is locked at 1024x720 (it just upscales to your selected screen resolution and looks like a blurry mess) and the framerate is capped at 30. Thankfully, someone has already created a hack that lets you set the render resolution: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=488240 Unfortunately, the framerate is still capped at 30.
