Everything started whit one single user some months ago - to be precise, back in early 2011 - who proposed a PC version of the RPG Dark Souls in its publishers, namely Namco Bandai, board. However such effort would have been serious business, so it finally got denied.
Now almost a year later, the debate got restarted. The reason given for this revive is the large scale of success other RPGs like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim or The Wichter were able to work out.
Finally an adminstrator of Namco Bandai started a petition to check whether there are enough potential buyers for a possible PC version. Current stage of affairs:Quote:
A port of this game has a high chance of being extremely successful for From Software and Namco Bandai. Given the sales of games such as The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim and The Witcher, there is a large market for games like this. PC gamers love unforgiving, hardcore games.
As the thread has yet reached a size of 39 pages the prospects are not as dark as the game itself.Quote:
Nearly 35,000 signatures on the petition. Could we please get an official response? We'd like to know if this is being taken seriously.
