Good news everyone, the infamously hard follow up to Demon’s Souls will be making its PC debut this August according to a German game magazine as confirmed by the fine folks over on NeoGaf. The PC version of Dark Souls will pretty much be a 1:1 port of the consoles, except for the obvious keyboard/mouse stuff and the addition of two new bosses.
I said during our lightning round on the GamerSushi Show that if Dark Souls ever made the jump to PC I would give it a try and it looks like I’m going to have to live up to my statement. I think that the precise commands of a keyboard/mouse setup will be beneficial for the trying world of Dark Souls but I imagine I’ll give my Xbox controller a shot if the game comes with support for it (which it probably will).
Considering the new release lull that we’re getting in to this is a great boon for me and the many other PC gamers on this site who have been intrigued by the challenges of Dark Souls. So, veterans of this game in its console forms, do you have any tips? Should we start making obeisances to the gods of gaming right now? Are you guys excited for this game to make the jump to PC? Go!

I’m not familiar with this game, but I’m really hurting from the lack of new games after I finished my Mass Effect 3 marathon. I suppose I should give this game a try if it’s earned the jump to PCs.
It’s possible the video game industry is waiting until well after The Avengers comes out to try and take our money again.
Well looks like my keyboard and monitor will be in for some punishment. I’m in.
Ah, good, a whole new slew of folks can experience this now. I’ll probably have to buy this even though I’ve already beaten it twice.
Fantastic news, I’ve been hoping this has been coming and I look forward to raging with renewed vigor come August.
Nice! My friend was looking some good RPGs to play now that he has a PC. It’s not turn based (which he really wants to play) but I’m sure he’ll be glad of this regardless.
Speaking of, does anyone know some good JRPG style games for PC that I can recommend my firend?

check out Spiderweb Software, they don’t make JRPG’s but they do make very good turn based RPG’s.
