Players in Japan will get their hands on From Software's latest early next year.
We get our first bloody look at From Software's follow-up to Dark Souls.
During its E3 press conference, Sony showed off Bloodborne, the latest from From Software and Sony's Japan Studio and the apparent finalized name of the rumored Project Beast. It's coming in 2015, and a moody trailer shows off the grim spectacle.
From Software's next project might have just been revealed via a brief online video.
Japanese media conglomerate Kadokawa has acquired From Software, developer of games like Dark Souls, Armored Core, and Otogi.
Admitting that Bandai Namco offers gamers "a good PC port," Thoman criticizes a few aspects of the game, calling them "significant shortcomings." For example, HBAO+ is of "terrific quality," but is buggy and can only be used on NVIDIA cards. SGSAA takes too much of a performance hit, and SweetFX negatively affects the HUD and UI. "We can do better than that," he says.
The wait is over for PC players, especially for the numerous fans that populate the Shacknews community. Dark Souls II is out now on Steam, hours before its announced April 25 release date.
A side-by-side comparison video for Dark Souls 2 shows just how much better the PC version looks.
A screenshot of Dark Souls 2 on PC shows the various graphical options players may be able to toggle when it hits later this month.
In an upcoming patch in Japan, Dark Souls 2 will get a special item that eases the game difficulty, but awards players with fewer souls.
