Giant Bomb's preview of the PC version- 1 hour long.

I know some of you people were expecting the PC version to have the lighting that was shown in the pre-release trailers, seems the PC version didn't get that.

Credits go to fluffydelusions at NeoGAF

Edit: Seems like people posting are confused to what the topic is about. This is what From Software advertised how the game would look like and is what the fans expected. The console versions did not have the lighting that was shown in these trailers and of course the consumers were angry.

PC enthusiasts were worried that they would have the same lighting even though the hardware can handle it. That's what I'm trying to show, the purpose of the thread is not to show that Dark Souls II looks better than the console versions, but like the console versions, the PC version of the game did not get the lighting that was shown in the pre-release trailers since so many people were hoping that the PC version would get it and were even blindly saying the pre-release trailers were based on the PC version.

well... think again, it true, they do say that they will down grade the game to match with console.... but to be think that will apply to pc version as well is....kind of crestfallen

I was afraid when I saw these Neogaf screenshots, but the video convinced me that the game looks good on PC. Praise the Sun !

indeed i was convinced by that video, i was unsure of which platform to play it with, going for PC and waiting for the modders to add something juicy to add up

Well, the PC version still looks better. All those console videos i've seen so far were quite...blurry and colorless. This one is much sharper, and there are colors.

Anyway, i'm sure that the modders will improve the game even further, so i can't see any problems.

But people want these visual showed in the pre-release trailer!

Hope modders will bring them out of the code.

Whoop dee doo, things change when it's unfinished. You can just look at a video a week before a game is released and judge by that. Instead of looking at a year old demo. :| I'll take the 60 fps and minimal load screens and I'm on my way.

Yeah, I'm pretty pleased with the PC "port". All I wanted was a stable and better looking version with low loading times. Looking forward to playing the game.

Once again lazy devs leave the grunt work to modders...I would not support this game, just my view, game releases later on PC and doesn't even have true PC features/visual, what exactly was the wait for? Higher resolutions and slightly better textures(Mainly due to resolutions.)

Lazy bastards.

With DS its more about the art style than the actual graphics. The PC version looked fine in those vids except for they didnt show off any lighting effects. I'll pass judgement on those segments when I play it myself.
