Dark Souls PC Details

Following the announcement of From Software's fantasy role-playing game Dark Souls for Windows, Namco Bandai revealed some additional details. Previously it was known the PC version, called the Prepare to Die Edition, would include new armor sets, bosses and explorable areas. In an interview with GameSpy, From Software recommended a gamepad to play the PC version and said there won't be much difference visually between the console version and the upcoming PC version.

Along with the Prepare to Die Edition's announcement was the reveal that it would be integrated with Games for Windows Live. According to Namco Bandai's Carlson Choi, that's apparently not a definite thing. Dark Souls was announced for PC in part because of a popular online petition signed by nearly 100,000 fans, and another petition popped up shortly after the announcement requesting GFWL be removed. "Discussion is still going on with the From Software team," Choi told Gamespy when pressed, indicating GFWL may wind up being removed.

Choi mentioned that more may be revealed about the Prepare to Die Edition at E3 2012, which takes place in early June 2012.
