Wait, wait, wait.
So not only is the new content free of charge for last gen owners, the three previous DLCs are going to be free too?
Someone please confirm.
From don't make these decisions. Miyazaki was pissed Bamco held the DS DLC back from console players last time.I actually regret buying a PS4 more than I did before because now I don't want to spend a dime on Bloodborne.
What they're doing with the PC release is ridiculous, I hope people bitch loudly about it.
You know. The only thing that would make me less sour on this whole ordeal is if PS4, Xbone and DX11 players could play together. And at the very least dedis for arena fights.

40 replies on the community forum in an hour... seems fairly vocal. Hoping this blows up somehow.
No, the 3 DLCs are not going to be free.

I made a post on reddit about it and it was deleted and they asked me to keep all mu dlc related discussion in it's giant stupid megathread.
On next-gen consoles and DX11 PCs, the compilation includes Dark Souls II, its three DLC chapters, and new game content including more enemies, different enemy placement, and an increased number of players allowed in multiplayer.
Scholar of the First Sin on PS3, Xbox 360, and DX9 PCs includes Dark Souls II and the three DLC chapters as well, but none of the previously listed additions.

How boneheaded of them. It makes things better for users on their platform as well. And in the case of 14, they don't even maintain the servers. This fucking industry, sometimes I don't know what to say: lol.Microsoft will never agree to that. See FFXIV: ARR.
Wonder what i get for free if i only have DS2 for pc without dlc and season pass.
So, umm, I'm seeing here some conflicting reports. Polygon says that the last gen versions are getting the gameplay and content upgrades as well, but IGN seems to disagree.

Which is it now?
Not the graphical enhancements. If you want those you better wait. No upgrades either because Scamco's gonna scam.So existing owners get this new edition for free?
Guess i'll buy the game on the upcoming steam sale and wait for april to get the update.
SCE and Namco have nothing to do with each other as far as product decision making goes. The fact that the releases are likely to be four weeks apart shows that. The lack of PS3 > PS4, 360 > One, and uh... PC > PC is crazy though. The last time I remember something basically the same being split six ways was all the crazy ranked/player duplication of game modes in GTA IV + episodes. I wonder if this was planned all along, or simply a response to the fairly obvious shift of software sales to the new platforms. On one hand it is incredibly obvious, on the other hand, their implementation seems like a hasty mess. Either way, I'm glad I passed on it earlier this year.I actually regret buying a PS4 more than I did before because now I don't want to spend a dime on Bloodborne.

7 months to the date of the PC version... this is Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 tier fuckery
Enemy and game design adjustments (Only included in next-gen versions of SoFS)
So it is treated as two different products on PC as far as player interaction goes? Somebody did not think this through at all.Okay we have an official super clear comparison between all the versions of this re-release, including a comparison with what will be in the 1.10 Patch for last-gen owners.

man i would gladly fucking QUAD dip for pc marvel 3, i wish that game even had half the support that ds2 did
Check out clever clogs over here.
If it's "okay" and you feel so great about yourself, why don't you go back to fighting the good fight by just enjoying the games you enjoy. You think anyone's gonna be swayed by such "part of the problem" nonsense?
Go ahead and call the publishers liars every time this happens. It's never going to change the way they operate. Just make your own informed decisions and buy/play what you want to play.
No, the 3 DLCs are not going to be free.
