Really hope they also have no GFWL.
A PC version is completely pointless to me if it has it again. Online is such a huge part of the Souls games and since GFWL never works without port, NAT or dropped connections, it's game breaking stuff. You literally lose a defining aspect of Souls.
I'd stick to the PS3 version if PC had GFWL - even with 60fps and better graphics, it might as well not even exist.

That wasn't Second Chance's fault that was Grass'! And Thomas..

Well the boxart released has no GFWL logo..
Furthermore I think GFWL was used in DS1 because it was a very lazy port and they wanted to make the minimum effort in their 360 -> PC conversion; GFWL probably helped a little in replicating XBL functionality as easy as possible.
This time that the game is leading on PC, I doubt they will go the same route.

At what detail level? Hopefully one can lower the details to increase the framerate if he wants..
So they have to develop an entirely new engine, for next gen?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, please don't do this FROM
Please !???!!
If it's available on PC, the code must be simple and relatively low cost to port over to next gen right? Guys I need some hope here.
There are no signs of GFWL on the official website, but there is a big ass steam logo. Maybe its steamworks. :lol

The E3 trailer had a Steam logo at the end, GFWL is dead.

So this should mean no delay for the PC version vs consoles right? Simultaneous launch?
Current plans for release were probably locked in before From Software had spent any/enough time with next-gen devkits. I assume next-gen versions are coming at some point, maybe for an expanded GOTY version like Prepare to Die Edition on PC.
Without a doubt, now that they're leading on PC.
Maybe a weird, conflicted kind of pleased, since they may have copied his AO implementation from DSFix.

60fps on pc is definitely the way to go.
Only indirectly, in acknowledging how much people wanted it on PC and admitting that the PC port could have been better.
...Or not so indirectly. Apparently Dark Souls II has ambient occlusion that produces exactly the same artifacts as the type Durante made for DSFix.
Agreed. After using the Durante Fix and unlocking that 60fps, its the only way I want to play it. Come on Xbox One Version!

As much as I would love to be playing the game on my PC in 60fps, I'm still gonna settle for the PS3 version. The PS3 version has a pretty hardcore international community that goes back to the Demon Souls days. When I played Dark Souls on PC it felt like something was missing. Well maybe a lot of that had to do with GFWL dropping 9 out of every ten connections, but even when I did connect, there weren't any friendly Japanese folks willing to wait with me at a boss door for 30+ minutes until we got another player.
Ah, who the fuck am I kidding? I'll probably just get both.

gfwl was my sole disappointment from the game

"hello?" "this is vagina"
Was cheating/hacking a problem on the PC version of Dark Souls? I'd like to move over for the next game, but not if online fairness is lost.
120 or bust. IIRC Durante didn't care for 120fps when asked about it, so I assume he has a 60hz monitor and hasn't seen the light. 120hzGAF need to get some funds together and get Durante a 120hz monitor, he won't be letting the world settle for 60fps DS2 after he tries a game at 120fps.

Yes for every game next gen hopefully.
Leading on the pc hopefully is the norm next gen, why develop with weaker consoles as the lead when you can get the most out of the game by pc leading.
Also lol at drinking oj from a snifter.
