Any confirmation on that? Not that I doubt it (I don't want to doubt it) but I can't find anything concrete on PCGamer's site other than they had the Weekender event.
I posted 2 of my sources who were there in the press release thread
also they posted on reddit in the 'its happening' thread on dark souls 3 reddit (mobile atm sorry for no link)
edit:lies-here are the links cause this shit is important

Hey, if someone refuses to pay full price for a game that doesn't even reach 60 frames per second, that's their prerogative.
I won't refund it because I wouldn't buy it in the first place, if it's locked at 30.
What it has come down to, for me, is that games more than likely find ways for me not to want to play them. I already have too many games to play as it is, so if an action game releases on PC at 30 fps, it saves me the time and money that I can use on better products.
I'll refund it, wait a week or so after release to see if anyone can fix it, and if they don't/can't I'll use that money to buy it used on PS4. It's one of my most anticipated games this year but I'm willing to wait a week or so.

Makes no difference to me, as long as I can run it on higher resolution.
Can't really understand people that will refund if it's locked to 30fps, willingly skipping the game of the year, but yeah their loss.
I do hope it's 60, and if it's not confirmed yet I wouldn't lose my sleep over it yet. Maybe play some Demon's or GoaT Bloodborne to get used to it.

Zestiria was great, the only bad thing about it was the 30 FPS lock.
Symphonia, on the other hand, sucked.
Welp, that wraps it up.
Because not playing a game, even if it's Dark Souls 3, is not the end of the world?

Yeah I mean, I'm a pretty big advocate of 60+ FPS... it makes any and all games better. But I'm not going to miss out on an amazing game just because it isn't. Seems pretty silly to me. Besides, while it is disappointing I have no doubt that someone will fix it eventually.

I feel like some people genuinely cant fathom someone voting with their wallet on principle. I'm kinda on the fence personally, it's incredibly incompetent if it is 30 and they've released 60fps trailers. Not to mention I excused the massive downgrade with Souls 2, at some point though I feel like I gotta say enough is enough you know?

This shouldn't even have to be a discussion on a PC title released in 2016, but since it's Miyazaki and not Tanimura and all of his prior Souls games are 30 FPS, it's very possible. I hope it's BS though.

If they lock framerate to 30FPS on PC, I'm locking my credit card.

cause the games are designed at 30 fps and unlocking them causes hell with the engine. every version of dark souls 2 at 60 fps has weird issues, including the console versions. At least that's my guess. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to justify locked 30 fps in a pc game, it's not acceptable to me either. I'm just saying, that's probably the reason.
I played bloodborne for 2.5h. That's as much as I could stand the frame pacing issues and it being 30fps. If this was a time before we had DS1 and 2 at 60fps I'd just bite the bullet and play it. But it's not and if it doesn't live up to my standards I just won't play it. I don't think it's that foreign of a concept, it should't be.
I'd like to think he isn't gonna insult the consumers with a dumb excuse like that after it backfired for The Order guy.

30 FPS on PC is parity, not vision.
I won't need a refund because I won't buy it in the first place.

worst gaf shitpost of the day.If you think Miyazaki is a 'dumbfuck' and his vision is 'stupid' then why do you care about the souls games at all? lol.
Not buying it for $60 on day one doesn't mean never playing it. The game will probably be $30 on GMG within three months. I don't know how I'll sleep.

He cares more about the fact that it is on PC than it being a Souls game.

Sure, everyone is entitled to their own standards and it's not weird at all if you want to hold on to them.
But Souls-games are that much different to me personally it just feels weird that anyone who was even mildly interested and liked the earlier games would skip this, even at 30fps.
Pretty much how I feel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEPvbGmMLQo&t=105
I understand that you are angry, but you should be civil and have more respect for the people who make these games.

I might be a bit sad if it's true, but I played DaS1 on PC without the DSFix. I was fine with that, I'll be fine with this. Also, Bloodborne 30fps did not really bother me.
I'm sure the fps will be at least 60 though.

I'm thinking it will be 60. I don't know if I'd bet on it, but I'll be getting the game regardless as supporting the holistically excellent game design shown by this franchise is more important to me than more effectively demonstrating my desire for variable-framerate PC releases.
If it's locked at 30, I'll be happy to see and participate in vocal criticism.

It's all part of Miyazaki's vision
If you really feel this way about the creator of the series, I have an extremely hard time believing you were actually planning on getting the game in the first place....

None of these games make sense at 30, so having this even be a question is crazy for the PC version

I'm saying if the rumour is true then the people making the game don't care about the PC fans?? Is that not allowed or can that only allowed to be said about Warner bro?

well.....I love dark souls 2 but I don't agree that disliking it is shit posting. this dudes post however, was the dumbest, most flamebait post I've seen on gaf all week.
Also, the boss is a ghost so you must be cursed before you can do damage. Also, there is no remedy for curse.

Disliking DS2 by itself isn't shitposting. Some of the comments I've seen on GAF about it that have gone by unscathed definitely are though.
And again, I disagree with what he said personally.

these are all the issues that dark souls 2 had when it was unlocked to 60 fps. Are people really being that dismissive that they want to blame it on 'laziness' or 'miyazaki's dumb vision? like....can't you even entertain the possibility that there might be other reasons the game is locked at 30 fps?
Kind of debatable.... Obviously things aren't 100% civil all the time here, but name-calling developers is a little over the line. If everyone just did that whenever they were upset about something it would be a horrible cesspool of a forum.

Its fine. Not a deal breaker personally.
And also the game drops the resolution every time you get hit.

To play the devils advocate here: while Dark Souls 2 could be played in 60 fps, there were some quite substantial (as far as I know unintended) changes to gameplay in 60 fps mode, such as faster equipment decay. It is possible that they found those gameplay changes unacceptable, but lacked the motivation to fix the core issues in the engine that prevented variable refresh, right?
