Forums - Gaming - From Software responds to Dark Souls 2 graphics downgrade concerns

http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/from-software-responds-to-dark-souls-ii-graphics-downgrade-concerns/0129831

The developer of Dark Souls has at last responded to concerns about the visuals offered by the game’s retail release.

Consumers last week launched a campaign aimed at both developer From Software and publisher Namco Bandai, alleging that the graphics on offer in the shipped retail version of the game are significantly different from preview material being circulated as recently as a few weeks before launch.

"Throughout the game development process, a game is constantly being balanced not only in game playability, but also in the realm of resource management,” From told MCV.

“A developer is always challenged with creating the most rewarding gaming experience while delivering continuity in graphical quality, gameplay dynamics, and balance within the game. The final version of Dark Souls II displays the culmination of this delicate balance and we’re very proud of the positive media and fan reception for the game.”

they should have just release a "deal with it" gif



 

Face the future.. Gamecenter ID: nikkom_nl (oh no he didn't!!) 

They are just saying "Screw you, consumers".



Basically, they said:

"Yup, it's downgraded. Watcha gonna do ?"



Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean you are necessarily right.

I find it interesting how people are starting to care about this.

I blame colonial marines for not only having worse graphics, but for the game just not working the same.


Last gen there were "Downgrades" all over the place, either nobody noticed or cared.

Yeah they did... Remeber the shitstorm surrounding the Killzone 2 E3 demo?

The final version was actually better, but it was like the infamous SS of last gen.



Lol obviously the trailers were the superior PC master race version guys.
#dealwithit



Yeah, it´s a terrible response.

This is simply bullshitting the consumers, it´s about advertising the game with pre-downgrade builds weeks before release.

Hopefully, this and the Watch Dogs graphics debacle are the start of something bigger.
