I'm reading that, although the PC version of Dark Souls 2 is serving as the foundation, it won't look much different from a 360 game. That's pretty disappointing if true.

I can run both versions side by side on my desk and Dark Souls on PC with DSfix and everything turned on looks a hell of a lot different from the PS3, and the only thing that sucks is that changing the 30fps lock to 60fps breaks other shit in the game because of timing issues.
Even if From Soft drops the ball again, I wouldn't worry about it too much.

What exactly breaks with the 60fps fix? I started using it yesterday after a friend reported no bugs, and it's SO much smoother.
The only thing I've noticed being different was that one particular Silver Knight in Anor Londo now occasionally fails to switch to melee when I close in. That could be completely unrelated, though.

It has to do with the timing, I think it fucks with collisions and can fuck with the mouse and stuff.
It's kind of funny that people were bemoaning the frame rate restriction on PC. Unless you juxtapose samples of 30 fps and 60 fps, you're not gonna notice much difference.

Uhm, no. I played 15 hours of the game at 30fps before I was convinced to try the unlocker. There is a massive difference in smoothness when going to 60fps.
Also, half of those bugs look like hardware/driver errors, not software errors. I haven't seen any of those on my setup after switching. The ladder and bonfire bugs seem like the software breaking, though. I googled them, and they seem avoidable by not sliding down ladders, and waiting for the bonfire animation to finish before restoring humanity.

9 minutes worth of gameplay footage was released

I'm not impressed by what I watched. I was expecting a significant change in scenery (kind of like the difference between Demon's Souls and Dark Souls) but this looks like Dark Souls DLC or something. Also, I was under the impression that enemies were smarter and more aggressive but they take their sweet time following the player and initiate their attacks too soon.

I ended up with a nasty scan line scrolling down my screen when I unlocked the framerate. The video cinematics bugged out on me too.

Every normal human should instantly be able to notice the difference between 30fps and 60fps. And if you're used to 60fps, then 30fps feels like being in peasant's clothing.
For what it's worth I experienced no graphical issues playing DS with high res textures and 60fps.
I think people are too used to watching shitty 30 fps locked youtube videos of games and either playing 30 fps locked games too much or not having rigs that can handle high frame rates.
If you go download a video recorded in 60 fps of a game playing at 60 fps and watch it and then watch a 30 fps locked video it is absolutelyNIGHT AND DAY. It is impossible tonottell the difference.

Now that's some fucking amazing CGI. Wish the game actually looked something similar to that.

My trip is going to be in Florida personally - I can help get some fresh ones cheap if you need while down there... (it's my trip though, so no spouse abuse here - I want to do the move there more than her [although she's completely behind it] that we'll be scouting)
