It runs at 30, was confirmed long ago.

btw, cant wait to see DF analisys on this port, plus all the frame and resolution drops it may have :P
So, I know DS had issues on initial release. However they've had some time to polish it and optimize it. We've got Doom and Wolfenstein 2 running rather decently and they're more intensive than that. Maybe I have unrealistic expectations. i don't know anymore.

Unrealistic, or you may be just too positive. The game doesnt even run at locked 60 fps on both ps4/one.

are they really doing their hourly tests again ? Oh Nintendo. Everybody else does it 3 days straight and Nintendo does it only a couple of hours like with Splatoon. How backwards can they be
What are you blaming Nintendo for, that's all on Bamco.

Pretty sure that is on Nintendo seeing they already did this a couple of times with other games.
How is Nintendo in any way responsible for a game they do NOT own the rights to ? It's also not like they're the only ones doing this, nor have they been the first.

it's on their network no ? Also don't see these hourly tests on other platforms. Only on Nintendo consoles. Also when you bring out a game on a certain platform then the platform holder can hold restrictions. Back in the SNES days Nintendo even held a lot of games hostage on their system back in the SNES days so yeah they can implement stuff like that. Nintendo routinely used their market position to prevent third parties from making ports of NES titles for other competing consoles like the master system. You made a game for the NES, that was it- it didn't appear anywhere else.

Omfg who the hell cares at this point??? The trilogy is going to be released on ps4 and xbone same day.
People who want it portably care? If you want the best resolution and framerate you'll play it on PC. The switch caters to people who want it on the go. The ps4 and xbone versions have nothing they do the best.

Why would a single player game need a network test?
The dark souls games have always had their online play as a big selling point. Players are supposed to choose to help or hinder each other by leaving hints and cooping, or by invading others to stop them.

Yeah, the wait is killing me.
I don't know why they don't show anything.
A screenshot, some piece of music, any kind of tease, anything!

We call that a dick move from the devs.
I swear, if the game has been finished all summer and they just sat on it to hold out for the Trilogy release, I will personally kick every developer in that bitch square in the nuts.

They just pulled a Bioware bullshit move like they did with Mass Effect 3 on Wii U, bunch of douchebags. I hope their games get pirated.
