I really think this would be a great RPG on the PC. The controls are simple and can be easily mapped to a mouse, the legendary challenge of the game would be a nice throwback to older PC RP's. The game would greatly benefit of the improved fidelty that can be achived on the PC.

 Also overall the PC RPG genre is still one that isn't suffering as much of the Piracy trend and is still healthy (compared to some recentt FPS titles). This tough as long as it is a quality game with substance but judging from what I have played of Demon's Souls and seen so far of Dark Souls I am not worried.

This would be a great title for the PC!

What do you guys thinks?

I think that the same could be said about a lot of games. The fact is: it's not coming on PC and it never will. 
 
And I don't see where you're getting the info that PC RPGs are pirated less relative to FPS games.

I wish everything had a PC version

Would be nice but i don't expect japanese developers to make an effort to release PC versions.

PS3's are like $250 now. You have no excuse not to own one, bro!

@Iron_Tool: Difference there is the fact that

1. Rockstar has a whole lot more manpower than From Software to do a port.

2. Japanese developers aren't usually focused on PC games, Capcom being just about the only one that actually puts out ports of their games.

3. There is a lot more examples that have not been ported to the PC, like Red Dead Redemption, even though there were plenty of people wanting them on PC.

Why do you think it will never come out on PC? I think if Namco Bandai sees a market there I'm sure they would consider it. There are plenty of examples of games that were not announced for the PC but came out there anyway (recently example LA Noir)

I don't think From Software has had even a single one of their games come to the PC. At least I can't think of any...

If you want to play Dark Souls so much, I suggest that you get a PS3 or a 360.

I do have a PS3, but my point is that this game would be so much better with the inproved graphical fidelity. I really don't see any reason why a tiktle like this could not succeed on the PC.

PC would be fun but then lets say your playing the game and your computer has a hiccup or a random lag spike, your dead, especially when fighting bosses or phantoms.. Also the game already looks great on PS3 with demon souls and dark souls trailers of gameplay look great. What more do you want? Maxed graphics to match the ones on witcher 2 which has graphic options i have never even thought of turning on..

I dont think it will come on the pc because r1 is a light attack, r2 heavy attack, l1 block if you have sheild or are two handed, l2 attack with sheild or block if two handed.

I dont see a comfortable way of playing the game on a pc tbh. Plus its From Software not the biggest known pc dev team out there, I dont even think they have ever made a pc tittle.

Just wait ten years for a decent PS3 emulator to come out. Problem solved.

I dont think japanese developers are going to jump en masse to the pc market any time soon , much less their RPG developers .... when have you seen a japanes rpg ported in to the pcs? (And nope emulators dont count) Would I like that my pc brethren have accses to this game? Absolutely , the more the merrier I say , heck it should be crossplatform for all I care , but sadly I dont think the japanese developers (including From Software) have either the expertice , money and desire to do it :(

I've played a lot of Demons Souls....like a lot of Demons Souls. And there's no way the control scheme would translate well to a PC without using a game pad. It just wouldn't happen. Keyboard inputs are so awful for a game like this, where precise character control is super important and analog sticks are vastly superior.

If this thread is your first post, I congratulate you OP. Nice discussion. 
 
I don't think there will ever be a pc port for this game but I would love to have one. You said that capcom has given the pc it's fair ammount of support and I agree on that note but Capcom pc ports are just plain bullshit. The only game I think stands out are the latest street fighters but yeah... have you ever played DMC on a pc? It's a horrible experience.  
 
I'm not saying this game can't be played on a pc. It sure as hell is simple and the pc has handled a lot more complex controls in the past. If this selled on Steam they would make a lot of money. Someday my friend... Someday...

As far as Capcom ports go, DMC is definitely an outlier and not indicative of their usual quality. RE5 was great, for example, and Lost Planet 2 and Dead Rising 2 were pretty good. Not to mention the Street Fighter games. In my opinion, Capcom's done a pretty great job of supporting the PC compared to other major devs/publishers.

Not a fan of the original, so unless they fix an incredible amount of stuff with the new game, not gonna be interested even on PS3, much less PC

- It could look even more gorgeous on PC 

I'm really not sure what the point of this thread is... We all want things we can't get. I'd love to get Skyward Sword on the PS3 but it's just not going to happen. If you think that all the Japanese devs are suddenly gonna wake up tomorrow and start porting their games to the PC, you are incredibly delusional. It has nothing to do whether it's a viable and financially-sound venture and everything to do with the cultural, philosophical and ideological differences.

So, I'll say it again, you're not going to accomplish anything by arguing here. Stop holding your breath for something that's just not going to happen no matter how illogical you may think it is, and either get the game for consoles or forget about it.

Demon's Souls was for PS3
Dark Souls is going to be for PS3 and 360

So, just wait for Doomed Souls which will be PS3, 360 and PC. That's right, you heard it here first!

Yeah, it'd be nice to see Dark Souls on PC.  I've been using a PS3 controller on PC  with motionjoy for a while.  I'm a big fan of Demon's Souls, too. :D

As it has been said already: most likely not going to happen. PC means risky business nowadays if you're not a shooter, mmo or browsergame.

But can see how it would fit and it's always nice when more people can enjoy a game. Does anyone here know Severance:Blade of Darkness or Die By The Sword? Those games are pretty similar (minus the rpg stuff).

Google is your friend. :D

This game looks gorgeous enough anyway so the PC wouldn't contribute much in this regard, although I agree the PC world would certainly benefit from it, consoles is where it's at I'm afraid. 

Yeah, it will be nice so I can finally see what is the buss all about.

@McShank: My PC never has random lag spikes or "hiccups" that was a pretty dumb thing to say. You make it sound like PC gaming is prone to such issues which is simply not the case.

Why would you want it on PC? Just so you can use your hacks, save states, trainers and bots? Just kidding.

Anyway, it's on both consoles so pretty much anybody should have the chance to play it, unless they only own a PC and I don't think people like that exist outside Russia.

What complex game wouldn't be great for PC?

The only major JRPG released this past generation that has made it to the PC is Last Remnant. Honestly though, it's probably not about how much effort it takes to port to the PC since the 360 SDKs are designed to be very compatible with the PC (they would probably just have to target the 360 build), but about the fact that they just don't see much of an audience for these games on the PC. I mean a lot of console shooters don't even come to the PC these days, so what hope do you have for JRPGs?
