I doubt it'll work, but I admire your initiative. Good on you for trying.

Sorry man,

I don't think it's worth it. But prove me wrong and I'll be stoked.

Yeah, I'm not very hopeful, but I can get behind this especially since you, unlike so many other petitioners, seem like someone who loves something, but has a very cool head about it.

Of course. Those things always work.
 
Edit: Uh... I don't think 3 (three) signatures will make a difference.

I'm not detecting a hint of sarcasm there am I?

Online Petitions never work, and I'm not terribly interested in this game, so no, sorry.

@valrog: Oh Greg, you silly, brilliant man

Sorry man,

No, no I won't.

But good luck and godspeed.

Why don't you just play it on a console?

No, it won't work, but no harm in trying i guess......

Not to sound like a dick but I can not see reasonble controll scheme on the pc for dark souls.

Hooking up a 360 controller

@Iron_Tool: yeah off course, but a controller works really well on demon's souls and I can not think of a reasonble scheme. To give you an example you use r1 and 2 allot then you will use l1 and 2 allot.

but I have signed the petition.

Uh not to be a negative nancy or anything... but this games developer is From Software.  When was the last time From Software made or ported a game to PC?  Because I can't even think of one.  They are a console developer and while I agree a game like demon/dark souls could work on pc I dont see it happening.  That said upcoming mmo's like guild wars 2 are almost similar to how this game plays and bear closer resemblance to action games than other mmos.  Maybe you should take a look at those.

But of course that would take real work from the OP and I just don't believe he cares about whatever he's petitioning enough to actually go through with that.

You know what they say about the word assume right?

It wont happen though. If the game is coming out on Xbox that means Dark Souls has already been coded with and developed with XNAwhich means it would be extremely easy for a developer (especially one as huge as namco bandi) to transfer the data from console to PC. As a matter of fact it is usually done the other way around. Like, how Witcher1 was a PC exclusive and Witcher2 is currently only for PC but is coming soon to Xbox. This is because video games do not need much more development to make the change from PC to Xbox due to the XNA Microsoft programing (it is really mostly about optimization to the hardware of the Xbox). CD Projectk RED had time to familiarize themselves with this code for the PC for two games now and they must feel confident in the adaptation from PC to Xbox...yet not to the PS3 too. This is because, it is a completely different code to make games for PS than for Xbox or PC. So, if Bandi is making the game for PS and Xbox, but not PC...it is highly unlikely that they will because they've already gone through the hassle of learning XNA.
 
Creating a game that is not exclusive for consoles can actually be a "loss" of profits. They would have to set-up servers for multiplayer interactions which is provided with Xbox (not PS or PC) and would potentially lose a large chunk of their game sales due to pirating unless getting in bed with steam or other companies of sort. There are also ways to pirate around steam too. They run the risk of losing potential buyers of the game to people who know how to pirate that would have otherwise bought for the console. Sure, you can pirate games for consoles, but it is FAR less know by the masses in comparison.
 
I am positive that Namco Bandi ran the numbers and know if it would have been a profitable situation. They left the PS3 exclusive and went to multi-platform. I am sure they ran an analysis-- many games nowadays go to all three major platforms --if the ends would have justified the means to make it i am sure Namco Bandi would have done it.
 
Sorry, but, no matter how i think games should be on every platform possible to let everyone enjoy the experience...it just doesn't always work out that way.
 
Who knows, maybe it will be an even greater success than they thought and they will adapt Dark Souls to the PC six months down the road. Don't get your hopes too high. And hey, PS3 and Xbox have been having price-breaks on consoles at least...

Oh lol OP, how naive you are.

I signed it because that's easy. But I'd be very surprised to see this work. Getting a bunch of people online to click "sign" isn't exactly persuasive material for a developer that would need a lot of coaxing and good reasons to alter a decision they've already made months ago. 

Technically we should only be signing if we would be interested, otherwise we are lieing and making them think there is a greater demand then there actually is. =P

Heh

I'd love nothing more, but Japanese developers don't really put their consolegames on PC anymore.(except maybe Capcom) So your chances are slim. I'll sign up though.

I'm gonna sign twice. Don't tell anyone.

<.<

Even though my PC is too outdated, I'd like to see it happen for you. Signed.
