Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen is one of the most imaginative, and thought-provoking role-playing-games from the last console generation. Unfortunately, PC players didn’t receive a port and struggled to accept the sub-30fps performance in certain areas. Surprisingly, Capcom has announced a PC version featuring “stunning high-res graphics and improved fidelity. Additionally, the game will launch at a very reasonable $30 on Steam and is scheduled for release during January 2016.

At least Capcom is now more open to PC remakes and prepared to implement high-resolution support. Although it’s uncertain how well the game will adapt to keyboard and mouse. In theory, the key combinations via keyboard and mouse should offer a spectacularly, in-depth experience. Over the years, there is a huge quantity of console exclusives I’d like to see on the PC platform. Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen is one I never expected and near the top of my list.

Japanese publishers appear to be porting more console-focused franchises to the PC and we have already received classics such as Ikaruga, and Valkyria Chronicles. There has been much speculation about Capcom’s financial standing and dubious business practices, such as, on-disc DLC. Whatever the case, it seems the reasons to own a console are diminishing every year.
