Remember Blightown? You don't want to play that shit with <30fps believe me.

I've never actually played the first dark souls I hate to admit got 6 hours into the second before loosing my data and didn't go back, is it that bad? I thought the whole game ran at 30fps on PS3/360 anyway.

 

[DAHGAMING]

Its my time to enter the souls universe.

 

[Osukaa]

Hmmm I played this game for a couple of hours but never got around to going back and finishing it. This will definitely get a purchase from me.

 

[Safeto20Scroll]

Wow, that's a surprise- and pretty soon as well!
I'm happy for the people who missed out the first time now getting more chances to play this again.

 

[MrBenchmark]

Well I’ll be buying two copies.. Xbox One X and Switch. My son is a souls fanatic.

 

[Shotgun Anaconda]

The question is if this will play like the original or i they will use gameplay from DaS3. If the gameplay isnt the same it's not going to be the same.. at all.

 

[Kibakahn]

Looks like ill double dip for sure for portable mode at least!

 

[Barakov]

Will pick up on PS4. Ready to do this all over again.

 

[Masagiwa]

So this was the game that would "probably comply with the expectations of the fans in a straightforward manner". Does that mean the TGA teaser was for the "Weird" game they are working on

720p is 1/3 of 1080p?

Dark Souls on PS3/360 rendered at 1024x720, which is 35% the number of pixels in 1920x1080, like I said about one third.

 

[Omoiyari]

QLOC(the developer behind the remake) seems to have a fairly good track record, especially in the PC department which is REALLY good news after the botched port that we got years ago.

 

[Kagero]

Would be nice to be able to play DS on the go. My wallet cries.

 

[Robot Pants]

The fact that dark souls is coming back in 4k with an active community is like a god damn dream.
2018 off to an amazing start.


How do you order the Trilogy? Is there no place to order it from yet?

 

[Razzorn34]

Pretty cool, but no Demon's Souls remaster hurts.

 

[ChuyMasta]

Switch version for me
Never played the series.

+1 waiting for Demon's Souls remaster.

PC is 50% off if you already own it on Steam!

If you already own Dark Souls on Steam, you’ll be able to get the new Remastered version for half-off, according to a Bandai Namco store listing that went live earlier today. It said there would be a “50% loyalty discount reward for PC upgrades on Steam.”

 

[Gaplanet]

So this was the game that would "probably comply with the expectations of the fans in a straightforward manner". Does that mean the TGA teaser was for the "Weird" game they are working on

I think (or hope) this is not 1 of the 3 projects. Just something extra.

 

[Rodolink]

I'm expecting the Master Sword and the Hero's Tunic to be included in the Switch version!

 

[Orpheum]

According to Amazon, 40$ will be the price tag, 20$ can be expected for existing owners of the game on steam

[CaVaYeRo]

Isn't that thread title misleading? Have DS 2 and 3 been confirmed for Switch?

 

[Orpheum]

Isn't that thread title misleading? Have DS 2 and 3 been confirmed for Switch?

yes it is indeed. If a mod could change once again accordingly.

 

[Masagiwa]

I think it is, and it would make sense cause having 3 big projects just seemed insane to me even if they are a big company.

 

[splattered]

Played 1, 2, 3, bloodborne... All beaten once and played none of the DLC. Very much looking forward to this.

Maybe Namco are waiting to see sales/stats for XB version before they drop a 2k texture patch to match PC version.

 

[Fuz]

What's the point on PC?

We already have decent mouse and keyboard support, thanks to modders.
We already have 60 FPS, thanks to modders.
We already have better textures, thanks to modders.

I don't see any reason to buy it again.

 

[Nikana]

This so cool but also feels lazy. 4k upres? Come on man.

 

[goljanek]

Has the pause functionality on Switch been addressed? I'm not sure how it corresponds with the portability of NS...

 

[Blam]

awesome.

Update, January 12: Sorry, there's no loyalty discount for Dark Souls Remastered.
If you've got this far, you've probably worked out that despite suggestions to the contrary yesterday, Bandai Namco will not be offering a loyalty discount to players who own the original Dark Souls if they purchase the upcoming remastered version

well there goes that

 

[Orpheum]

well there goes that

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll adjust the OP

 

[JohnnyFootball]

It’s always funny to me that people (specifically PC gamers) expect a discount when a remaster happens.

 

[Alebrije]

+1 waiting for Demon's Souls remaster.

This gives more hope for a Demons Souls remaster but at the same time erases the idea of an E3 announcement from Sony this year since we will get Dark Souls remaster this year. Maybe for 2019.

 

[BANGS]

It’s always funny to me that people (specifically PC gamers) expect a discount when a remaster happens.

Because we usually get one lol

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Because we usually get one lol

Occasionally, yes. Usually, no.

 

[Anubistraveler]

I personally think i will be grabbing this on the Switch. I really like the idea of taking this on the go and I really want to support third party support on Nintendo.

 

[nkarafo]

PC users kinda already have this with Durante's mod.

 

[Robot Pants]

PC users kinda already have this with Durante's mod.

Neat. Don’t buy it then

 

[entremet]

It is Native 4k?

 

[MickeyPhree]

In 2017, I started and finished multiple times:

Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin plus all DLC
Dark Souls 3 plus Ashes of Ariandel DLC
Bloodborne
Dark Souls

Yeah I'm buying this. I need more Souls.

 

[Gold_Loot]

60 FPS will be also on base PS4 or just PRO?

looks like both according to the article.

 

[orborborb]

Glad they aren't screwing with the assets, hope they don't screw with the play control either.

 

[HarryKS]

Remaster as in same game with higher resolution and a more stable frame rate or remaster as in remade with the Dark Souls 3 graphics engine?

 

[sublimit]

QLOC(the developer behind the remake) seems to have a fairly good track record, especially in the PC department which is REALLY good news after the botched port that we got years ago.

Wait what?? I thought they said it's FS themselves who are behind this remaster.

 

[Donnie]

Remember Blightown? You don't want to play that shit with <30fps believe me.

30fps wasn't the problem with Blighttown though, the problem was that it dropped down as low as 12fps. They just need to ensure that 30fps means 30fps with the Switch version (or at least 20-30fps which is bearable, 12fps is not).

 

[Fbh]

Damn...now I don't know if I want Dark Souls with all the bells and whistles on PC/Pro

Or if I want Dark Souls on the go


So far I'm more inclined to DS on the go. I've already played it at 60fps on PC and I'm going to be traveling a lot because of work this year

 

[Narroo]

Darn, I just bought Dark Souls a couple of months ago too, and am still working on it (nearly done.) Drat!

 

[entremet]

I really enjoyed DS last generation. I think I'm going to focus on co-op and invasion this time around. I got a platinum on it so I have nothing more prove. Co-op and PVP sounds fun.

 

[ThisGuy]

Holy crap! I never would have imagined I could play dark souls on the go! Switch is seriously on the road to becoming my favorite console. What an awesome surprise. Shocked its releasing on the switch.
