Game News Dark Souls Remastered Announced, Releases May 25th

[Gremius]

The irony is that this (remaster of) action-RPG is getting more attention and prise than most turn based RPGs.

I'm fed with these

Get a cheap controller, worth it imo.

That was the advice given at the time so I did. Result - one smashed controller. I thought I had above average manual dexterity but I've never got on with any controller I've ever tried - even expensive ones. I just end up spinning round like a drunken gyroscope. Maybe I need to try a left-handed one.

how old are you?

 

[Correct_Carlo]

I'll get it if it's an actual upgrade (i.e. DS1 on the DS3 engine with enhanced textures and models), but if it's just DS1 with slightly different shading like the DS2 Enhanced version, then probably not.

Purists might scoff at wanting a graphics upgrade, but I've played DS 1,000,000 times. The only way they can get me to pay to play it 1 more time is if it's different.

Writing was on the wall when they wouldn't put it on sale on Steam. I wonder if they will offer a discount for those who already own the game or will pull another SoTFS scam.

It will be 50% off on Steam for people who own the PtDE.

That's still $20 for a patch~

Quality rpg codex news.

how old are you?

Very old and getting older by the second. I grew up with computers and joysticks and never used a controller until I was forced to buy one to play shit PC ports. Probably too late to adapt now since I've longsince lost the ability to learn new skills.

 

[Ivan]

are you arthritic?

 

[Bumvelcrow]

are you arthritic?

No, but thanks for caring. Please see my personal blog for a current list of chronic ailments. Goddamn kids.

No rework of everything post-Anor Londo (DLC excluded), no buy

And some servers. Dark Souls just got 2 or 3 more years of life. For comparison please look how Sony is treating Demon's Souls.

You forgot the blow job from Miyazaki.

 

[Arthandas]

Where is it stated that it's developed by From Software themselves?

Also, show me 60 fps Blighttown and I'll jizz my pants I'm sold.

 

[Eyestabber]

Why they don't return to their roots and revive King's Field, which was inspired by Ultima Underworld (good ol' time when japs were taking inspirations from the west not other way)?.

Also they could also the give persons who already own it on PC the option to upgrade for a much cheaper price.

Have you heard the tale of Dark Souls 2 and the great treachery of Scholar of the First Sin Edition? Sell the same game twice and greed fosters in the company!

Seriously, 2 pages in and NONE of you faggots mentioned SofS. They're gonna pull the same crap. I'm currently replaying Dark Souls 1 and it would be nice to have a non shit engine that can take more than 300 MB of textures and doesn't get frame drops REGARDLESS of your VGA. But I doubt that's gonna happen. Not to mention that the online community will be split between two versions, just like with SotfS.

In theory it WOULD be nice to have a new engine + better PC controls + proper mod support, but the chance of that happening is so slim, I'm not holding my breath.

 

[Valky]

Why can't they just stop throwing cancerous soulsfaggots a bone and let their kind die off?

Off-topic (a really bad idea):
If DS3 is a sign for From Software creativity atm then I prefer this remastered edition than some other fan service shit game like DS3.

DS1 == DS2 > DS3

On one hand, I think DS3 is a far better game than DS2.
On the other one, I agree that a lot of it felt like cheap pandering to fans and complete creative bankrupt. Not to mention it shares some of DS2 most questionable changes from the first (bonfire warping from the start, levels that feel like long scenographic corridors to traverse rather than"lived in" areas, etc).

Also, the overwhelming majority of the lore added from the second and third chapter (about the "curse of the Undead" and the "cycle of Eras") really reeks of retconned convoluted nonsense and loses a lot of the (relatively) simple charm of the first as a mythology.

 

[Suicidal]

Meh, I had zero issues with the original steam version with the unofficial patch/fix. I'd rather see Bloodborne on PC or something.

Well, no shit. But that would be up to Sony, since they own the IP.

 

[Trash]

Wouldn't even care about the price tag if this was just a souped up performance fix and graphical update. But don't you gonna bet they're going to fuck up the basic game one way or the other?

And this is neither.

Uh, did you uncap framerate in .ini file? Cause default one is terrible and you will always feel even the smallest drops, it was awful... I set it to somewhere at 50 and it was better experience.
And no I don't support "60 vs 30FPS wars" why do you ask?

About SotFS - yeah, it's scam. It's like a remaster for a game that was released 1-2 year before remaster.
I bought SotFS first but made other mistake - bought DS3 nonDeluxe edition. Yeah, no discounts for seasion passes

 

[Tuco Benedicto Pacifico]

And no I don't support "60 vs 30FPS wars" why do you ask?

There's no "war" there, just one clear winner.
And that's just when you can't get 144hz or more.

They lied.

Despite what you might have heard online yesterday, it appears owners of the original Dark Souls will not be in-line for a 50 percent discount of Dark Souls: Remastered via Steam.

That's according to a spokesperson from publisher Bandai Namco who, when asked about the possibility of reduced rates for existing PC players, said: "I have been told it is the same price for all platforms. There is no discount."

Called it.

They're gonna nerf shit btw.

They'll patch stuff like DMB Falchion and Giant Dad and the invasion system will be like Dark Souls 3.
