[Tommi84]

Megaton! Buying!

 

[Raimond]

Ya will buy for sure

 

[xviper]

pretty sure most newcomers of the series want Demon's souls remaster instead because they missed out on it since most of them started with Dark souls 1 and another wave of newcomers started with BloodBorne

 

[philm87]

I started with the Dark Souls 2 remaster on the PS4, so would love a Dark Souls remaster. Hopefully they'll do Demon Souls also.

 

[Rodolink]

I started with Demon's then got DS1 and for some reason didn't play it, DS2 came and played that instead, then DS3, so yeah the only souls I haven't played is DS1 !!!
But this rumour is kind of dissapointing since I was expecting it for Switch, for portability sakes.

 

[Hissing Sid]

Cool for anyone who hasn’t played it but I don’t think I’ll be buying it again.

I’d have been all over Demon’s Souls though.

 

[UnwrittenZero]

I'll pick it up to complete the trilogy on ps4 and hopefully they all work for the ps5.

 

[Ostrava04]

according to Kotaku, it'll be announced on the Nintendo direct for the switch and hours later the other platforms will be shown.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

might have to play this for the first time if they really drop a Switch version as Kotaku UK reports

 

[BANGS]

I need more details before I get hyped, but I'm hyped for the details...

 

[jayjay275]

Well, I'm on the third and enjoying it even though level design is a bit confusing at times. I'd probably pick this up at some time in the future if it were released.

 

[thecrunked]

The switch version would be great for those who don't want too be invaded....

 

[DilWSTS]

Demon's is the one that needs the treatment, its the only one that hasnt aged as gracefully. Not surprising as it was the first.

 

[Sorne]

Praise the sun I hope this is true.

 

[Velius]

If they do more than just up the resolution/textures, Praise The Sun.

But I'm very skeptical.

 

[Musky_Cheese]

I never tried them. Will I have to got gud? I don’t think I’ll have the time to invest.

 

[Fbh]

Might pick it up if it's more than just a basic resolution/framerate upgrade.

If not I'll just stick to the PC version

 

[Orpheum]

IF Kotaku UK is right with their assumption that the switch version will be shown at todays direct, this rumor could very well turn out to be true! At least i hope so

Edit: here's the Article http://www.kotaku.co.uk/2018/01/11/...tch-ps4-xbox-one-and-pc-being-announced-today

A few hours later it will be announced that Dark Souls Remastered is also coming to PS4, Xbox One and PC. These ports are being handled by a separate company from the Switch port, and will feature rebuilt lighting and SFX based on Dark Souls 3, as well as upscaled textures. One change we've been made aware of is that multiplayer will be expanded to support six concurrent players, which makes sense if the goal is to get Dark Souls' covenant system working a little more smoothly.

once again, just because Kotaku UK posts about this, it's not automatically confirmed. It's highly likely though in my opinion

Edit 2: let me know if i should put this information in the OP, this is my first gaming related thread on Neogaf and i'm a little unsure about how to proceed

 

[DilWSTS]

confirmed. https://www.nintendo.com/nintendo-direct/01-11-2018/

 

[BadManEd]

Can't wait for this I only played 2 & 3.

 

[DilWSTS]

i am jealous of you haha, i hope the remaster is a good one

 

[BANGS]

It's confirmed. Still waiting on details about the improvements, though...

 

[Rodolink]

Yeah! coming on Switch!

 

[Shifty]

The, uh, Dark Souls of remasters. I guess.

Put me in the "where the hell is Demons Souls?" camp.

 

[Orpheum]

thanks for the link, will update the OP

confirmed. https://www.nintendo.com/nintendo-direct/01-11-2018/

 

[Vitten]

60 FPS confirmed on PS4! Sweet, might get it after all. ( though let's see what Blighttown has to say about that )

 

[Orpheum]

alright, the OP will be updated since all versions are confirmed now

 

[Sorne]

PRAISE THE SUN LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!

[Gavin Stevens]

FUCK ME ITS TRIPPLE DIP TIME. 60FPS praising of a 4k sun. Sign me up you slags.

 

[BANGS]

Experience the rich world of Dark Souls in upscaled 4K resolution with 60FPS... ...Dark Souls Remastered will also support "up to six players" for online multiplayer

Are these really the only improvements? I mean it's nice but not worth a second purchase IMO...

The Dark Souls remaster, coming to all platforms on May 25, will include the downloadable add-on Artorias of the Abyss and feature improved resolution and other visual enhancements. Bandai Namco and developer From Software are also increasing the multiplayer count to a maximum of six players.
Bandai Namco also promises enhanced visuals on the PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X systems. Here’s a breakdown of resolution and framerate options for Dark Souls: Remastered:

• Xbox One (1080p, 60 fps)
• PlayStation 4 (1080p, 60 fps)
• Xbox One X (Upscaled 4K, 60 fps)
• PlayStation 4 Pro (Upscaled 4K, 60 fps)
• PC (Native 4K, all textures 2K unconverted, 60 fps)
• Nintendo Switch (TV mode: 1080p, 30 fps; Handheld mode: 720p 30 fps)

i guess it will be more than just a simple resolution/framerate update

 

[Gavin Stevens]

I will say I'm a bit annoyed that the xbox x doesn't get the improved textures, and only "upscaled" 4k...? That seems a bit naff when I think about it. I mean, how can it not handle that?

 

[loki 16]

I’m in for this on PS4
Hopefully it’s 60 FPS

 

[DonF]

Nice upgrades for the ps4 pro version, I'll double dip if the price is right. I'm currently playing (and loving) Dark souls 3, and I still long for that awesome DS 1 world.

 

[Orpheum]

it is on PS4, X1 and PC, not on the switch

 

[Spukc]

wait is it coming to switch so its all the dark souls games ?
will buy if its physical no download shit nintendo

 

[Gavin Stevens]

Physical card of the first game. 2 and 3 are not coming to switch yet, but I bet they will later.

 

[Bolivar687]

I know it might be a little early to be saying this but the Switch is absolutely killing it when it comes to remasters of six year old last gen games everyone has already played to death on multiple platforms.

 

[Orpheum]

afaik only Dark Souls 1 is coming to Switch. the trilogy-box is on PS4 and only in Japan so far...

don't know about a physical release, but i strongly assume it will be available on disc

 

[BANGS]

This is why the X isn't all it's cracked up to be. Just because it can handle better performance doesn't mean devs are gonna embrace it. As a dev, why would you work harder to make a game slightly better on the console that sells less than the other? There's no incentive there...

 

[decisions]

These are some nice additions. Will definitely be picking this up on PS4, glad I've only finished half of DS1.

 

[Masagiwa]

Dude that Trilogy box, too bad it's super expensive

 

[Gavin Stevens]

Of course it’s all about work load vs payoff.

But the media is already created. Adding it to a system that could easily handle kt requires minimal effort. It just screams lazy, in a way.

I’ll be buying the trilogy box set regardless. I love dark souls. But it’s clearly quite an obvious misstep for a system that should make it very, very easy to handle.

 

[Blam]

Oh fuck switch is becoming GOAT.

 

[BANGS]

But the media is already created. Adding it to a system that could easily handle kt requires minimal effort. It just screams lazy, in a way.

I'm sure it's more work than we are pretending to understand. And perhaps it is lazy, but ANY amount of time is money. They would be wasting money to waste money lol. It's just not a wise decision economically. As usual, if you want the best version of a game, you play it on PC. Not a gimped PC they call a console. You shouldn't purchase a console expecting PC quality games...

 

[Pejo]

I'm really torn here. Doesn't seem to be a reason to rebuy on Console or PC, but Dark Souls on the go is something I always wanted. If the 30FPS is solid, I'll do it. If it's like 10-30 FPS then I might have to skip. If they ever got the whole trilogy working on switch, A - I'd be amazed, and B - I'd buy it.

 

[Lionel Richie]

It will look beautiful next to Bloodborne and the other 2 Dark Souls. All we need now is a Demon's Souls remaster (and a sequel) and we're golden.

 

[Alebrije]

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