Dark Souls coming to Switch

Dark Souls Remastered For Switch Caps Off Nintendo Direct For January 2018

I might finally have to check out this game. Looks like they are updating it quite a bit. I guess the original DS game is kind of outdated in terms of performance and graphics but they are upgrading it.

The "remastered" version is coming to other platforms too.

I haven't heard anything specific so it's hard to know what this actually is. Some people saying its going to be redone in the DS3/Bloodborne engine, I'd like that but it sounds optimistic. All they say in that article is improved framerate and resolution, which isnt saying much, DS is a 30 fps game even on PC without mods.

It’s gonna come to other consoles so should probably rename the thread

I’m hyped for this game. Dark souls 1 was just so good. One of those games where the atmosphere is almost unmatchable imo

I've never played Dark Souls. Might check this out.

The amount of twinks in the Undead Parish preying on Dark Souls newbies is going to be insane.

More interested in seeing it running at 60 frames on the other platforms at this point.

Either way, probably the most disappointing announcement From could've made... but I guess it'll have to do for now.

Also looks like Xbox One X and PS4 Pro resolutions will be upscaled 4K, with only the PC version being native. For all the tough talk they were doing over those machines, they don't seem to be holding up their end of the bargain.

I did mention the other platforms in the title. Regardless I did try to change it but I don't see where to do that even in advanced edit. I think its more impressive that the Switch is getting another third party game (even a remaster) that sold well previously. I really want Switch to get some new / current games though. People who have been playing Xbox / PS / PC have played a lot of these games already.

But like I said I actually never played the original DS so I might give this one a go.

This has been the story this generation.

Marketing is making promises the hardware can't cash.

I don't know if I should blame false advertising, the hype train, or a bit of both.

DigitalFoundry was pretty accurate with this video:



Basically they said PS4 should be a 1440p machine, turns out its right in that ballpark in most AAA games
