Why the need to hate on 2? Some ppl love it you know? I consider it the best out of the three souls.Yeah triology bundle doesnt make sense when they can charge separately.. why bother with 2 though?
I don't think Bethesda said anything about Skyrim either, but it was on the eshop best selling list for multiple regions for weeks, I believe.I thought Doom was on the eShop best selling list when it first came out? What did they say about Skyrim?
Well it's extremely clear that many areas were designed with the lighting system in mind. The vertical slices at the trade shows were playable by the public and worked fine too. It just sucks that something that I'd imagine Blighttown 2.0 was fundamentally designed around was removed with little to no notice. Not to mention the significantly downgraded geometry in the environments.
Yes, like I said in the other thread, she clearly has a Ubisoft source. But if it's info that a Ubisoft source wouldn't know (e.g. a Dark Souls port), she shouldn't be trusted. I have no idea why people didn't wisen up after she got so many things wrong and disappointed so many people trusting her info.
We also had NPD leaks for each game's first month (60k Doom, 100k Skyrim, retail only), which was decent given the pricepoints.Silece. The sign of silence. We've seen Skyrim on eshop best selling lists so we can assume it has done okay. Doom hasn't been on a best selling list, Bethesda hasn't said anything. There's been nothing. So the assumption is it hasn't done well.
I'm not looking at images. There's hours of gameplay of the game running in many areas and now those areas look like shit and it fundamentally changed the intended playstyle. Normally I'm not one to flip out over downgrades but we didn't get the game as intended and it sucks that we might be charged a third time for something resembling what it was supposed to be day one.Images literally mean nothing. If they didn't release the game with it even on PC, something was wrong with it or they DECIDED not to use it. The complaining about the lighting system is so silly and overblown, and its been years of the same images thrown around as if it means anything. No one is denying there was a change, but holy cow... It obviously didn't suit them for some damn reason...

49.99 with all DLC included is my guess.
But man, if true, this gen really is remaster-gen. WTF?
Because Scholar of the First Sin is the best Dark Souls game.Yeah triology bundle doesnt make sense when they can charge separately.. why bother with 2 though?
They never said they couldn't get it running (as a PC release SURELY would show).
You have to what?....So I have for the Switch version of DS3 if I want to play the damn thing? I don't want to double dip...
LKD was the trilogy rumor, this one is Kotaku and states separate releases rather than a trilogy bundle.It's a Laura Kate Dale rumour, so I'm going to break out the salt for this one. After yesterday's nonsense, I'm going to be very dubious about any claims that a Nintendo Direct is coming today.
Why are downgrades coming up again when enough time has passed that DS2 basically got a remaster with Scholar. What's there to care about now, why hate on vanilla DS2 again specifically. It's like the biggest vendetta that has lead to some of stupidest and most rage filled discussions not worth having anything anymore. The Biggest reason i ever thought of the discrepancies was that they were making PS3 and 360 versions as the primary platforms so things had to work on that first. Next-gen versions were an after-thought. But now we got Bloodborne and DS3 and they have established themself firmly into the next-gen of consoles.
i'm ok with it.Cool, I guess. Looks like the remaster/porting trend is going to continue heavily even on to the Nintendo Switch :-\
No, it was clear as day they wouldn't revamp it again just for PC. It's not as easy as flipping a switch. We also have evidence that they sacrificed it purely for framerate. You don't make an artistic choice that looks objectively worse lol
Maybe they'll change it someday for a PS5 remaster.
Cool, I guess. Looks like the remaster/porting trend is going to continue heavily even on to the Nintendo Switch :-\
Why pay for it on PC when I can't even play it on the bus?I really like my Switch but I think it's a poor platform for these kinds of games from a performance, visuals or even control standpoint. Why pay $50 for DS1 again when you can get it on PC for like $15, patch the shit out of it and run it at 4k/60fps? New lighting isn't nearly worth the New Switch Game tax IMO.
Artistic is one reason. Imagine playing that in the darker areas of the game, where you absolutely would NEED to have a torch at all times. It would make the game objectively much harder, possibly too much so. They might just not have wanted the game to be like that. Again, we don't know why they removed it, and should stop acting like they owe us something lol.
But I guess if people have held on to this for 3 years, silly ole me won't change any minds.
Yeah well it still is a PS3/360 game that's why they could easily make it a 60fps game with the remaster. Would they remake it again with BB and DS3 graphics they would inevitably make it a 30fps game again. It's an old game now made with old platforms in mind, now they don't have those obligations anymore.Because DS2 is not exactly as beautiful as it could have been. Even with the "remaster", which is just basically the PC vanilla version basically in terms of graphics, a lot of times the game looks just downright ugly, specifically considering how good BB and DS3 looks with the improved geometry and lighting
And less than 5 minutes later, one appeared.It's a Laura Kate Dale rumour, so I'm going to break out the salt for this one. After yesterday's nonsense, I'm going to be very dubious about any claims that a Nintendo Direct is coming today.
I mean, people always complain about Tomb of Giants and feels like early DS2 was based on that lol
to wait. No idea how that didn't show up lol.
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
I almost don't know, man. DkS1 has such a unique atmosphere to it that comes directly from the weird graphics engine it uses. I felt DkS3 looked impressive but not as atmospheric as the first game. It was too green and brown looking too. If they can make Dark Souls 1 look more like Bloodborne though, then sure.
If they are using the DS3 engine I guess 60fps is out of the question then. Hopefully the remaster will not inherit the frame pacing issues of DS3 and Bloodbourne. Fingers crossed!
Dark Souls 2 is fucking fantastic. By the standards of almost any other series, it's a masterpiece. And even within the Souls series it's still absolutely worth playing, packed full of memorable content.Yeah triology bundle doesnt make sense when they can charge separately.. why bother with 2 though?

Who's to say it would have been way better?? If anything the ONLY remnant of their other lighting system was a torch system that ended up feeling fairly useless. It could have been a difficulty thing for all we know.

It's also the color bit-depth. It looks so primitive yet it grants a sense of weirdness and mystery to the world. Just look at the color gradingDS1's depth of field carries the graphics hard. Hopefully the remastered version keeps it just as strong.
