Sseems the remaster will be running in DS3's engine.

  • The remake runs at 1080p on the PS4 and Xbox One with 60 FPS.
  • This is a REMAKE of the game using Dark Souls 3's engine. Expect Combat differences.
  • Native 4k resolution on PC
  • Remaster renders upscaled 4K on the PS4 Pro and Xbox One while the PC version will feature resolution upto native 4K.
  • The remaster will feature up to 6 player online, like Dark Souls 3.
  • The multiplayer now has dedicated game servers rather than p2p
  • The remaster includes the DLC Artorias of the Abyss
  • QLOC is at the helm for the PS4/PC/X1 versions while the Switch is handled by a developer based in China.
Remake me if old. May the flames guide thee

From the perspective of a PC gamer
Pros: "improved lighting/engine" (we'll see on that, I prefer Dark Souls 1 to Dark Souls 3's visual style)
60FPS/4K support (dsfix)
dedicated servers (dsc makes this pretty much irrelevant https://www.nexusmods.com/darksouls/mods/334/ )
higher multiplayer count

Cons: Splits the community
Kills 5 years of mods
Costs $40

Yeah I'm not liking this.

I imagine this is on Switch as well, considering there have been rumours of the trilogy hitting Switch for a while.

This now makes sense why it's coming to PC.

It this were a remake this would be called DARK SOULS REMAKE, not REMASTERED. Let's gonna chill, I don't think Vaati knows how the game truly works.

Switch will probably be a port of the old game on the same engine with fixes and maybe ever so slight bumps in detail.

No way it'll use the DS3 engine. It's not even being developed in-house, is it?

Time for me to actually be incredibly concerned about ending up with DS3's imitation Bloodborne pace and Estus chug in DS1.

This is the only scenario where I'll buy the game <3

Looking forward to DS3 animations (hopefully).

So does that mean it will have the frame pacing issues that DS3 has? Or did they fix that in the Pro patch? I haven't played it in a while

Yeah I don't trust Vaati of all people.

Also it seems pretty unlikely that the game has any significant changes to combat. They would have announced these in the PR statement.

Also, please no combat changes, man. Other than maybe 8-diagonal movement.

I like my poise the way it is in Dark Souls 1, thank you very much.

no.

They probably saw that Kotaku report with DS3 lighting and though it was a full remake.

I doubt Vaati too,he's a youtuber...

They are talking about a remake when the game is called Remastered and there's no mention of combat changes in the PR sheet.

The switch version is in house, the other versions not (apparently).
And getting DS3 engine on switch might be easier then getting the old one up, newer engine also means more modern toolset etc, why would they bother working with a toolchain from 8 years ago.
We'll have to wait for more details I assume.

If this is true this could actually change the game a ton, since 3 basically feels like Bloodborne.

I wasn't expecting that, I assumed it was just a port with higher resolution and some better textures or something.

The 60fps makes me doubt this is true though.

Same here. Vaati just seems like an extremely sketchy individual, especially after all that plagiarism thing.

Uh oh.

DS3 was targetting 60 FPS on PS4 pro patch and it ended up as mostly 45fps and a terrible way to play. They didn't offer a 30 FPS lock too.


Hope this is better then that

If the pace of combat is similar to DS3 then I'm definitely all in. I enjoyed DS3's combat quite a bit, and I would definitely look forward to DS1 having similar mechanics.
