Yeah don't worry though, even though this is a rush job, I'm betting we'll at least get a new ending connecting all 3 games. I mean it's basically confirmed in my mind already.

Rumor: Dark Souls Remaster will be running in DS3's engine [Update]
- Thread starter R.T Straker
- Start date
You know what I hate. Armchair commentators with no videogame development, or project management experience calling devs lazy.
I'm going to assume this will be nothing more than 60fps and higher res, but I really hope they do more!
The poster saying Dark Souls 4 didn't make the joke obvious enough for you?
Unless you're playing along, if so sorry, lol
It's hard to find good images to demonstrate my point, but I'll try nonetheless. You're right, the CoC are similar to the Chalice Dungeons in Bloodborne. Very similar, in fact, since the former straight-up copied certain geometry and layouts from the latter and have pretty similar lighting to the Pthumeru and Hintertombs dungeons in particular. The Catacombs in Dark Souls has its own style entirely.
Dark Souls III
Bloodborne
The Undead Settlement in Dark Souls III also bears a striking resemblance to Hemwick Charnal Lane in Bloodborne. Again, practically copy-pasting some of the architecture and using similar lighting.

Bloodborne
Edit: sorry for the big pictures, I put them in quotes
So it's literally just an HD-ified version of the original game with no engine improvements? Selling for $40?
Pass.
Pass.
I half expect to see a new rumor thread show up on here referencing a Twitter post that quotes your post.
Those Lazy Developers, working 14 hour days for months of crunch on end couldn't even take the 10 Easy Minutes to click the automatic "Implement My Pet Feature" button!
edit: seriously though I am so here for this rerelease.
Nice, was a little nervous about a cartridge tax. Product description seems to confirm in house too, i do think that Virtuos/QLOP being the developer on this was just a rumour.
How long does it take for them to show the amazon prime discounted total on the product page?
I was thinking. Most people forgot that Bamco is the same publisher that pulled one of most infamous bait and switch(haha) regarding that DS2 lightning debacle, going as far as keeping the Steam videos and screenshots of the old build of the game in the store page weeks after people realized the game looked nothing like that.
Be careful people, specially Switch owners (Im saying this because some recent games had subpar performance on the Switch ) when Bamcos hype machine starts rolling.

From Soft doing it inhouse comes ultimately from Bandai Namco PR though. Given their repeated mistakes with this announcement (HDR, PC discount, etc), and From previously saying they weren't interested in doing a remaster and to ask Namco Bandai, I think Kotaku's independent sourcing is more likely the correct one.
Didn't Fextralife just say they've been "working with From"? All that says is that From has some level of participation, but they could be just overseeing and directing some necessary changes while the two external devs do the actual porting.
The whole game basically feels like they took Dark Souls and Bloodborne and mashed them together. From the visuals to the movement/combat to stuff like the sudden appearance of an eldritch faction arising from the depths of the sea.
I remember being particularly disappointed by the Dark Souls 3 catacombs because the ones in Dark Souls feel like you're really just going down into this awful hole in the ground.
I think you may be mixing up your stories here, they said they weren't interested in doing a Demon's Souls remaster but to ask Sony as it could happen with another developer. Though, Kotaku could still be correct, nothing, we've seen other than that one Kotaku article links to QLOP and Virtuos where as many other articles state From Software are the developer with the Gamespot article even specifying "Dark Souls Remastered is being developed by From Software, the studio behind the original trilogy, instead of being outsourced to a third-party studio."
Edit: Actually, the Kotaku article doesn't specify Virtuos, that seems to just be coming from Doctre81, and while i do believe him I think its best to wait to hear on an official announcement due to conflicting information from the publisher (despite their missteps with communication).

Rocket league and injustice 2 are unreal engine 3Will there be an option to pause the game in portable mode, if so, will that be added to all versions? Portable game that can't be suspended anytime would get people pants in a twist.
I think you might be looking too much at similar games, instead of all the games made on the engines. Here's an example of UE4 games:
Not a rumor. Virtuos is the dev on the switch version at least
Whats your source on that? They definitely could be, but there is conflicting information. As far i can tell the QLOP/Virtuos rumour seems to have the same unfounded source as the Dark Souls 3 engine upgrades and that makes me a bit apprehensive to believe it.
The official press release for the Dark Souls Remaster which is partially quoted in various other articles, like Gamespot and Forbes, states that "Dark Souls Remastered is being developed by From Software, the studio behind the original trilogy, instead of being outsourced to a third-party studio."

Do you work there or have a contact within the studio? Anything you can link to confirming this? I'll be happy to believe you, I just need something a bit more than that as again, there is directly conflicting information from the publisher. Though, they haven't been great with a lot of their messaging, that doesn't stop us from trying to be a bit thorough.
Can't post any links. I was initially told about the project last sept. I'm sure they will tweet it or announce it soon like they did with la noire.
Yeah, it had a very poor implementation of materials at parts, I feel some rock roads looked like they were covered in wax as well
No. Unlike the original, multiplayer matchmaking will actually work this time
Also, Yasuhiro Kitao, who works at From Software, was the one who gave us the resolution/performance chart:
So they're, at the very least, following this closely. They may not be the developers themselves, but they may be overseeing the project, which would make sense if they're in fact fixing bugs and stuff like that.
Can you give us any information to clear the misunderstandings surrounding this project or you don't know any specifics?
Oh shit, one of their devs had listed working on Switch AAA game. Guess thats what it was, people were speculating FF and Ezio Collection.
The switch version is being developed by a team at Virtuos and they are working on an online beta.
Could you perhaps privately confirm your source with a moderator? Its not that I don't believe you, its just we have directly conflicting information from the publisher and it would be irresponsible for us to just take some fellows word on the internet over it despite Namcos missteps with communication today.

Nah the game is just fine as it is, there's no need to "touch it up", high res/60fps is just fine.
That's pretty cool. Namco really should've announced that along with the trailer, at least we'd have something to look forward to.
Their recent track record definitely puts them as a solid studio to be working behind the Switch port, as does QLOP for the Xbox/PS4/PC version if thats accurate as well.
Well I was told "working on" so maybe they aren't sure it will come. Regarding the beta
This is a very conflicting statement. I don't think you know how to distinguish a whole new game vs a slight polish-up of the first game in the series.
LOL Even the mod take it seriously.
It's sarcasm guys....it's a joke....
Wait even a member of staff thought they were being serious with that comment?!
Good lord! It's a masterpiece!
Ill give you the catacombs, because theyre also maybe the worst area in the game to pllay through.
I disagree with the Undead Settlement, as the only strong similarity is theyre both shitty villages, which is just a really generic kind of location in gaming as a whole. Big difference is Bloodborne did something cool with it and the Mad Ones, while DS3 just kinda played it straight.
