Kotaku: Dark Souls 2 and 3 will eventually come to Switch
- Thread starter Meelow
- Start date
Okay now this is unexpected. I was feeling kinda bad for Switch only fans for not being able to enjoy the rest, this is awesome.
I only really cared for the first one as far as Switch ports go. I wonder if I love this series enough to get 2 on Switch lol.

I'll buy them all as long as they run OK.
The Dark Souls series are some of my favorite games to replay, and having the ability to do that any time and anywhere is significant.

Where is this asspull that DOOM Switch didn't do well coming from?
Like, there's nothing that suggests that at all...
I mean, relatively speaking of course. The game didn't light up the charts when it released everywhere else either. I'm sure it did just fine for Bethesda's expectations.

No thanks. Dark souls has been ported and reported so many times I feel like I have given my money's worth on the franchise ten times over.
If you have a somewhat respectable computer, you can run all of these games for reasonable cost.
I might have considered it if they were at a budget price... Cool for Switch owners that want to play Dark Souls on the go, but personally these ports are not for me.

What? Besides the PC port of 1 and the current gen ports of DS2, the series has remained quite exclusive to their original launch platforms.
Just speaking as a franchise as a whole, considering how many times I have bought DS1 at this point.
The original, the collectors edition PS3, the game when it was released on PC at full price, and another time in humble bundle.
Damn, but that still doesn't tell me why you said the game has been "ported and reported so many times", lol.
welp. i'm not sure if the pokken dlc will break me. I'm not sure if i'll pay to have TF and the bayo 2pack on nicer hardware. I may very well buy hyrule warriors for the 3ds content ported into a functional engine, though it's not guaranteed.
but this one? yeah i'm double-dipping on this one.

Yep, FROM just announced Switch is actually capable of running the pre-downgrade version that PC/PS4/XB1 couldn't. Dark Souls 2: Need Torch To See Shit Edition exclusive to Switch.
It never existed though. The game had a few levels done in a new engine that had to be gutted. The lighting system was heavily customized to those areas. Dark Souls 2 never existed with that lighting system.
720/640p 30fps across the board. DS3 is an amazing looking game, there's no way you're cramming that onto a handheld without massive cutbacks. Personally, I would have zero interest in playing such a version, portability is not a worthwhile tradeoff for looking like shit
I might just buy the Souls games on Switch for the portability use, but going from 60 FPS to 30 (PC to Switch) will be hell.
If the ports are handled well and run at stable 30fps, the Souls games could be great additions to the Switch library. Will see how the 1st game goes first though, hope they don't mess it up.
Like what are you even mad about? Overreliance ? Please.
They go where the money is. Dark Souls is one of the most successfull Japanese IPs. Klonoa and Pac Man World of all things are not. These are legacy IPs without a market.
Namco is not running a charity.
Wut?
Not sure that the original games were very stable at 30fps honestly
Plus, are we still at the point we're Joycon, despite basically being normal controllers but split, can't play games?
Well...welcome to Dark Souls portable experience :)
I couldn't care less about graphics but i would guess it will be ugly, and that will be for the better. Game needs to be playable first of all.
Some people believe that ports and remasters somehow keep new games from being made.
I don't mind paying full price for these, I never did DS1 or 2 and I only did the vanilla version of DS3 with no DLC.
Good, milk it all over my face. I want it all.

I think the biggest news is these games finally showing up on a Nintendo console.
Feeling a lil optimistic about 3rd party support.
Was still sceptical even after doom and skyrim.
This may have been addressed, but how would they do a trilogy pack, 3 cartridges?
I don't think trilogy was ever an option.

That makes no sense at all.
People enjoyed dark souls on ps3 and 360.
Joy cons are quite normal controllers.
You have to understand. Some people doesn't want Nintendo Switch to be successful.
I love how people now pretend that Souls games are by default 60 fps when the majority of players finished all of the SoulsBorne games in fairly unstable 30 fps.
30Hz doesn't matter at all, they're hardly twitchy games. Execution isn't really ever the issue. Sure, Blighttown ran like dog turd. The Sif boss fight on PS3 was a slideshow, too. But if they maintain 30, it'll be great.
I don't see how DkS3 happens, but who knows.

In all seriousness botw does have a whole shrine with that concept.....I can do without a whole game of it.
Is bloodborne 60fps on a normal PS4?
That is how I played it and it didn't seems so fluid st all
DS2 on PS3 had a very shaky frame-rate. Like, low 20's most of the time. Yet I don't remember seeing this much debate on performance back then. PS360 games in general really had hard time offering constant 30 all times. When did this "unplayable below 60" conviction become the mainstream idea in gaming communities.
There's no confirmation of DS3 on Switch. Heck, we don't even have real time footage of DS1. Yet people already mock the hypothetical DS3 on switch running like shit. Maybe they can pull out a Rise of Tomb Raider level masterful down-port?

Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2, Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3 are all shoddy 30fps on their initial console releases.
Only the Dark Souls 2: SotFS port to PS4/XBO was 60fps.
