I have to say Dark Souls is a game I need to settle in to play so I'll probably go with the PS4 version over Switch. Hyped for this though.

Plus I have Bloodborne, DS2 and 3 on there so for consistency it makes sense.

Good to see the switch get such a beloved game. Wish I could enjoy it, but the series is way too intense for me.

how the hell is that gonna run 60fps if i's using the DS3 engine? that thing ran like hot trash on my gaming pc, and i would imagine it wasn't 30fps capped on consoles either

I think I tried a Souls game that was GWG once but didn't get further than 2 mins in. I love the aesthetic but I don't think the combat is for me.

Having said that, the hype makes me think I should revisit.

The geometry is quite bit more simple in Dark Souls compared to Dark Souls 3. Unless they plan on re-doing all the geometry from scratch I don't see why not. Dark Souls 2 is running at 60fps.

Never thought of that.

Well the only reason I touched PVP was for trophy / achievement stuff so maybe not having those will reduce the number of invaders on Switch anyway.
Unlikely, for some of us, invading others (and being invaded), was pure adrenaline fun! So, I'll be invading others when I get a chance. :)

Hopefully it doesn't adopt the awful yellow filter from Dark 3.

Hopefully the threat of a fast suspend button will make invaders play less like bitches.

If you want to invade me to fight me, cool. If you want to invade me to run away to my mobs and try and hit me in the back or something, SUSPEND BITCH.

PS4 already had that feature of suspend... Pretty sure that leads to you getting soft-banned...

Your talking about putting it in sleep mode right and suspend? Cause, just going to home screen will likely (like the other versions), just keep multiplayer alive and you will die from inactivity.. lol

Was this thread merged? I thought it was only about the Switch version when I posted.

So I guess this is a test or something before they bring the other 2 games?

YES! I love the souls games but ive never beaten the first. I have it backwards compatible on xbox one x and for some reason i end up dropping it whenever i try, despite loving 2, 3, and blood borne. I think this version will be the one that i actually beat though!

All Switch ports of multiplat games will end up being 30 fps, just how it is. The choice comes down to portability vs performance. That we even have this choice at all is great imo.

Not seeing any gameplay is worrying me. Especially since it's not the original engine and I'm scared to fuck that they messed up the combat and atmosphere...

I'm so happy this is happening. I've been holding off on buying a switch because my wallet seriously can't handle it right now... but with Dark Souls? Shiiiiiiiiiit.

I'm fucked.
