You misread it the last part, though the port is done by another team.

Dark Souls Remaster coming to Nintendo Switch (Delayed), Xbox One, PS4, and PC on 05/25
- Thread starter GAMEPROFF
- Start date
If you watch the switch trailer, it's CLEARLY using Ds3 lighting/textures. Like you can compare the two side by side.
dark souls gets better each time you play it due to how open it is and how many ways there are to play it and how many pieces to the lore are all around
u r missin out on the true experience
its also a pretty short game once you know what's up
Like an exclusive Dark Soul? Sounds cool ofc but doubt fanbase would be happy. I prefer multiplat in general.
Awesome news.PC gets a 50% loyalty discount.
So $20 upgrade I assume. Also confirmed $40 on their own website.

Wait for this. Dark Souls 3 is at its best when played after Dark Souls 1, specifically.
Was that trailer confirmed in-engine? Is it representative of how the game will look? I thought it was Just made.
Glad people that haven't played them before can try them, but man this is the reason I don't stick with a single platform/company.
I have all the other systems, and PC
The game never interested me before, but the announcement for my preferred system, has me finally intruiged to try it out
Not had a Playstation since PS2 and never owned an XBOX so not familiar with the game (although I am aware it is a loved series) Am I right in thinking that the combat plays a bit like Monster Hunter? And is it Bloodborne which is the game that is more beginner friendly?
I would say it is given how it looks so much like ds3 but we don't know.
Just a heads up, looks like the remaster might not have the DS 3 lighting and effects after all:
"Bandai Namco says The Dark Souls remaster will not use new assets from dks3."

I thought the Switch version to be the remastered version but capped at 30fps? Is this wrong?
I read the release wrong. I am sorry. The Switch version is 30fps.
I played it to completion with various classes and many builds. Believe me, I squeezed as much out of the game as I could. I also played it on PC with Durante's DSfix.
So for someone who didn't do these things, this news is incredible because it's an incredible game.
But me? I'd much rather see a remaster of Demon's Souls. Especially when Dark Souls with it's PC version still holds up well and is by all means a very recent game.
I just know what it says in that article, but I suppose it could maybe possible still use the ds 3 engine maybe, possibly?
Would explain why this one is able to run at 60 fps, while bloodborne and DaS3 have issues with 30 fps on PS4. I mean not even the pro is able to run DaS3 at 60.
Dark Souls is one of the most replayable series of RPGs. Does not compute.
Eh, there can be many reasons. Personally I've had a 5 year slog or so. Hate to be stuck to a TV, hated the 3DS, Wii U gamepad mediocre compromise. Heck, didn't even play 3D World on Wii U, only Mario I have skipped. PS4 never caught my interest like PS3. A lot of games slipped under my radar and now I wanna try them. Looking forward to my first Dark Souls experience.
Just trying to paint a picture of the many ways you can avoid playing Dark Souls up until now, hehe.
it would be nice and it's unfortunate, but it's Dark Souls, the gameplay is sublime, so I can deal :).
How does that confirm DS3 lighting isn't coming? I would certainly expect the lighting and textures to improve.
Though tbf the textures are already really good.
At first I was like "but they said it will be higher framerate."
And then I remembered Blighttown.

Yup, it's very rare that I play a game more than once, but Dark Souls is the only game in the last 15 years that I just couldn't get enough of.
You better pray that it would be stable 30FPS in certain location.
Do lighting and graphic effects constitute "assets"? Legit question. I'm ignorant about these things but I thought those were engine features instead.
i actually think I'll roll up a new character on my PC in preparation for the Switch/PS4 versions.
I'll be buying both, you see.

This is truly what I'd like to know. I'm curious about the "new SFX" that Fextra claimed earlier today.
"Original communications on the project cited Dark Souls 3 graphics style revamps, but we have removed their mention to avoid user confusion regarding mechanics. "
So, clearly people were getting ahead of themselves thinking a DkS3 engine meant new rolling, combat, etc for DkS Remaster.
I didn't expect full DkS3 assets to be replacing DkS1 assets, but I still hope it looks good.
switch will run blighttown at a stable powerpoint presentation
Man, just thinking about experienced souls players invading first time switch players makes me smile a little inside. Wonder how people will react to that, because playing any souls offline takes half of the fun away!
Anyways, a remaster of one of my favorite games ever is always welcome. Time for some PvP duels in the Kiln again!

I think the comparison between Dark Souls and Monster Hunter is apt in the sense that they are both action games where your movement and actions are very deliberate and you have to commit to animations. They also both share boss pattern memorization to an extent, though I'd say boss patterns are more crucial to learn in Dark Souls. If you like Monster Hunter, there's probably something to enjoy in Dark Souls' combat.
And honestly, you can start with any Souls game. They're pretty much all about as unfriendly as the next. I'd just suggest the most recent. If the remaster turns out well, go with that.
I would've shelled out $60 for the DS remastered on PC without a second thought ... but $20? Damn, now I feel like I'm stealing it!
