Oh no, this is horrible! This isn't what I wanted at all! I just wanted DS1 with better visuals/framerate, not a remake! DS1's combat is awesome, and DS3's combat doesn't fit DS1. The enemies are all slow and deliberate with their attacks, so you have to overhaul the AI to make it work, or else the game will be broken! This is just terrible, and the worst news possible! :(

Rumor: Dark Souls Remaster will be running in DS3's engine [Update]
- Thread starter R.T Straker
- Start date
I'm in for that connected world. The new look and combat changes will just make exploring it again feel fresh.
I'm excited!
I'm excited!
Would it though? Dark Souls III is basically already a Bloodborne/Dark Souls rusion remake. Why bother recreating the original, which still stands well on its own, if you're gonna change it to be more like 3?
High poise builds are fun.
Poise and many other things made DS PvP terribad compared to its sequels. The game needs some refinements from the sequels.
I don't think anyone is saying that
poise actually working promotes even more builds and playstyles where you can just tank through the game which is pretty damn fun
FWIW the Kotaku article that correctly predicted the remaster announcement still mentions plans for eventually bringing DS2 and DS3 to Switch.
Does this mean the console versions will not suffer from the signature frame pacing issues in From Software games?
There's a lot of havels fatty rollers that just mash through stuff. They need they poise.
Sure. I don't know about overhauling major elements, necessarily, but the game needs some QoL improvements, if they want to get new people on board. That seems to be the goal for this game, anyway. I love Dark Souls as much as anybody, but I'm not opposed to changes that can make it better and something that potentially gets more people playing the original. I'm curious as to how it will play.
Why are people freaking out about this? DS1 with better visuals and framerate already exists on PC via dsfix. I'd think more substantial QOL changes would be welcome.
While I'm excited about the remaster, I'd rather they not mess with poise. Sure, I can still beat the game. But taking on Gwyn like a proper tank with the Shield of Artorias on my NG+ playthrough was so much more fun and less frustrating than spamming parry during my first run.
No but fighting 3 on 1 ganks without it is much more frustrating.
The things they need to make sure to do so this still feels like DS1 and not DS3: DS1 Edition
- Poise needs to work like it did in 1.
- No chugging estus and moving. You need to remain stationary like in DS1. Changing this to how it is in BB/DS3 will really mess with combat encounters.
Jury is still out on 8 way rolling because adding that changes how you need to design fights, but it is a good thing when done well. Look at DS2, that game has 8 way rolling but most bosses are slow as molasses making most boss/enemy encounters a joke unless they have some bs attack/hitbox/tracking. BB and DS3 work because the enemies and bosses are designed around the player being faster. On top of all that you need to give NPCs the ability to 8 way roll too.
Who knows, maybe they took all of this in consideration over the 2 years its been in development. Just dont screw this up From pls.
Vaati and fextralife doesn't seem like sources I would trust to be honest.
We'll see when they actually show it.
Currently I'm expecting them to just slap a new coat of paint on it in the form of Yebis, fix any 60fps bugs that we know of, improve some textures and call it a day.
I'll still buy it.

So I have to play the game your way or I havent actually beaten the game?
Yeah but that one isn't exactly doing anything that close to 60fps. This remaster could be an improvement and DS1 isn't all that effect heavy or has any of the geometry clutter of latter games so if they don't add to much to this one i could see it running alright .
For matchmaking, like the rest of the games.
DS1 on consoles didn't even had a dedicated server for matchmaking. That's why it took ages to summon someone.
You can beat DS3 easily with heavy armor/poise. What is this revisionist history?
I'd say is one of the easiest ways to beat the game.

not at all just noticed an outcry the beauty of souls is you can play it how you want
Fuck I want to get this for Switch for Portable Souls but native 4K60 on PC is mighty tempting.
Can someone tell me what poise means in Dark Souls and why people are concerned? Sorry, I've never played the DS series before.
Should be,
Ds3 already runs at 900p/30fps on xb1, df face off says so.
The engine is solid but nothing remarkable.
Probably be 720p docked and dyamic res in portable, with lower settings.
I know but is there and works wonderfully, except now it takes some timing to work. Poise needed some serious changes and the fact it was totally altered in 2 and 3 means it was broken.
Well people freaked out about how poise worked differently in DS3 than DS1 and it changed with patches too, what ever the state of things are i tuned out of that conversation once people made news stories about reddit threads.
Will it feature the cancelled content of dark souls 1?
Can i dual wield shields still?
Dark Souls had a lot of "fun" content that wasn't meta or viable but still funny to do. Dark Souls 3 has almost none of that. I hope the devs don't try to take the "fun" out of dark souls 1
edit: Calling this "remastered" is ass. I should skip out on this game just because of that. It's a remake.

Honestly I liked how 2 did it the most. Honestly of course Souls 1 poise needed some tweaks but I dunno about getting it straight from 3... this applies with almost everything (other than 8-way rolling and QoL stuff)
