It's hyperarmor.
It's lame as hell and it ruined PvP (HavelMom is the peak cancer form of DS1.) Poise is an awful mechanic that hasn't been done well, outside of heavy weapons having armor on their attacks, which is fine.

I don't get it either, isn't a Remaster using old assets while a Remake basically starts from scratch?
The thing it was always there, they later changed the poise calculations to buff heavy armors but it still works like day one.
Well i can expect no actual info at all on this matter until we hit the credits on those games i guess. I won't be taking much from the rumor mill at this point unless it is stated somewhere official.
This is great imo. I've played DS1 the most out of all the Souls games and I still keep coming back for more. So to get a remix/remake/remaster is great to me. If the combat is closer to DS3's, then they will have to balance and change other things too, so I'm excited for that. I've still got the original and still intend to play it just like DS2 vanilla and SOTFS are different.
I really don't care for the "6 player" aspect, since it just sounds like a clusterfuck to me and not the way I used to play pvp, but I think that's how DS3 is and people played the shit out of that, so no reason they wouldn't welcome it here too.

What? That's literally what it says.
Ok. Followed by
They start the sentence by saying they are specifically not referring to the Switch port here.
As far as I remember DS2 poise was a joke. I think DS3 is the best solution so far, but still needs further tweaks, I agree is far from perfect.
Didn't they say that they were just using DS3's lighting engine and effects? How is it going to run at 60 fps on base Ps4 if it's a full remake?
I hope they don't fuck with the combat too much. The weighty feel and controls was what made boss fights so tense. I'm interested in how they handle this.
most of us don't care about you. I care for myself and I like the change to DS3
Oh oh it's arbitrary video game jargon that has no definitive meaning unless someone decides to make the oxford dictionary for video game terms.
If that's the only source for Switch port being in-house and the others not, then it's a very weak proof.
Kotaku didn't say what any of the porting companies are, just that Switch is ported by Company A and PS4/XBO/PC is ported by Company B. They're likely both outsourced.
Dude, the Switch version being handled by a different company could potentially mean it's an actual remaster while the others are a remake. So I could get the full package by double dipping? NICE.
Basically.
my interpretation is that it's using the new ds3 engine so they can use the lighting system, but will continue to use the old ds1 assets. this is complete speculation on my part, but i feel like they wouldn't use the word remaster if they had completely remade all the assets/world.
I didn't say anybody cared about me. I was saying that my hype for the game had dropped because of this, and somebody told me not to say that because most people supposedly prefer DS3's combat.
I was posting my thoughts on the matter, not telling anyone else how they should feel
So a prettier version of Durante's dsfix edition with change to the combat (speed to adjust for double the frame rate of the original?)?
True that it's the only source, but the other versions already had the DS3 engine running, and very early rumours from a year ago said From software was porting DS3 (and had an internal build running).
It's also a strange detail to mention in a rumor that turned out to be correct
I hope not.
Honestly, one of my best memories in all of gaming was making my way from Undead Burg to the Depths and upper & lower Blighttown, not knowing when or if I'd ever see the sun again. Stuck down there for countless hours until finally finding my way out up the water wheel and through New Londo Ruins to get back to Firelink Shrine.
Seeing the sun again after all that was the biggest sense of relief I'd ever gotten from a game.
This and poise are the biggest factors for me. If they change any compared to the original then I'm out.
As far as we know "combat differences" could just mean that it's now possible to swing your sword while in a tight hallway though right?
Agreed, it would be a massive blunder to change these two aspects of the game.
The combat differences stuff is pure speculation based on too sources who I would not rely on at all.
Pretty irresponsible to have that in the OP.

Yes, I remember that too, that feeling when the Firelink theme started playing, and yes, spent many hours down in the swamp dying to fucking mosquitos, poison and toxin, mind you I didn't have the ring, it wasn't until later that I found out about the ring that made you move faster in the swamp, made it so much faster and less painful.
