Dark Souls Remastered On PS4 Pro: Watch 30 Minutes Of Gameplay

@chillingnaire: so just don't buy it then. Why people pay for a remaster of a game they've already played is beyond my comprehension to begin with (unless you no longer have access to play the original). But had they changed the graphics, people would be on here bitching how they wished it looked more like the original. The developers just can't win because people will bitch and complain no matter what.

@illnova1979:

It does look better. No question about that. I guess for me personally though, I was expecting it to look MORE better than it does to justify a brand new purchase.

I don't think it's unfair to observe that some folks (myself included) were hoping for a bigger graphical improvement on the original than what is being shown here to make the case for a second purchase.

I hate to use a term that might cause people to explode but this kinda looks...I dunno...a little "incremental" of an update rather than a real game changer.

@illnova1979: I'm really excited for this. Haven't played it since it came out on ps3. Miss being a slow rolling knight. This game was the best.

@illnova1979: If they just made the PS4 backwards compatible, this wouldnt be a problem.

@ChrisAnetkaC: Why you calling out just Sony?? It specifies both Sony and Microsoft. Also PS4 Pro and Xbox One X are classified as NEW consoles technically since their the last console versions the two companies made.

@archlvt: There is no incentive for you. Not sure why you were looking forward to this to begin with. Judging by every remaster they make for consoles, not sure where the high expectations came from. It would've been awesome to have a "remake" but for people like me who don't own a pc and don't have a PS3 anymore, it's the best thing ever.

@archlvt: Convenience, reinvigorated playerbase, rock-solid performance. Other than that, it does not appear to be worth $40. Maybe get it for cheaper on a Steam sale or something I dunno.

@speed45823: While I agree that this does not appear to be worth the $40 they are asking, the changes are noticeable. The textures for many parts do seem much higher res and there are some lighting changes that appear to add at least one effect that I see that I don't think can be done through mods. Also, there were limits on how many textures could be modded in the PC version of the original as well as it adding lots of stuttering because it had to use a weird work around to mod in the textures. This version will most likely be free of those issues.

I did notice though that it does not appear to have as good of ambient occlusion that the PC can have added to it so this version may have improvements in some areas and downgrades in others... but if this new remastered version could have those mods added in as well then it will probably be the superior version ultimately.

@wexorian: New PC version is native 4K 60FPS. The video above was not recorded at 4K, streamed at 4K, nor is it the PC version. It's the lowest of the current 3 usable options.

@DeathCrusher91: These graphics aren't even on par with dark souls 2. This is just laughable.

@jfracchia: Cause it's a remaster not a remake...

@tgwolf: everybody, I’m sorry this person posted this ignorant comment. They clearly don’t know what they’re talking about when they said “Perfect illustration of how there just aren't enough games on modern systems that are worth getting”.

@v1ndictive: Not getting my hopes up after seeing this.
