So, that's coming.

It already released on PC, and the port was great. But for those who still haven't checked it out, or don't have a beefy enough PC, it's coming to consoles.

If someone missed out on this game you should play it. It does things a little differently but some of those things it does splendidly. It's a cult classic.

I have this game on PS3, Steam and now I'm gonna buy it on PS4 too. This is one of my most favorite games ever. Easily on my Top 10 for sure right up there with the likes of Chrono Trigger, FFVII, Persona 5, Ninja Gaiden Black, Zelda OOT, etc.

It better be 60fps.

It only takes a mid-range PC to max out the game, hopefully the new console versions can match max settings.

Haven't played this game yet. The combat looks pretty satisfying.

Awesome news indeed. I loved the original game on the Xbox 360 so I'll most definitely be picking this up for the Xbox One.

If they are going to re-release it, fix it massive flaws. A proper save system, suicidal AI, proper AI commands, game balance, remove run stamina, proper multiplayer, better textures e.t.c...

Fun game but the niggles are a pain in the ass.

I'll have to agree with Cup on this one. Game had potential but was dragged down by numerous glaring flaws that made it a chore to do anything. No fast travel means spending 1/3 of your time running the same route over and over and over to get to your quest areas. Dumb AI on pawns made them nearly useless. Bad/uninteresting story that gives little motivation to doing the enormous amount of busy work. Bad save system that meant repeating entire sections multiple times, which was especially bad if you died at an end boss fight then had to restart the whole area.

I really wanted to like it, but I could only put up with it for ~20 hours before uninstalling. The game feels like it is intentionally trying to waste your time and keep you from playing the fun parts.

Yeah, but you only have enough port keys to set like 3 of them until late in the game.

I was having fun with the game even with it's flaws on PS3, but ran into the "corrupted save" about 30 hours in and could ever bring myself to start over.

Cool. Great game. I'd encourage anyone who hasn't played it to do so.

@walloftruth: obviously not for most of the time, but there were instances, esp in the dlc area where it got really bad with enough shit flying around

Seems to be the PC version put over. Doubt it even qualifies as a remaster.

Getting to A to B is still a pain in the ass.

Run > Stamina out > Run > Stamina out > Run > Stamina out

Your AI needs you smashing the callback button over and over to make them disengage fights and on ledges they are prone to suicide falls with no way to revive them making a reload the only option.

It tries the Darksouls thing of having you easily killed and learning from mistake, but Darksouls have very tight levels with less downtime. It's bonfires are generally well spread.

@uninspiredcup:

Yeah the hoofing it from A to B then hearthing back to Gran Soren, just to get new quests that tell you to hoof it back to B, then hearthing back to Gran Soren, and getting yet another quest that tells you to hoof it out past B got real f***ing annoying. Now that I understand how the fast travel markers actually work in Dark Arisen I'm going to give it another go, but i fully expect to be annoyed within ~10 hours again.

Also, f*** the double Ogres in the quarry, I must have tried to beat them like 10 times, managing to kill one of them several times but always getting stunned and killed by the other while my useless pawns just kept dropping over and over. I spend half the fight picking their asses up from the ground.

I wasn't that impressed with the original game, the core mechanics were okay, the content was lacking, and the game suddenly ended when I just thought things were picking up. Never bothered with DLC to see how much that added, but I didn't like original game enough to find out.

Regardless if people agree, it's going to be interested how people receive getting a dated game on a new console. I guess fans will be happy. I don't see people playing it for first time falling on love with it.

Ran better than ps3 version yes but it also chokes on bitter black isle, esp if you do stuff like double cannons etc

The DLC area is by far the best part of the game, the main content is awful
