Looks ok. The lightsaber looks weak though. Striking a stormtrooper a dozen times with a lightsaber is half the reason I hated The Force Unleashed.

This.

One point I'd like to add.

The PS3 and 360 life cycle ran long, comparatively to other console generations, and it hurt the industry pretty hard. Sales plateaued, creativity took a dive, and we got way more sequels than anything else for years.

@ghstbstr: As someone who has played the Mass Effect trilogy on the PC and recently finished up Infamous Second Son, that statement is laughably incorrect.

Do they look better than the PS3/360 counterparts, sure. But the graphics from one version to the other really took nothing away from the overall experience for me.

Now, if they straight up remade the game with new animations, particle effects, and better character models then maybe I'd think about it but all it'd be is an upscaling with locked FPS. Though this is EA we're talking about so even that may be pushing it.

After a price drop, maybe. I played the hell out of all three as is and they didn't really look/run poorly in the first place so an upscaling seems unnecessary.

@gpuFX16: Agree about the controls. DS1 had some input lag that bugged me. DS2 is quicker and more responsive. Good thing too, since there are less invisibility frames and dodging can be a pain in the ass.

Yeah that's something I loved about DS1 too. You really feel connected to the world and get to see where you're going long before you get there. If you see a distant structure you simply figure out how to get there later. You can even get glimpses of bosses before the actual fight.

This is something that just doesn't exist in DS2. Which is a damn shame since it seems like it won't be that way at the start. Seeing the Castle off in the distance from Majula made me giddy to start exploring. But instead of creating interconnected environments it's just a large mess of random areas crammed together.

Not a deal breaker or anything. The game is still great, it's just a disappointment in that area.

PS4. I don't have an Xbox One yet. I want one but I have no reason to purchase one yet.

I came here to say the same thing. Demon's Souls tried something new and succeeded admirably. Dark Souls was an extension of that concept and succeeded in a number of ways, such as fantastic lore hidden through a tightly connected world.

Speaking of which, has anyone noticed how weird the world is designed in DSII? For example, if you go to Harvest Valley, you can look at the windmill and that's all there is. It's just empty air around the windmill, which is fine. So you climb the tower, kill the medusa thing, and then there's an elevator that takes you to the Iron Keep. Apparently, the Iron Keep is invisible from the outside because it comes out of nowhere. It just isn't as tightly designed as Dark Souls 1.

Anyway, Demon's Souls deserves more recognition. It did things in it's design that influenced several other titles. Something that very, very few games did this past generation.

Visceral is a pretty talented team so this is extremely good news.

Dark Souls II. I replayed the original prior to the second's release just for the whole hype thing and I was surprised with how muddy the second game looks in comparison. Though DSII has clothe physics, which is a nice bonus.

I'm not sure I'd say they're technically worse, but the PS360 era Silent Hill games were much less ambitious than the PS2 titles. SH2 and 3 dished out some of the most impressive visuals at the time but holy crap were the newer ones as low budget as they get.

Uncharted 2's MP looks way better than 3's. Playing them back to back is interesting because literally everything looked better in 2. It was weird that lighting and textures took a hit in 3, but more so that they removed little animations. In 2, you climbed the stairs, in 3 you glide up them.
