For me I think I'll go XB1 as I have an X now and HDR is awesome on Witcher 3 etc. Though a 2nd purchase on switch would be lovely. Depends what ridiculous price they slap on it

I played Skyrim to death on my PC and I still play it, however I purchased it for my switch because the idea of having such a great conversion of an epic game as a handheld was too much of a temptation.

I am sure I will feel the same way about Dark Souls. I put around 90 hours into it on the PC, but hey.....I can respec and do it all again!
 
Ahh well looks like it is just a basic upgrade after all. Some miss information all over the place yesterday

So with that in mind I can see steam doing an upgrade deal like with SotfS, as someone aluded to on the last page
 
Think it'll get a Scholar type overhaul/buff of the enemy placements and numbers? Even as a bonus mode or a NG+ addition that would be so fun. Haven't played the game for years but I still know the placement of every enemy, so don't think pretty new graphics alone would bring me back, especially when it looks amazing with the DSFix mod and all of it's enhanced graphic options like SMAA and HBAO the mod injected.

I do expect it to look amazing though, Demon's Souls emulated at a high resolution has some of the best non-modded textures I've ever seen, and they aren't manipulated in any way except the game being a much higher internal resolution, so the textures themselves were super high quality for an 09 game.

I would have preferred demon souls and Bloodborne to be honest.

They should do that on steam.

I do think the price is steep on console if it's not on a new engine etc. Makes sense it's not ds3 engine as it would take some fettling to get that running on a switch.

It does tempt me to get a switch though.

So they're basically admitting that Izalith will be completely redone, right? I mean, they aren't... But if they expect full price for a glossy touch up, they're smoking some of that good jenkem.

Its $39.99 with no discounts which means £39.99 or £34.99 in UK. Only major difference is 4K upscaled & its not using another game engine either so not sure who Namco think is going to buy this!

I think that'll be £29.99 like PTDE was when it first got a PC port, but yeah that's too much for what will essentially be the original with integrated DSFix, infact DSFix will probably still look better.
 
Remember: This is a current-gen console port. It's only coming to pc as well as it's pretty low cost to add that, and might attract a few newcomers to the series.
 
Oh? No nice update for those already owning it? Bit of a ripoff then!

If it's a Bioshock 'remaster' deal then 100% not worth it lol
 
Is it me or does something seem off with the speed of everything in those videos?

It looks like it's playing a little bit slower to me.
 
Why are these so called 'remastered' games even a thing? This looks utterly gash but the fanboy's will no doubt have semi's for it.
I have not seen one remaster done to a level that's purchase worthy but yet they come out at full price for what some like nothing but a poor paint job.

Seems like yet another way for publishers to make easy money on top of DLC, loot crates, skins and micro transactions and yet people lap it up for some reason.
