When the co-director Yui Tanimura described its new version from the Dark Fantasy Soul series as “accessible”, everybody misunderstood what he meant.

It'll definitely be one of them. Praise the sun!

i'm a bit worried bout the framerate on consoles for sum reason. I'm thinking bout buying it on ps3 or pc ;S

i thought the fps in the beta was pretty low because it felt stuttery eventhough on PC I play DS1 at 30 fps so it had to be in the 20s. This was of course a beta but even Demon Souls had fps drops and this looks quite a bit better so it is bound to happen. I highly recommend PC version unless you think the limited edition case is worth the sacrifices. The game will prbably have a larger community on PC and 1080p/60fps with some texture mods is always awesome with potentially more mods than its predecessor. I really wish I could get a physical copy of the PC version just to have on display but for me it is not worth it

SilentSolid3742d ago

mm. we'll see how it turns out. I'm a bit of a trophy freak. that's why i would prefer to play it on ps3 ;)

Might wait and check out sum framerate analysis when the game is out and then I decide.

I know what you mean about those trophies I love getting them for most of the exclusives I get for the system. Been trying to get platinum in Ni No Kuni and it is actually pretty damn fun. I was wrong about PC not getting physical though at the end of a trailer it has a physical copy of the collectors edition so that is pretty awesome. Amazon just has yet to add it to the page. I do hope it has steady FPS it would be a shame if you have to not get it on the platform you would like do to it running terribly

SilentSolid3742d ago

mm. that's why I'm hoping for a ps4 version! would be awesumsauce :3

Summons753742d ago

It will definitely be a nice swan song for them, finish this move on to Demon Souls 2, next installment of the Soul series on next gen platforms.

darren_poolies3742d ago

Well Dark Souls already is (for me) so anything even close to that would be fantastic.

Hidetaka Miyazaki claims Dark Souls 2 “carried” the series forward

Dark Souls 2 remains a divisive entry in the landmark RPG franchise, but Hidetaka Miyazaki believes it led to the success of Elden Ring.

The game isn't good though.

DS2 was fine. While there was a bit of recycling assets or ideas for bosses, it was a bigger more open Dark Souls. The Fume knight boss is one of the hardest bosses in the series until Sekiro and Elden Ring were released.

The problem with Dark Souls 2 was the same problem when a different director takes over for a sequel to an outstanding movie. It typically (there are exceptions) doesn’t have the feel and vision of the previous movie.

I wouldn’t say Dark Souls 2 is terrible. Had Dark Souls 1 never been a thing and we got this, I think it would have been praised more. The problem is it didn’t have the Miyazaki touch to it and felt pretty derivative. The soundtrack is a banger though.

And it will happen in the future when he doesn’t touch them as he is planning on.

MrBaskerville56d ago

I like DS 2, might even be my favorite of the 3. But it's a hard sell, there's so many obscure things you need to do to make it an enjoyable experience. So always find it hard to recommend, but it is worth the trouble.

I beat them all with my fists and no hits were taken. What do you mean you don't believe me? I used a guitar hero controller!!!

I just made my character look like Chuck Norris.

All the bosses are only from Dark Souls. No Bloodborne, Sekiro, Elden Ring, or Demon Souls
