Dark Souls Remastered will be discounted by 50% to all PC owners of the first game

DSOGaming writes: "Earlier today, Bandai Namco revealed that Dark Souls Remastered will be coming to the PC on May 25th. Naturally, and given the awful initial state of the PC version of the first Dark Souls game, a lot of PC gamers wondered whether this would be a free upgrade for them. Well, contrary to the Bioshock remasters, Dark Souls Remastered will be a separate product. However, there will be a great discount for all PC owners of the original game."

A shame it won't be free, but the chance to finally play the game with 60fps is good enough reason for me to buy it again, and play it again.
(I know you could use DSFix to enable 60fps, but I heard it could make the game unstable so I didn't bother with it, just used it for 1080p)

Movefasta19932293d ago

It was unstable but when it worked it was awesome

DreadGara2293d ago

Most importantly is the game servers, always been the main problem.

MadLad2293d ago (Edited 2293d ago )

Yeah. I couldn't be bothered fixing the game for them. The only title in my steam library I did this for was Deadly Premonition, and only because I hold that game near and dear to my heart.
Happy with this gesture though, being that I bought the game (admittedly at a discount), but could never be bothered to play the game at 30fps/720p.

That said, I wonder if the discount will hold to future Steam sales as well, being that I can't really justify paying almost 30 bucks (about $8 originally, then $20 here), to play a proper version of a 7 year old title on PC. Especially when I can get the two sequels, together, for about the same price.

-edit- NVM
Just noticed that this discount is not accurate. Well, with that said, can't wait to grab this one on G2A for a few bucks in about a year or so. Already paid you once for a lackluster, cash grab, port to PC. You aren't getting my money twice. Unless this hits Steam for $10 before the same can be said on G2A, anyway.

Moral of the story, if you are going to release on PC, at least give the bare minimum and allow for 1080p/60fps out of the gate.

Why don't we see these goodwill gestures on the console?

AspiringProGenji2295d ago

Probably because the console version wasn’t broken.

NordicRainy2294d ago

The PC version wasn't broken. It was flawed (30fps cap, 720p max without DSFix, lack of graphics settings and bad kb/mouse controls but honestly these games were made to be played on the gamepad). It was more playable than the console versions for sure.

SilentSolid2293d ago

PC version of DS was basically the console version, quality wise. That's why it was criticized. Higher standards there.

PurpHerbison2293d ago

But the PC version was a raw console port...

KTF262293d ago

it's not broken
PC gamers aren't happy with the straight console port
but unlike console you can get solid 30 fps in blighttown

Intentions2295d ago

Probably cause it'll be hard to prove/track that you have owned or still own the game on console (excluding digital version).

uth112293d ago

because dark souls isn't on PS4, XB1 Switch?

SirBradders2293d ago

Because PC gamers are broke from spending all their money on Hardware :-p

agent45322293d ago

Probably because console gamers don't demand it for it.

Any news on what's in this remaster? I see 60 fps, native 4k, but that doesn't tell us much.

Rivitur2293d ago

All dlc, 60fps, 4k, 2k textures, updated online multiplayer

Actually just here: https://pbs.twimg.com/media...

beanplant2293d ago

Is everyone not aware that you can already play this at 60 fps on PC with a simple mod? The only reason I see of getting this is for the online invasions seeing as probably the player base will migrate to the new version. And maybe better graphics?

Darkwatchman2293d ago

It will have better graphics. The original pc version is a straight console port. We already know for a fact that this remaster will have “2k” textures on pc, so higher quality texture work than any existing version of it has. And who knows what else they’ll do to it

Rivitur2293d ago

Can we get this article taken down? it's been reported that no one will be getting any discount

My first thought was the safe rooms in the resident evil series. When you hear that enchanting music you know you’re safe.

Killer2020UK270d ago

I literally just came here to post this. That music in the Resi 1 safe rooms is playing in my head.

Rimeskeem270d ago

I was thinking TLOU work benches. Although I remember one time where it was a false security.

closed_account269d ago

Perfect. 👌👌

I'd add the top of my highrise apartment in GTA Online. That calm, quiet peace, just knowing as soon as I step out that door I will be bombarded by 8 and 12 year olds calling each other n**** and f****, trolled by combat jets and rocket launchers.

The entire map of SotC is peaceful as hell. Used to just ride around exploring it.

mastershredder270d ago (Edited 270d ago )

Afterlife in Cyberpunk 2077 is a peaceful area? Erm, hands down and very hard to miss, Misty Olszewski's Esoterica is the absolute epitome of peaceful areas in that game.

raiden_188270d ago

The "last of us" deer location i found to be a welcoming respite. It was nice to not have someone trying to eat me.

RPGer269d ago

Kingdom Hearts tend to present half peaceful areas and most of them are amazing.

Easiest Boss Fights in Games That Aren't Easy

Patches is 'dim-witted'? I don't know about that. That's what he wants you to think maybe.

I don't remember TW3 bosses being easy but I played it on Death March and a crippled peasant armed with a broken twig could one hit kill you.
