Bubblews: "From Software recently commented that they have once considered a potential release of Dark Souls 2 for the PS4 and Xbox 720 before ultimately deciding against it. By not releasing the video game for the next-generation platforms, the developer is missing out on some benefits."
Dark Souls 2 remains a divisive entry in the landmark RPG franchise, but Hidetaka Miyazaki believes it led to the success of Elden Ring.
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.
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.

The Nerd Stash: “Whether you’re here to gloat about your victories or to see what the fuss is about, we present to you the hardest bosses in the Souls series.”
Better FPS, thats the only thing i can see thats good, enlighten me. Al though, i don't think they would bother, for a nex gen console that would launch with at least 1 million install base. Current gen consoles have a massive install base with over 150 million gamers around the globe
I really hope they do, I don't see why they can't.
In other words I am going to buy the PC version.
One benefit i would see with a PS4 version is the fact that I could live-stream the game. My friends and I play a lot of Dark Souls and sometimes we're trying to describe certain areas, but the details are tough. With the PS4, I could livestream with my friends all the locations and situations that we would normally talk about.
