Dark Souls (Demon's Souls 2) - Page 89 - Video Games

I almost never play re masters since I also play the originals to death. When they make these re masters do they add areas, bosses/enemies etc or do they just spruce up the graphics and play?

With DSCM, the PvP in DS1 is still fairly active. Just the idea of adding 50% more phantoms makes the PvP implications worth considering for me.

As far as PvE goes, I can't imagine they're going to change much, even though people pretty universally hate how copy/paste Izalith is. I feel like it's far too late to fix the late game. It would be interesting if they added another DLC region like Catarina, Carim, or Astora to explore.

I guess I'll be waiting to see what's in the remaster, but my instinct is to buy.

Ah that's interesting, yea I'm not a pvp guy so I guess your main motivation there doesn't apply to me.

According to Fextralife

So they are doing things besides look and PVP changes.

Interesting that they been working on it since at least 2016.

It's pretty cool playing it with so many people playing.

I advised a friend away from it after seeing a flood of Steam reviews with a similar theme (here's the "most helpful" one currently):

Quote:

Did you enjoy the original PC release of Dark Souls? Well, you're in luck. Players are using all your favorite hacks to invade your game and destroy your save file. The very same issues FROM Software knew about seven years ago have been remastered so they can be exploited once again. If you enjoy losing hours of your time to someone who, based on their steam comments, already did this to dozens of other players without punishment, this is the game for you.

If you're worried FROM Software might patch out these issues, don't worry! For years, they never bothered to fix the original and relied on the efforts of modders to make the game playable. Based on what I've seen so far, FROM software won't let you down.

Anyone playing on PC and seeing similar stuff? Someone else (can't find that review) was like "someone one-shotted me with a dart and I spawned cursed and with egg head" and some other effect I forgot.

I imagine PS4 should be a lot safer - I remember on previous gen, PS3 was much more insulated from hacking than Xbox 360 due to encrypted save files/user data or something of that nature.

Sounds like the frame rate is super smooth at 60 even in Blight Town, something dsfix never managed for me. I thought I read they were using the dks3 engine but if all the bugs are still in it they must have just replaced part of the rendering engine. I wonder if soul duping and moveswapping still work.

I hadn't seen this new soul dupe until just now. Seems like it might be a little tricky to get the timing down right on, but could be useful. Now if I can just get my partition resized so I have room to install the remaster.
