​

After delaying the Nintendo Switch version of Dark Souls: Remastered, developer From Software also made it known that the Steam/PC version of the original Dark Souls: Prepare to Die edition of the game will be removed from Steam on May 8th. The game will be entirely replaced by the new Remastered version, and you'll no longer be able to buy the original. However, if you still own the game, you'll be able to redownload it and play it indefinitely. As a bonus to PC players, they'll be getting a 50% off discount for Remastered if they own the original. Publisher Bandai Namco also gave us a trailer to show off the remaster's visual differences. Dark Souls: Remastered launches on May 25 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC, while a Switch version will release later this summer.

So they just took the old game, upped the texture resolution (something you could do with mods) and resold it at full price for pc??

The new graphical improvements look pretty decent, especially the lighting.
Still, as someone who played the original the improvements are not noticeable enough that I'd bother to replay it.
Pretty nice for newcomers to the series though.

Will this be removed from my library?

No. Steam games are never removed from ones library even if they are taken off the store.

FFS, no. Why do people believe this?

Been playing the original Dark Souls Prepare to Die Edition on PC. It's not actually that bad to play, though setting it up is a bit of a pain due to how picky the game is about certain features such as controller inputs. Don't know if I would buy this again as I'm quite far already.

10€ could be a reasonable price, but I don't really understand the price of the console ports being ~40+€

50% off. Fair enough. How much is it gonna cost though?

 

[lolboy]

I have enjoyed many games in my life but the Dark souls series is the best I have ever played. I will buy this game just to support dev and have HD collection complete.

Wasn't Namco all "Nope no discount sorry!" when they announced the remaster and said people who owned the game would get 50% off? Nice to see they were just straight up lying back then, might make me buy it for PC if it's just $20 then.

Base game is $40, 50% off would be $20.

 

[netovsk]

Hahaahah the sad part is that they're probably going to get away with selling a remaster on PC.

I should look deeper into the differences to see if the changes actually warant a 20$ purchase.

Did they at least fix the issues the PC port had? The shitty optimization, etc?

 

[brunocar]

so they are basically gonna split the playerbase behind a paywall, not only did i pay for their shitty port, but now the also want to put a paywall behind a patch for the game? i mean, for fucks sake, its a PC game, it doesnt need a remaster, its just a fucking patch

 

[Missing Number]

50% discount for owners is how it should always be........ but i wouldn't mind 75% either lol

 

[HaloEliteLegend]

Wasn't the original DS1 PC port a dumpster fire? At least Steam will now have a properly playable version of the game for new players. Sucks that owners of the original didn't get the Remaster for free, though. Bethesda gave Skyrim: Special Edition for free to original Skyrim owners, and 2K gave the BioShock remasters for free to owners of those original games.

 

[DarthDub]

Should be free for people who already bought the game.
