Dark Souls: Remastered took its time to land on Nintendo Switch but the wait is now over. Without further ado, you can watch these few minutes of gameplay captured in docked mode obviously.
The Switch version looks very good. Much better than the X360 and PS3 versions. I would even say it looks better than the old "Prepare to Die" edition on PC without the DSFix by Durante.
The image looks very sharp, I believe resolution is at 1080p, though will have to wait for Digital Foundry's verdict. Still, the game looks much better than I thought it would.
Just interested to know how stable the performance is, specially in a place like Blighttown. Dark Souls doesn't require 60fps, as long as the framerate is rock solid. Other than that, this looks incredibly good, even more so keeping in mind the limited hardware specs of the Switch.
PS. It still blows my mind how great this game looks. At times it feels like I'm watching the Remastered PC version. Is this the best looking game on Switch?

And there is obvious slowdown on undead burg. framerate or shit framepacing. Still, PTDE is still WAYS better than Demaster edition, just for that.

@KORNdog: hah you mentioned tlou II, i cancelled my pre-order because i'm too hyped for next-gen now, but when the hype kicks in i'll buy it at release most likely. (3 Days ago)

PC for me is best available platform, thanks to the huge games library and 60fps for all games.But still getting a new console for first parties... (3 Days ago)
Seth
sry my mistake, ye i wanted to say that they are huge fans of first parties and ready to move on and wait ages for eventual pc port. (3 Days ago)
KORNdog
there are people out there who are going to wait for PS5 before playing last of us 2. but even that sort of wait sounds far too excruciating to me. (3 Days ago)
KORNdog
@Seth: i mean, it's a viable option, but if you were a big fan of sony exclusives to begin with you'd need to have an insane amount of patience to wait 3 years to play it on PC (3 Days ago)
Seth
@KORNdog: yeah i don't see this happen anytime soon. it's why i find funny some people suddenly say ''i'm done, after 25 years with ps, moving to pc''. (3 Days ago)
