I always see everyone here say that the way to play Dark Souls 1 is to emulate the PS3 version rather than playing the remasterWhy is this? Is the remaster bad?
>>733643350no
>you have to do blight town at 12fps or you didnt beat the game
>>733643350It makes them feel special, just play remaster its great.
>>733643520Emulating it would be like 120 now lol
>>733643520I actually think they designed that area around it being played at 9fps.
>>733643350Severe case of old good new bad.Just play the remaster.
never heard anyone say that except maybe a random, schizophrenic "old good new bad" obsessed tranny anon every once in a while. dont really know why you would consider what they think. just get either the remaster if you care about multiplayer, or PTDE with dsfix if you dont. the reason is that the remaster looks straight up objectively worse somehow than the original. i hear there are mods for the remaster that try to restore the look of the original though, but i am not sure at the moment.
>>733643824another one. i really dont know what happened with the remaster, but the armor lost all luster.
>>733643914>>733643824I think it's Dark Souls Reremadtered
>>733644136????????
>>733644136>>733644209oops im retarded, i see now what you meant. yeah, i think this is the modhttps://www.nexusmods.com/darksoulsremastered/mods/642
>>733643350The remaster is built off the version before PTDE, which is the PS3 ported to PC without patches. They are just trying to save you some money.
>>733643350No
>>733643350Literally nobody has ever said that. The best version of the remaster visually is the switch version, if you really want to emulate that then go for it. I've heard that the audio on the switch version kind of sucks, and regardless all of the online features will just work better on steam. Except miracle resonance of course, because fuck putting effort into a product.
>>733643350PTDE is the best version on PC, but it's offline only. On the plus side, you can download it for free from the internet archive. Still needs some patches liked dsfix and ds mouse fix
>>733643350I don't know about the remaster but if you played the original Dark Souls on PC it was a fucking mess. You pretty much HAD to download some fix to make it playable. But at the time PC chads were thankful because it really didn't seem like it would ever go to PC at all.
>>733643350>Console gaming Yuck, don't you guys have PC (master race)?
Best is PTDE on PC. Remastered is okay if you can't get it and are too lazy but it is a downgrade. It saddens me that every "souls clone" doesn't get any of the good shit in DS1 right at all. They're all focused on combat, yet nothing of the atmosphere, world design and mood.
>>733647267>if you can't get itcan't get PTDE*No idea if there are any keys for it on resellers/third-party sites. Can't buy it officially anymore anyway.
Here, I made this helpful flowchart for situations exactly like this>but what's wrong with the remaster1.) Raped the specular textures, which were one of DS1's most defining visual features2.) Raped multiple particle effects3.) Raped the lighting in many areas, with specific enemies and breakable objects (including breakable architecture) looking like they aren't affected by lighting correctly4.) You cannot fix Remastered with mods, despite what anyone might tell you. There are mods to restore SOME of the original textures and particle effects, but that's it.>>733644262Never install this piece of shit mod, by the way.
>>733649058>Never install this piece of shit mod, by the waywhats bad about it? havent tried it btw im just curious since ive heard its good.
>>733643350The remaster isn't bad but there a lot of little touches that the original had that didn't get carried over properly. Not to mention anyone that had the PC version of PtDE literally had access to a mod that did everything the remaster did without touching the little things. If you're on console, Remaster is fine, but on PC PtDE might be better if you don't mind a little modding. Even then, it was a mess of a version, From was predominantly a Sony partner up until this point. Like they had some Xbox stuff but not aware of much of their stuff being on PC before DS1>>733643658I first played DS1 on PC without DSFix. It was not
>>733643350>emulate the PS3 version...what am I even reading? Why do you not have a PS3?
https://www.nexusmods.com/darksoulsremastered/mods/466This is the only mod I bother using on the remaster. I imagine it's very rare but other players can fuck with your save file like killing bosses and NPCs, and this mod stops that. Fromsoft fixed the literal remote code exec exploits, but couldn't be bothered with anything else that still matters.
Remaster has broken models and animationsSeriously, focus on the player's feet during a roll. You will never un-notice it
>>733649489>Why do you not have a PS3why would you have a console with no games especially in 2026 when you can easily emulate the zero games that are on it?
>>733643350you should emulate the game only if you want the 1.0 experience. PTDE is 1.15 version of the game and by that time the game had been seriously nerfed.
>>7336493391. I tried it and it bricked my installation despite following the instructions, reading the ReadMe, etc.2. He's the "FromSoft, hire this man" modder for FromSoft games. As other people have put it, he simply doesn't have any taste and tends to make the games look worse.3. Bugs, lots of bugs. This is because he doesn't focus on one project at a time and is developing like 5 different overhaul mods at once. Just check the bugs tab on Nexus and you'll see what I mean.
>>733649576This is a great mod
>>7336498741. maybe youre retarded and tech illiterate idk2. i think he has done a good job at fixing the horrific ugly early ps2 look of dark souls 2 with this mod, so ill give the guy props for that at least. shame the game is still shit and has ugly retarded animations still. https://www.nexusmods.com/darksouls2/mods/11603. true, this is a real issue with his projects, but i still appreciate the work regardless. its thankless work trying to fix what fromsoft wont.
>>7336502761. I am experienced modding DS1, DS2, DS3, Bloodborne, and ER without issue. Using his mod requires a .bat file, and one day that .bat file simply starting causing CTDs apropos of nothing.2. You're miscrediting the actual author who did the majority of the work here: the author of DS2 Lighting Engine, a different mod that he's using in these screenshots.
>>733643350retards keep posting that screenshot where the tranny souls streamer has his brightness cranked to 9000 to make everything appear all washed out in the remaster when it's simply not truesee here he is again >>733643914posting his same solaire picplay it for yourself and you'll see it looks nothing like this unless your shit is improperly calibrated
