I've been playing DS PtDe for years now with the HD texture mods and a few other ones, and for 90% of the cases, the remastered looks way better, like WAY better.Īnyway, what's a good early game weapon? I'm just using a Long Sword atm, but I also have the Estoc and Zweihander in my inventory, which I've read are good too if you have the stats.Halberd. I have noticed the game slowing down on my laptop when FPS gets low, like 20 fps, which is annoying. I haven't bought it yet, btw.I have played the remaster on 3 computers now with monitors over 60hz, no issues. Old cheat engine hacks work flawlessly though, so that's great! What we don't know is whether the anticheat picks up on that or not, since it was possible in previous DS games to get softbanned for certain mods.

Also game files come unpacked in this version, so old sound and texture replacement mods will likely work here too. Shouldn't be a problem as it's well optimised, but still, wtf. Which means if your fps dips, the game slows down. Also the game speed is tied to fps with 60 being the base. The game crashes on monitors that don't have 60Hz refresh rate. Not sure about getting it for the Switch yet either.ĭSR PC has some technical problems. I was going to get this for the PS4 instead however given the price discount and my Steam Link I'll probably just stream it to the lounge room if I feel like playing it on the couch.

I'll write more once I've had a bit more of a play with it. On the negative side, while the upgraded textures do look good in most areas, they don't appear to have touched all of them and in some places the contrast between the two can be somewhat jarring ditto for the enemies. The gameplay appears to be more responsive now, although I'm playing as a Wanderer for the first time so am still getting used to how much faster he is than the enemies in the Asylum. So far I've beaten the Asylum Demon and taken a quick look outside, but haven't really noticed much of a difference apart from an abundance of ghost activity and an improvement to the look of the in-game player character. Just had my first 15 minute play of the remaster on PC.
