(GameXplain) Dark Souls Switch Blighttown preview (docked+undocked)
- Thread starter Skittzo
- Start date
Thank god, I skipped the remastered PS4 because I just want Souls on the go.
Can't wait to play next week, never played dark souls before
I just hope it doesn't end here and switch gets 2 and 3 also

OT: It drives me mad seeing people fat roll, especially when trying to get somewhere fast!
But yeah, it looks fine, as expected.

The delay sadly pushed this into the release dates of a lot of other games this season, but I definitely plan if picking it up eventually.
Looks as solid as I was hoping for!

Question for Jonneh , in the video you mention that it's weird having A and B reversed in this game. Did you look into the options menu to try and reconfigure the inputs? I wanna make sure that's possible.
To be fair he went there right away from Firelink, I assume he wanted to keep the armor on to save time and not risk getting one shotted on the way.

I was unfortunatly moving house during the Network Test and didn't get a chance to play. Audio seems on par with my memory of the original game but I'll be comparing them fairly soon
You can remap Roll and Action but no matter what B is confirm in menus
Dammit
I hate this. It will take a while to get used to this fuckery.
We Souls fans are a crazy bunch. If I end up purchasing this (pls have better audio quality in the final game....PLEASE), it'll be my fourth time buying DS1.
Haha... same here (PS3, PtDE PC, Remastered PC, and potentially this).
I think you would notice if it had the Beta audio even if you didn't play the Beta. All the audio sounded like it was being run through a tin can
looks good didnt get a chance to try the network test but i got the amiibo arriving next week and the game preloaded onto the switch ready to go!
2 could run, not likely for 3 though. Doubt any of them will come though, it took an extra 6 months for w/e reason to get this game out and it might not sell as what they expected based on the initial remaster run.
If it doesn't sell good it will be their own fault not because people on switch didn't want it

Wait, really? In the network test they had the options there, they were just greyed out for some reason:
Are those options still greyed out for you?

... that's incredibly odd. Could it possibly be configured in the main menu rather than in-game?
If not why even have that option there if it can't be enabled?
The network test is basically the most damaging thing to this ports reputation which is unfortunate because it rolled back every god aspect of the game due to the build's bad audio and muddled visuals when the other builds were just fine.

What was wrong with the visuals in the network test? The game looked great to me.
On day 1 it ran pretty choppy but after that it was very smooth.
It just looked somehow worse than what I saw in gameplay videos before it launched for some reason.
I did also noticed the bad sound in portable mode. I assume by your words that final version does fix that, isn't it?
OP

Maybe it was just because it was like the most visually boring area of the game. Graphically it looked great to me.
That's interesting because the network test somewhat increased the likelyhood of me triple dipping. Even with it being one of my favorite games of all time I didn't expect it to hold up so damn well, and it was so cool playing it on a portable.
i don't like bring hyperbolic but this is the absolute worst thing ever
This is the thing about these multiplatform titles on switch
I get use to playing them on switch and it makes me want to play the whole series on switch, I don't want to be teased with just the first title then they not release anymore, not just dark souls but any of them

A short direct-feed clip if the final game. To those who played the beta, does the audio sound any better? It sounds improved to me, but I'm honestly not really sure.
I'm just... No. This can't be true. I don't mean that dramatically, I'm serious- it simply can't be true.
Why would it be there as greyed out option in the menu? Day 1 patch? It's gotta be for fucking something, for god's sake.
This simply cannot be.
OP

Yeah this is where I'm at. If it's not configurable at all that's just incredibly baffling. I mean, having the option there but greyed out is like a massive tease.
Did you try to play it on the second or third day, or just the first? A lot of us noticed it ran far better on the second and third days than it did on the first.
I have the base game on ps3, physical base game on 360 + the Games on Demand digital version, PTDE PC. Remastered on PS4/PC/Xbox One.
I intended on just buying Remastered on the Switch (I want portable Dark Souls dang it!!) but as it got delayed, I didn't want to miss out on the Remastered goodness. Originally was going to just get it on the Xbox One, but I enjoyed it so much I wound up getting it on pc and PS4 (and got the Remastered hardcover book too!!).
You are definitely on a different level! LOL This will be #4 for me if I pull the trigger... which is seeming more and more likely as each day, hour, and minute passes.
Without going frame-by-frame, it does looks a bit better to my eyes. There's definitely still some jitteriness but it looks to be more inline with say Bloodborne rather than what I saw in the network test.
