Seen as it's a completely different game made by a different developer, I have a feeling it will go down a lot better on the Switch. I'll consider it.
Switch Owners: Are You Still Getting Dark Souls Remastered?
- Thread starter Lozjam
- Start date
I really wonder what kind of development trouble caused such a significant delay to the version that was announced first, but yes I do plan to pick it up. I played Dark Souls through the bad PC port so I didn't get a chance to truly enjoy it. I feel this is my chance to get in and play it on the go.
Was going to be my first Souls game before the delay, but now there's a decent amount of stuff coming this summer that I want to sink my teeth into (Tennis, Octopath, Wolfenstein just off the top of my head) so I don't think I can justify throwing $60 on such an old game. This is prime "pick it up when you're bored on a weekend and it's on sale on the eShop" material.
It's Dark Souls with a lower frame rate, and worse controls. Having it handheld is neat, but ultimately pointless with joy-con controls. You can play it docked with the pro controller, but again it's 30fps. You might as well play it on PS4, or Xbox with 60fps, and with two of the best controls for consoles.
You mean flat out announcing that the game will now release as a bundle with the sequels on Switch? Yeah, don't think that's possible, but if they did it, I'd probably just buy it day one no matter what :-). Still seems to me that it makes no sense from the business perspective, other than maybe earning major goodwill among Switch fans if they have big plans with the console for some reason.
It was 40.
Anyway it depends on if its released before the end of of august. If it fails to meet that then no.
This. Considering getting rid of my pre-order.
I'll still get the Solaire amiibo though.
I would have bought it day one if it hadn't been delayed, but now there will be too many other actually new games to play, so I'll be waiting for a random sale to pick it up.
Of course with dark souls 1 being the pinnacle of soulsborne games, and my 2nd fav game all time. Its a no brainer.
I was going to get it on release day, but it was delayed, so I ended up with the PS4 version instead. I've gotta be honest, after this playthrough, I'm going to be pretty tired of ol' DS1. If I do end up getting it on the Switch, it'll be because of a deep, deep sale. That, and going back to 30fps is going to be rough.
There are too many games coing out now on the Switch that I want to try more than Dark Souls, Crash, Wolfenstein, YS, SNK Heroines or Wasteland 2. Definitely later, but not now.
I'm pretty torn because I never played it when it released, I've since completed DS3 and BB. So I kinda want to go back to the game, and what better way than on my Switch which I tend to play on my lunch break at work. So it'd be a nice meaty game to last me awhile. But then... I already own it on PC sitting there... hmm.
Not me, not really into the series. I couldn't even get into Bloodborne. I'm just not good enough. Sad really.
Yup, I've played it enough times and across multiple platforms to happily wait for the Switch release to drop, no rush for me.
I already played the original on PC. I planned to get the remaster but I changed my mind in the last seconds.
I don't use my Switch as a portable system so there's zero reason for me to get the Switch version.

I've already played it on PC before, and also most recently too. Still waiting on my Switch version for some Bedtime Souls.
Eventually. I always planned on eventually anyway. I've completed Dark Souls once and I'd like to play some other titles first. I still have a bit of fatigue from grinding moonlight forest areas!

With the recent news, of there being no news, I have found my interest waning even more, so I don't think I will even bother with a sale: So, I would be interested if people changed their vote due to this inane lack of information. Namco and From Software really messed this one up. The fact that we only have, like, 1 and a half months of summer left, and still have no information is absolutely ridiculous. I am not supporting this incompetence of communication, management, and support. I will maybe, get it used, if I get it at all.
How's Bamco/From are handling this is very shady and makes an already questionable delay sounds even more dubious. It's like they're intentionally trying to sabotage the Switch according to their actions and radio silence. It's a shame, really.
The lack of communication killed it for me. I keep forgetting about this game all-together. I can't anticipate something with a nebulous release date. And now there are so many other games competing for my money and attention.
Went from "Put it in my veins! Day One!" to "Will pick up from the bargain bins when it bombs". And I bet I'm not the only one.

People in another thread are asking, "Iconoclasts or Salt and Sanctuary?" and consistently getting the answer that they'll like S&S if they liked Dark Souls, and here I am wondering: Salt and Sanctuary or Dark Souls? If they're reportedly so alike, should I even bother waiting for the latter when S&S is right there and I have a better head for 2D anyway?
Isn't S&S like a $10 indie game? You might as well just get it lol.
Neeeeeeeehhhhhhhh... Maybe? There's a lot of stuff coming out in the next couple of months and at this point I'm more likely to grab the PS4 rerelease just to have the whole series on one system.
Hollow Knight gave me the Switch difficult combat exploration lore-heavy port I wanted several months ago. Dark Souls had a shot, and then they missed it.
