Building upon its improved frame rate, it also boasts some slight, well-appreciated touch-ups, such as brighter Bonfire flames, detailed smoke particles, and more well-lit corners. Other locations like Undead Burg, though? Beautiful in comparison.Īttention is in the details, and Dark Souls Remastered stays true to this. Big explosions or fire effects might lead to minor drops in the frame rate, while places like Sen’s Fortress still appeared a little patchy.
In certain instances, however, a dip in performance can be detected. Blighttown’s wood mill elevators, for example, are finally, finally more manageable, and taking down the Chaos Witch did indeed feel easier. In a way, it makes the game easier – by only a slight margin, of course, since this is Dark Souls we’re talking about – for veterans should know how a difference in frame rate can easily lead to a life-or-death battle, especially for this unforgiving title here. Everything is sharper and buttery smooth, a noticeable improvement even during our first trial run of the game, so much so that it may take older fans a while to get accustomed to it.

Clocking in 1080p at 60fps on the PS4, it’s a far cry from the original, which ran at 720p and had intermittent frame rate performance issues. Instead of choppy frame rates and awkward gameplay, the newer installment sports slicker, more fluid flow, with consistently higher frame rates that are most evidently seen in Blighttown. The remastered version comes with all of these, and then some. Once I slowly got back into the groove of things, though, it was clear why the original title remained one of the most well-touted fan-favourites in the community – the thrill of executing parries at the perfect time window, the immense sense of gratification of surmounting challenges, colourful characters, the impressive effort put into world-building, and the deep, rich lore that houses them all.
So when the chance to revisit the world of Lordan arrived in the form of Dark Souls Remastered, I was a little apprehensive to take up the challenge once again – as the gaming landscape has evolved over time to include faster-paced, equally story-rich titles.
