Dark Souls on Switch: Complete Analysis + Xbox 360/PS4 Graphics Comparison!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- Developer Virtuos crafts a unique port for Switch with its own pros and cons. At its basis, this is the original 360/PS3 version of the game with none of the visual embellishments seen in the PS4 remaster - besides the change to a dynamic 1080p while docked. However there's more to this version than first meets the eye, as Tom explains.
Update: Switch's GPU runs at 768MHz in docked mode - as opposed to the 968MHz mentioned here. This drops by 39% GPU power in its handheld state, to 307Mhz, which is correct in the analysis. Sorry for any confusion!

Playing this in front of an actual bonfire in the dark must be the most immersive experience ever. I will do that as soon as I can.
Going camping soon and I think I'm gonna do that
@@renofheavens2
Calling it "Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition" would probably have tempered expectations appropriately in all honesty.
After they saw how much hate the Remaster got for the changes it made they probably thought people would be happy to see the original look of the game. "But the bonfires aren't supposed to move cause they're ethereal!" "Armour looks like plastic and it's too bright, preorder canceled!" "Lol 40 dollar patch, PTD with dsfix looks better!"
Prepare to Die: On the Go
the original PC port was called exactly that, most people died inside from the awful render resolution though
@@jokerzwild00 Yeah I hate the new look aswell but I doubt they switched back to the old look for Switch. I believe that was an intentional decision from the start since the new shaders probably would have caused issues on Switch's limited hardware.
@@jokerzwild00 wow I'm just happy to play the game as It looks and sounds fine on switch.
I would have loved to play this on my Switch, and all the visuals minus the weird fire effects are great for the system. It’s just the audio. Something going through my TV speakers shouldn’t sound like my DS
Playing it in Handheld mode is much better imo, sitting back on the couch and fighting some of my favorite Soulsborne bosses is something pretty damn sweet :) Also I think using earbuds or a headset on the switch makes it sound a bit better
@@kavoj9483 and now we finally have Bluetooth headphone support. Such a good time to be a Souls fan.
@@silverbags1208 Lol. I didnt know that until I read this comment.
@@silverbags1208
Wait what?
@@flowerthencrranger3854 yup!
Why did they reduce the sound quality? To save space?
Jen Soon Ng Probably. Its a strange choice and sound effects are really dated already. Shame they didnt update them with the remaster.
That'd be my bet. I'd love to hear the reason from the developer.
They wanted to use a 4GB Cartridge instead of a 8GB Cartridge.
+FireFly They used an 8gb cartridge, which still has almost half of it's capacity left.
Jen Soon Ng pretty much
I actually prefer the lighting in the original vs the remastered on PS4. My biggest gripe is the button configuration. Please fix this by allowing full customization.
Comments: OMG the switch looks so last gen its soooo terrible!
*looks at crowbcat dark souls remaster video*
Comments: OMG the current gen looks horrible! Last gen is much better!
Me: .....uhm...what
its almost like some things are subjective. wowee what a shock
I prefer how the switch version looks. If only the audio wasn't messed up...
Almost like that the QLOC curse was involved.
Anyway, I love my Switch. I love gaming. Games are cool.
@@shinbakihanma2749 stop crying in every comment, we got it, you don't like the switch, so stfu already.
Could you guys do Wolfenstein II Update 1.2 analysis next just like you did with Doom?
There's lots of talk about a very noticeable resolution boost docked and steady performance undocked.....Is this accurate?
Almighty Nintendo Pharaoh play the game ? Can u see the difference ? Well done
I've already beaten the game on patch 1.1 ^_^
Almighty Nintendo Pharaoh still garbage
@@acebreaker7 graphics still don't affect a games fun
Bo Bo never said graphics but the framerate is bad, switch owners have some low standards to accept that as worth a damn
Omg this is garbage. It isnt running in native 12k at 1400 fps. I will pass thank you.
Teroskull Tell me this is a joke.
Scrub shill.
@@MaxAndrew It's a joke. The exaggeration of the resolution and framerate gave it away.
i know right the switch should be like 5 dollars it doesnt even match my new pc lmao how weak xD xD xD
@@shinbakihanma2749 how sad
"But it's lacking the new visual features from the current gen remaster" So, the Switch version is the best looking one then.
But it's also lacking visual features from the past gen version...
Seriously, why did I even buy the stupid remaster for PC. It looks so bad.
Maverick Hunter K is it that bad? I was going to wait for a steam sale instead of buying on switch
They should release a patch to improve sound quality.
howd that turn out
@@ZeludeRose :(
Ironically nexusmods has a HQ audio pack for the switch version, which you can easily just copy paste onto your SD card in the respective folder if you have a switch that's hacked. It's only like 750 MB too.
@@TexelGuy going to do that my switch is hacked haha
@@TexelGuy its increeible playing it portably. it looks amazing
It's difficult to articulate just how bad the audio is in this version, it's worse than some PS1 games for christ sake. I've extracted the audio from the cart and looked at it with foobar and it's compressed using FMOD at 16khz sample rate. 16 bloody khz, that's just insane. Some of the music tracks, especially the asylum demon/taurus demon bossfight track sound comically bad. Yet the PC version's 41khz mp3s sound pristine. Looking at it with a spectrograph shows an extremely sharp drop in volume with anything over 8khz, down to like -9db. It's just terrible stuff. Might be the worst sounding game I've heard in about 10 years.
Yeah. Everything this video demonstrates makes sense and was to be expected, except for this. Sound quality has virtually nothing to do with performance, and I bet the compression they did saved but a few dozens mb (if that).
But why did they compress the audio? It's certain that they are using an 8 GB cartridge then why not use the remaining space for better audio files?
Lol, you need to get a girlfriend... Or something else to do with your time. Feck me!!!!
Kube's girlfriend is Nintendo.
@@PugLifeJM Maybe a patch will be added later for the audio?
So this seems to be the remaster everyone wanted?
With that audio, goodness no.
no
@Tobias Wayne Damn! Took 13 frames of my second to realize that these were bots! What a waste of time!
With that fps, nope.
I'm 2 years late but this switch remaster is gonna get me into dark souls serie. It looks sweet and i can't wait to play it
I just played through the series for the first time, you’re in for a treat. Bloodborne is my favorite 😊
Welcome buddy. Bloodborne is the best soulsborne
@@soccerdude12793 Bloodborne is the best of all 6 FromSoft souls engine games, maybe the best single player game ever made.
It’s such a good port. Wish 2 was ported. I’ve got 3 on pc and the rest of the roster on all consoles
Also portable kills
2:06 we get blessed with the most epic BUT ever
To be honest I much preferred the original lighting, the high contrast made it much more climactic. Shame that the game sounds so horrible on Switch
They can't keep cinematic contrast if they ditched cinematic frame-rate!
the sound isn't even noticeable just play and have fun.
You really don’t notice the sound after playing for 5 minutes
Truthseeker1995 nice one
@HardMan it's not bad at all I didn't even notice it. People are just crybabies
Thanks for another quality analysis. You guys really are in a league of your own for this kind of info.
This is a port instead of remastered
Its not port of the remaster
Well the remastered looked pretty awefull with its new lighting and blurry textures
Thats a good thing. The remasters suck!
It doesn't matter because it's still good, but they should not call it a remaster if sound and effects are heavily downgraded like that
obvious troll is obvious.
Sheesh, the poison in the comments section..
Yeah I know, seriously some of these Sony Soy boys have the persistence to somehow reply to every single damn Pro Nintendo comment here. People say PC gamers are toxic, but seriously Sony fan boys are worse.

@@TheMetalGaia DF Retro is where the comments section is civil tho
@@sixtyfour4947 Right but the other cults are like a utopia
I have been thoroughly enjoying playing this on my Switch. :)
If the audio was on par with the OG I'd be right on this port. Can't really justify it in it's current state unfortunately :(
I’m disappointed at the switch version. I don’t care much of the red or frames but my oh my does the audio and lack of response time make the game not enjoyable. Most of my deaths result in me having to struggle to move with the controller.
Or you're just trash
Colin Hendershott did you just call me Tubby?
Nobody calls me Tubby!!!
First complaint is valid. Second complaint is just a git gud. I've played this game with a non-functioning R-stick, and it holds.
@@blackbomber72 I’ve completed this series multiple times and even gave it to my nephew I think op is referring to joycon drift?
If im not mistaken, DS3 is 30FPS, so i dont mind DS1 being 30 fps. And to be able to fight bosses in the bus or breaks is a really nice plus. My real annoyance is the controls of A and B being reversed. It confuses me a lot for the reasons mentioned by DF.
OH WOW. The fire effects are terrible on the switch! What happened????
Audio and sounds are horribles!!!
It really is and that's a dealbreaker for me, dark souls should NOT sound like a 240p youtube video but hey, bandai namco are cheap and wanted this on a 4 gig cart so..compre....wait no this isn't even compression, this is just throwing all the sounds into audacity and lowering the sample rate a bitcrushing them to hell in order to make them smaller
@@Draggobuttboi Its not even a compression thing or wanting o get them smaller. Its practically the same game as the 360 version with the same file size. I want to.know how its possible that the quality got compromised for the same game at the same size.
The video and graphics are horribles!!!!
I personally have put hundreds & hundreds of hours across all platforms and did not like the remastered on PS4 & Xbox one and since playing it on my Switch it is how I remembered on PS3 & 360 which I prefer and doesn’t look plastic like on PS4 & XB1 ... that’s just my opinion.
You're delusional....remastered its the best version
i also prefer the look of the original, the improvments of the other versions, in this case, the lighting changes, is something i hate, armors look dull in comparison with the original. This is why i waited the switch version, instead of getting it on pc or ps4
te11ta1eheart
Waited for the switch version, because I played the network test on Xbox One..
The world did look nice, but the armour was dull and flat..
Currently playing the switch version and it feels like how I remembered..
Without such severe frame drops and the portability is just the cherry on top.. ^^
I prefer the original lighting of the game,it fits the artistic design,I own the PS4 version and played it on my pro,taking a 7-8 year old game and putting in different graphical effects that it wasn't designed for can make a game look worse,even the light your character generates to add atmosphere is nerfed to shit on the other systems
Switch is Ps3 on steroids power wise.
It's funny how people are forgetting that Switch is first and foremost a handheld console and that handheld consoles have historically being one or two gens behind in power ever since the Gameboy. It's a "hybrid" system but at its core is factually a handheld that requires an add-on to play on a TV.
@Peter Connell it is marketed as such but is still technically a handheld - after all, all the hardware is inside the "portable" itself, the system uses mobile Tegra hardware (ARM tech) for low power consumption and effeciency and has a form factor small enough to fit in your hand. You still gonna tell me it's not a handheld? Ok
Sterman99
well, it doesn't.
It's been going on for years, people here will never get it.
??? Nintendo themselves has said the that although the portable and docked modes are used almost equally in most households, it is primarily a home console. Nintendo's idea of a handheld would be the 3DS.
If it were a handheld i would never use it. My switch has been since launch, and always will be, docked. Darksouls with a 3hr battery life...lmao
I hate to be that guy but I really do not care for the lower graphical settings. If the game maintains a clean image with good resolution, as well as a stable framerate then I am happy. Animated grass I would not notice on a normal playthrough and the lighting is down to preference. The other effects whilst nice aren't really deal breakers either. I think it's a perfectly fine port for the Switch.
Yea people are too fixed on resolution count. The og game looked and ran worse and yet people got over it quickly. The Switch at least has a reason to exist over the Xbox One and PS4.
Yeah true. Though the sound quality is an interesting qwerk.
The disappointing thing for me is the audio. Graphics or whatever, it sticks to 30fps enough but u are gonna hear the low quality audio throughout.
You want to say "do not really care /about/"... Do not really care /for/ means you don't like lower graphics.
I don’t blame you.
I wonder what's up with the audio quality. It sounds as if it was re-recorded in a lower quality mic. I'd guess compression but that doesn't match the file size... it's not a deal breaker but hope it gets patched.
At least in the Switch version the armor looks like metal. PS4's plastic armor looks like shit.
I got this a few years back on PC and put in so much time on it. However I never beat it. I quit playing for a while and eventually they announced the Switch version so I decided to stop playing my PC version and wait for it on Switch. It's not perfect (and not 60fps) but it still runs great. Barely notice frame drops (although I know it happens slightly from time to time), and it looks just as good as my PC version did, without the goofy bad porting issues the original PC version had. I love it, and I'll be finishing this game finally on my Switch. :)
This is an amazing experience on the switch
Ive been playing elden ring (the first souls game that has truly clicked with me) and now I want to play this one lol
Lazy. The Switch is a lot more powerful than the Xbox 360. The *Wii U* was, even. I'm not expecting parity with the PS4 or anything here, but I do expect more than what the Xbox 360 had a decade ago.
I'd say the 1080p resolution and the much better performance qualifies as "more", even if a couple effects are downgraded. The problem is the Switch has a lack of bandwidth, even compared to the Xbox 360. Hence the alpha effects aren't as good.
Honestly, the degraded sound quality really isn't a big deal.
Did they ever fix it with a patch? I have it on ps4 anyways but itd be dope to have it on switch. Id only buy it if the audio was fixed though
Soo.... Original lighting which is good!
But shitty audio with no option to download a patch....
Would it be possible to get 2 on the Switch? I always felt 2 didnt really do a lot with shadow but idk how taxing those effects are on game design and all that.
2 and 3 can be ported but nobody's gonna do it😢
To anyone who plays on Switch on docked mode, I highly recommend getting a pro controller. I played through the whole game with the Joy Cons, which are a little too tiny for my big ape hands to begin with, but when they start to *drift* then it's an extra layer of difficulty.
I had a strong feeling when I bought the game on switch that I should not play with my joy cons because this game is taxing. Mainly play in handheld but I’m already actively trying to get more joycons just in case drift occurs after a while. Good to know that you’ve already lived through it and recommend getting a pro! Thanks for the heads up, might borrow my friends pro controller now! :)
Really I think there's a lot of trade offs going on between the Switch version and the Xbox ONE/PS4/PC versions, and how you view it depends on your personal opinions. On one hand, yes the PS4/Xbox ONE/PC versions have moving grass/leaves and new fog textures and so on. But the lighting seems off (at least it does to me), the texture on the Knight Helmet on PS4 (shown in a side by side in this video with the Switch version) looks awful if you ask me, and over all the Remastered version on other consoles just doesn't seem to carry the same charm as the original versions. Then you have that the Switch version is portable, to some this is a huge draw for the game.
Personally, I like the way the Switch version looks. It retains much of the charm/lighting/tone/atmosphere of the original yet cleans it up just enough to improve the experience. Meanwhile the other versions of Dark Souls Remastered completely lose that charm, change the lighting effects making it look odd, and down grading some of the detail in things like the Knight Helmet to make it look more "smooth". I'd much rather have a portable version of the original release than something that makes tons of changes. Do I wish we got moving leaves on Switch? Eh, I guess it would be nice, but it's not a make or break for me. This is one of my top 5 favorite games, so for me taking this on the go and retaining much of what I loved about the original is never a bad thing in my opinion. But I can definitely see why some people would want the other versions.
This game will make sales and repairs of the switch skyrocket. And if you are lucky you might catch one flying out of the window.
You complained about lens flare? Come on guys.. I personally think lens flare is shit i dont want to be reminded im actually a camera following a person.. Honestly this port or remaster on the switch i would be fine with it just wish the switch had a better internal gpu like it would be great if they made a new switch that was slightly better performance wise so we had less of this dynamic resolution bs while docked. Nintendo do have some fantastic looking games and the visuals just get ruined a lot of the time imo one of the main reasons why i like having emulators. They tend to clear up the image and make it look better. I know games arent all about graphics but lets face it, graphics going crappy quality and pixelated is an eyesore and it makes it harder to enjoy the games art. Windwaker and its HD version is a good example
It is an effect that is meant to be there and sad when it is just absent for some strange reason.
the comment section to these videos are always toxic.
Otacon!
fire effects are horrible on switch version
I bet you didn't even notice until they pointed it out.
Alpha transparencies seem to be Switchs achilles heel. Probably a big 0oblem for Japanese devs. I think Bayonetta had the same kinds of.problems and that's probably gonna make something like Dark Souls 3 really difficult to.port.
Yeahh I'm extremely disappointed by them. The Wyvern's chunky fire blur wouldn't look out of place on N64
Welcome to the Potato Switch world LOL
@@shinbakihanma2749 boi did you watch the video
love this on my switch, I had no idea this came out until this year in May. I have been playing an hour or so on the go a day. So worth it if anyone has a switch and loves DS
Dark souls ad before this video for switch
The reason I love Switch version more there’s one extra feature that all other versions don’t have is amiibo support and has it’s very own amiibo figure
Game is awesome looks epic on portable mode 😎
900p on a 2011 game.
Lol. What an underpowered piece of shit.
Dark Souls Remastered for Switch in a nutshell:
- This is actually not Dark Souls Remastered, but a port of the Xbox 360 version of Dark Souls.
- While resolution and performance are better now, the special effects and sound quality are downgraded.
- Overall performance is better, but there are still frame rate drops and the game still has inconsistant frame pacing.
This "remaster" is really disappointing when it comes to graphics, performance and sound. The graphics should have been better, the sound quality should have been the same and the performance should have been a locked 30 FPS without frame pacing issues. This release is beyond lazy. Shame on you, Bandai Namco.
You can say that for every DS Remastered port, nothing new. At least you had the ignorance to say that it's Bandai Namco and not QLOC. Not a lot of people can read these days. Will keep me amused for a while.
When the remaster came out, people complained that it changed the artstyle too much and that it looked worse than the original game despite the more advanced shaders. Now the Switch version looks essentially identical to the last-gen version, and people are saying that they wanted it to look like the remaster? Even though they hated the remaster?
It will be a failure anyway, Why release a game like Dark Souls on a childrens console
I sincerely doubt they care that much tbh. I think they already have an idea of how this should sell on a Ninte do platform and gave it the exact amount of attention as per their projected sales. BN feels no shame in their game.Another port knocked out, another set of coins grabbed, moving on.
Im just happy to play one of my all time favorite games on the go! And glad its higher res'd than the 360.
How the fuck did they think *that* audio quality was passable in QA? Also, missing sound effects? It took them this long to release such an unfinished port? Sure performance is fine but how the FUCK did they make the audio quality WORSE than the original in a "remastered" version?
The switch version isn't the graphically superior version by any means, but they nailed it when it comes to seamlessly switching from console to handheld . The slightly lower handheld resolution of 720p looks about the same on the smaller screen and the frame rate is a solid 30 fps so it feels the same as the console . Very well done .
@@snake2106well it's not as cool as your grandpa box . you can read the emails so good . play your games on a board bigger than screen that doesn't control for shit . I'd rather read a fucking book dude .
@@snake2106 lol no you don't ...there is no playable Switch emulator. The Wii U emulator works and does it anywhere from piss poor to better than original depending on your graphics solution, but that's not a Switch . Your not the only one with a PC dipshit . Just a guy who lacks options .

I think all the visual "upgrades" on the PS4 and Xbone look worse and make the game look like plastic.
Good stuff. I'm glad handhelds are getting so good looking. It brings me back to being a kid and always wanting open worlds and such in the palm of my hand. But in reality what made me enjoy handhelds and their limited graphics was the imagination filling the rest in. This inbetween is impressive, but it ends up leaving me feeling disappointed and uninterested.
The Switch version isn't the same as last gen. Blightown has a playable fps.
Now we just need a Demon Souls remaster.
This aged well
Remake 🙂 not remastered.
@@yanceyboyz Well they did 'em one better, the prediction still stands.
I can’t be the only one who didn’t notice the sound issues. I even had someone over to play it who has sank 200 hours in the 360 version and they never even noticed it. It’s obvious when playing back to back but it’s hardly distracting in game
I am really impressed by the Switch, the ability to play games like this on the go, while driving car and having a bottle of Scotch at the same time, it is taxing on my own CPU.
I just don't understand the compressed audio. Even if the game was 7 gb it could still fit on a cartridge easily. Maybe they did it to save from having to buy more expensive cartridges though, quite the bummer.
This looks just like the original lmao
@Lain truee
Jay Rich It's even worse in some cases... The dragon fire and Quelaag's lava, namely.
Which isn't bad for a handheld from 2017.
The remaster changes are objectively worse besides 60 fps.
It's ironic that the NS port is the only one that stays faithful to the original aesthetics.
Por que no todos los juegos pueden tener unos ports tan increíbles como este y ya me imagino como se debe de ver en la switch oled
You guys went above & beyond trying to justify the audio compression. It is completely unacceptable, and was a boneheaded choice by Namco. People that bought the physical version that came on an 8GB gamecard that was about half empty got screwed in particular. Publishers going out of their way to overly appease gamers that go download-only are shooting themselves in the foot, if you go download-only you can logically expect to need a sizable memory card.
Not only did Namco choose to piss all over people that bought physical, AND people that choose DL only and make sure to have a decent memory card; but the experience is neutered for EVERYONE because of it. The complaints from a few entitled people that are strictly download-only and refuse to buy a good memory card would be way less than the complaints from everyone else.
There is an easy fix for this, and hopefully they do it though: Just release a free optional DLC patch on the eShop with the full audio.
Is it seriously on a 8 GB card? That makes this whole thing even dumber, i thought they compressed the audio so they can squeeze it on a 4 GB cardridge. If this is true, then they wasted money on manufacturing and made an overall worse game in the process, it can't get dumber than that.
The best way to play this game still is the PC PTDE with some mods. Original lighting, 60 fps, and let’s you have texture upgrades not on the switch version.
No shit sherlock, pc crowd really cant keep it in their pants
The fact that this doesn't have the terrible "remastered" visuals is actually it's biggest selling point. Seeing as they took the original Dark Souls off the Steam store, this is now the best way to experience the game out of all the options currently on the market.
No it isn't lol...some different lighting does not make up for worse resolution and 30fps ... 60fps alone is a reason to get it on the other platforms
Luke Mezzatesta Did you not hear that the Switch version runs at 1080p?
@@BigLukeyBoi the original was 30fps...
Better play Xbox360 or PS3 version than Switch.
Even PC version with 30 fps is better, but 30 fps is really bad for this game.
Tanoo That’s what a graphics hog would say.
new game for the 4th time, 70 hours in.. and get a boar helmet and black knight sword.. this game is truly masterpiece
So this is Xbox 360/PS3 version and not the true remastered PS4/PC and Xbox one version. Thanks DF
I think it was known
Hahahahahahaha "to tell us the truth"
Rise your hands and praise your lord because DF is here!!!!!
This guys are very funny xD
When you have other websites like IGN lying about this being a true remastered. I respect Digital Foundry to keep it honest.
@@DrDoomFate but digital foundry meant it in a positive way xD Not negative. Because of how terrible the remaster looks on the other system with that lightning that makes everything look like it was made out of plastic. The most important points are fixed: resolution & framerate. also the textures got a big overhaul.
3.9 gb? I hate how cheap these devs are. The 8gb cartridges cost the same as standard blurays for the other consoles. The smaller carts are there for smaller games, not to overly cut and compress larger games.
3.9GB is the size of dark souls originally on the ps3/360/pc, so they didnt even need to compress the game.
This isn't the original dark souls file and has some obviously compressed stuff.
Nintendo... A decade behind the curve
As always...
But b-but.....AMIIBO SUPPORT = GOTY = SWITCH IS BEST VERSION
Switch is the best console.
Oh, wait...
.......said no one ever
Load¡ng How about you go look that up?
Load¡ng for me it is
In other words I'll stick to my PS3/360 version.
The paired back alpha effects make sense. The 360 and ps3 versions would chug whenever fire effects were on-screen.
I recall the battle with siff running at like 15fps at points. I'd say it's more of an optimization than a downgrade
Btw, 4 years later, it's "pared back" not "paired back" :)
shouldn't have compressed audio
even 10GB file size would have been fine
Nintendo: the place where a missing piece is a feature.
Nice
technically the ps4 and xbox versions of the game are missing a feature that the Switch has, the ability to take it on the go.
This port actually sucks. The Switch has proven itself to be quite a bit above 7th gen systems, and this is *not* an example of that at all. The only part of this that's better is the resolution
..and the framerate.
Y'all are talking about the flaws, i'm just happy I can play dark souls on the go 😖😂
There's better on the go options though, any laptop or even the GPD win 2 runs this better, and not everyone plays on the go.
Jay Rich
It's been really good so far..
Just been taking my time..
Aside from the audio and frame rate at times, it's a really solid game so far..
@@heisenbergwhite00 not any laptop for $300 and that's what some people got the switch for is portable gaming and too play the newest titles
@@heisenbergwhite00 gpd win 2 is $800 with shit specs, might as well get a gaming laptop at that point
@@TheFirestriker101 a laptop for $300 will have no problem running an old ass game like Dark souls better than a switch.
I`m starting to see why there was no BC X Enhanced support for this title.. It would have produced near similar results to the remaster, along with being free.
Should have just hired Panic Button to port the PS4 version
Agree.
Honestly the visual on switch for the original faithfulness is perfect besides alpha fx
I feel like like they may have been able to crank more out of it, especially those fire effects on the boss, and the dragon? Didn't seem like the normal textures would make it drop that much, but what do I know? it looks like a solid port. Might be a fun game to pick up when I get my switch. I have never played the first Dark Souls anyway.
Realy ggod resolved to run on a portable device!
But I hope they patching in a option to change the menu button layout (reverse A and B again).
It is so confusing every time you start the game after a break.
Well sound doesn't bother me much and it looks fine in my opinion. I bought this version so I can play it on the go and it accomplishes that nicely.
Given that the remaster didn’t really add much of anything in terms of visuals, since it pretty much just looks like the original but upscaled on a PC for PS4 and Xbox, Switch is a great look. Just wished the audio wouldn’t have changed and maybe just maybe hit 60fps
Ok listening to the audio it sounds like it’s coming out of my 3DS wow

I personally really enjoy it.. ^^
PC MASTERBATER The GPD Win 2 is also more than twice as expensive as the Switch while not being significantly more powerful.
@@alexandrite2221 the initial investment of the GPD win 2 is expensive but in the long Run the GPD win is cheaper...since it has free online multiplayer and way way WAY! Cheaper games....I bought Doom and Dark souls on PC for $5.99 each... how much are they on the switch?...$60??? I just saved a bunch of money you can't do that on the switch, also don't forget the millions of things the GPD win 2 can do that the switch can't....It can play any emulators, every Nintendo game up the Wii U....yes even zelda botw runs on it, it has unlimited apps, Netflix, bluetooth, proper voice chat, local save data exports, free Cloud saves, you can play your music while you game, true keyboard and mouse support, you can edit videos plus 100000 million things more the switch can't, you get what you pay for.
That's why I love the Nintendo switch! It's definitely console level graphics in the palm of your hands!!!!!!!!!!!.....…..
Sure. 10 year-old console, but yeah.
Maaan i wish i could afford a Nintendo Switch...
Nah, it's useless piece of shit.
No you don't its over rated as fuck. If it was $225 then its worth it but its too expensive considering Nintendo never does any game sakes they're always over priced as fuck. Mario kart 8 still $60 and never goes on sale after 3 years.
I highly recommend it. I've been enjoying it a lot ever since I bought it over a year ago.
Robert Presti because the game retains its value, and it sells out regardless of the price or time.
@@shinbakihanma2749 man, I must admit, you Sony shitheads are really persistent with taking a dump on other consoles. And people say PC gamers are bad with insulting other consoles. Hell, Sony soy boys are worse.
Lack of Motion Blur for me is the biggest disapointement
no RTX, not buying
*no one cares about you*
@@GM-xk1nw or you
MrKennethAKJ what about me? Does someone care about me?
How is RTX even related to this? Do you feel the need to shoehorn a irrelevant tech just because you were suckered in buying an overpriced yet marginally better GPU?
Vaibhav Shah I think he was ironic
Switch Master Race.
This makes me want Sony should release a new PSP & make a Bloodborne on-the-go game for it!😩
Rip this man for his never to be true; broken dreams.
It’s called a laptop with PlayStation Now. There’s your portable Bloodborne, which doubles as a PC port.
PissedOffDragon Yeah, i'd like to play bloodborne with streaming compression and unescapable latency.
If I remember correctly, you can remote play Bloodborne on the vita.
why is the audio so fucked for the switch version
I prefer the lighting in the 360 and Switch version overall
How does a console released in 2017 have missing visual features of a console released 12 years prior? *LOL*
Wow, some of shin baki hanma comments are just too toxic to handle, smh -_-
That guy is a troll.
I know, and i hated it.
That Guy
I seen him run around the comment section..
Another one is Madd Finn Tech or something, Lunar Sprite and there might be one here named XBOX RULES, I seen him on alot of dark souls switch videos..
That bum seems to have a vendetta against Nintendo and has nothing better to do with his time.
yeah i noticed that...is that Tim Cook in disguise or what? XD
I’m glad that I did not buy this game, seems like a port, not a remaster
Incredible how many children watch this channel and leave comments.
