Dark Souls III Runs Best on PS4 When it Comes to Consoles

Made for an interesting video, although the only visual difference that I could actually detect were the slightly jaggy shadows when standing still on the player character.

30fps

Why buy this game now? Shouldn't i wait for the inevitable Dark Souls 3 remaster on PS4.5? If we thought remasters were bad this gen already, just wait. We'll have the remastered remaster 4.5 editions of every.single.game.

Buy the time I get round to this I'll be playing it on VR cinema mode. Praise the sun.

@Bad-MuthaAdebisi You can say that again, there are SEVERAL games I am eagerly waiting to play on cinema mode, in fact that is probably how my psvr will be used the most. Even if we don't get a NMS VR edition, I will still happily it wearing the headset!

@Napples Won't be remasters. Both consoles will share the same library. If the rumour is even true in the first place.

@Swiket I hope you said the same thing in the ps3 - xbox 360 era. Ps3 was getting slaughtered for lower fps and resolution.

@stevie85 yeah they'll just be patched to run better on the PS4K.

@WebHead That's how I imagine it will work. It would be a very simple thing for devs to do.

Given Fromsoftware already worked on a PS4 game they could learn valuble lessons from, even if the xbox and playstation were of equal power I'd expect nothing less.

@stevie85 it was mostly a joke, but if the rumors are in fact true, this could happen. Companies would re-release game like, say Dark Souls 3, running at 60fps with enhanced graphics. They could literally do that with EVERY game, make a few graphical changes, up the fps, and boom, instant $60 remaster.

I love all the XBone peeps who paid for the newest console and then say graphics don't matter. Dude, then go through your backlog before buying a new system with better graphics. Hahaha.

I mean, I know there are other differences between one console gen and another but let's face it, it's always been "buy the new gen console, experience better graphics".

@Napples They could, but I don't think it would benefit them as it would probably cost more than they would take in from such a move. I caneed see developers using patches in order to update older games graphical capabilities. This would be much simpler and less time consuming.

@Bad-MuthaAdebisi I'm with you on that! PSVR cinema mode lovely... might even replay dark souls 2 again.

"Are you happy to hear that Dark Souls III performs as expected on PS4?"

Yes and no. Yes, it's a good thing it manages to maintain good specs. No because I'd rather have both consoles have the same game quality. It always kinda irritates me when one version of a game has a hard time running on one system.

@glassmusic Framerate is more important to me.

And the ragging on Quantum Break is hilarious.

'[insert every Multi-format game in here] Runs Best on PS4 When it Comes to Consoles'

@glassmusic Maybe for you. I don't care about graphics when it comes to consoles (because, let's be honest: a PS4 is really pitiful compared to a proper gaming PC). Rather, I buy new consoles for the exclusive games they get.

@Grawlog The ps4 has a stronger gpu than the x1, that makes the difference.

I'm still thinking about getting this game. My first FromSoftware game was Bloodborne, which I love and I'm still playing. I have a friend that will stream Dark Souls III when it's out, so I'll watch him play before I possibly buy it. So many good games coming out soon! How fun is that?
