Check out some screenshots of Dark Souls Remastered, featuring some gameplay footage and some of the locations in the game:
Kotaku stated in a preview article on their website:
“I was able to sit down with Dark Souls Remastered for around an hour in total, starting from the beginning of the game but with some limitations on where we could and couldn’t explore. After reaching the initial Firelink Shrine we were shepherded up into the Undead Burg, and told not to progress further down that direction than the encounter with Solaire. I got the distinct impression this area was selected to avoid us rushing straight for some of the original game’s worst performing areas like Blighttown, or popping down to New Londo to check out that frame-killing shortcut ladder. The game was also running on the PS4 Pro, not a standard system.”
GamesRadar+ stated in a preview article on their website:
“For veterans, this is very important. It’s deeply true that the best video game remasters deliver their efforts invisibly, in order to present their games like your stupid, nostalgia-tinted brain remembers them being rather than how they actually were. Your nostalgia-brain is always wrong, which is why remasters are more necessary in games than in any other medium. It’s far too easy to lose the joy of a beloved old game by simply playing again and realising what a clunky-ass mess it is underneath all the warm, loving memories. And while the original Dark Souls is hardly Big Rigs, it is seven years old. And it wasn’t always the best optimised game at the time of its release. Blighttown. F***ing Blighttown. “
