I've never played Dark Souls before, so I am very much looking forward to this.

It's one of the best games I've ever played. The whole series is amazing.

But where's the Demon's Souls Remaster so we can have both of the best Souls games on PS4, BB and DeS.

They need to sort that out so that it becomes possible to play the entire series on PS4.

It's not hell, Sony just owns the IP so it's entirely up to them. Miyazaki said as much in an interview a couple years ago

Hmm, what have we here?
I started souls games when I got my PS4, so I loved all the ones available and never played 1.

Will it show excessive aging or will I love it? I mean 2 and BB were also PS3 level and those are still incredibly good remastered games.

DarkS1 is the good game and then the future ones started to get worse until Bloodborne.

It was the last one I played, the first 2/3rds are great then it turns to trash after that.

I remember about a year or so ago that From randomly tweeted this picture of all these copies of Bloodborne stacked together and at the very bottom was a copy of Demon's and since then I've been waiting for Demon's Remastered because God drat it From why would you tease me like that.

Bloodborne, the first PS4 exclusive to sell huge numbers of PS4s in its own right, is indeed PS3 level

I think Bloodborne for as widely as it is praised here has only sold like 3mil copies worldwide. Crash 'N Sane trilogy has probably moved more PS4 consoles.

That’ll teach me for writing a post before waking up fully. I just meant something along the lines of “dark souls is an older game, but they remastered BB and 2 really well, and they’re roughly from the same era.”

Plus refinement that may have come from making multiple entries. I liked 2 a lot but loved 3. It felt more polished.

I’ve also heard 1 is better than 2 anyways so I’m probably worried about nothing.

Visuals aside (it looks fantastic in some areas and like hot dogshit in others) DS1 is the best designed game even more than Bloodborne imo.

Bloodborne has nothing to do with the Dark Souls story, you can play it whenever.

If you play Dark Souls first and then Bloodborne, BB will seem really hard. If you play BB first and then DS, DS will seem really easy

Owl Inspector

Just play whatever's cheapest to see if you like the games. They're all pretty similar while none of them are clearly better than the rest in every way, so there's no right "order" to play them in and if you like one you'll probably like all of them. Everyone has their personal favorite though.

I think dark souls 1 is the easiest introduction, online notwithstanding (assuming they don't change how online works for the remaster)
