Kind of off topic but just throwing it out there: could the solaire amiibo imply the inclusion of solaire in ssb5?

I hope not because there's enough sword characters tbh (as much as I would LOVE that tho)

Oh I just realised I should relisten to bonfireside chat as I play.

I'm pretty excited, DS took up such a huge chunk of my time during a pretty rough part of my life. It'll be nice to go back to something that was kind of a therapy game for me.

Maybe they will have dedicated servers for PvP. You know, one placed in Japan and one placed in "the rest of the world" :downs:
Nah. I'm parroting saint_riot here and I'm sure it's not strictly true and creative ways can be found around this (ones that From won't find), but the fact that only the phantoms load, while the host stays in their own persistent world (as opposed to both the host and the phantoms loading into a separate server) means that it has to be P2P

Someone really has to tell the Fromsoft marketing team to stop using the phrase "dedicated servers for multiplayer," because the exact same misconception arose with DS3. I can only chalk it up to some weird translation issue.

Yes. The only way to end up without the DLC nowadays is if you pick it up the original version on 360 or PS3.

Demon's Souls is a Sony property like Bloodborne. If it ever gets a remaster, it'll be only for Sony consoles.

Please tell me, in contrast to goons_txt that a lot of you dont actually play games on the toilet. Anything beyond a phone game anyway. Gfs coworker is the most beta pile of odor and laziness I've ever seen, he was telling me the other day about how he has 3 PS4s, and a GC in his bathroom *shudders*

For some reason I had it in my head the remaster came out today, and got all excited when I saw the thread. Then I read the OP :negative:

So I'm sure this has been asked ad nauseum in the old DS thread, but is there 100% confirmation that From has done nothing to clean up some of the more unpolished endgame content? I would like for them to have at least done something with Bed of Chaos so it's not a broken borderline unplayable mess anymore.

Its not 100% confirmed, since no one is able to report on anything past like taurus demon, but given that that would be a big selling point and we haven't heard anything about it its pretty safe to say it ain't happening.

Unfortunate. Not unfortunate enough to stop me from dropping $20 on it though because DS1 with DS3's level of technical polish is going to rule.

Is From implementing the matchmaking restrictions from DS3? Cause if not there is gonna be a lot of salty people complaining about being invaded in the Burg by people with +5 lightning weapons.

I'll do this if they add network functionality to the emulator - I doubt that's on their first priority list though.

You have to hand it to them, they have a pretty good business model.

From: We will be remaking your favorite game.

Fans: Whoa, awesome! Are you going to fix Lost Izalith?

From: No, we will not.

Fans: That's bullshit! Here's my money by the way, I'll take two

If they can add a bonfire and change other mechanics, they can fix some other rare terrible blemishes that stood out compared to the rest of it. It's not like SoFTS was a "remake" either.

Ya it's mostly a remaster. They just changed a few bits(bonfire, online) and put higher res textures.

Sure, there's lots of stuff I wish they would've done too. I'm just saying that they never said that this was gonna be a remake and it's dumb to expect big changes like that. I mean hell, it's literally in the title. If they had advertised this as a remake of Dark Souls then sure, but it's literally just a remaster and any changes they've made is just icing on the cake.

it's crow time again

And if I recall, the remaster is getting handled by a different company than From, which is pretty typical for ports/remasters. (Off the top of my head, I know the Sly Cooper and Okami remasters and the original PS3 port of Bayonetta were done by companies other than the original devs.)
