There have been rumors that FromSoftware could be working on a remaster for Dark Souls 3becoming the second game of Dark Souls series to get a remaster. Launched in 2016, Dark Souls 3 has been the end point of the story for a while, and the Dark Souls the series has not been touched since 2018 with the remaster of the first title. People have been calling for a return to Dark Souls series, with some calling for a fourth game in the series to bring it back in a big way.
Dark Souls 3 it was the most successful game in the series and feels like the culmination of everything FromSoftware learned from the series at that point. The game looked better than anything previously released by the studio, played better with Weapon Arts, and even has some of the best bosses in FromSoftware’s award-winning library. In terms of history, The game also acts as an excellent entry point into the Dark Souls serieswith the world closing in due to the constant Linking of Fire, but despite all its advantages, it is not a game that needs a remaster.
Forget the Remaster rumors, Dark Souls 3 is still great
And the current version would be much cheaper than a remaster
FromSoftware titles have always been known for prioritizing art direction over graphical fidelity. Outside of combat and rich but often confusing lore, Art direction is where FromSoftware games shine; however, this means that the games don’t seem to have evolved that much from a graphical perspective. There was a big leap, in graphic terms, from Dark Souls 2 to Transmitted by bloodbut there haven’t been any in the Soulsborne anthology since. Although it looks better, the difference in graphical fidelity between DS3 and the praised Elden Ring It’s not huge.
A big reason for this is that Dark Souls 3 it still looks great today, and while it can look very gray a lot of the time, its art direction really helps it age gracefully. Elden Ring it also prioritizes size over massively improving its graphics compared to previous titles, and that’s a worthwhile sacrifice given how much there is to explore in the Middle Lands. This all keeps Dark Souls 3 seems very datedand it can be played on PS5 with improved resolution and 60FPS, making it better than ever.
In terms of gameplay, DS3 still holds up well, although Elden Ring seems like a natural evolution of Dark Souls series; Where the game still shines over many other Soulsborne titles is its bosses. The Soul of Cinder, The Twin Princes, Sister Friede, and Slave Knight Gael are still some of the best boss fights FromSoftware has ever made, and these fights in particular are always worth coming back to. These aren’t the only big bosses in the game either, and the bosses of Elden Ring still be compared with the quality of DS3the hardest battles.
Bloodborne on PC needs FromSoft’s attention
Dark Souls 3 is probably the last game that needs a remaster
FromSoftware’s fan base has been asking Transmitted by blood to come to PC for years, and with the game turning ten next year, it looks like that might never happen. This could still come in the form of a remaster with 60FPS gameplay and some updated graphics, or the game could be complete, Demon Soulsremake style when the PS6 launches. Anyway, Transmitted by blood needs some love as very little has been done with the IP after the release of The Old Hunters DLC.
Even if FromSoftware can’t do anything with the Transmitted by blood IP, because it is owned by Sony, there are still other games that should be enjoyed DS3. Although it has already been remastered, a proper remake of DS1 wouldn’t be a bad idea considering the second half of the game drops massively in quality compared to the first semester, largely due to time and budgetary constraints. It would be amazing to do a remake where this part of the game was remade to match Miyazaki’s original vision.
Although Dark Souls 3 remastered will probably be more popular, even one DS2 remastering would be a better choice. DS2 It suffered from being in the transition between console generations and would definitely need a graphical update. Miyazaki did not direct DS2 too, and this could be a good way to try and improve the original game so that it fits in better with the rest of the series and addresses many of its criticisms. Many people like Dark Souls 2 and the game needs more attention from FromSoftware.
The Dark Souls series already had a perfect ending
Hopefully DS3 Remastered doesn’t mean Dark Souls 4
Similar to the recent Horizon Zero Dawn remaster, looks like a Dark Souls 3 remastering would be unnecessary unless it led to something else. As FromSoftware was far from Dark Souls series some time ago, having launched Sekiro, Elden Ring, and prominence of the mech genre Armored Core 6 since DS1 Remasteredrelease, this could mean that the studio is trying to look back at the Dark Souls series. ONE Dark Souls 3 remastering could mean Dark Souls 4 is in the works, but that would be a problem in itself.
Dark Souls 3 It’s already the perfect ending to the series.and it should be left that way, especially with the popularity of Elden Ring. Dark Souls 3The world is literally at the end, with time and space colliding due to the number of times Fire has been linked. The Ashen One will go to the end of time to fight Slave Knight Gael and use his blood to paint a whole new world. The only place the series can go is this new, painted world, and it would be difficult to have a new Dark Souls game without the Linking the Fire theme.
Ultimately, it seems like a Dark Souls 3 remastering is simply unnecessary when there are so many other titles that need more attention from FromSoftware. It’s now playable on almost every modern platform, it still looks great, plays well, and is the only game on the Dark Souls series that fulfilled Miyazaki’s entire vision. Compared to other titles that could use some redesign or that need to reach other platforms, Dark Souls 3 It simply doesn’t need a remaster.
