Popular Post devourerplease Posted November 25, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 25, 2014 The re-release includes all DLC, as well as new NPCs, better graphics, and "additional gameplay features and enhancements". Hopefully one of those enhancements includes getting rid of the Soul Memory system and having Soul Level dictate matchmaking instead. As many complaints as I have with DSII, I'd be willing to double dip to nab this on PS4. It's due out April 7, 2015, which is two weeks after Bloodborne is scheduled to release. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flop Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Well, time to trade in my PS3 version. I was just about to get all of the DLC this week, actually. But I guess I'll play through them once I get the PS4 version! I freaking love this game, so I won't mind having my lily ass kicked all over again!

Killua-ID Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Omg, YES!!! Would be cool, if From Software implemented addiotional trophies to the DLC this time, but I kinda doubt that, since Artoria of the Abyss hadn´t had any additional trophies either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrickenBiged Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Hmmm. Not sure how I feel about this one. Great game, but I've barely played it on PS3 as it is. Hmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrickenBiged Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 So no additional story content? Namco Bandai - or Bandai Namco if you're feeling saucy - has announced that From Software's Dark Souls 2 is heading to new-gen consoles next year. A new edition of the game called Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin will be released for PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One on 7th April. All five versions will include the original game as well as the three downloadable add-ons released earlier this year, and From Software has made some alterations along the way. The PC, PS4 and Xbox One versions will feature updated visuals, rebalanced gameplay, a higher maximum number of players in online games, additional and more challenging enemies, a new NPC to locate, 'expanded lore' and new in-game events. The PS3 and Xbox 360 versions won't have updated visuals and higher player counts online, by the sound of it, but everything else is in there, including the DLC packs and tweaked matchmaking. Existing owners - you know, those of us who bought it earlier this year and then forked out another big whack for all the DLC - can console ourselves with a free patch that rebalances the game and matchmaking and introduces the expanded story content. There's no immediate word on whether you can transfer your save progress between console generations, so why not just throw that 80-hour file in the bin and buy it again? Some guy who reviewed Dark Souls 2 for us earlier this year felt it fell a bit short of its illustrious predecessor but was still one of the best RPGs in a long time, thanks in large part to its intriguing and beautiful environments, fantastic combat and intricate systems. The three DLC packs were also rather good. Crown of the Sunken King sent you into the depths of a claustrophobic underground pyramid, before Crown of the Old Iron King scaled dizzying peaks and Crown of the Ivory King transported you to a frozen kingdom. Put together, then, Scholar of the First Sin is an unmistakably vast and impressive package, albeit another retro remake for a game that came out barely eight months ago. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-11-25-dark-souls-2-heading-to-ps4-and-xbox-one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razizo41 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 and I just bought it on ps3. What else is getting ported? should I 'knot' buy a game 'soul'ly because its cheaper on ps3? I'll see the reviews and gameplays then i'd decide if I want the Next-gen port, who knows, maybe you'll finally get those awesome visuals you saw in E3 when they first showed the game.

DK_Scuba Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Awesome been meaning to buy the DLC bu will probably wait now before spending $30 lol. Only downside is it comes out right after Bloodbourne so it may be on my shelf for some time before I enjoy it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Not really surprised this is happening, might even get it as long as the pricetag isn't that bad. Only thing i find really weird is how close to Bloodborne this release is, i doubt that'll help the sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrickenBiged Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 It does seem weird that they're releasing it at a time when it would compete with Bloodborne. Maybe Bloodborne isn't looking all that good and they want to have something on the shelves for Souls fans who don't get on with BB...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatCauthon Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I was just about to pick up a used copy. I will now wait for the PS4 version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Ookami Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 and I just bought it on ps3. What else is getting ported? Check IGN, PS3 section, check games that are 9/10 and above and there's a high chance of a game being ported. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razizo41 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Check IGN, PS3 section, check games that are 9/10 and above and there's a high chance of a game being ported. That means there's a chance for porting Persona 4 Arena Ultimax. O: I'd feel sad if they don't, then that would mean I missed on an opportunity to try an amazing game, the reason I didn't buy the first one is because of how everyone was saying the online is dead. (what's the point of a fighting game if I can't play it with other people) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DracoRagnarok Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 This is very good news for myself, I recently got into the Soul series and I am loving it. Although I agree this with the "Next-gen" being nothing but ports of old games but in some cases its fine. Will give the new owners of a PS4 a great experience I'm sure. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon-Archon Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I bought Dark Souls II a while back during a sale, but I'm not going to the the DLC. That way I'll have a lot of "new" content for the PS4 version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
