Dark Souls in a new guise

The players can expect improvements throughout 60 FPSThe only exception here is the switch with 30 FPS and 4K resolution. When improving the frame rate, special focus is placed on known problem cases such as Blighttown placed. In the original version, Blighttown was a real nightmare and not only because of poison, darkness, spiders, mud and monsters etc. but mainly because of the FPS that reminded you of still images.

Players of the PC version did not have this particular problem, but only a fan patch ensured a better resolution and a general upgrade to 60 FPS.

However, these problems should be a thing of the past. Another feature will be the remastered version "Dedicated server" his. Which is huge news for PvP players.
