Dark Souls Remastered

 
Dark Souls pixel art mod will have you picturing an alternate universe's 1990sNov 19, 2023 - VG247We might be decades on from pixel art being the dominant video game art style, but that won't stop some modders adding some of that flair into Dark Souls. People love a demake. It's just incredibly fun to imagine a world where Bloodborne was a PS1 game (or another where it received a kart racer). While Dark Souls might not be getting a full on demake, modder thegreatgramcracker has recently shared their Pixel Souls Demastered mod, which certainly adds a good amount of crunch to the original Dark Souls' cold world (thanks, Eurogamer). "Experience Dark Souls like you never have before, with fresh visuals all throughout the game!" reads the mod's description. "This mod changes all textures, icons, fonts, and visual effects into pixel art based on the original game textures. Additionally, the music and sound effects have been reduced in quality. Even the enemy and player equipment models have reduced fidelity! This should give the game a fun, somewhat cursed, 'retro' feel." You can check a trailer out for the mod above, and it honestly looks really great - Dark Souls just has the perfect environment for some low-resolution vibes, honestly.

One of gaming's newer genres that got it start with the 2009 release of FromSoftware's Demon's Souls, soulslikes are characterized by punishing stamina-based combat and a 'souls' system, wherein you lose an accrued currency gained from defeating enemies upon defeat. FromSoftware has gone on to release Game of the Year Award Winner after Game of the Year Award Winner with these mechanics, spawning more than a few copycats that take direct inspiration from their mega-hits. Some things remain the same across all soulslikes: patience in the face of repeated failure rewards you with progress through sprawling worlds - typically of a dark fantasy aesthetic - that are filled with 'bonfires' or other places of reprieve to rest at, not to mention an increasingly powerful character. And some things do not: many don't lean into both passive and active online play with other players. Here, we're looking at the best truly soulslike games you can play on your PC in 2023: those that capture the spirit of FromSoftware's pioneering classics. And even if Sony and FromSoftware haven't ported Bloodborne, the best soulslike, to PC yet, there's more than a few available to scratch that masochistic itch. Read the rest of the story...

Bloodborne, for instance, manages to remain recognisably and wonderfully itself when you turn it into some kind of PS1-style kart racer, and it's in no small part down to the talent of both the demaster's makers and FromSoft's art team. And hey, perhaps unsurprisingly, it turns out that applies to other games in the studio's catalogue too...

Elden Ring was one of the biggest launches in 2022, so it stands to reason that anything the studio releases afterwards will have a much larger audience potential. No one expects Armored Core 6 to do Elden Ring numbers, of course, but it's already beating every other game FromSoft released before Elden Ring - at least as far as Steam is concerned. The mech shooter, which launched yesterday, has been gradually climbing through Steam's list of most played games. At the time of writing this, the game has peaked at 150,959 concurrent players on Steam, according to SteamDB. That's up from a peak of just above 127,000 shortly after launch.

So if you're getting restless waiting for the Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree release date and want to dive into some classic Dark Souls with a friend, now's a perfect time.

I'm not sure why I liked Kelly Chambers so much. There's definitely more exciting characters in Mass Effect 2. She was just cool is all. They seemed so good together, her and my Shepherd, two straight-talking women on a ship full of neverending melodrama, quipping back and forth along the bridge. But I was trapped in a loveless relationship with the odiously boring Kaidan Alenko. So Kelly remained elusive: the steadfast second in command, a constant source of warmth, good sense and pragmatic kindness. Anyway, she melted. In fact, most of my crew died in that final mission, but Kelly was the first, melting down into flesh chowder in a giant frosted glass tube. Afterwards I read that the only way to save everyone was to max out your relationship stats, upgrade your ship to the nth degree, and hightail it over to the suicide mission the moment you can. Reader, that's exactly what I did. I went back to the start and put another 30 hours into that game, telling myself I was getting value for money. But in my heart of hearts I knew it was all for Kelly. Read more
