It cost $39.99 on ps4, xbox, pc, and switch.

now here is the thing. if you buy it for switch you're paying full price for lower performance compared to the others. IJS, it should probably be cheaper.

This dont make any sense, buy your point, plenty of XB1 games would need to cost lower than PS4 games, all PS4 would need to cost lower than PC games, and 3rd party would need to have higher price for games that have better performance on PS4 Pro and Xbox X compared to PS4/XboxS.

Especially because with Switch version of game you getting two versions of game, full handheld version of game and full home console version of game, while with PS4/XB1 you just get home console version of game.

Depends on the quality of the port. 

If it's native 720p with a constant 30 fps and improved textures in HH mode then I'd say the Switch version. If it's just a port from last gen then I'd just skip it.

Its not just a port of last gen, its a remaster. We know its 1080p in docked mode and 720p in handheld mode.

I played Dark Souls inside and out. 2 1/2 complete play through with 100% Achievements. 

Amazing game but no desire to play through it again especially at $60. If I had to pick I'd say ps4 for the remastered version. I'm curious if the switch is more powerful than the 360/ps3 version I've already played.

Price is actualy $40.

I know I will. Remote Play has never let me down before.

Vita doesn't even have enough buttons to play most PS4 games adequately, not to mention that most places in the world don't have free wi-fi and if you're playing at home you might as well just play it on your TV.

Not to mention all the issues streaming has. There's a reason why the Vita and this feature hasn't taken off.

And as I've said, I've never had an issue with Remote Play. In fact, roughly 30% of my Platinum for Scholar of the First Sin was earned on the Vita via Remote Play. The most usage it's had is while I'm visiting family (roughly an hour away, and it's frequent enough that bringing my PS4 each time would be a hassle).

 

Also not stating that Remote Play on Vita would be better than standard play on Switch. But for those out there who adamantly refuse to buy Nintendo, portability isn't going to be a feature they necessarily have to forgo.

Same for me, remote play is a great feature, especially when you have a good mobile network (always in 4G/4G+ in my case).

 

"not to mention that most places in the world don't have free wi-fi 

We don't need a free wi-fi for a long time, thanks to the tethering on smartphone. 

"and if you're playing at home you might as well just play it on your TV."

Even Switch users are glad to play at home, elsewhere in the house than in front of the TV (in bed most of the time).

 

So, if I wanted to take DS, I could have 60 fps and portability with the same version ;-p



To be clear once again: Portability, and 30fps like previous souls games and Bloodborne.



Not a Dark Souls fan but, based on my track record, I'd buy a competent Switch version over a tricked out PS4/XBO version every time.

Persona 5 PS3 version should cost the same as the PS4 version? or Danganronpa v3 PS VITA version should cost the same as the PS4 version? They don't.

Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition is 10 dollars cheaper on Xbox One than PS4. I'm done, I quit.

Offcourse you are done, few examples dont 95% other games. And comparing Vita and PS4 game, is not like comparing Switch and PS4 game, because Switch offers full home console experience also while Vita offers only handheld.



Not sure to be honest.
On Switch i'd have the portability and it would make my Switch Collection bigger.
On PS4 it would sit next to Dark Souls 2, Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne in my collection.
Also, it depends on the price, if it starts at 60$ (80$ here in Canada) i won't buy it until it drops in price.
If it starts at an acceptable price for a remaster which would be 40$ USD or less then i might buy it day 1.



I love 60 fps! Argh!... Leaning towards portability...



I own a PS4 and a Switch, as well as all of the Souls games. Huge fan of the series. This is a tough one for me, though.

I already own Dark Souls on both PS3 and PC, and my PC version is modded to run in 60 FPS with 1080p. Buying the Switch version would probably be a down-grade for me. On the other hand, the Switch is my favorite console right now, and playing with the pro controller would be nice.

I will most likely buy the PC version when it comes out, but there's a possibility that I may get the Switch version as well at some point, depending on how well it's received.
