Some Comparisions

Early Build Version is on the Left Side and the Final Version is on the Right Side.

Who cares anymore Crowbcat?

Who cares?

loved the game. thought the graphics were good regardless.

That was shocking at the time, but I still prefer the final version... it's easier to see things and some textures, like the trees, look more pleasant to the eye.

But yeah, it took a BIG hit on lighting.

I kind of have to wonder if the graphics were really downgraded that much, or if they looked relatively similar in the E3 build and were just covered up by the lighting (or lackthereof).

Some of the early build pics actually look worse. Completely different lighting solution could have had more of an atmospheric impact though.

Some games age quite badly. This is one of them. Could be the quality of the pictures though. I never played the game to be fair.

Ah remember dark souls 2 on PS3 not as good as dark souls 1 only later on finished it on PC with a in hp and 1 hit kill trainer

It's a downgrade cus you can see stuff?

Few years late to care, isn't it?

I doubt anyone plays Dark Souls for graphis.
