Dark Souls Remastered’s reveal is by far the worst we’ve seen in recent history and that’s because Bandai Namco is constantly changing crucial details about it. One of them was HDR for PS4. Initially, the publisher claimed that Sony’s console would support it but now there is no mention of such a thing. Naturally, this doesn’t really matter for us PC gamers, however, the next change that the publisher has done affects all previous owners of Dark Souls PC.
As we’ve reported earlier today, Bandai Namco’s official store page suggested that there would be a 50% discount to all PC owners of Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition. This information was coming directly from Bandai Namco’s official store. However, Bandai Namco is now claiming that there won’t be any discount for the PC version.
As both PCGamer and JeuxVideo reported, there won’t be any discount for Dark Souls Remastered PC. As such, Dark Souls Remastered will be priced at $39.99 on all platforms. Furthermore, Bandai Namco has removed the little “50% discount” asterisk from its store page.
From what we know so far, Dark Souls Remastered will feature 2K unconverted textures on the PC, native support for 4K and 60fps, will support up to six online players, and will come with all the DLCs that were released for the original game.
UPDATE:
Bandai Namco’s new community manager had this to say:
“Hi guys, Izmar here, new community manager for Bandai Namco EU. Nice to meet you all! I just wanted to step in very quickly and say that right now, we haven’t officially announced anything about the subject of a discount. I’m not sure who PCGamer’s source is, but it seems like they could be someone who isn’t in the loop about what’s going on”

“Denuvo does not come cheap, hence no discount for you PC gamers”
Denjewvo, i just been in this place before…

Reloaded is offering a 100% discount.
People who want to play SP games don’t need online features.
To bad that there is a way to play their games online even cracked, WHAT?
Typical pirate loser on this site
Typical h** filled with plastic 😉
Agreed. Could give 2 s**ts about multiplayer as well.
There will be discount for me…like in a year…on some sale for 5$.
I’m in no hurry to play this, and Bamco do not want my money then i won’t be forcing myself on them…
Why are you reposting this under another name?
Wait, what?! I’m only using this one disqus account, and have no reason to use another one and please show me that post.
Look up. Kujo. Word for word basically. Unless you’re getting trolled and didn’t notice.
Look at kujo profile, he often copies others comments.
.=KUJO=. just copied his post. Some people think it’s funny to do that I guess.
next news will be that the game will be somehow messed up again for pc again.

It’s have probably bought it for $20 if the port were decent, but no discount is just the being cheap. Bargain bin purchase now.
From the Steam discussion boards.

It’s been quite the PR shambles then. Their marketing needs to ‘git gud’.
Greedy clowns, there is no way i will pay full price for what is basically “Dark Souls + mods” but sadly a lot of idiots will and FROM will make big profit with this charade.

Supposedly there’s a new version of Denuvo now that hasn’t been cracked yet.
Since the first game with this new version appears to be Sonic Forces and that came out a while ago, that ship might take some time to sail.
I always think that if people can’t afford a game I’m ok with it being pirated, but I like to see these uncracked games just to shut these pathetic devs’ excuses “these filthy pirates are the reason we didn’t sell…. not our crappy game for sure!” – not Homefront devs….. to their dismay 😀
well i hope that the crackers like good games .
even if games like ASSASSIN’S CREED ORIGINS or NEED FOR SPEED PAYBACK or STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT II would be cracked i would not be playing them cuz they sh*t ,
+ its alredy on steam and they wanna sell if for 40 ?
Supposedly there’s not a single Souls game that has used Denuvo in the past. Denuvo had been around a good while and DS3, AFAIK, didn’t use it. Why would From use it now? One of the appeals of DS has always been the online features.
Bamco has been using Denuvo a lot lately and DRM is on the publisher usually.
I don’t see it happeing really. Their golden boy DS3 was denuvoless. Souls games have a very important online component, so I don’t think they’ll waste resources with a DRM that might enrage some of their customers.
hahahhahah keep crying filthy pirate
Jokes on you . I alredy play the game . For free.
It wasnt worht 39.99 the first time around imo.
Dark Souls: Prepare for the backslash edition
Why not just dl the 4k texture pack and call it good and save $40? It’s not like you’re purchasing something new or groundbreaking. There is nothing new here that warrants the price. Im talking about the pc version. Console version I could give a damn about.
Nothing screams ignorance more than when someone gives an opinion and another person follows up with garbage. I don’t know if you’re a child or just a grown man with so little going on in his life that he goes to gaming comment section’s to get attention. Pathetic. Here’s a novel idea, use those two eyes in your head and go to any article about this subject and take 5 mins of that precious time of yours and read. All info to this point reveals no new groundbreaking anything other than enhanced graphics and visuals. GG. If ya got anything else smartass to say maybe ya can go to the park and talk to the squirrels…they might care.
“The Dark Souls remaster, coming to all platforms on May 25, will include the downloadable add-on Artorias of the Abyss and feature improved resolution and other visual enhancements. Bandai Namco and developer From Software are also increasing the multiplayer count to a maximum of six players.”
Rebuilt from the ground up…yea ok. You can read right?
Oh well…I’ll get it in a sale then.
$40 for a remaster of a game released only 5 years ago on PC LMAO.
Yeah, it’s ridiculous. And the game doesn’t need a ‘remaster’ to begin with.
I will buy this full price IF they add the bonfire teleporting mechanic introduced in later games. Yeah, as someone who plays A LOT of Dark Souls, that is somehow worth $40 to me… Yeah. I know I’m a shill.
The game will NOT be using new, more detailed, models. There will be the same old models
So, now thousands of gamers bought the old version, just to be able to get the remastered one for 50% less. And they got conned! Is this how you do business, Bandamco? (or however you are called). I’m glad i was never interested in one of your games.
Well, if they weren’t actually planning on a discount, hopefully this will force them to issue one anyway in order to not look like a bunch of greedy buttholes. If you already own the original version, this should at most be a $20 upgrade.

If there turns out to be no discount, I understand it. Thousands of people bought the game on sale for pennies. Once they even screwed up the regional pricing in my country and it was available for less than two dollars for nearly half a day. People who didn’t get it full price shouldn’t really be demanding a discount.
It is going to have to offer a lot more than a HD texture pack to get people interested. Many have put hundreds and hundreds of hours into the title and now only play it once a year, if that.
Could you not fûckìng read sarcasm? We know they exist, like seriously… Someone here didn’t get sarcasm.
Nope, you’re the ignorant fool but keep amusing me.
Holy sh*t, using an autistic meme. Just lol.
Not desperate. It would just be really nice for the sheer amount I play.
When patches become a full price thing.
But this is Bamco we’re talking about.
