Question about textures and lightning

[Anezka de Astora]

Can anyone confirm that textures, shadows and lightning looks worse than the original game with DSFIX? I've seen some screenshots and comparisons with the PS4 Pro 4K version and I don't like how the new textures looked (things like armour were less detailed and without its characteristic bright in plates, etc...)

Anyone? Thank you :)

Shows the differences between the original and remastered.
Looks like they messed up in Remastered when it comes to lighning.

Overall i'd say it certianly looks similar, but this one has some minor advantages and minor disadvantage with one exception. It runs @ 60fps, and for me with an aging rig doesn't drop any frames, which is a huge upgrade. That and it has TAA (and outside of graphics a metric ton of quality of life improvements).

It seems a bit different visually but nothing you will likely realy notice without comparing them side to side. If you like dark souls and want to play with an active community, now is probably the last horrah it will have, for $20 I think you'd be crazy to miss it.

That looks very cartoonish...
So it's confirmed. I've found some new comparisons:

No idea what this is but this is NOT what the game looks like. At all. Something is very wrong with your armor textures.

Generally it looks about the same as before. Most things look better, some a little worse. Most importantly though, it is very smooth and fluid. Make sure not to put the gamma values too high.

Edit: The main difference I've seen when it comes to lighting is that the light the character itself casts is noticably stronger in the Remastered edition, which sometimes looks better but sometimes worse as well. Depends on the surroundings.

The lighting is messed up in some areas for me. Lots of crushed blacks that weren't present in the original release, Blighttown is the worst when it comes to that.

I already got a refund. And no, nobody has been talking about black crush for weeks.

Gotta love it when people use low res screenshots to prove their point.

Yea, you need to do something about those textures, I think its on your end.

Meanwhile, I was looking at the nice scenery behind you.
