Massive Dark Souls mod restores Oscar and Shiva’s quests in latest update

A massive Dark Souls mod has just received its latest update. Prepare to Die Again is billed as a massive expansion to the original game, and while there’s plenty of new content on offer, the mod’s creator says their aim to “remain true to the original story and the spirit of the game.”

Prepare to Die Again seems like it’s the perfect fit for players who want to experience Dark Souls all over again. The mod offers altered starting classes with new starting gifts, as well as an entirely new character. There are also altered bosses, many of which will now use new projectiles or attack patterns with different timings.

If a clean slate doesn’t sound like enough of a challenge, the mod features additional challenge items to make the game even less forgiving than it was before. To help out, however, there’ll be new weapons (based on cut content from the original game) and new spells and rings to tweak your new playthrough even further if you’re prepared to explore.

Overall, the mod’s creator, FTRichter, says they’ve rebalanced more than a thousand in-game items, and have also entirely rebuilt the game’s bow and crossbow systems. Those will now scale with strength and dexterity, and feature improved animations and multiple ammo types.

If you’re a lore buff, you’ve also been catered to, as there’ll be new enemies and more scattered across Lordran, as well as new item descriptions and “lore-friendly” stories to help bring the world to life. Bosses have been reimagined around cut content, and Oscar, Shiva, and Artorias have all undergone changes.

You can download Prepare to Die Again from Nexusmods, and FTRichter has offered walkthroughs to get the mod working with both the original Prepare to Die edition and Dark Souls: Remastered. The trailer above suggests that the mod is in relatively good health, but FTRichter says there’s at least one more major update planned – which should mean you’ve got time to finish of Sekiro before the final version of the mod is released.

Ali rejoices in being the youngest member of the editorial team, and takes pleasure in reminding his elders that some of their favourite games were released before he was even born. In keeping with this youthful demeanor, he plays a LOT of Fortnite, which is preventing him from finally finishing The Witcher 3.

Le modeur explique que pour réaliser sa correction graphique du jeu, la tâche n’a pas été simple. Les paramètres permettant de contrôler la lumière dans le jeu sont d’après lui assez mal structurés et parfois un peu trop réutilisés. Dans certains cas l’éclairage d’une zone n’affecte pas seulement la zone en question, mais aussi tous les objets qui y sont présents (ce qui a pour résultat un éclairage pas toujours très réaliste).

Vidéo : Un mod pour corriger Dark Souls Remastered Edition

Sborges98, de la communauté NexusMods, propose un nouveau mod pour Dark Souls Remastered Edition. Comme on peut le voir sur la vidéo, le modeur propose une correction complète de l’aspect visuel du jeu avec un éclairage plus sensé, des ombres mieux projetées, des effets de fumée et de brouillard retravaillés et des couleurs plus réalistes. Dark Souls Visual Overhaul est disponible en téléchargement libre sur NexusMods.

Un Dark Souls Remastered trop bâclé ?

Le modeur explique que pour réaliser sa correction graphique du jeu, la tâche n’a pas été simple. Les paramètres permettant de contrôler la lumière dans le jeu sont d’après lui assez mal structurés et parfois un peu trop réutilisés. Dans certains cas l’éclairage d’une zone n’affecte pas seulement la zone en question, mais aussi tous les objets qui y sont présents (ce qui a pour résultat un éclairage pas toujours très réaliste).

Durant plusieurs mois, Sborges98 a donc retravaillé chacune des zones une par une, en enregistrant et comparant ses modifications. Il est finalement parvenu à un résultat qu’il ne juge pas parfait, mais beaucoup mieux équilibré que l’aspect original de Dark Souls Remastered Edition, beaucoup trop bâclé par les développeurs selon lui.

Nightfall promises “a new story, new combat system, new world map, and more.”

The creator of the well-known Daughters of Ash mod for Dark Souls is back with an even bigger and bolder project, one that’s being made with a group, and they’ve released an 18-minute gameplay preview. The project, Dark Souls: Nightfall, is a “direct sequel” that begins with a leap of faith into the Kiln of the First Flame, right where Gwyn was slain by the Chosen Undead in the original ending.

Nightfall promises “a new story, new combat system, new world map, and more.”

To unpack that a bit, the assets in this mod aren’t all-new, but the creators and collaborators – Grimrukh, AinTunez, Meowmaritu, horkrux, Dane Brennand, wulf2k, Souv, ZullieTheWitch, Itzli, and Martin Billany – are doing everything they can to make Nightfall feel distinct and fresh for fans.

That includes story-motivated gameplay mechanics (like a crazy-looking dodge), voiced NPCs, “faster-paced” combat, enemies that were retextured and given “heavily modified animations,” and a world that’s partially Lordran as we know it and partially new zones built from “existing map pieces.”

The preview footage demonstrates all of those elements. Aside from the Blistering Demon and the potential for other challenging boss fights to try and work out, I’m most intrigued by the time-altering properties of Gwyn’s Pendant, a “locket containing remnants of the First Flame.” At the beginning of Nightfall, a text prompt says that “twelve cinders remain”; roughly ten minutes later, another message ominously warns that eleven are left, and the player uses Gwyn’s Pendant to go back in time.

Preview of Dark Souls: Nightfall is finally landing this weekend! It’s a video of me playing through the game up to the first boss.

Until then, here’s a separate demo of the time-of-day system I’ve been working on. Watch the sun set (and unset) over Lordran in real time! pic.twitter.com/wPgpPebfQ2

The pendant’s item description suggests that “only the [player’s] memories and special possessions” will make the trip back, which fans have already latched onto. They’re speculating about a time-based hook in Nightfall not unlike Majora’s Mask. That would be quite the melding of the minds, if true.

Nightfall doesn’t have a release date, but you’ll be able to play it with a copy of Dark Souls: Remastered.

This mod is proof that a game doesn’t have to be changed much in order to feel fresh, especially to seasoned players of that particular game.

8 DSR 2020 Textures

Nothing makes a game that you haven’t played for a while feel fresher than a new coat of detailed textures. This is precisely what this mod created by Evelyn Schwab does — it takes the textures already in the remastered version and upscales them, as well as mixes them with handmade ones to make the game look a lot more pleasing to look at, even if it’s the Asylum demon that you’re looking at.

Give your game a fresh look with this mod so that you too could appreciate the grimy beauty of the world of Dark Souls just a little bit easier.

Для Dark Souls Remastered вышел масштабный мод, который полностью меняет мир игры

Модификация Prepare to Die Again для Dark Souls, которая меняет мир игры и возвращает «опыт первого знакомства», получила новую версию, а вместе с ней и совместимость с Dark Souls Remastered. Мод меняет точки появления монстров, механики битвы с боссами, расположение трупов с душами и множество других деталей.

Модификация Prepare to Die Again посвящена тем игрокам, которым уже надоела оригинальная Dark Souls, ведь благодаря ей в уже знакомом мире меняется практически всё. Сначала мод просто «перемешивал» расположение монстров, но со временем изменения стали намного масштабнее.

Коротко об изменениях, которые появляются с Prepare to Die Again:

• Новые враги, которых не существует в оригинале;
• Несколько новых наборов брони, вырезанных из игры;
• У боссов появились новые удары и механики;
• Новые заклинания и кольца;
• Начальные классы были полностью переработаны;
• Все костры, трупы и сундуки с сокровищами были перемещены;
• Все враги начали появляться в других местах.

Таким образом, данный мод дает возможность увидеть Dark Souls с иной стороны. Больше всего она понравится тем игрокам, которые уже заучили расположение всех монстров и предметов в оригинале.

Скачать Prepare to Die Again можно на сайте NexusMods. Там можно найти версию не только для ремастера, но и для обычной Dark Souls.
