[K' Dash]

I mean, I've beaten tons of souls games, Elden Ring, etc, difficulty isn't an issue

 

[Mister Wolf]

I'm definitely in for 4, but I need to see more of this since I'm very familiar with 2 and they want $50 for it. That's the money I have reserved for Trails Through Daybreak 2.

 

[ManaByte]

I just filled the cup.

It's a legendary game. If you're up for a challenge there's a lot of love here. The gore makes it extra satisfying.

[RagnarokIV]

Someone @me once you download and try, is it based on Sigma or real NGII?

 

[GHG]

What's with the tag Koei have given the game on Steam?

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Im seeing it on the pc game pass app but there is only a link to the store and no download

it's not available on the xbox app, but you can download it via the ms store.

Well, fuck me I guess (my line got downgraded from 1Gbps to...100Mbps, oh well...

Anyway, is this only digital or will there be a physical version down the line ?

 

[Gonzito]

The game compiles shaders at launch although it was really fast, around one minute, and it has raytracing and DLSS

 

[Northeastmonk]

I just got a pro. I'd love to know how well it looks on PS5 Pro or if I need to just stick to my 360 disc.

It's based off Sigma, they lost the NGII source code.

Gotta bait zoomers into buying it.

We need some new terminology...this is not a full "remake" as it is still the same underlying game, only the visuals (textures,lighting ect) are redone and content from various projects added. It's not a whole new game like the RE Remakes. Perhaps we can call these "visual remake"?. Remaster should be used when even the visuals are still mostly the same just "enhanced" such as the last of us 2 remastered.

It's basically same s as Demon Souls and Shadow of the Colossus.

So the enemy count and placement is the same as Sigma 2? This is a bummer.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Pro enhanced…nice. Not paying £40 for it though lol

 

[MazingerDUDE]

See for yourself.

If you don't know what I'm talking about just enjoy the game

 

[Timberwolf25]

I have both NGII X360 and now NGB II on my HDD. I might have to do a back to black playthrough of both.
Why bother with the NG Collection when you can get the superior NGB, NGBII and hopefully a NGBIII in the future without ever having to mess with the shitty Sigma versions.

Don't really care about a NGBIII since I didn't finish the OG version of it.

 

[MMaRsu]

See for yourself.

Looks fucking awesome

[MMaRsu]

Ugh you're right. The enemies after the first group in the small corridor arent there

What the fuck is wrong with these guys

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

GamePass?

Just fired up my Pro to see if it was on the store. Never mind

This game will make your average Souls stan cry so bad.

This one has an easy mode though

 

[tomato shrub]

Today???!!!!! Where is the physical disc?,,,

I really don't like LRG, but I imagine that's the last hope for this... frankly, I might just download the digital version and double dip if it ever comes out on disc. But I can wait a bit for an official statement (and also on reviews).

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

I am curious as well, why is this bad?

Souls games don't deserve to sniff this game's shit.

Yup bought it immediately. $50 is nothing for this perfection on the Pro.

 

[MazingerDUDE]

The difference between Souls vs NG

Souls: When you go back after 1 year and start all over, you die exactly as many times as your first try

NG: When you go back after 10 years and start all over, you can still beat the game with both eyes closed

 

[Gonzito]

Man this looks incredible! Graphics are awesome
