In the sake of SMB to SMW, that might ring true, only cuz comparatively, the level of both what's more added to the game and the gaming technology gap was wider. Which isn't the case in the Souls series at all thus far.
It always was an amazing, genre-defining, classick game. True, it didn't get it's proper recognition the first time out, most in part in cuz of its stark contrast to conventional gaming at the time and difficulty. Perfect reason for it to be revitalized here and now in the first place. We know you suspiciously don't care for remakes/remasters only when it's created by Sony tho and the roots of why that is. So all this stanning against them is
.
And also, who's pretending ya bish:
Imported bought practically day 1, fool.
No it really didn't need it. Considering the original wasn't as experienced, so the core experience of that should remain unchanged. This isn't FFVII where the game was made so long ago and massively played worldwide that its remake warrants drastic changes. And FromSoft improved on the formula cuz that's what sequels do. The core formula of the actual Souls games are pretty much the same. The new additions to each sequel are both to be expected and what makes each game stand out from each other, which is all the more reason that the original remains unchanged at its core. They also are rated among purists in varying order for that reason as well, so which is better is highly subjective. Good for you that you think its lowest ranking one (you also "suspiciously"
be saying the same slighted shyt about Bloodborne being the next "weakest in line and we all know why, fool
many feel that's actually Dark Souls 2, but whatever).
This is why I wrote all that shyt above, since you asked, cuz even with their to be expected extra polish and improvements with each new iteration, it's still very subjective if they're outright better or which ones are heralded as the favorite among them more than most series of games since each game all across FromSoft's post Souls creations all have their stellar and unique qualities about them, with Bloodborne and Sekiro being the ones most deviations from the core of their games.
Shiiieeeetttt....it helps it tremendously nonetheless. Framerate in some of the old games were damn near unplayable at times (Blight Town!). The experience being so much better on both framerate and gfx makes it a lot more playable, which is crucial to overall experience. I got current records of DS1 remastered and DS3 right now on the PS5 and they look horrible comparatively. Most especially DS1. Despite it being remastered and it looks about as it can without a total graphical overhaul, it still just looks pretty ugly. The art-style is showing is age and its not one that aged all that well IMO. Even the much newer DS3, while impressive in its own right and obviously at least previous gen gfx-cally, it looks very drab in comparison tho.
M$ stans.
