The Unreal Engine 5 port is really cool, but I do feel like making it bright, sunny, and vibrant that the game loses its dreary tone. After all, it is the end of the world. Sure it looks *better*, but I feel like the washed out color palette was meant to be an intentional artistic choice that Miyazaki made to set the game's mood. The bright lighting and colors makes me feel more like we're in Majula than the Cemetery of Ash. Aside from that, looks pretty damn neat.

Do you ever feel like some people are unfairly talented? This is amazing

[DensetsuNoTeam]

Unreal Engine 5 is basically if DS3 events had place in Mexico

[waltersullivan]

DS3 in UE5 looks amazing already. Sure it’s not finished I’ll be very interested. To see it with the correct color comp.

That cliff scene overlooking the firelink shrine with unreal engine 5 is straight out from a cinematic trailer, wow!

[elliottreed]

I feel like the lack of snowy mountains in the distant background and no grey dreary heavily clouded sky really changes the direction of the zone in a bad way for me. Still cool but not exactly what I would call this area done right.

why do so many people seem to forget what colour grading is and how important it is

[SilasSeiler]

I love hearing the disappointment in Saint_Riot's voice when both the host and summon bloodhound backstep off the ledge

[dirt_dert_durt]

I think you've found your groove with this format. Evolving with the times, you know?

[ToolaRoola]

With all these shaders it's not Dark Souls 3, it's The Chronicles of Narnia.

[AllisterVinris]

The original lighting and artistic direction isn't respected, which bothers me, but, not gonna lie, it looks dope !

[bongparty]

the change in the lighting makes it look more like the vibe of Dark Souls 2 actually

[TheGirlInFandomWorld]

That bit with the Silver Ball enemy was, in fact, comedy gold. The timing on that couldn't have been better if they tried. Perfection.

[davidmingle]

Oh, that shading, reminds me of majula, the one peaceful place in the souls universe

[Tantalpyro]

Maybe a hot take, but I think the original DS3 looks much better than the unreal engine version. The lighting and atmosphere in the original just look a lot more self consistent and fitting to the atmosphere. Same as the water effects, the reflective water just distracts attention away from the details and art.

2:03 That ball just trolled that dude 🤣

[Ichengo]

first 38 seconds in, I personally think it needs the same weather setting/sky time rather than just a whole sun overhaul, the texture upgrade is nice but the lighting is one of the biggest things that got me into Dark Souls, it really set the mood outside of the music.

So basically if Dark Souls 3 looked like Dark Souls 2

[Rat_the_Renegade]

Speaking of Dark Souls 3 I just beat it for the first time today.
Really cool final boss. And I see why someone suggested it to be the playable character for Smash Bros.
Sadly his sword can't actually transform when you get it.

I would finally rest and watch the sun rise on a grateful universe
