Dark Souls 2 graphics mode posted by a Twitter user aims to take the lighting of the whole game to a different dimension by replacing the game’s shaders with better quality techniques.
Just before the official release of Dark Souls 2, fans of the game were mocking the alpha images that looked better than the finished game. Noticeable decrease in quality despite the long period from the development process to its publication; it made many fans think that the team that made Dark Souls 2 prioritized performance over the aesthetics of the game. The preferences/changes made at the time were met with great controversy among fans. A lot of people thought they were being lied to about the true potential of the game.
A fan picks up the ropes for Dark Souls 2 graphics mode
One Twitter user –@Stayd3D– who wanted to solve the problems, considered renewing their lighting to help the game achieve its true potential and set out. With the Dark Souls 2 graphics mode it aims to create, it aims to greatly refresh the lighting of the game; it mostly aims to rewrite its shaders and replace them with better, better quality techniques.
A self-taught lighting artist and graphics programmer, he will rearrange many things within the framework of Dark Souls 2 graphics mode. With a few relatively small but apparently valuable changes, the game suddenly caught a different vibe. His short video in front of one of the iconic boss battles in Dark Souls 2 reveals the beauty of the changes he has created:
Although dark souls games don’t show any mod shortages, the idea of renewing a lighting-based Dark Souls 2 graphics mode can be a very creative and promising idea. Stayd has also embraced the idea of creating/implementing unique weapons and textures in Dark Souls 2 graphics mode. Unfortunately, it is not clear whether these can be included in the final mode. Dark Souls fans and other players will have to wait, as there is no exact timeline until it is completed.
Mode progress is monitored even by fans of the game and people who have never played Dark Souls in their lives or will probably not. You can find the tweet below or at the link where the Twitter user (@Stayd3D) who created the mode answers frequently asked questions:
