So, what does the PlayStation 4 remaster of Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen look like? Go back to the PlayStation 3 original these days and honestly, it hasn't held up all that well. It's still got an attractive dark fantasy art style and some neat environmental design, but graphically, it's definitely lost its once decent sheen.
Thankfully, the PS4 version seems to scrub things up quite nicely. It's not a miraculous job by any means, but sharper models and textures across the board make for a much more defined experience. Obviously the remaster gets a resolution boost as well, and the often dim lightning appears to have been tweaked for the better. Hopefully the PS4 port also does away with the original's framerate issues.
Are you looking forward to Dragon's Dogma on PS4? Did you play the game on PS3? Track down that nasty old dragon in the comments section below.

I loved the PS3 version, really looking forward to this coming out
One of my favorite RPG's last gen. I can't wait to play it again.
As long as the framerate remains relatively smooth then it's all good. It was quite erratic back on the PS3, not that it stopped me enjoying climbing onto and stabbing beasties.
It was damn fun on PS3, but I don't know if it will be worth re-buying. Maybe a budget title to look forwards to 6 months down the line?
I loved the gameplay of this game on PS3, but the thing that made not even scratch the 20% mark was discovering that some quests were missable! I hate that, I hate that an open world RPG makes me do things at specific times, it's terrible design and made me not even bother anymore
Certainly looks like a nice touch up may have to get it.
@Craggis19 It has a budget price to start with.
@Flaming_Kaiser that's awesome, how much is it going for? I checked Amazon, but they didn't seem to have a price.
The original was awesome and the pawn system is fantastic. Still get people who play on the PS3 sending friend requests because they have played with my pawn
£30 not available for pre-order yet for some strange reason
I remember the combat being difficult to grasp in this game
I will be this on ps4 8 times more than i did on ps3! Can't wait
£16.82 from ShopTo. Absolute steal!
@smythelove Really? I think combat was perfect. Skyrim and The Witcher sound as funny as a car accident after DD.
@andreoni79 I'm going to have to give it another go. I'm older now maybe I'll figure it out
I got it on 360, I got it on PC, and I am getting it on PS4. I love this game!
DragonsDogma was a Great Game - and features one of the most remorable boss/enemy encounters I remember (spoiler: while walkin through some woods all of a sudden a huge dragon was slowly walking there in the middle of the night - I have been crushed hard the first time I encountered him lol was so epic though) - and since I never played the expansion "dark arisen" I am more than interested in picking this up again - for a reasonable price
I will play it this time! Missed it on ps3
@AFCC I think it was a great idea to be able to loose some missions because the quest-giver died ... much better than the immortal quest givers in Skyrim etc.
AND Dogma is meant to be played several times with the "same" charackter to prepare for the hot stuff on the island ... enough time to find lost missions etc.
@consolfreak1982 Dark Arisen is much harder than the main game, MUCH harder.
@Bonito yeah I heard that! There's also a sort of grim reaper chasing you down or so I think while doing the expansion which gets me kinda excited only thing that's worrying me is the price tag tbh
When you first arrive at the island the reaper really sux ...
AND .. he comes back even when you have slain him.

@Bonito Maybe I'll give it another chance someday...
