This is something that may please those that were disappointed by the game’s simplified lighting system. Not only that, but some areas present now new challenges, creating a real use for the torch. These new textures are also sharper and do not bring any additional performance overhead. As such, nearly 6000 individual texture files were modified and are included in this pack. By using this tool, he was able to dump every texture in the game and filter, tone down the brightness and make them darker. The modder claimed that he used iGP11 for extensive texture overriding. In other words, this pack introduces some noticeable art style changes to the game.
This pack overhauls more than 6000 textures, bringing its visuals closer to the aesthetics of the first Dark Souls game. Modder ‘Save Smokey’ has released a pretty interesting HD Texture Pack for Dark Souls 2.
