Another remake? This was 4 years ago... what are you talking about?

Maybe it's a bot. It reads the word "remake" and proceeds to complain about remakes as scripted.

Maybe there are lots of bots here.

Well, I loved both the OG DeS and the remake, don't really see what all the fuss is about in regards to the remake

 

[bitbydeath]

The OG looked awful and played worse, there is no defending it against the far superior remake.

Anyone who thinks otherwise needs glasses IMO.

Or PS3 technical limitations. DeSo would look completely different if he made it on PS5.

Demon's Souls would look better if made on PS5 by Miyazaki that's a given, but I highly doubt the game would magically go from being Medieval to Gothic. The Medieval setting is an artistic choice. It also doesn't mean the games enemies would go from being demonic to gross and covered in warts either.

Since fucking when Demon's Souls also starts to "suck" ?

Is GAF gonna just hate everything eventually?

"Screw the actual story, we want to make everything look like it's been abandoned for ages."

How does a port studio get so cocky bros?

but the yellow piss filter gives the game so much soul

This is genuinely the first time I've seen people say they hate the remake and with such anger on top of that.

I've only seen it played on video as I do not own a PS5, but I thought it was beautiful looking. Seeing the world on new, 2 gens later hardware, on a new engine, with new lighting and overall graphically upgrade, it made me very close to buying a PS5 (but I'm doing what the bloodborne fans do, and waiting for a PC release. Any day now)

In terms of audio I can't actually remember anything about it, in terms of the music. The audio on enemies, bosses, atmosphere etc all sounded fantastic.

Demon's Souls was the first game I ever imported and it's still my favourite of all the Souls games (Dark Souls 1 being no2). Again, I thought the remake was super impressive looking, so this negativity is kind of a shocker. Or is a defensive mechanism that because a different dev said something about the original that it offended them somehow? That's pretty common too sadly.

And the wound was self-inflicted.

I guess not enough blinding bloom and piss filters in the Remake to keep the "atmosphere" of the textureless world of the PS2 era intact for the purists.

Some of the takes in this thread are incredible lmao

I understand finding some artistic decisions better than the others but plain dismissing a remake as good as SOTC or Demon's Souls because it doesn't have same bloom or colour filters as 2 or 3 generations ago when those exact things were used to hide the limitations of the hardware back then just to keep the same exact atmosphere is insane to me.

People will find anything to complain about...

Seriously. There are some people that will never, ever be pleased.

GAF on the whole still loves it, this is just some rando hit piece. It's what happens when they're idle. There's been an uptick in crazies the last several months.

I prefer the originals over Bluepoint's efforts but that isn't to say I don't appreciate those efforts, especially since it makes games trapped on older systems more easily accessible. Of any of Bluepoint's work, Demon Souls is probably the easiest to be critical of artistically.

 

[Honey Bunny]

Why did they think any of us gave a damn about Bluepoint's artistic vision? We're here for Miyazaki, not them.

Or PS3 technical limitations. DeSo would look completely different if he made it on PS5.
