I don't think they deliberately excluded Ueda. Probably they don't ask me anything for involuntary disinterest though Ueda given also his support to Bluepoint during the development.

Bluepoint's next project is a "re-envisioning"
- Thread starter stryke
- Start date
That's mostly it. It was a good remake but with some bad artistic changes.
..why should Capcom allow someone else to make the RE3 remake when they are perfectly capable of doing it on their own, especially with a bunch of Raccoon City assets ready to go
What? Where?Jason hinted it's coming.
Re-envisioning Open world Boletaria, Demon Souls
He simply speculated that we may one day get DeS remaster/remake but nothing concrete.
A "re-envisioning" is concerning if it really is Demon's Souls. They don't actually need to do much of anything with that, or at least shouldn't. Like, add the missing archstone at most. Definitely don't fuck with how the game plays or how it's designed. Definitely don't make the combat like Dark Souls 3 or Bloodborne, I can't believe I'm reading people calling for that in this thread? I have to assume people who never liked Demon's to begin with. Completely misunderstands what makes that game so great and special in the first place. Why would you want to take the most unique game in the franchise and make it just like the others?
But didn't they already said RE3 remake won't be made by capcom while they are working on RE8
Demons Souls gameplay is janky as fuck when considering the improvements from DS1 through 3. Nostalgia glasses blind some people.
No, don't make the combat like Bloodborne, but they need to implement some of the improvements from Dark Souls.
It needs 60FPS and some SOTFS-like improvements.
The concern is in putting emphasis on combat at all, the game is not combat focused the way the later games are. Though in response to your jank comment, I feel like Dark Souls felt jankier? I haven't played DeS in a good while in fairness because I'm pretty much an exclusively PC gamer now, but I remember even at the time going from DeS to DaS that the latter felt at least clunkier. Am I wrong? I actually would like to hear from others because that could well be misremembering from how long it's been. But the point is, please don't over-emphasize combat. Please don't "fix" those "boring" boss fights that lack complexity, which I feel like would naturally follow from that. Please just don't fuck with this beautiful game ._.
Did he actually say that post was speculation? He specifically said "yes" IIrc.
This intro and the character creation theme especially... you know you've started something special.
I've hammered my Asian ENGLISH "white sticky stuff" copy a million times, but when it went free on PS+ a while back for PS3 diving back into it after playing Dark Souls let me see just how rough some bits are.
I'm not talking about overhauling everything as such, but improvements to movement, rolling and some of the combat. I trust Bluepoint if this is their next project, but I also would expect From Software and Miyazaki would not allow something that does a disservice to their break out game to be released.
I think it's pretty safe to say no one saw the Shadow of the Colossus remake coming given it had already had a pretty good remaster on PS3,so I think Demon's Souls is absolutely in the running to be Blue Points next project.
I don't think that Demon's Souls fans would like anyone to "re-envision" that game [like Capcom re-envisioned RE2].
Over the years I got the impression that fans of that game want a ambitious visually-stunning SotC-like port without changing core systems like traversal, combat, pacing, char development systems, gameworld design, enemy AI, etc.

Don't clutch your pearls too tight if it is. Japanese games are not infallible, in fact even Square are reimagining Final Fantasy 7. Plenty of games, from all over the world could use a bit of tweaking
Source? Because from what I remember he liked to work on the project and he had some idea about it but Sony didn't asked to him anything before to start the project. It's far different to refuse and reject his ideas. And he given his support to Bluepoint at the end.

Then we have the demo souls fans, but
SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE
SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE
He stated it clearly in an interview that he wanted to change certain aspects and his ideas got rejected. I'll try to find the source later.
But whatever. At least they don't need Miyazaki's blessing and they probably couldn't care less about what Miyzaki/From wants.
I suspect you have completely misunderstand his words. Ueda never claimed something like that.

I can confirm. Can't find the post but basically the thread was 'do you think a demons soul remaster is coming' and jschreier out of nowhere said simply 'yes'.
I'm not usually interested in remasters and remakes, but a re-envisioning of games where there's a lot of new content or even mechanics.. sounds interesting.
Capcom has completely restructured the japanese company and cut off all the western studios partneship/collaboration, because they said to not need anymore of external support from the others software house for their future projects. Everything will be made by them because they have enough know-how and employers for any projects. So not seems coherent to their recent internal "policies" what you said.
IIRC there was an unverified leak shortly after the release of Colossus suggesting it was MGS.
I dearly hope it's Demon Souls. That game actually needs a lot of refinement of the mechanics and polishing up environments (and potentially add a completely discarded area). So re-envisioning sounds apt.
