Demon's Souls: New information from Lance McDonald (faithfulness, game is gold, and more)

Honestly I'm fine if they keep everything the same. I'd like to carry as much as I want but oh well. Oh maybe a better cue to the small walls you can climb. Are those only in 1-1?
I'd be glad to have the camera back to being similar to the original, at least as an option. I don't want a cinematic camera in Demon's Souls. Give me a wider FoV and pulled back camera that's positioned a little higher than the gameplay trailer.
It would be interesting if they used the 6th archstone as their "test" to see what they can do by themselves in this genre.
The stuff around the missing archstone reminds me the Alternate Reality games on the Atari 800. They had portals to future games. It was a cool idea, but they only managed one of the sequel games in the end. So Alternate Reality: The City had a portal to Alternate Reality: The Dungeon, but there were also portal to The Wastelands etc. Still a good game though. With the SSD in both systems they could pull this off now, effectively linking different games together.
Yeah, I'm hoping for a classic camera option as well. It's a nitpick for sure but I didn't like how low to the ground the camera was in the gameplay trailer.
I don't think there is any major new content in this. There might be something small, like they did in Shadow of the Colossus, but I'd advise to adjust expectations regarding new content.
I know alot of people are happy with it being faithful to the original but i really wanted some changes. I wanted some new enemies or the option to revamp enemy and item locations. Going back to the simple combat in this game after playing Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3 will be rough aswell. Im still really excited ofc since the original is one of my favorite games of all time but when they revealed that the player count was increased i was hoping for more.
I was kinda worried about it not being announced gold yet so close to launch. It's not like they have to, but I expected it to happen. Surely we're about to get a lot more info in the next few days.
The hype got me and I preordered it on PSN. I really shouldn't have done it, there's no point in preordering a digital game (they could do any kind of promo around launch and I just missed it, for instance) but I'm weak!

They didn't add any of the scrapped 8 Colossi in the remake, Demons Souls remake they seem to be a bit more ambitious, which is great.
Just forgot to add that Sony has been too quiet, we need to know more so close to launch. Apparently we will not get much this week other than unboxing and early backwards compatibility impressions, and maybe some more in-depth looks at Miles Morales and whatnot. We need Demon's Souls!
Maybe talking about the well documented cut colossi fights in SOTC? I would have loved them to restore the spider and the demon, but I suppose it was troublesome enough for it to never happen.
It is really good. A bit jankier than Dark souls, but it got much more ambitious idea and more experimental, especially the online interactivity.
Dark Souls 1 is a very nice evolution of the original gameplay design in Demon's Souls, but in terms of innovation, online components, enemy encounter, environments, art direction and other aspects, DS remains relevant. It really is a good game even if at times it may feel outdated by the greatness in subsequent games based on its groundwork.
I suppose Bluepoint is making a mostly 1:1 version of the original with minor improvements, but still it's very much worth playing to any Souls fan. The magic and wonderment is there. And the utterly next-gen mindblowing visuals won't hurt.
I expect there to be a nod acknowledging the Archstone or something, anymore than that is a huge ask.
This month has dragged like crazy, the 7 days the States has the game before we do will be torturous.

I have good news!! We'll have the game at the same time as the US 🙏

We won't have the PS5 to play it

Demon's souls is closest to dark souls. But at the same time is pretty different to it and anything else from software has done since.
The short of it is don't expect it to be anything like sekiro or bloodborne
Like, above cut content, I would love to know if they changed or updated World Tendency. If they made it less obscure it would really add a lot to the game's longevity. It already does in the original but without a guide it's hard to know how tendency affects certain events.
This is the game that started it all. Of course its good. Its a must play.
The wait for this is unbearable, but at least I'll get to look at my sealed copy in less than three weeks while I wait for the console to be shipped...
He's a pretty well known modder/hacker in the Soulsborne community. He has connections at Sony which is probably where he gets his info.
PlayStation marketing ?
Even in the 80', it was better.
Well, I don't like this thread.
I still don't know which game I will play first on the 19th.
DS or Cyberpunk77 ?
Hard choice.
