Demon's Souls Remake - Review Thread [Currently the highest rated Next-Gen Game]
- Thread starter --R

Yeah it's true eh eh eh.. I just don't like the mosquitoes, the rest is amazing, it's so intricate.
Never been a big Souls fan (loved Sekiro though) but yeah this is an instabuy. Just looks utterly stunning and I can't wait to immerse myself.
P5R isn't really a remake as it is a re-release with additional content.
Games like Demons, RE2, or FF7 that remake decades old games on new platforms are a different ball of wax.
Honestly would be more than happy to buy BB again if BP did a remake with this kind of level of quality.
I'm absolutely with you. It's the essential Souls level.
I wish it could not be entered as easily via the backdoor though, which pretty much robs players of the proper Blighttown experience (and makes the level even more confusing).
Imagine a timeline where it does get canceled and From Software shut down and we never get all the games after Demon's Souls, either. Atlus really did themselves (financially) and the industry a big favour publishing it on PS3 in NA and Namco for EU regions.
The fact this was made in under 3 years when most AAA games are taking 4-5 is incredible
I arent surprised. Bluepoint are peerless at what they do, I played through their SotC remake the other day and its absolutely phenomenal work. Not to say its perfect, I agree on Wanders face looking off, they lost the stoism and determination in his expression but that's literally the only nitpick I can think of and that's kind of insane. Nothing is perfect, and yet it very nearly is.
Still can't get my head around them doing Demon's souls. Not long ago it was a pipedream, now its here and its amazing and I can play it next week.
Fuck.

I think it helped that game design and mechanics were in place already.
Yeah I'm sure that helped a lot but Bluepoint is a relatively small studio around 90 iirc and all the assets had to be basically redone. Oh and it's also the best looking game ever released
They made that tweet:

Even though this referenced Souls, it also referenced SotN or CV heavily, and why eould they be talking about another company's IP. There was also something else I read that kinda heavily hints at CV that I cant remember sorry!

Indeed. Going through the proper entrance makes it a great experience.

Demon’s Souls on PS5 is a classic reborn

Not a Souls guy at all here, played the original and sucked at it back when it was new, but... 92+ seems very well deserved for this remake. It looks like a fantastic effort.

Test Demon's Souls PS5
Le père de la série des Souls, à savoir Demon's Souls, revient après plus de 10 ans dans une version remake sur Playstation 5. Les équipes de Bluepoint nous proposent une nouvelle plongée dans un enfer peuplé de démons, de difficulté et de nostalgie. La magie opère-t-elle encore en 2020 ?

Well, there's my first PS5 game decided. BB is my GOAT and I quite like Dark Souls. Good to see Sony starting a new generation strong.
I've never heard that expression before, I like it. I can finally give "whole new kettle of fish" a rest :D
Amazing how quickly it comes back to watch the enemies around rolling in 4-1.
The skeleton is dead inside us, shoved around by a cage of pulsing flesh and hair and fabric.
I mean most AAA are designing levels, writing, making from near scratch etc. Doing a remake like this a lot of that design work is done so it's mostly polish.

Demon's Souls Review: Shield Up
Bluepoint delivers a Demon's Souls remake that is as much its own as it is From Software's, and it shows off the power of the PS5 with it.

I definitely have enough time, it would just take me forever so I was wondering if the OG Demon's Souls is still worth playing. Luckily I already own it (ugh, I have a massive backlog) and my PS3 is still hooked up.
Video review from Game Informer. Gamespot haven't uploaded theirs yet. Looks absolutely incredible.
One negative though, when your character is in soul mode or whatever that blue aura is, you can't appreciate the character model as much. Hopefully it's not like that most of the game, as I want to be able to properly appreciate that glorious armour detail.

A part of me admires that Bluepoint stayed so true to the original in most respects, but I do wish they would've just said fuck it and attempted their own content with the sixth arch stone. Seems like such a missed opportunity, but I understand why they didn't.

Oh wow that's a quote worth quoting again.
GOTY? Yup, GOTY.
And now I'm so regretting not doing more attempt to get a PS5 preorder in. Can't go into stores now either because of covid. (Not that I would ever find one on a shelf).
It's more of a warning to general gaming audiences. Admittedly, most of the Ars Technica readership probably understands the idea behind Souls games, but a more casual gamer might see the review and appreciate the mention of the difficulty.
I'm not sure it's eligible, considering it's a remake..I might be wrong though.
I don't think it matters for the game awards. Talking about that Geoff Keighly show.
Nominees are being announced this Wednesday so judges wouldn't have had enough time to play it anyway.
