Looks absolutely incredible. I can't believe the 5 is launching with a Souls game--and the best one, to boot.
Wow, they're keeping item burden, sounds like! I can deal with that, but I do hope they make one change: that items you find while at max item burden get sent straight to Stockpile Thomas rather than just being left there.
God damn it...I was totally satisfied with just having my X at this point...now I have to scrounge around for a PS5. Demon Souls is the only Souls game that I only dabbled in so it will be a new experience for me...when I can get ahold of a PS5 that is.
Sony needs to put a ring on Bluepoint, they are fantastic artists and developers!

Gave up on the original in the first hour because i didn't understand the (fromsoftware) formula. Went on to beat darksouls, bloodborne and sekiro as they became some of my favorite games ever and now i cant wait to return to the original and finally play demons souls
Stonefang never looked so good. Everything else looks incredible too!
The soul acquisition effect looks like it could be a little distracting is my only gripe.

It really varies from person to person. There is no consensus tbh. Some people find Dark Souls harder than Bloodborne and some ppl the opposite for example. I found Demon Souls fairly hard since it was my first Souls title but not sure if it will remain that way when I go back having played so many more Souls games. It will be hard but fair like most souls games though.
The difficulty of the Souls games is massively overstated. They're often challenging but once you get to grips with the mechanics there isn't too much to worry about, and Demon's is the easiest one.
compared to your average game definitely yes. Compared to other games in the souls series not particularly. Not sure which side you're coming from so giving both lol.
The font and music are easy things to get right, so the fact they swung so hard and missed so greatly is kinda crazy. These were things that gave the original game a style that not even later Soulsborne games tried to capture, so if they're really gone you will never hear the end of it.
Just to harp and nitpick the music, it's only in Demon's Souls where the music isn't bombastic but entirely atmospheric. Now it's just something if you close your eyes it's from any generic medieval fantasy fight scene. When I posted originally I was commenting in real time, so all I thought they were showing was the Armored Spider boss, but no, they ruined Flamelurker too.
Most of Demon's Souls' charm in bosses is this slow, foreboding soundtrack. Not some Lord of the Rings scale fight scene track, which appears to be a very strange direction to go in. Is this to market the game as "AAA" or whatever nebulous term this industry wants to use as hip, cutting edge, and expensive?
Wow! It does look like a game now. The previous trailer, IMHO, looked like a cg rendered "gameplay". It looks fantastic now!
This might be my favorite launch title EVER - so long as Bluepoint nails the landing.
Wow that looked amazing.

Gutted about the healing changes. I was never particularly good at Souls but part of what set DeS apart for me was that the sheer spam of healing items helped me with the bits I found too difficult.
Ok cool!
I guess I finished both bloodborne and sekiro, so it's not out of my reach. Honest it's my most hyped launch game. And bouncing between the Pathless and this should be a good combination. It just looks so beautiful
Probably not, but I imagine since that drop after the spider bossfight is the intended progression to Flamelurker, new players wouldn't be familiar with how to descend properly without dying so it quickloads you once you drop off the edge.
Yes please. Only FROM Software is able to make a new Bloodborne.
I haven't actually beat Demon Souls myself, but if I remember it right, the game didn't really ask you to have quick reflexes like Ninja Gaiden, it rely more on your observation of what the enemies is doing, knowledge how to evade certain attack etc.if you're stuck, just watching how to beat a particular boss on youtube really helped a lot in my experience
