Quite defensive here when I wasn't even the one who mentioned Demon's Souls in the first place, and even outright stated this thread wasn't about Demon's Souls. I'll give you a pat on the head for trying, I can see you are but it isn't that effective.
Bingo.
I'm not sure if that will really answer your concerns though until reviews come out.
So resident evil 2 remake is not a new game?
Im not the one arguing the same game is not the same game. LOL. The games story and areas are pretty much the same as well as most of the combat. Its an updated version of an older game.
It is a game, based off of a 2009 game, remade into a NEW form for 2020. It is a new game, just like RE Remake was, just like RE2 Remake was, RE3 remake. All games that were made NEW by their remake status.
Its nothing like REMake in the least. REmake was a completely different story was it not?
a remade game is a new game
Are we talk about the GC games? Sorry. Yeah those are absolutely remakes.
Hey, don't do this. This doesn't help the goal post moving, strange narrative regarding Demons Souls.
I am of the same stance, a remaster is an upres of a game, 720p to 1080p, maybe a frame rate increase but beyond that, no noticeable changes. A remake is a game being completely remade, from the ground up, new textures, new art, new AI, improved systems. A lot more goes into a remake than a remaster, hence making it a new game.
No they arent, a new game has new story etc. Remaking a game to make look better and or play a little differently is not. You can look at both versions and still tell they are Demons souls.
Part of the confusion could be that the game is referred to as a remaster online as often as it is a remake. As a fan of the original, I hope to god it's more remaster than remake. I don't care one bit what Bluepoint has to contribute to the Souls genre when working from FROMs original. Sony's own description of the game makes me worry less. They mostly just refer to enhanced graphics and performance.
It went way off topic. So we have to reestablish what is a new vs a remake apparently to some.
I dont care if its called a remaster or a remake at the end of the day. All I am saying is that Demons Souls is a remake/remaster what ever they hell you want to call it of the same game. Its not a new game, it is the same story. It is a new game in the fact that it only plays on the ps5, but as the orginal person was stating before this all went down. They have played a version of Demon Souls and for the most part the core part of the game itself is the same. I think this went off the rails for naming conventions.
Re- make. It is made from 0 again, which is the point of the thread, games made from 0 for new consoles, regardless if they are based on a previous game.
Then by the same means a remaster is a remake by that definition. As it also has "new code, create new art assets and all that stuff."
Remaster needs new code to implement even new textures or resolution. At some level some code has to be edited.
All I am saying is that Demon Souls on PS5 is a newer version of Demon Souls on ps3. Its mostly the same game at heart. Take out the remake/ remaster part, I dont care what we call it.
Not even close to the level of which a remake would require, wouldn't even put it in the same stratosphere of a remake. I think you should take a break, you aren't going to win this argument and are clearly the minority in feeling this way.

The culprit is Covid, because the virus made development harder imo and therefore slow down progress. For those who don't know making a gameplay demo takes time and a few teams members away from the current build in development. Thus Xbox decided to prioritize the development of the games over many gameplay demos according to Aaron iirc.
I completely agree and I don't really mind that we haven't seen anything.
