I mean, unless the combat/movement is ruined, I am gonna get it. Already said that. I mean, they could make the game look like SMO and I'd still get it. But sure as fuck I am gonna bitch and moan about the visual changes that change the mood of the game. I 100% expect tower of latria to look like total dogshit. I bet the ambiance will be dialed up to 11 to "make it spookier" but in the end it will be less spooky and I bet the area will be lit up too brightly as well. 

 

If the remake is gonna control like DaS2, LotF, The Surge, or something like that, then I will one hundred percent not get the game. I HATE how those games feel to play, and I hate how slow they are. I wanna fuckin zoom man. I love that each From game has basically gotten faster. DaS2 doesn't and it is a lesser game for lesser people. 

 

This being a "remake" does worry. I didn't want a remake of DeS. I wanted it to me more of a Remaster. Same with FF7. I want the graphics of FF7R but that was about it. Like, visually, FF7R did a great job at making Midgar look how it did in my memories. DeS isn't doing that and I don't like that. The Boletarian Palace being green isn't what I want nor do I think that was their intent when DeS was made. 

 

Dude, it's Bluepoint. The amount of antipathy you already have in mounting potential worries is very cynical. What reason do you really have to be so worried? Bluepoint has never done a bad remaster or remake. That's evidence enough, I think.

I mean, there are people who say the Remake of SotC is worse for the same reasons I have said about this remake. I have never played either version of SotC, but there are changes I can consider worse. And I don't want to suck too much From cock here, but IMO, they are the only ones who have actually put out good souls-like games, and I don't even like all of their souls games. Everyone else just basically sucks at it. I don't want that to be the case, but that's how it is for me. If the visual changes weren't so drastic from the original, I'd be less worried, but then there is this. "According to Sony, Demon’s Souls for PS5 has been “entirely rebuilt from the ground up and masterfully enhanced.”" I don't like the way that sounds. It worries me a lot since everyone else sucks. I don't care about their track record when the track record for "good souls-like games from studios that aren't named From Software" is... Not very good. 

 

But have you seen the first 3 post ITT? That hasn't changed despite all of this. I mean, I have watched the trailer numerous times already. Just there isn't any more excitement you can get from me until gameplay is shown. All that is left are my worries.

 

And I don't really know how to put this, but basically, the more I am told to like something I don't like, the more negative and cynical I am going to get in retaliation. That isn't really what is happening here, but I think you get what I mean. Don't really know how to describe it better.  And like, you think I have any trust in a remake of a game I like when FF7R exists? Well, that is a bit of an exaggeration but it has soured me towards remakes.

I think that no one is invincible and if they pull it off I'll be impressed. But my biggest worry is that the game won't "feel" like Demon's Souls, like they'll fiddle with the controls or physics or whatever and some people will be thrilled but the purists will be unhappy.

The biggest complaint to come out of the SotC remake is that it doesn't have this glow/haze layered over the visuals in the game. It really is a stellar remake that holds extremely true to its original counterpart. There is even the classic archaic controller scheme built into the game if you for some reason prefer it. Their company is built around remasters, ports, and remakes with a proven track record. I would imagine to most people that would be great news.

 

But thats just the thing purists, they aren't most people. What would be considered insignificant to the majority of the population, like the haze with SotC, becomes a larger issue for them.

I think in general though its a little too early to jump to any kind of conclusion based on less than 2 minutes of footage.

I think SOTC and Demon's Souls are very different games with very different feels and mechanics. They already had remastered the PS2 versions to PS3 and it's honestly a pretty easy game to remake. Take away the horrid slowdown, make it look good, no complaints.

Demon's Souls has a lot more to it than scale monster or run around the countryside and climb.

I hope this game is amazing but feels different from the original so bacon can pound sand again while we have fun. 

I won't do that. I dislike sand. Also, as I have said to you before:

Which is where the rest of the ports and remasters come in. Gravity Rush, Titanfall, Uncharted, Metal Gear, they have a decently varied catalogue. I will admit that souls-like games do a certain quirk to them. I could understand being cautiously optimistic about the game.

I hope an ez mode is included. 

It seemed there was going to be, or at least people assumed, but sony then said this

While I don't want there to be one, it wouldn't be the end of the world. DeS is pretty easy compared to the rest of em tho. That would be a good change if they made it harder, but I don't care much either way. Tho, just nerfing the broken stuff would instantly make the game harder.

A port is different than remaking a game though, a port is easier than a remaster.

Again, it's Bluepoint. You think they don't know about what your guys' concerns are? They are more purist than you are, I can assure you. There's literally no basis in fact to worrying yet here you guys are, worrying. A lot of prevaricating going on here, I'd say. Bluepoint's entire catalogue of remasters and remakes is all held in high regard. The Shadow of the Colossus remake, as someone who played it, thought it was fantastic, and I've played the original PS2 version twice. It has universally excellent reviews across the board. You're finding the few nitpicks and basing your worries off expanding those small nitpicks from SOTC remake to meaning Demon's Souls will suffer too? What, a few nitpicks? Or will it derail the game? I've played almost every Bluepoint game and if anyone was going to remake it, I actually trust Bluepoint more than From Software. They'll base their remake off of the original code, not to worry. I just . . . it's one trailer, and the game is actually happening. Maybe be super happy that the best remaster/remake company in the business is handling it, or keep going on and on about how the SOTC remake wasn't perfect, ergo this game will be bad? Just doesn't make sense. We're in the hype phase, and we have no reason not to be hype.

Doubt. They Already murdered the Fluted set. I didn't get the DaS remaster because the armor lost the shiny quality.

That isn't the example I wanted to use, but I was too lazy to find the one I wanted. 

 

Anyway, that isn't the reason I didn't get the remaster. I just didn't get it cuz there is no point for a PC player to get it, IMO. 

 

And I don't know how many times I gotta say it, but I am looking forward to the game, despite my worries. This has literally be my desktop background since I saw the image.

The first 3 posts are me literally creaming in my pants man. I am being negative, sure, but everyone else is just ignoring my excitement as well.

it’s because similar to how you are excited for it but there is more to talk about in regards to your critique there is more to talk about in regards to your critique than that of your excitement

It was always discounted for people who owned the original but never enough, and then it never went on sale enough either.

If you are excited, I believe you, it's just been a lot of tonal whiplash from my POV is all. :p I think you'll have to make peace with the fact some things will be different, at least more than you'll probably be comfortable with. But in many other ways the remake will probably be better than the original. 

 

Like, gameplay is one thing I don't want messed with for the most part, but "muting the Flute set" doesn't matter to me at all, that seems small time (to me at least).

It isn't for music, but for ASMR/Japanese Ear Porn. Either way, Foobar is pretty great when all you had ever used was WMP.
