Yeah Demon's Souls is hard to go back to, it was great for its time and foundational to Dark Souls but has aged pretty badly. I also think the remake is uh. Worse. I'm biased because the original is burned into my brain, and the remake is better on every technical aspect, but I dunno. Simple explanation is that DeS's relevance is mostly as a piece of video game history, and the remake is just...not the actual history! And while visually it's pretty gorgeous and I tried to keep an open mind, there's still a bunch of aesthetic decisions in the remake that bug me. It could just be my familiarity but Tower of Latria just looks less scary now.

Basically no matter what you do with DeS you have to take it with a huge grain of salt. If you're interested in it, it might be best to play it now rather than later, but it's up to you.
