I'm really curious if they're overhauling the tendency system along with combat. The concept behind World Tendency was neat but the execution could have used more work.

It looked nothing like Demon's Souls, but I guess that's a good thing. Certainly better than other lame frame for frame but upgraded graphics remakes.

The gameplay looked super boring, but I've never played a Souls game so that's probably why I thought that.

It wasn't very representative of the real game, IMO. Looked mostly like they wanted to show off the engine.

The real game is way more tense. Him one shotting everything and going straight for the boss didn't help at all. They just wanted to show lighting and animation and such.

Sweet, yes, but imagine doing that for 30+ enemies in a level. Gonna take forever.

Demons Souls was the first of the series I ever played. I also only ever bear the tutorial and the first level.

Can't wait to pick this up.

They didn't show anything from the cut content from the original game, did they? Game looks great, shame what happened to Flamelurker's face though.

Also dont forget that was basically half of the tutorial level and nothing from the game after that.

how can you have beat the original a dozen times and think this looks good? Its a total slap in the face to the original, it totally misses the entire style

this isnt new bad old good either. One look at Flamelurkers design shows that they have no respect for the original game

No offense, but go back and play the original game. Visually, it did not age well at all.

As someone with an RTX 2080 laptop, I don't expect that level of performance at 1080p. I'll probably get it on PS5.

I played it a couple years ago and yeah it looks like a dated PS3 game, but that doesnt excuse changing the entire visual style. It doesnt even look like Boletaria anymore, Flamelurker looks like a generic DOOM demon. Believe it or not, you can update the graphics without overwriting the art style which is what most remakes strive to do. This is like the DAH remake where they replaced the PS2-realistic humans with literal cartoon characters. Sure, it looks better, but its nothing like the original.



dude its totally the same but with better graphics lmao
Counterpoint: I dont see the point of remaking a game if youre not going to make significant changes

its not like the original is unplayable by any means. So they might as well make this its own thing

I sincerely doubt they'll put it back in. For one, this studio isn't known for adding content to remakes, and it's further complicated by the fact that the cut content has been datamined and it was more or less used to make Sen's Fortress. So even if they add it in, it won't feel as fresh as you might hope.

No, you just have to always have a PS3 around and hooked up. The remake all but ensures that the original will never* be ported

*Never for a very long time, all the time.

fwiw I think its dumb to be remaking ten year old games, I would much rather have this be a new game entirely

but if the decision was made to remake it, I prefer making it feel like its own separate thing as much as possible

I'm definitely more excited about the remake after this trailer due to how different it looks. Not just in visuals but in design of combat and and movement. It doesn't even look like other, more modern Souls games.

But they definitely did Flamelurker dirty by turning him into a generic Balrog.

Also the constant breathing is upsetting to listen to.

The combat seems much more visceral and weighty. Almost like the first Dark Souls.

I played the original Dark Souls and I can confirm it was incredibly boring tbh. Maybe it got better later in the series but It is not a series for me.

For what it's worth, apparently they did make Flamelurker look a bit closer to his original design. He has the face guard and the wonky eye in the new trailer, so I think they are addressing some concerns with the new look.

One of the major complaints I see about it are the changes to the Boletarian Palace design. The new design more closely resembles the gothic architecture of the later Souls games, but those civilizations seemed more advanced than Boletaria. Basically, people were miffed that they changed the supposed time period of the setting. The excess foliage around the Palace also implies that things went wrong a while ago, while the old game's seemed to imply that the process is still ongoing more or less, or at least that everything went to shit recently.

I thought it looked really boring and weirdly artificial. Like something you would have seen in a movie 10-15 years ago misrepresenting what playing a game is actually like. For all the technology clearing on display it was also ugly, like I dont mean the graphics are bad just that nothing about it was aesthetically pleasing.

The quick cuts to various bosses and the end made it look better but everything always looks better like that.
