Thread 724999404

Soulless presentation aside, is it worth playing if I don't have access to the original game?

>>724999404 (OP)
Remake is ass. Moron big companies think they don't need unique Japanese design, since they just look at numbers on the page.

You have access to the original, on yoru very own PC plus enhancements:

>fan balance patch
>HD graphics
>60fps

>>724999404 (OP)
yes it's worth a go

>>724999404 (OP)
It's fine for a playthrough or two

Just get a month of PS+ Extra instead of buying it

>>724999404 (OP)
I never played the original so I don't have a bias either way. I got to play Demon's Souls Remake for free and I thought it was awesome. It was harder than I expected it to be, being a Souls veteran. People told me this game was piss easy. And true, maybe the bosses are easier (I 1-shotted almost all of them), but the areas are much harder than in later souls game. Real gauntlets of death. The bonfires are spread so far and so few between. It's interesting that in later games, it's the bosses that became "the hard parts" and the levels can almost be casually explored. Regardless, it's cool to see where Souls began.

Good for you anon, but these claims are always funny

>>725000067
Oh yeah, I suppose I should mention. In the original Demon's Souls, apparently you could hold a near infinite amount of healing items on you, granted you farmed them/bought them. In this Remake, healing items weigh a lot, and you can't really carry hundreds of them like you could before. That's probably why people say the original is piss easy.

>Soulless presentation aside, is it worth playing if I don't have access to the original game?
Absolutely. Don't listen to the hipster faggots on this retarded ass board, even if you have access to BOTH, play the NEW one. It's LITERALLY the same fucking thing with a new coat of paint. It's BETTER, eat shit, you stupid moulies.

>>725000182
>but these claims are always funny
Not really, I just forgot to add the context needed. They've limited the amount of healing items you can carry.

Yeah it would be an easy game if I could carry 100+ of the best quality healing grass item

>>724999404 (OP)
It's essentially the same gameplaywise, so you'll have the same experience.

>>725000067
>People told me this game was piss easy.
It is. Wtf could you have possibly struggled with if you're a "souls veteran?" It's the easiest Souls game by leaps and bounds. The boss fights are all fucking jokes.

>>725000327
Did you read my post or are you a nigger that can't read more than a sentence?

>>725000327
I'd say 4-2 is still one of the hardest individual levels in the series.

>>725000067
>>725000191
>>725000278
This game si so ugly it's unreal

>>725000435
Shhhhh Rajesh. Go poo in the loo.

>>724999521
will it run at 60fps on my 9700k?

>>725000275
yeah lead paint maybe

Never 5get

>>725000435
At least it's not low poly and smeared in shit like most Fromsoft games are.

>>725000554
>only one million copies sold
>Sony once again ignores it

>>724999404 (OP)
Yes. Despite its blunders, the remake feels much better to control than the original thanks to the higher fps and the dualsense features are actually impactful.

>>725000632
It would run like shit on PC, Sony doesn't want to bother with it.

>>724999521
>>fan balance patch
lol

>>725000554
Nigger I'm not reading all that.

>>725000893
You don't have to read all of it to get the gist, black IQ boy.

>>724999404 (OP)
yes and other than some of the lower tech charm and some odd design decisions it's a better experience.

>>724999404 (OP)
it's still great to play but it feels like what it is-- unskilled devs messing around with assets to earn a paycheck with very little respect for fundamental aspects of the vision of the original creators. it's whatever but i don't think sony greenlighting this was worth burning the bridge with fromsoft for future collaborations. believe me, there are old heads at fromsoft that HATE every single aspect of the remake and consider it a personal insult

>>724999404 (OP)
Despite all the design and some gameplay changes I disagree with it's still Demon's Souls for the most part so yeah sure. The real fun was in invasions but I imagine the game today is just as dead as the original which is actually dead.

>>725001312
Sony's relationship with the Souls series is really quite an arc. From Yoshida calling DeS a trash game to collaborating with Fromsoft to develop Bloodborne as a killer app for the PS4 to remaking the original game with none of the original designers.

>>725001634
It has been miserable since day one. I'm surprised BB even got made despite the terrible treatment from them. They could have easily gone to Microsoft or Nintendo instead.

>>725001714
FROM is speaking very highly of Nintendo lately. It took them 30 years but I guess they finally came around. Nintendo is still a staunch japanese heavy company so it makes sense they have common ground with FROM.

>>725000327
You'd be surprised, longer levels with deaths that set you back far can be a surprising hurdle for modern players even if enemies are mechanically simple and running out of grass puts people into shock, the easiest game though is actually Dark Souls 1.

>>725001714
Microsoft doesn't really have a good track record with Japanese developers if Scalebound is any indication but with Nintendo Duskbloods is their attempt at reaching out now.

>>725001714
>I'm surprised BB even got made despite the terrible treatment from them
It was developed before Playstation switched HQ to California and shitcanned Japan Studios

>>725002034
Even before the canning, the Jap businessmen at Sony loathed them.

>>725001874
They were pretty tight with 360 era until Kinect and then it just flopped from there in Japanese markets.

>>725001874
idk what it says but I enjoyed otogi by from software on my fuckhugecontrollerbox

>>725002159
I'm not sure about that since FS has been making games on Playstation since the 90s and Yoshida quickly changed his tune when the series saw huge success. Its more so regret and missed opportunity on the businessmen part for not buying or investing more into the Souls series early on before Bamco came along

>is it worth playing
No, fundamental mechanics of the original like movement were drastically altered
>if I don't have access to the original game?
For the cost of this game you could buy a used ps3 and play the orginal

>>725001312
>unskilled devs messing around with assets to earn a paycheck with very little respect for fundamental aspects
And then they remade it for PS5.

>>725003829
Why even bother trolling? This place is getting slower and slower and it's because people don't want to be around your shitty posts. You're so repulsive you killed an entire 20 year old website. How does that feel? I bet even your own mother doesn't love you.

They should have finished the 6th archstone instead of wasting resources on remaking every asset.

No, DeS is a bit like Shadow of the Colossus (I wouldn't be surprised if some devs worked on both).
The audio is better in the original, you'll get it if you play it.

>>724999404 (OP)
Yes it's better than the original in every way possible don't listen to the poor Pc fags..

Broo, I'm at the Flamelurker faggot and my bonking barely does any damage. I got like a bajilion upgrade mats ready and no actually good weapon to upgrade.
Is the Crushing Battle axe worth upgrading for a strength based build? I'm not interested in magic, I just want to BONK!

>>724999404 (OP)
It's fine. People act like it's the Silent Hill HD remake with the comic sans Silent Hill Ranch sign.

>>725005686
Forgot to add that the reason I don't want to play with it is because I don't like the short range. I want a longer weapon.

>>725005686
even if you're not interested in magic fyi even unupgraded the crescent falchion found at 4-1 shreds his ass from what I remember its been a few billion years

>>725005692
>Silent Hill HD remake with the comic sans Silent Hill Ranch sign.
It's worse than that.

>>724999404 (OP)
You do have access to the original game. PS3 emulation was created specifically for demon souls.

>>725000067
>I 1-shotted almost all of them
You first-tried them. One-shotting an enemy means killing them in a single blow. This is a common mistake and I am tired of seeing it.

>>724999404 (OP)
Don't listen to uncles, Des remake is epic but wait for PS6 remaster, it's going to be even more epic, imagine ray tracing 8k and 144 fps with smell features and body type C DLC

>>725005935
Thanks. I'll be sure to try it. I just don't enjoy damage sponges, unless there's like a gimmick to them, like with the Tower Knight.

>>725007758
he's squishy to magic and some other damage type probably, demon's souls took that a bit more seriously you probably noticed with the lizardmen and skellies
