Demon's Souls is one of my favorite games ever, but there's no way I'm throwing all that money at its remake AND buying a PS5 just to play it.
Wtf?
So converted to dorra this game is 95$ in Yurop? What the fuck is happening here?

While the new graphics is technically a lot better, they messed up the tone of the original game, the remake looks too blue in some parts !

Too much visual clutter, wrong color grading, stupid sound effects. Next they will copy the constant monologues from the Horizon games.
Agree, although too much bloom can be even worse.

It's not necessarily a bad direction, it still looks good especially on a technical front, but the original has a better grasp on its atmosphere. It's like the Super Mario All-Stars remake of SMB3 vs. the original SMB3 for me all over again. The SNES remake looks better technically, but the NES original makes more creative use out of itself and helps give it character that has the remake by comparison seem more sterile and it attempts to mask this with adding in meaningless clutter.

Oh wow that looks a lot like DS3. Not sure I like that.
Also motion blur is trash.
Maiden in Black is still barefoot
Soul of the mind, key to life's ether.
Soul of the lost, withdrawn from its vessel.

It seems there is a bonus pre-order weapon - Reaper Scythe. So we will get new weapons in the remake it seems (I doubt they did only one).
Also, network co-op, from 2 to 6 players.

I'm gonna be ripping you losers a new one with that Reaper's Scythe. I will also subscribe to the Decade Pass and buy separately any grass DLC they release.
Changing tendencies is $.99 per step, right?

To be fair, DS2 had a preorder bonus too. Just some stuff that you could buy from an NPC later on.

They could add micro transactions to reset the crystal lizard spawns. (Though they probably removed the hard cap on their spawns).

I was really hyped for this, but now it's not coming to PC.
And no Nioh 2 in sight.

It's not just the color gradient, but the whole art direction has changed and it looks worse because of it. Everything about the remake comes across as some goofy, cartoony, magical medieval fantasy game as opposed to the grounded direction of the original game of a normal medieval kingdom that got enveloped in a fog that brought otherwordly magic; no, in the remake, it looks like fantasy is natural part of the world before the fog. Yeah, the original game lacked a certain ornate quality on purpose and maybe that looks boring for the folk at BluePoint who have shown that they remarkably missed the point.
