Let's talk Demon's Souls.
And unlike the other thread, I don't care about the lack of raytracing.
I want to hear all of your opinions good or bad. Nitpick away, I have a few of my own.

the remake? literally not possible on Zig Forums
also I like the red shit on him now. if he's the demonic representation of a regular knight he should look kinda evil so red instead of the original blue works
Asher Evans
art style, music and animations bad(
Adrian Miller
I hope they keep the laughing for the Tower Knight theme

Why is Penetrator's sword covered in black and red energy? It looks all jagged. Wasn't the point of the Penetrator was that his sword was a huge penetrating weapon? How can he penetrate anything with all these spindly bits sticking out?
In the original, his sword was completely smooth and gleaming blue.

Its a reference to Cainhurst blood techniques
Bloodborne takes place hundreds of years after Demon's
Parker Taylor
why does everything look like it's stylized like a cg cartoon?
Aaron Smith
>spindly bits sticking out
Are you dumb? You can clearly see the sword in the OP and it doesn't look jagged.
Brandon Bennett
I think it looks great and I'm really excited to play it. The only thing I take issue with is the pre-order/deluxe edition shit.

Unironically SOUL vs. SOULLESS
I can't understand why the fuck they changed the effect on his sword. What possible reason could they even had to do this? It's not even "make it good or worse" it's just entirely different for no reason.
Jordan Martin
looks like the Crash Bandicoot remake team made Demon's Souls

the lore
Parker Scott
I'm no 3D artist. But as a 2D artist, my eye tells me that they used the wrong specularity. They went with soft specular lighting here, when it should be hard, in order to give the skin/scales more of a wetness. The soft specularity is what makes things look like claymation.
Jack Lewis
>he demon so it has to be red and edgy xD
shut the fuck up nigger
Christopher Price
Are you dumb, I clearly said that the sword was covered in black and red ENERGY. It makes the sword appear jagged, because the sword is practically black itself. It doesn't have that clean, purposeful straight edge meant for penetrating. It's just generic red miasma for extra edginess.

>retard just belches out "da lore" as if Fromsoft originally got their own lore wrong and didn't make it some random red misty shit on accident
Isaiah Parker
havent played demons souls in years and dont even have a ps3 so im hype, when i did beat it i missed a lot of things too like yuria so its going to be kinda fresh
Nathaniel Miller
raytracing is overrated and not worth the compute expense
Jaxon Lee
>got their own lore wrong
they do that all the time, what are you trying to imply here?
Lucas Ward
Other 2D artist here looks hella sharp on all edges even the textures of dragon skin so it looks flat combo with lighting and other factors and straight on images like this look flat almost
Carter Hughes
Why does magic look somehow lamer than before.(which is pretty hard to do)
Rather than wave your wand, and conjure the magic in the air, you now PUNCH the wand forward, and the magic emanates from your hand.
Also, what the hell is with the sound it makes? They made magic sound like a sci-fi effect. Like a starship firing its laser cannons.
Nolan Bell
>What possible reason could they even had to do this?
His armor is extremely decorative with red cloth, the ground is covered in rose petals, and the bloody sword looks beautiful. They're trying to make him look like an elegant knight demon. It doesn't look like the original, but its a good design.
Charles Morales
you lorefags are insufferable
Aiden Cruz
Other 2D artist here, I dunno guys looks fine to me
Charles Young
>Rather than wave your wand, and conjure the magic in the air, you now PUNCH the wand forward, and the magic emanates from your hand.
You're thinking of staves in Dark Souls. Demons Souls always had that wand animation.
Colton Taylor
The main problem I have is that they are changing a lot of details for seemingly no reason. The tone is completely different and honestly ruined. Just compare the Flamelurker footage from DeS PS5 to the original. The old design looked like his skin had melted off, especially on his face. His grunts sounded less threatening and more just like he was in constant pain. The music like in most of DeS wasn't bombastic and loud, it was quiet and kinda somber, even for a challenging spectacle fight like Flamelurker. The PS5 Flamelurker looks like a Wow demon with a boring chitin exterior like so many other demon designs from the west. His grunts have now turned more into generic angry roars and the music is now bombastic and loud choir shit that we've heard hundreds of times before. Its missing all of the little details that literally are what make Demon's Souls worth playing even to this day. Don't even get me started on the new Maneater design. Its like they couldn't decide if they wanted to make a remake or a reimagining.

>bububut the lore
you people will whine about anything.
What's the lore excuse for just picking up your bloodstain not letting you become human? The crestfallen even tells you to go find your old body. Where does the new body come from?
You don't know because it doesn't make any fucking sense.
Ian Walker
Red swirling miasma is NOT elegant.
Mason Morgan
It looks elegant in the gameplay. The arena also looks a lot better than the original, and now he'll actually have a theme.
Julian Johnson
From what I can tell it's some sort of rose theme they added to the knight, honestly it looks like shit.

>flamelurker is supposed to be sad and somber! you're supposed to be crying for this ugly giant flaming muscle man that's crying in pain! oh my isn't this just the saddest thing you've ever seen!

They changed it ?!
Jace Ward
Oh you're right, my bad. I forgot. But also, you're kind of wrong.

The animation was more of a flick or a whip. Hand raised to conjure, and then thrown forward to fire. While the remake pulls the fist back at the hip, like he's punching. I still like the original version better.
Owen Bell
Nathaniel Fisher
Personally I like the changes i've seen and heard
As long as all of the voice actors come back it should be fine. I'm pretty sure they got Evetta, and Yuria's actress has been in almost every soulslike game so they will for sure be back. Probably Patches too. I have ONE Complaint: I can't pre-order a PS5 because it's sold out everywhere.
You know if you don't like the changes you can always play or emulate the original so a lot of this feels like sour grapes because there's no PC version. Too bad, no Lore Friendly Thomas the Tank Engine replacing the Dragon boss.
Tyler Walker
No it didn't. Look how jagged the energy makes his sword appear. It practically looks like it's covered in thorns, like what's-his-butt from Dark Souls.
