Anyone else wish that this was a remake and not a remaster?

[Goober Mensch]

Looking at the Demon's Souls remake, it boggles me at how good it looks, plays, and sounds. Looks like actual love was put into it right? Then we're sitting over here on PC with a game that looks, sounds, and plays the same as it did 9 years ago with a few changes. Imagine how much more amazing this game could have been in something like the Dark Souls 3 engine. Pains me to think what it could have been. By no means am I saying this is a bad game, I loved this game when I first played it and I still (kinda) do.

Demon's Souls is not a remake either, technically, but a remaster.
And ye, i damn wish Bluepoint wouldve gotten the Job to do the Remaster for DS1 but instead Fromsoft decided to be cheap and outsource it to a garbage company so we got this money ripoff.

Not to say that Bluepoint did a perfect Job on Demons or anything, as there are still a ton of things that could have been improved on, but hey, it's a solid, amazing game they delivered plus a secret or two.
Also, who could not be in love with that insanely beautiful Moonlight Greatsword.

So you want something to be remade with the same results as something that's going to be a launch day game for an exclusive console that costs 500 bucks?

k



Also people are still not happy, I've read many griping that it should have been a free release with the system launch lol

[Castyles]

The Prepare to Die edition is better because you can mod the ♥♥♥♥ out of it, apparently, without worrying about a ban.

The remaster was just a weak cash grab. Nobody asked for it.

And Demon's Souls IS a remake. They overhauled everything, from graphics to lighting and animation. Besides, they butchered the entire soundtrack and got rid of the best glitch of the game involving Stockpile Thomas while keeping ♥♥♥♥♥♥ path-finding issues intact. What a load of crap.

Yeah. The remake for Demon's Souls looks 10x better than this remaster or even Dark Souls 3 for that matter. I really don't see a negative in this especially since the remake for Demon's Souls has been received pretty well.

I bought Demon Souls and Dark Souls on PS3. They were good, and I enjoyed them quite a bit.

I also have Remastered and PTD editions here on Steam. I have DS2&3 although I don't care for either. I do feel its important to support artists, and studios how I can so From Software is on my list that deserve support to the point of buying DS2, DS3 while not liking them very much.

Back to this specific topic, both DS1 versions are good. I don't want them redone. There is no need for it. Do DS2 if you want the dueling, and DS3 if you crave faster combat.

The urge to get everything polished up to match new gaming styles just negates why the game was important in the first place.

Demons Souls isn’t a remake. They updated the graphics and sound, but the core gameplay is identical to the PS3 version. So, it’s just a really fancy remaster.

Clearly nobody understands the difference between a remaster and a remake.

Some don't.

Some do.

I think DS1 can get a remake for the PS6 or Xbox Serious XYZ 2025 edition

This Dark Souls is a remaster because it only got a graphical treatment. Everything else remained untouched.

Demon's Souls, however, along with the updated graphics, got new items, a new secret area, a new soundtrack, new effects, new animations, new character creation, new menus, new voice-acting and new item drop rates. It is a remake but with the story and ♥♥♥♥♥♥ glitches untouched.

THIS is what a remake is. Which is why it's called the Demon's Souls REMAKE. I swear some people can be more blind than an actual blind person sometimes.

I also love how people went away from the original topic of the post to arguing whether something is a remake or a remaster.

No point in dicussion since neither Fromsoft nor Namco cares

Remember, they even forbid studio responsible for Remaster(not Fromsoft) to change and improve more things. Just remember that

Well said, and likely it is the most important point.

Not true... In the Dark Souls Remaster you have added bonefires, and now you can consume bulk amounts of souls which wasn't possible before. There were also changes made to the multiplayer such as increased player count from 4 to 6, nerf to healing item usage, and even a nerf to the consecutive summoning of phantoms when in combat.

You can find an overall breakdown online, but Dark Souls Remaster wasn't just a visual re-work.

The game is fine in the current state.
Slap texture mod from nexus, add ds3/bloodborne style target lock mod and you already have half of the remake for free.
The purist that hate remaster can do the same with PTDE.
The only good thing that ds 3 engine can bring to the table is omni directional rolling. What else? Better effects, slightly better animations, eh not really worth it.

I'd prefer people working on new stuff rather then rehashing old.
