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.

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.

No it is not fine...
It's the Bethesda syndrom, give half finished game and let community fix it

They did not bother to update all the textures, same streched textures are still present, and don't get me started on that glorious lava texture
Omnidirectional rolling IS A MUST in 2020

Fromsoft is rehashing same ♥♥♥♥ since Demon Souls :)

side note: btw I did not spend 20$ on a game to download mods for it and then enjoy the damn game

Let's hope they are diving in uncharted territories in Elden Ring (it it exists lol).

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.

You are factually wrong. Demon's Soul is a remake

Then why does it play EXACTLY the same as the original? You can’t be that blinded by pretty graphics, can you? Literally the same game, shinier paint. Remaster.

They even used the same code as they updated the graphics.

Oooh, which texture mod are you referencing?

[Mr. Oibyr]

DSR received a new bonfire(Catacombs), the ability to change covenants at bonfires, better matchmaking(fewer twinking scenarios) and something else I can't remember.

Think of a remake as: Andrew Garfield's and Tom Holland's Spiderman
A remaster: every 70s and 80s sci-fi movie that got their special effects improved when they were released on DVD.

You are really underselling how much work goes into "shinier paint." The graphics were remade in their entirety, that's a pretty big portion of the game that was remade. It sits between a full remake like RE2 and a remaster like Dark Souls.

Ah, it’s hard across text to convey. I think the graphics are stellar, though they really dropped the ball with the sound design. I digress, what they did with the graphical update is amazing, but the game doesn’t feel remade. It’s the same (mostly janky) AI with a fresh coat of paint.
