Demon's Souls Remake

[Poneros]

Surprised to see there was no topic about it here! Just wanted to post this gorgeous HDR trailer.

I'm more excited for this than anything else. One of my most favourite games ever. It looks glorious.

£70 is quite dear though, especially for a remake

Can't wait.

If you finished Bloodborne through gritted teeth due to the repetition and grinding is this worth getting? Is it very different to Bloodborne? Gave up with Sekiro too so maybe not thinking about it though how different is it?

It’s slower, you can use shields and magic is OP. (Well, was in the original) It’s quite different really. Have you played dark souls?
There is repetition I guess, but you should get stronger and learn to breeze through old areas.

Whilst not exactly easy it is the easiest of the Souls games. I gave up on Sekiro as well.

The gameplay loop for all these games is the same - if you didn't like Bloodborne, which is arguably the best of them, then there is a strong chance you won't like Demon's Souls.

Demons souls is a little bit different insofar as it’s all based on a central hub and you warp to 5 different worlds, each with a few areas, from there.

I really wanted to like these games but I'm just too **** to get anywhere on them.

My fave Souls game.

The hours spent grinding using Soul sucker, to become crazy OP.

One of the best launch games ever for me. Its the main reason I'm so excited to get my ps5.

I was on the fence whether to go PS5 or XSX first then they announced Demon's Souls as a launch title. Don't think there's any game Microsoft could have had as a launch title that would have me more excited than Demon's Souls.

Yeah same. It looks so good and I absolutely loved the original. I love Dark Souls but nothing has given me the same sense of atmosphere as the first one. It's probably 10 years or so since I last played it, so this is as good as a new game for me. What Bluepoint have done looks immense. Can't wait!

Of both consoles (XSX and PS5) it's the only launch title that interests me and it's the only Souls game (inc Bloodborne) I've not played and finished, I've loved them all (except Sekiro as I didn't like the setting, same issue I had with Nioh, so didn't finish it).
I very nearly bought a PS3 when it fist came out on that console, but since then I haven't been able to bring myself to play it, hoping and waiting for a remaster, but now that its here I just can't bring myself to part with £70 for a game, so haven't ordered it.

 

[Plainsong]

£70 is hard to swallow but I just need to play it.

 

[monkeyspank]

Who pays full price lol. This is one I’m getting digital for sure. Even then, it’s not £70 using prepaid topup cards, more like 60

 

[McBain]

I do want but i'm going to have lots to play for the first few months post release, might pickup when it comes down a bit.

 

[R0B75]

It can be had for £59.70 if you buy the right top up cards online, but still... I think I want a physical copy of this.

 

[Plainsong]

Physical all the way. I'll pay a lot less than £70 for it after I sell it.
