How much does the Demon's Souls remake differ from the experience of the original? I'd like to play the original, but don't want the hassle of setting it up if the remake is pretty faithful.
>>728912785It's the exact same game but with 8 direction rolling instead of four, a factual mechanical improvement. It has a worse art style. But you won't notice if you've never played before. Just play the ps5 version.
>>728912785Mostly equal gameplaywise but with better graphics. Essentially the same experience.
>>728912785better performance, better menuing, better ladder speed, better rolling it's basically the same though
>>728912785The original is really easy to set up now. Ps3 emulation works fine now and you need like one patch that is easy to apply. I emulated it earlier this year and had no issues.
The original had better ambiance, music, and very few better enemy designs that the remake missed the mark. But the remake looks more beautiful, combat feels crispier, and the character customization is better.
>>728912785Some of the enemies are redesigned, losing their edge. Sure someone will post the fat noble image.
>>728912873>just ignore the most important part being butcheredfpwp
>>728913187You are a mentally ill, miserable retard.
>>728913209I'm actually pretty happy knowing I have better taste than you.
>>728912785It's like looking at a redrawn and "enhanced" Mona Lisa instead of the original or at least a decent reproduction because the remake features sloppified visuals as opposed to something unique with lots of environmental storytelling the original had. Not to mention the ugly UI, unnecessary niggers, and generically epic music for every boss fight, including a shit golem.

its a 2009 game with a coat of ai tier paint. all of the reasons people find video games memorable have been striped out and liberally replaced by a team of american golems from california who dont have the creativity to make something original themselves.
A lot of Demon's Souls is vibe communicated through the world design. Everything is there with some justification in mind, from spooky red ghosts trying to kill you to people tortured to death in a mage's tower. The fog. The facemaks. The shadows.When it comes to this, it's an outright better game than Dark Souls. >Remakes are inherently difficult due to the subject matter being sacred in many ways. On this project especially, we examined and interpreted the subject matter carefully making sure that the core of the game remained intact while still putting our own personality into it. It’s a balance that I hope people appreciate and enjoy.Bluepoint sucks in principal. They don't even try to be faithful to what they're remaking.
>>728912785The whole ambience is fucked in the remake to the point its not the same experience
>>728912785At the sacrifice of art direction, you get:60fpsMuch better facial creator toolsThe ability to send your shit back to Stockpile Thomas in the Nexus at any timeBatch-repairing your equipment at a blacksmith rather than going through your stuff individuallyLess "floaty" falling physicsPeople still playing it online without having to emulate the original game in RPCS3 to play on private servers and arrange multiplayer sessions on ShitcordIt's just the better version of the game. The biggest hit in terms of art direction is the Fat Officials.Just play the remake, see you when I roll up in my Black Phantom mobile.
While I think autismos are usually too pedantic against remakes, latching over one arbitrary minor fault to invalidate the miriad of improvements they make, I think this is a case where they are actually right.Even if I were to be as kind as possible to the remake, I'd still say butchering the original soundtrack for le ebin modern soulshit generic orchestral choir shit is too much. If you were able to play it with dog's soundtrack then I could accept the case be made to suggest playing the remake If you want to know what I mean, try to listen to Maiden Astrea, Nexus and Intro tracks OG vs Remake. Westerners seem to hate actual melodies and baroque arpeggios in Vidya for some reason
>>728915025It's ironic that you're so autistic about the soundtrack that you are willing to overlook the much more egregious flaws.
>>728912785They removed a lot of the SOVL. When the original forced you to change rings just to carry your loot back to the nexus, that's was kino. The game didn't bend itself backward to accommodate your loot goblin tendencies. It made you put in the effort. The remake just lets you freely loot as you please and magically transports everything back to the nexus with no explanation, making it a way more casual experience.It also has tons of gameplay changes. There are new shortcuts, healing items are heavier, you can roll in 8 directions which buffs the dodge roll, which is soulsborne most brainless mechanic. The remake is an entirely different game.
Why do you care? You don’t know anything about the original so the remake will feel canon to you and you will love it

There are a different set of trophies in the remake with a few that seem to go against Fromsoft's guidelines. Two of them require online PS+, which help another player kill a boss or kill another player. While a main feature in mostly all of From's games, there has never been an achievement that requires to play online. Another set of trophies require the player to beat a boss a certain way. Tower Knight for example has the player to beat him without killing any archers. There's also another trophy that you get for crossing that bridge while dodging its arrows.
>>728915025Why would they even change it?
>>728912785Might as well just play Dark Souls of you believe >>728912873."It's the same game bro, it just looks and sounds different."
Archery is hilariously busted.
