Demon's Souls: Remake (PS5) - November 12, 2020

Interesting. Ok so it’s unique in that sense. The rest looks like what DS was built on. I’m excited.

As said, there’s a hub world with 5 levels. Completely separate area from one another. But each area is split into 3 sections and those 3 sections are all connected- you beat the boss of archstone 3-1 and it will lead you straight into 3-2 and the same with 3-3. In some of these areas you can see later parts early on, especially in the first zone where it’s you making your way from the city’s gates all the way to the king’s throne room which you can see throughout the whole zone.

Think they'll fix the atrocious droprate on pure bladestone?

[AoE]

I hope not.

Edit; Sounds like they changed it.;

“You know, the grinding is part of Demon’s Souls,” he said when asked about the Pure Bladestone. “You can’t take that away. We will never do that. But yeah, we have improved drop rates. And we have added some extra items as well to make it more varied what’s dropped sometimes, and some of those items are really cool. So check them out.”

pre-edit already answered it, but i'll leave in my original.

It doesn't sound like they're changing a lot of gameplay stuff. They're adding in a few ease of life changes such as 8-directional rolling, leaving in world tendency but making it easier to tell what level of it your at, but they've said they are purposely leaving "harmless non consequential" glitches. They're giving weapons new animations but they are keeping their attack speed and hit boxes exactly the same. Encumbrance is still in the game but theyre making grasses weigh more. Grains are also a completely new set of items they've added in, so.... who knows. Personally I think they'll leave it exactly the same.

“Our approach to this is we try and keep the core of the game untouched. With Demon’s Souls, that’s the gameplay, the logic, and the AI, and then everything else is stripped away."

“As long as the core remains, and we’re true to the original vision, then we feel comfortable adding stuff into the game,” Moore said.

I hope not.

I gained 60 something SL trying to get a single pure bladestone off that one skeleton, it's the only thing in the game I'd up the drop rate on, or introduce more sane means of farming it vs. killing skelly -> suicide off cliff right beside w/ grabbing your prior suicided souls -> run back & repeat.

but theyre making grasses weigh more.

PVP nerf if anything, because fuck 1-on-1ing someone who keeps chowing down the highest-tier grass if you don't manage to kill them in one go or wreck their gear with the scraping spear.

And then spend 90% of the game as a dried up husk.

[Kaisha]

Is this going to be the first Souls game to allow pausing? Because I can't see a way to do a proper photo mode otherwise.

Didn't this only start with DaS? I don't recall soul form in DeS changing your appearance.

They said the picture mode would be a pause.
And yeah, you're right. Huskinization started with Dark Souls.

Imagine getting a PS5 and a remake of one of the greatest games of all time... then deciding to play it like that lmao

Yikes

[Karbuncle]

I mean honestly I'd probably try that at least once for funsies.

[Celeras]

Well sure, but that video is clearly aimed at people who have never played before... complete with instructions on how to cheese the bosses necessary before you can glitch lol. I mean why even bother.

I mean cheat codes and engines always existed, because some people do like to use and abuse them. No point in trying to understand what fun they get out of that

[Tyrath]

Yo who called the fun police.

Different people enjoy different things. Let them.
