I never saw anyone talk about Hotshot Racing in this thread which is sad but they're releasing a DLC pack for it soon. For free. Which no fucker does anymore and therefore is deserving of praise.

4 tracks, new championship, new mode to play.

First look: Demon’s Souls character creator and Photo Mode

Photo mode implies you can pause right? That was always my biggest peeve in Bloodborne, I lost more then one good run at a boss when the doorbell/phone rang.

Yes, you can pause, but not while other players are connected. I don't remember if it just disables photo mode or if the world continues to run while you use it but it yields to the needs of networking if there's a conflict.

Definitely to some (not major) extent. I think it's pretty evident in what we have already seen. But...I'm ok with that? The original still exists, I'm actually sort of curious as to what some hyper polished, mildly more generic take on Demon's Souls will be like.

Maybe it's a pipe dream, but I do wish remakes would include basic ports of the original games with them so new players could have a frame of reference.

Some (all? one?) of the Halo remasters did this. Even let you toggle versions on the fly.

It's fitting because IIRC Xenogears started as a script for FF7 but was deemed "too dark" to be a FF game but they still made it as its own thing.

Yeah. That's kind of what is going to be divisive for some people I think. Demon's Souls is also notorious for a soundtrack that a lot of reviewers called bad, but a lot of people actually love it.

There's a campiness to the soundtrack sounding like something from a 70s Hobbit cartoon, the goofy looking faces of some of the bosses, the hilarious character creator. There's a sense of doom that stems from the darkness and washed out color palette. The world is supposed to be dead as poo poo. It looks like Bluepoint set out to "fix" all of that but it's not necessarily things that are broken.

That said, I don't mind for the reasons stated above, but I think it's going to be a harder sell for some of the people who started with Demon's Souls. Like, I played through that game 6 times before Dark Souls came out, so even if I have forgotten about half of it by now, the original art and sound direction is burned into my brain, and I'm constantly going to be comparing. I think this will be less of an issue with people who played it later on since it's probably less likely to really stand out in the Souls lineup.

I love Demon's Souls but DeS purists might as well be the most microscopic constituency in all of gaming. The remake looks great. It'll tide me over until ooooooohhhhhhhh elden ring brings the weird back into my life.

Does the ps5 solve the nonsense you have to go through with PS4 season passes? Where you have to manually purchase (for free) the season’s content as it comes out? Is it finally gonna be automatic?
