Demon's Souls 2020

The Good
- It has a right to exist. - Looks pretty. - Some welcomed inventory improvements.

The Bad
What was the point of it? - Not a single line of code has been changed. It means that not a single bug has been fixed. Every annoying mechanic or an engine quirk is still there. Maneaters are still in the game. - Music. Let's take the most unique sounding score in the series and make it as generic and bland as we can. It sounds more like DS3 though. With big orchestra and choirs and drums and other things. You like big orchestra, don't you? - Art direction has been changed. This is less outrageous than music, but still annoying. Same thing - no more atmosphere, more mindless insertion of color correction, 4K textures, blur, particles, etc. - Maybe i want too much, but devs had a perfect chance to win even people like me over, by restoring the Land of Giants, that has been cut from the original. Why, though, when it's enough to just massacre everything and sell that as a "remake"?

The Bottom Line
Don't encourage that. Just play the original on RPCS3 with 60 fps, it's very optimised at this point.
