Artorias, Ornstein, Ciaran, and Gough would be an awesome multi-boss fight

So it doesn't imply that this was a launch game 2 generations later??? Or Gavin is simply saying what the Supreme court says that human memory is flawed & changes overtime which it does. What about those of us who dont have PS3? We were just never supposed to experience Demon's Souls right?

I guess you never realized that PS3 had limitations did you

Yeah so they should have just made an exact PS3 game on PS5 & launched the PS5 with it & sold it full price. Or never allowed anyone else to experience your favorite game from your time in your life. You guys are effing pitiful.

Please stop crying you wanted no one else to ever get to experience demons souls. Of course there's no biased your favorite game from your childhood, high school, college years or whatever the case was no biased at all. Just don't play the game man. They even made the combat the exact same. This is why there will never be a bloodborne remake the cry babies like you. Just simply don't play the game man. What the eff were they supposed to do make a carbon copy of the original & sale as the reason you should buy a PS5. They were only cleared to make this game because of the PS5 release & the game did it's job. Wtf do you want man unbelievable bro. Jeez Louis bro what the eff man. You cry baby ass dudes kill me.

Its not fun having to look up every damn quest to know how to do it

Meh he wasn’t that hard when I fought him

Final boss was very confusing but still good. I needed to google Consort because I was thinking so not great things were going on between them. Lol

I’m just seeing this video right now. Ratatoskr I watch your video relatively regularly and I have a sense of what you like in games from your comments. Look it wasn’t clear in this video, but there’s a possibility that you haven’t played Final Fantasy Tactics. If that’s the case, man, I don’t know how to put this with the appropriate level of emphasis. But FFT is a MUST MUST MUST play. Look I’d recommend it to anyone, but to you in specific, there are no better stories in videogames, and no better gameplay. I do think Elden Ring is the highest achievement of videogames as a medium, but trust me, FFT is somewhere in the top 3. It’s got divine gameplay that’s so deep I memorised the Zodiac to play better. And really, you can pick that game up with Nietzsche’s Genealogy of Morality and use the game to understand the book, it’s that profound. Anyway, what can i say, if you’re able to drop everything and play it! Cheers!

“That was one of the best game awards show ever” 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 “It was flawless” 🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴

They should allow to reload the ammo.

Making a remake, remaster of reboot (RRR for short) will always require interpretation, even if it comes from the original creators (and in big games in particular, which are the products of tens and sometimes hundreds of people, you can never get "all the creators" back). But in the case of the project being in the hands of fully different teams, it becomes an exercise on "exquisite corpse" art, where you must build upon the piece somebody else started. And exquisite corpse art is valid, in my opinion. And often expect RRRs to give me something different. To fix, or change, or interpret. Even if the result is inferior. We should not charge Bluepoint's arrogance and self assuredness in their approach to art, for the lacking responsibility from Sony to properly preserve the art trapped in their IP catalogs. Especially when it was Sony the entity that clipped Demon's Souls wings likely adoption by audiences at every step for years. The fact that the majority of people will never play the original in favor of the remake is on Sony. Any interaction with art, games especially, changes the piece. Fundamentally alters its form away from its intent. If you play Elden Ring online, turtles are labeled as dogs to the complete confusion of any newcomer, risking fundamental changes in the visage of landscapes and characters. Fort Haight, is Fortnite. I'm not trying to defend the logic of the changes- I hate the Bluepoint overtly "gory and disgusting" redesigns. The first time I saw Latria's ambiance changes I gasped at how mangled the vibe felt, but that's besides the point. You can make the argument that "how dare you believe you can do better than this other great creator", but I would propose the counter "how dare you tell an artists not to try to surpass the work of their pairs". Miyazaki gave us Latria. But Miyazaki also gave us Lost Izolith, and that was LATER. His designs are inspired, but now flawless, and we should not consider changing them as inherently wrong. Bluepoint didn't make a less inspiring Demon's Souls because they changed things. They did (in my eyes) because their sensibilities are a bit trait, thus exposing in sharp relief the arrogance intrinsic in handling someone else's art piece.

No one cares about your opinion , helldivers 2 is better than everything you have done in your live

As someone who has never played the game, I agree with you. Even the soundtrack is inferior. It's punched up, more bombastic, and yet it completely misses the point of the original.

The original is not as readily available to play as some people might think. New players to the series will know and hear about how amazing the original Demon Souls game was, how it launched this entire genre, how it was the seed that grew the tree of Elden Ring and all the amazing games inbetween, they will play the remake because of how eminently available it is and assume it is a faithful remake and miss out on the original's true grandeur. They might play it and think, "wow, what was all the hype about? It's not THAT great." A person would have to go hunting for an opinion like this that truly explores the differences between the two versions. It is filtering out an honest and unknowing group of people who just want to experience the magic but will be deprived of it because of the existence of this remake.

Nah, it's fine.

As a newer Elden Ring player that's barely experienced in souls games - I'd say yes. I currently run bloodhounds fang 1 handed with a no skill shield and my general goal is to find the opening for heavies and break their posture and get those sweet crits

2:27 what irks me about this moment is the clear misunderstanding of Demon's Souls' strengths and weaknesses. The gameplay, logic and AI...that's the things you wanted to fix in a remake! Now they clearly got the gameplay right, QoL have made it flow better and made it more accessible to newer souls fans, but the game's AI is very weak and prone to breaking in regular gameplay, my first playthrough, Maneaters decided to break after a grueling 6 minute fight, which forced me to quit out and try again. So they kept some of the worst, jankiest and poorly programmed moments, but chose to take away and change what was most loved and unique about the game, it's art direction and feel. I'm very much thankful that the remake exists, as it allowed me to experience Demon's souls for the first time, changed and made worse as it is, but I definitely think a better developer could have been chosen for it.

I don't know what it is maybe it's because lies of p was my first souls like including the actual dark souls games. It's because of lies of P that I went out and got the dark souls games and sekiro and elden ring. But honestly I found lies of P to be the easiest of them maybe because I learned it first.

1:20:00 well this aged well

I do see some of your points and get what you're saying, but I feel like alot of this stuff really wouldn't matter to the vast majority of people. The changes in sound, and enemy design is stupid since it does change the message the viewer receives quite alot, but things like building design, the overgrown plant life, and statue I really don't think completely matter to the larger audience. Sure to someone who really pays attention it might effect something, but you generally don't even see lore youtubers touch on more minor things like plant life in videos. Well had that statue been of someone important to the lore I think it would've been a major problem, but since it seems it isn't from what you said I don't really see it as that huge of an issue. For example the statues, both built and broken relating to the warriors of sunlight covenant scattered throughout the series. Even before the nameless king was revealed there had been numerous theories about that representing Gwyns first born, if blue point were to remake other games from the series and changed that statue that'd cause major conflicts and really go against what was being built since it was used almost as foreshadowing for one of the biggest mysteries in the series that wasn't solved till the series conclusion. I do understand that most of your reasoning behind your issues with the statue comes from them just changing something that wasn't theirs to change, but I don't think that big of a deal.

I'll never understand why people like to continously fight the same boss 40 times in a row. I thought video games were supposed to be fun. I wish I liked these games but I severely hate them.

You have to give us the reaction cut for the new Shadow of Colossus game

Just got my copy!

I think Bluepoint has no interest in remaking games. They clearly want to create their own IP. I don’t mind remake but I think having the original demon souls readily available on the playstation store would help.

Just started playing, and I definitely ran into this with Hyetta, who ended up being dead before I even finished stormveil castle (I think because I accidentally stumbled my way into liurnia early?)

I'm here to say that I love the remake. I have played shit ton of it and no matter what hard core fan boys say I see no point for anybody to pic old version rather than the new one. These experiences plp have with these games is just impossible to bring to any remake etc. It's so subjective experience that if something is different, even small details, it's not the same anymore. Even if it's something like quality of life improvements plp complain about it. It's bit ridicilous.

51:15 zio was so right about an elden ring spin-off

8:43 there's no difference between that and starting over, it's literally the reason why BotW is in the far future, it's essentially a reboot that maintains the good story beats and characters and does fan service through reference

honestly, apart from the 3 timelines general multiverse (which came to be almost accidentally), Zelda never had much lore to begin with, the games are essentially a single game plot-and-atmosphere driven experience. Said "lore" is at max trying to fit together the main story of each game that was conceived separately

5:10 yeah but the master sword existed before ganondorf got the triforce in ocarina of time already, so you can't compare master sword with the triforce like that

After going back and forth with remake and original, I came to conclusion that you are correct. Bluepoint butchered the game.

I cannot say that I disagree with your opinion. Not really! BUT! All your assertions don’t include arguments to prove that the remake is OBJECTIVELY bad. I do like your rationale, I really do, but it is rather SUBJECTIVE… I remember all the players who defended dark souls 2 saying that it is the best of the series in spite of all the (again) OBJECTIVE opinions of the players who used critical thinking to state otherwise. I remember the hate (yes! the hate) the dark souls remastered was overwhelmed with… One could say that the lullaby you have mentioned is used as a contrast, a dichotomy if you will, to magnify the feeling one gets in the prison of “hope”, couldn’t they? You can say that creating games is art (as a gamer, I concur) but I do not think that we should focus on that. Maybe hide and seek could have had better add-ons (I am jesting). As a final thought, awesome job with the video! I admire your passion. Cheers, friend!

I only summon when faced with multiple bosses. ( except ornstien and smaug because they were actually designed to be fought solo.) Remember that Miyazaki!? When dual bosses could be strategically separated. Also, stop designing it where they can spam ranged attacks that pass harmlessly through eachother’s bodies! Twin sanctuary guardians still give me ptsd. It doesn’t even make sense

Tzitzi-Ya-Ku is still a boring to fight stupid generic raptor though. Building a cohesive game environment is important but not at the expense of game play. Yet man world monsters are just atrocious. And I'd say ecosystem in monster hunter never contribute anything to the gameplay other than lore. A good eco system intertwined with gameplay mechanic done in game can be seen in rain world. You can use a predatory plant to kill your enemy, etc. In monster hunter they are always just a fixed animation which gets old fast. Anyone wants realistic monster ecology should go play monster hunter one and f themselves(by the game) in the meanwhile. In conclusion, anyone whining about game not being what they expect is quite pathetic. Stop whining and just don't play it, don't those ppl has anything better to do than whining?

I think I’ve seen videos from every other lore celebrity on KZbin now. This was the first video I’ve seen from you. I loved the extra spin you put on this. Very unique. I learned something new and the literature added so much ZEST! Wishing you and your channel all the success it deserves. Looking forward to the rest :)

the award statue needs to be something more video game-y, or maybe the winged lady can be holding a controller 😑

Everyone's entitled to their views Even if they're objectively wrong 🤷

Why I can’t put my hp level higher im stuck at lvl 17

Someone who understands me.

I was so confused when i started rise cause back on the 3ds. i used to play Monster Hunter, and i kept trying to find pick axes in mhr when we dont need them

Lies of P is better than bloodbourne. Anything is else is nostalgia

Ppl cry a lot. The remake is great. But It would be better if you had the 2 versions so ppl can choose wich tyo play

Marika’s rune is the Rune of Life, which fits at the top of the Elden Ring. The Rune of Death should be inverted and fits at the bottom of the Elden Ring. As above so below. Life and Death. There’s tons of images online showing the complete Elden Ring.

What hit me a bit was the jurors themselves. Usually it's just you, the witness, or the prosecutor going against each other, but with the juror, you have another layer to get through. But not only that, they, too, have a saying in something! Not just the summation, but also when the appropriate time is mentioned such as their professions! Or perhaps their expertise on something that could be relevant and added to what's going on. It felt like the world got bigger since you have multiple people interacting. There are some great moments where an interaction happened during the trial or when they needed to say something given on a circumstance. It felt nice that it's not just you and the prosecutor wanting to solve the case, but the common people as well

The problem of these "soulslike" games is that they don't invite new players that are not hardcore perfect. These games SHOULD have a difficulty setting - or the not so good players get pissed of having payed money for such "good looking" games with interesting worlds.

Thank you for this I actually saw another video that had pretty much the same exact strategy but this made it seem much more simple than that video so I feel a lot more confident in taking on this endeavor. I went through the entire breath of the wild without ever fighting a Lionel because I was so intimidated by them LOL plus I wanted to play this game so I got through it as quickly as I could without doing anything extra challenging😂

really great video and a ton of interesting points, even as someone that loves and replays the remake regularly.

Old video and all but I'm about 11 minutes in, just talking about Tower Knight and I feel some of the view here sounds more like misguided spite than anything else I actually played ONLY the original and I'm pretty mixed with everything I saw of the remake. Stuff like the Fat Officials is just egregious and the new OST is just awful whereas the original Demons' Souls still has my favourite one in all off from. So I agree 100% that they missed the vibe of Demons Souls SO HARD Where I think this gets a bit off the track though is in the interpretation of BluePoint's statements and the assigning of various feelings to them. I think a lot of what BP said makes sense, they're not wrong ideas. Take the TK thing, where they're talking about nostalgia fuelled memories. I think going from that to saying they're claiming "people are wrong to like the original" or anything remotely in that direction is pretty ludicrous; I'd argue that was a pretty lukewarm statement by them, nostalgia glasses ARE a thing, we all know, I don't think they're in any way disrespectful in implying that I also don't think they're arrogant or anything of the sort for wanting to look over the design of things. Part of developing games, especially targeting consoles, is that technical limitations are a huge part. How much of, say, Boletaria Castle having a plain blocky design is strictly an artistic choice and how much of that is finding a way to limit polygons and/or artist time? We can't REALLY know. This was a HUGE title for From at that point, it was a stretch and a half to even get this out the door, it started the long tradition of Souls games getting released in obvious and sensibly incomplete ways. So I don't think reimagining the aesthetics but now with access to much more modern hardware is this arrogant and grandiose statement. You play Demon's Souls and a lot of the places are pretty empty. So BluePoint adds a bunch of clutter in. This is just part of the process That BP then missed the mark and made some awful decisions and interpreted the original designs and intent in a way that did not resonate with the people who liked the the original is its own separate thing. It's just them messing things up because their sensibilities did not align. There's no need for "malice" here and I think the more interesting conversation is about how specific the general vision of From Soft is, especially in their weirdest titles like Demon's Souls or DS2, and how that specificity set them apart. An example I like from DeS is the Dragon God. Killing it in the original, with the scene and the music... that feels like a tragedy more than a triumph, and that puts you in an introspective mood as the game's praise about going forth and slaying demons rings ever so hollow Also: don't doubt aerial plants, they WILL take over real quick given the right conditions =) EDIT: I did finish the video afterwards and it didn't change the opinions expressed in the comment
