@@theblackbaron4119 Yeah it’s crazy the massive difference between these two. It’s disappointing that FromSoftware doesn’t invest in a new engine. They’ve been using the same outdated engine for feels like decades at this point, and often take the easy way out with animations by reusing a lot of them. I’m sure Elden Ring will be great, and at least they’re finally addressing performance issues, but it would have been nice to see the game feel like a brand new thing.

[@theblackbaron4119]

@@xikaryo6735 Yeah, also they cannot let go of their reoccurring gag characters. If you didn't know "Patches the unthethered" is going to be an optional boss in ER. From needs to let go and actually do something unique Instead of attempting to "replay their own tunes" for the nth time. DS3 was supposed to be a best off the previous souls games. Except they removed all interesting mechanics. Hollowing didn't matter, creating bonfires was taken out. It's embarrassing how often they come up with decent concepts and the upper management completely fails to slot enough time for development. Ds1 was half-assed , ds2 was downgraded because of console limitations and DS3 was gutted from its actually interesting mechanics. Let's hope they didn't half ass elden ring for once.

[@xikaryo6735]

@@theblackbaron4119 Agreed with everything you said. Dark Souls 3 was literally a lazy retread of Dark Souls 1, but more linear. The level design was seriously lacking. I think it had good bosses and great OST, but it didn’t feel so good to play, it felt cheap. They tried to make it feel like Bloodborne for some reason, but it was nowhere near as good for me. They’ve yet to do something as legendary as the Tower of Latria again. Bloodborne was the only one that truly hooked me after Demon’s Souls. Even Boletaria 1-1 outclasses everything they did for Dark Souls. Anor Londo looked pretty, but I never found it interesting. I don’t think making Elden Ring open world was a good decision. Open world games tend to lack immersion, and they feel more random than anything. I played the beta. Same animations, same movement, sound design isn’t so good, boring designs for regular enemies.. Meeting a dragon used to require actual progression and work, and now it’s like oh, there’s the random dragon boss on the map. Exploration doesn’t feel rewarding in Elden Ring. Everything feels randomly placed, which is the problem I have with open world design. I’ve played so many open world games, and Elden Ring hardly feels like it’s doing anything new. The level design is part of what made the Soulsborne games special.

[@xikaryo6735]

@@theblackbaron4119 I didn’t know about the Patches thing either. It doesn’t really make sense for him to be in Elden Ring, I’m really over the fan service. How’d they even convince GRRM to put that character into this world? They act like they can’t come up with a new character to take Patches’ place for the Elden Ring games. But I guess in a way, Patches is that weird mysterious character that somehow just finds a way to end up in every fantasy world FromSoftware makes, due to all the knowledge he has gathered about everything. I just don’t like that this also basically confirms Elden Ring exists in the same universe as the Souls games and Bloodborne, which already creates tons of nonsensical implications and major plot holes.

[@Sykroid]

The real reason I got into the souls series in 2009 was God's Wrath (6:56.) In this incredibly realistic, medieval game where every action took stamina, being a knight was weighty and challenging. I saw gameplay and thought it was so grounded. Weapons bounced off walls. Movement was slow and methodical. Healing itself was a struggle. And it all had dull colors very uncharacteristic of a fantasy game. But then, I saw a video of someone using a miracle in this incredibly realistic world. In an invasion, a player knelt down to pray, and then a loud shockwave of invisible force destroyed every object in the room and killed both of his opponents. In a world where everything was grounded, someone broke the rules and did something no realistic knight ever could. Even rolling and blocking took valuable stamina, but this guy obliterated everything without touching it. It was fantastic. It was abstract. And I loved it. So I got Demon's Souls, and since then, everytime I play a new souls game my first character uses miracles lmao

I wonder if the developers of the new version at least sat down and discussed things before they made the changes.

[@gtafan110010]

Most effects have improved in the remake. I don't mean graphically, but when it comes to their tells to the player. They have more distinct animations and plenty of them have clearer effects that the original didn't have. But I do have 2 nitpicks. Firstly, i think it's a shame that the remake removes colour of the weapon effect spells such as curse weapon and light weapon. Like yeah, they still have an effect on them in the remake, but those are far less clear. In pvp situations those clear purples, yellows and what not give you a great indicator of what someone is using. The new effects simply aren't as clear. That sucks. It could even be solved if, for example, the remake cursed weapon left behind a purple trail effect when you walk with it and swing it. The best of both worlds. My second nitpick is the removal of some sound effects. Poison, acid and death cloud have so much character in the original. The screams made it clear those spells were deadly. They really shouldn't have removed that sound. Additionally, the effects are now less clear too. In a way I like that poison cloud is now green instead of purple. But they shouldn't have made acid cloud green too. Now they are difficult to distinguish.

[@commandernomad2817]

You should have done this comparison where there was grass in the ground. One of the best improvements made to the visuals of the spells are is that they project actual physical force out into the world. Like the grass will be blown away from the spells affects.

Insane how I come back 3 years later and the graphics on this game are still top tier

[@KirkWilliams300]

May I ask, I have all the move sets for the weapons on PS3, would you want that video as well for doing a moveset comparison? All I ask is credit for the PS3 footage.

[@1stguard541]

Yes, thank you very much. Of course I will put the source

[@1stguard541]

Can you record R1->R2 ? Because in remake some weapons like katana R2 and R1 after R2 has different moveset

[@KirkWilliams300]

@@1stguard541 I recorded all the weapons that had a distinct standing, rolling, or backstep/running r1 to r2 transitions on the ps3 version. Some in the remake are added (like the katana 1h and 2h standing r1-r2 or ultra gs 2h standing r1-r2) but removed others (like all rolling and backstep/running r1-r2). If you need me to record certain ones even if they don’t have unique animations I can do so. I will email you the link in a few hours when I get off work.

[@1stguard541]

I think just R1, R2, roiling R1, backstep R1, Normal R1 and R2 is fine. Oh when you record R1,R2 can you do 2 swing?

Props to the audio team on both versions. Some of the spells sound so otherworldly.

[@Shocefire]

simply stunning

[@SleepyMatt-zzz]

I know that the sound effects they used for the original were especially stock sound effects, but why did they make the spells in the remake sound like basey sci-fi sounds?

[@Hikarmeme]

Lol what are the sound effects in the new game. It sounds like Halo not a souls game.

[@MrFour4th]

love the cloud cast on ps3, those screams are awesome

[@mattwcook9127]

I think the my biggest problem with the remake's spells is that their sound effects don't match up with the rest of the games anymore. You could cast a spell/miracle in Demon's Souls, and then its equivalent in Elden Ring, and it would have a similar sound. Feels like Bluepoint thought they "knew better" when it came to the remake, rather than respecting the original. This isn't even the worst thing about the remake, but it's a good example

[@tameflames]

They tried too hard to make them sound "cool"

[@mrheherdisruptor8975]

The original Demon Souls looks like a dream sometimes.

[@himanshuwilhelm5534]

Sounds like iron man, or a transformer. Do they use nanomachines to cast spells?

[@knuckleheadwestwind3585]

Imagine playing pvp against a miracle build in the original, you could rarely even tell what spell is being casted, whether it’s a buff that you can punish, or god’s wrath.

[@doc1439]

Absolutely great graphics but I have to say I dislike the new spell sounds. The fire doesn't even sound like fire it just sounds like another spell, also the spells in ps3 demons souls sound similar to ds1 2 and 3 spells but still have their own sound but ps5 demons souls spells just sound like a pulse rifle from cod or something.

[@catarro8045]

Ds1 2 and 3 spells sound like demons souls spells, demons came First*

You can notice DS Remake wasn't make by FromSoft 'cause: 1) the character moans while casting 2) the sound effects are different (and even the originial ones are still used in Elden Ring) 3) The cast animations are different and there's variety

[@rhapsody5065]

I miss the golden glow for magic/light weapon and the violet glow for curse weapon. I kind of feel like changing that effect takes away a bit of the uniqueness the game had compared to Dark Souls

[@melb3mel]

a lot of the upgrades here are better in a technical sense but aren't very faithful to the og game, namely with the audio. something about the sound effects in the remake just don't do it for me, they sound overdone for what the effect actually is. same with the music, it's not bad by any means but a lot of the original atmosphere and charm of the original tracks was lost in favor of making everything epic and grandiose

[@mwperk02]

@@melb3mel I personally love all the vicious sounds you make when getting the parry and backstab animations the Daggers back stab in particular I can swear I hear the enemy spine cracking.

[@weaverquest]

All those weapon buffs in the og look like the same glow effect with different colors which is also the case in Dark Souls series so I don't see how that made DeS unique. I personally think the light weapon effects that actually lights up everything around and curse weapon blood effect that the character gets by cutting his hand makes each one much more unique and really cool to look at in the remake.

[@cazat7005]

I kinda dont get why some ppl think like: Demon Souls : DeS Remake Is the same equivalent as Dark souls 3 : Elden Ring Like, the demon souls remake, well, is a remake. And it's not like elden ring is an overhaul of ds3. Plus, the animations for DeS were not of quality compared to ds3. So basically, there's little to change in ds3 animations compared to DeS. And from what I've heard, different ppl made the remake.

[@asdfjkl361]

all the sound effects in the remake sound tinny and compressed like they were recorded through a podcaster's microphone

[@Yes_Indeed-w7t]

The original PS3 version you can hear gravelord Nito when casting the clouds

[@theblackbaron4119]

What you probably meant to say was that they reused the casting sounds for poison in ds1 because ds1 is a recycled asset game due to the rights they lost for demon souls.

[@devilsbossa]

@@theblackbaron4119 damn bro, you're so mad that they reuse assets from their previous projects to save development time as if they killed your family. it's not that serious, go outside, touch some grass. you'll be fine.

They literally said they wanted the game to look "better" in their own way cause original style was outdated.

Damn, they all sound like lasers in the remake. They really like that distorted synth sound

[@strangewolf1261]

Honestly love the Animations for Magic in Demon Souls (Admittedly more so the Remake) WAY more than the rest of the Souls Saga. It has this... Sort of nonchalant simplicity to it that just makes it feel like Magic is... just a LOT less ceremonious in the world of Demon Souls. Like the way we just TOSS UP the Homing Souls Arrow like throwing a catch ball! It's a lot more otherworldly imo... like anyone can do Magic very easily & it is commonplace ya know? More so than the rest of Souls at least.

[@tehSunBro]

Which makes sense lore wise, as that was what basically happened when Allant stole and unlocked the soul arts. Made it possible to easily learn magic.
