Demon's Souls Remake - Storm King Boss Fight (4K 60FPS)

[@maximiliansinigr3505]

The atmosphere of this boss is surely one of the best in the Souls series. The massive size of it (so huge it literally shields you from the rain), the absolutely gorgeous sound design which really makes you feel like you're fighting a kaiju, and last but not least, his epic theme.

[@darkslayer37]

Cant lie,this gives me goosebumps

[@moenibus]

the word "literally", is completely unnecessary. learn your language, muppet

[@Trainer_Red.....]

He basically is a kaiju

[@theonlyMoancore]

Won't even lie, this is the only boss in the game I'd be terrified of fighting irl

[@Moonscentedhunter]

Yea bro, I played this on acid and it made me fall in love with the theme and storm king. It felt realistic af. The controller and 3D headset just enhanced that experience

[@gamegenes]

7 minutes of eargasm, whoever designed the sound effect deserve a raise! Probably most beautiful and scariest boss in the game

[@dinorex3464]

The roar at the beginning of the fight is spine-curdling. Imagine seeing that thing suddenly gliding towards you in the middle of a storm. It's terrifying.

[@colinc6748]

God these things look and sound majestic AF. Feels almost criminal to kill them. Even if they are demons. Gives me more appreciation for all the references to storm ruler and the Storm King in later FromSoft games. There's variations of storm ruler in your fight against Yhorm the Giant in DS3 and The Serpent King in elden ring. As well as this location being referenced again in Elden Ring with Stormveil and the implication from Stormhawk Deenh's ashes of the Old King of Stormveil being the source of the "true storm". There's also "The King of the Storm" in DS3, as the stormdrake the nameless king uses as a mount. Just very cool to see FromSoft keeping certain motifs across their games (e.g. Darkmoon Greatsword, the fog, etc), loosely connecting these otherwise stand-alone universes they've created.

[@EhurtAfy]

Thanks, I believe this is now the best recording on KZbin for this fight. I've replayed the game just to experience this battle again which is not the quickest task

[@lucasgomes3251]

The atmosphere and sound design Are so cool

[@relton66]

Love how in the first phase, you can actually see the Storm King circling over you, watching you. Probably hoping his troops kick your ass. He only attacks you once he sees your kicking his troops' ass.

Tbf, this game was already PlayStation exclusive to begin with. Same with Bloodborne. I remember playing the OG Demon’s Souls when I had my PS3, and I was 19 experiencing this. Now I’m 25 & can’t wait to see this boss in action, even if it’s exclusive to one console. It was already gonna stay PlayStation exclusive, so not a lot can be done about that.

[@eg2159]

Say what you will about the remake but the sound design is incredible. These creatures sound so otherworldly and it’s so out of tone compared to the rest of the game where you’ve mostly been fighting bipedal humanoid enemies. Definitely my favourite boss in the game due to atmosphere alone

I played through the original a bit ago and I can say that while the storm ruler is still cool it lacks 2 things compared to the original. 1. The obvious epic moment of the original compared to the graphics and the age if the game. 2. The absolutely insane punchiness, while it still is punchy, it's still nothing compared to the original punchiness.

[@De4d4TheRest]

the sword clashes are very unimpactful, is that to achieve accuracy with the og? or did they change it to that and it still sounds lack luster? rest of the sfx is insane though

You said it! The fact that this game looks better than a game using the same engine & graphical fidelity as DS3, tells you all you need to know. If I’m gonna be honest, both the graphics & story in the remake are better than anything Elden has to offer. I definitely see Elden as more “quantity over quality,” which is not usually a good thing.

[@Aphex93]

​​@@GreatAltruistGamingyou forget the fact that Elden Ring has a) no real load screens and b) is a single huge almost continues map. Of course a game like Demons Souls can and will have better visuals since those areas are not nearly as huge as Elden Ring. That is the tradeoff with a seamless map. You can't compare instanced areas to a huge seamless map, you have to have tradeoffs, since you want many players to play the game and not struggle with performance
