One thing they did better in the remake is the readability through effects and some of the way the attacks are telegraphed. It's easier to pay attention to what the boss is doing, especially when the effects from an attack aren't flash banging a part of the screen. Or when the AOE is being marked more clearly by the effects of an attack.

[@ObsceneParadise]

I personally like a lot of the aesthetics of the remake, and the readability of what's actually happening is a big factor for me in that. Some of the old Flamelurker fight was straight up too bright to tell what's going on, and False King Allant's AoE would have been a lot more guesswork than the newer one with its nicely telegraphed whirlwind.

[@halosnova1604]

And if you're playing it on a ps3, and not emulating it. A lot of attacks like flamelurkers explosions, dragon gods fist (the one that punches at the hallway) armored spider fire, all make your frames take a vacation for a little bit. Plus, can't see anything

Its strange but I feel like the old demons souls has a better understanding and use of light and shadow. For example, the old Old Hero seems to radiate this strange divine light, The new Old Hero is the yellow man. To be fair this seems to change after this boss

[@cameroo52]

Agreed, it seems like the lighting in the remake's cutscenes doesn't really draw attention to the important parts of the shot. Instead it's more realistic and everything just sort of blends together. Dragon God is the worst offender imo.

[@johns783]

yea they used light so well, i think the remake added light to bring more attention to the detail they added, else it would look more muddied, which isn't what they were going for. sometimes it worked real well, other times the original atmosphere got lost. the valley of defilement swamp was a big one, you can see too easily and it's not nearly as creepy. the new old hero model is great, but there is certainly something to be said about that hazy light on the original that would have been great to preserve.

[@doomknight233]

One that really got me split is Fool's Idol. The remake environment looks better and has more appeal than the original, however, in the original when the camera zooms to her descending she's in-front of the woman depicted in the glass which makes you think "Oh is that her?" While in the remake the main focus just becomes her and doesn't really make you think about who she is because the background isn't depicting the image of her, just that she's another person you need to fight.

[@umukzusgelos4834]

Fools Idol twos iterations are also interesting because of the way each expresses it´self Classic Fool´s Idol has a very Doll like Quality, her face has a an expression that is neither angry nor happy, she just stares at you and mocks you with her laughter Modern Fool´s Idol can be quite agitated and contorts her face a lot more, while also feigning some benevolence at the beginning as she descend´s before giving you the stare of disapproval, overall she has a more cynical aura around her

[@paris-1911]

@@umukzusgelos4834 I'll personally prefer the old one, even if it was probably done out of graphical limitations. Seeing as the boss is quite literally supposed to be a puppeteer'd fake of the real Queen of Latria, the whole unmoving expression of, what is effectively a doll of the Queen, makes it more eerie to me. Plus, I just feel it fits with the name. "Fool's Idol." Like most who reside in Latria -- or the many who were locked up there -- they _foolishly_ worship a false Queen, but if they took a harder look... Then they might see something off.

[@dylanburston7453]

@Okay Egg Th Fools idol is meant to lure people into a sence of security before theyre taken by demons. In what way does the new design fit that description? It fundamentally changes the idols lore and purpose

[@dylanburston7453]

@@chestermicgun Her facial expression in the original is neutral because shes meant to represent the queen of latria and give people hope, which the old monk feeds upon. She is a puppet designed soely to give the tortured souls of latria hope, and draw them in before being kidnapped. You change her facial expression to something angry, then it creates a rift between her lore, and what is presented in game. The people of latria come to her to see a benevolant queen, not some rage filled witch, which she has now been made to look like. She is a trap. What sort of idiot is going to be hopefull when they see the fools idol in the remake? No one Fromsoft put so much effort into details for environmental storytelling. You change that, you change the whole meaning. Bolataria palace is a no frills norman castle for defensive purposes only in the original. In the remake, it has gothic spires, banners everywhere and gold. Its changed completely from a minimalist culture, designed for defences only to one that cares less about defense and more about presintaition. In latria, you find yellow cloth strips everwhere, which shows the old monks corruption of latria and rise to power. The player doesnt know this until the old monk is revealed in his yellow robes. In the ramake the cloth flags are red. So they lose all meaning

[@LemonCreature]

Yeah it's funny how they have this visual consistency in the Original and a lore explanation behind it, but then the remake he's a furry green zombie thing, the man centipedes are vaguely similar fleshy things but not furry, and then the gargoyles are just normal ass stone gargoyles. I will always find the Original looks far scarier. The horrific expression on their faces really sells the twisted experiment feel to me more than a placid flesh furry.

[@Some-person-dot-dot-dot]

Old Maneater looked terrifying. Entering his boss room you aren't able to quite clearly see his silhouette... only his demonic green eyes are visible. As those eyes rush towards the player they can't help but be slightly captivated by them. Then a huge swathe of fear overtakes you as he comes upon you and begins his assault. New Maneater looks like some stupid cartoon comedy zombie lion character...

[@MalphasMikaelson]

@@Some-person-dot-dot-dot "Then a huge swathe of fear overtakes you" It's a video game.. No one feels this way.

@@akatsukimi It's funny. Because if you look at some of the comments people that defend the original have similar takes but even contradict each other. Some say about bosses that they're too creepy in the remake, others say the old bosses had a more creepy feel which makes more sense for the game. The old Maneater looks like a really basic Gargoyle/Werewolf form but because they were limited they added hair to the Maneater but made it almost the exact same grey color as his skin so you could barely notice the hair. The new one if people paid attention has a very similar appearance but because of way better lighting and usage of color and added hair around the face it's suddenly not similar? Their bottom halves and even their arms are so similar only the remake Maneater actually did something cool where one arm got all that hair but the other almost seems like the hair and flesh is scraped off. I'm supposed to like the original Maneater more who has just an ugly human shaped form with hair attached that you can barely spot due to poor color usage and not like the newer design that added a bit more hair but kept the creepy werewolf look the original clearly wanted to go for?

Same with the dragon "god" the shaking camera gave a sense of weight and impact, and not some boss just existing. Plus, I feel in a small nitpick, a few minor uncanny valley details that made them so creepy/scary are missing. IDK what they are but it feels like something is missing.

[@GreenRatel]

I bet its purposeful. It focuses on a character. He just sits there mindlessly looking at fog because thats what he was made for. He doesnt care about the kingdom because he isnt a king at all. His entire purpose was to lead an army of demons and nothing else. I swear miyazaki fans would shit their pants anyway if „original” and „remake” were swapped.

Personally I disagree. Remaster Allant is looking out on nothing but fog (as the fog has consumed his kingdom, hence why there are no buildings in sight), fog is essentially what the land is consumed by with the arrival of the demons, or vice versa. It seems fitting that the false king should be looking out on the fog that created him, and that he wishes to consume the land.

[@ronicareviews]

Beautiful as the remake is (and it is utterly gorgeous), I kind of prefer the older art style of the game. I think it had more of a bleak atmosphere to it that I personally really liked and I think it served the game a lot better.

[@notaspider4084]

[@notaspider4084]

also the story & lore of demon's souls is nowhere near as sad or hopeless as that of dark souls, so there's really no reason that a drab environment serves it better. Let it be fantasy.

[@ronicareviews]

@not a spider eh, I have my preferences as all. I like a good bleak, depressing atmosphere for this sort of game and I personally felt it was a good choice for the original Demon's Souls and kinda missed it in the Remake as all. I'd disagree that it doesn't suit the lore, the backstory of Demon's Souls is literally the world and peoples very Souls are all being slowly devoured by literal Demon's and you've of course got places like Latria and the Valley, neither of which are particularly cheery places, not to mention a lot of the characters we meet have less than happy stories and fates but I can appreciate that after more than a decade, the bleakness can become tiresome for some.

I feel like horror games specifically can suffer from graphic upgrades unlike other game genres. The crispy 4K extra detailed monster is not going to be as creepy or scary as the rough, blurry partially dark version. The OG has a lot more uncanny valley vibes and dreadful atmosphere. The new one feels like real flesh and bone to a fault. The remake looks graphically superb and impressive but most redesigns feel less appropriate for the game IMO. Not knocking their work because all the bosses look great. This is my opinion for now may change later.

[@tycol322]

A good example I think is the storm king. In the original it has more visible detail, it had that sickening flayed flesh like tone but outside of cut scenes you can tell it's a product of its time where as in the remake it moves gracefully. Almost like it's swimming like a ray on film but it's lost that detail that made it so unnerving to me in the first place since it's hidden in shadow and environmental obscurity. Conversely the dragon king has the opposite problem with the remake showing too much detail by giving it too much lighting and highlighting too much where as the original whether through design or limitation held back lighting and gave you just enough to see what your eye working with while hiding enough to make wonder what else couldn't you see. Just my opinion

[@brothercadet1767]

@@tycol322 Correct me if I am wrong but are you saying you also agree the OG Storm King was better despite it having more lighting? That was my opinion as well if I am understanding I just did not bring up that exception because I thought it was just me. and did not want to sound like a hypocrite. I definitely prefer the unnvering yellow eye over the calming blue eye. It's details actually do work being shown as well for some reason. It is a great lovecraftian design. Felt like I was looking at a god. And you are right the remake is too smooth and loses its uncanniness despite the shadow. I also agree the new Dragon King also looks like a cool Final fantasy or monster hunter boss very cool but not unsettling in the slightest IMO.

@@deeepdish I respectfully disagree. it’s not nostalgia. I’ve had a hard look at my own biases affecting my thinking and I really don’t think this is that time. I believe it’s universal horror techniques that showed up more in the past due to technological limitations. I believe people are naturally scared of a situation or being that they have limited inadequate information on. It has nothing to do with my generation. Young or old, people are going to be more scared of the silhouette of a man down the street at night than the same man in the bright morning. The primal fear of the unknown is as old as the dawn of mankind way before us. Also whether I prefer the OG or remake from an aesthetics perspective is a different convo altogether. Like the remake probably has bosses that look “cooler” but is that what we want? All I’m saying is the limitations of the OG works better from a horror perspective. Plus I didn’t play demon souls or really any horror games in my past was too scared lol.

[@delta7115]

just as an outside observer who's played other soulsborne games, i feel like some of the whimsy was lost in designs like the flamelurker and storm king, where the lighting in the fights also hid a lot of the details on the model. others are almost 1-1 though, like the armor spider, which would have been nice to see for some other bosses like the maneater, who were so eerie with their glowing green eyes and mouths. even so i think if this studio was going to remake any other soulsborne game, it should be dark souls 2. i would like to see what they'd do with that.

I find my eyes drawn to the original time and time again simply because the contrast is higher. I love the updated effects, especially on adjudicator and leeches 100, but I feel like the original had a better grasp of what catches the eye. Old hero in particular suffers.

[@Skehrcros]

I find the worst of the redesigns is the Storm King/Beasts, the bright blue eyes feel a lot more cartoony, I liked that the original design looked alien and grotesque. There're also the Fat Officials, not sure why they removed the masks with the creepy grins, it looked more unsettling than just the mouldy people in the remake. The fidelity of the effects is fantastic though, while I can nit-pick the redesigns, they still all look great.

Why is it that in the Demon Soul remake almost all the monsters are like Nurgle's subordinates?

[@creefcreef8622]

I think they should have combined the realistic background elements with certain stylistic choices. Like the King's shading near the end and his robe not really splitting down the middle combined with his menacing face and hair slightly masked by the shadows creates a very mysterious air around him that the new one fails on completely. Idk, I love when the bosses are surrounded by mist and realistic elements that the newer ones have but it becomes clear very soon that it's not all just realism but also stylistic choices like extra shadows or big bright glowing eyes.

[@SirGrimLockSmithVIII]

The remake def messed up with Flamelurker. Should have kept the warped, uncanny design of the original. The new one looks too generic.

[@dogcakewog]

the models are great I think it is just the contrast of a lot of the glowing effects that take away from them, specifically the fire. I feel like a lot of video games, and movies for that matter have really gone excessive on the orange glow of fire. Maybe it is just me though. Like the original althought less detailed has a wide array of colors, all the remakes look they they only focus on 2 colors at a time, and the glowing effects and the greenish fog tends to bleed out everything else, making it feel less detailed in a way almost.

[@konajohnson6182]

I still find it quite incredible how certain bosses like Dragon God still look absolutely gorgeous in the original. Goes to show how good the designs for these bosses truly are!!

[@zedoctor3724]

My only real gripe is how the remake covers the OG's soundtrack in a way that puts it more in line with the Souls trilogy. The original had such a weirdly distinct soundtrack, ESPECIALLY when compared to the Souls games that came after it. Listen to the new Flamelurker's theme, and it genuinely sounds like it came outta Dark Souls 3. I dunno, I guess I prefer the odd tone that the original's sound had. I can also see the gripes with a select few character designs as well, but it doesn't come close as a deal breaker. I'd never have guessed some people would be grasping at straws that hard with that aspect, especially when it feels like the Souls community at large has embraced this remake.

[@Salty_C.J.]

the remake is missing that classic 80s/90s Japanese fantasy influence. there's something small and subtle in the originals designs that was lost in translation, they put so much effort into being faithful to the original and did so well just to fall short with minor seemingly inconsequential changes that end up altering the overall vibe in a slightly negative way. that classic 80s/90s Japanese fantasy style is a long dead genre that is sorely missed here

[@Salty_C.J.]

the original demons look like evil worldly spirits, the designs that were altered look like they crawled out of hell

I really dislike how the remake is playing into fantasy and general blockbuster tropes, like of course the vanguard demon has red glowing angry eyes, the boletarian palace is gothic with overgrown foliage to artificially force more assets and make it look "next gen" and the people that trapped the flamelurker were also nice enough to construct him an ebic boss arena that perfectly matches his aesthetic.

[@melb3mel]

The worst thing they did that most people seem to not even talk about was the heavy changes in architecture style, specifically trying to make it look more medieval fantasy than the original, which leads to it looking even closer to Dark Souls (which I think is entirely intentional from the devs and perhaps some part from Sony, we know Sony is gonna try to buy FromSoftware at any opportunity they have, they are not gonna lose that cash cow again)
