Demon's Souls Remake Announced, Being Made by Bluepoint

During Sony's PS5 games showcase, Sony exec Shuhei Yoshida announced a Demon's Souls remake! Watch the trailer now.

darthv721419d ago

I've played some of the dark souls games but never played demon souls. This looks pretty good.

naruga1419d ago

they fing ruined it with all these colors ....BP destroyed its aesthetic and feeling

Rimeskeem1419d ago

Im sure you can turn down the saturation and contrast ;)

Palitera1419d ago

Atmosphere > brown color.

solideagle1419d ago (Edited 1419d ago )

is there any game, you do not complain about? Seriously you are one hell of a negative person I have come across on N4g. The world does not revolve around you buddy, there are millions who will love this. Take a chill pill :)

IamFrasierCrane1419d ago

My word, you’re a fussy one.

sushimama1419d ago

LOL I knew you wouldn't like it. You hated the Crash Remake too lmao. Don't get it then weirdo lmao

naruga1419d ago (Edited 1419d ago )

@ above ....Demons Souls dark aesthetic was its trademark and its whole atmosphere was based on it ...play the game people

ABizzel11419d ago

The game looks great. I'm just hoping for 60fps.

GTgamer1419d ago

Do you like anything 😂😂😂

monkey6021419d ago

Haha I see certain threads and fully expect Naruga to be whinging in the replies to the first or second comment. Glad to see its a well recognised occurrence with others too ha

caddytrek1419d ago

Did you even watch the trailer? What are you talking about...

bouzebbal1419d ago (Edited 1419d ago )

You are the most negative person in this forum naruga it's crazy... Never happy
Are you like this in real life too??

boing11419d ago

Didn't Shadow of the colossus had filters built-in? I would expect the same here. Leave it to Bluepoint. They are masters of remasters.

Spurg1419d ago

The game's visual has a western touch to it rather than the Japanese dark tone.
This will be a point of contention as I personally don't like it....look like an expensive mod.

umair_s511419d ago

Looks great. Killer app.

Rambokind1419d ago

Come on, it looks great. Wait until they release some gameplay

Dragonscale1419d ago

Ruined my a55. Talk about salt lol.

Gamerking821419d ago (Edited 1419d ago )

Is there a game or series that you actually do like Naruga ?. I’ve been a long time lurker but first time joiner too this site and you seem to diss on pretty much all games . You sure gaming is actually for you ? . Mean the souls games are not for me but it defo looks good I give it that . Hell it may even convert me .

naruga - The Tower Of Latria will still be creepy af, and don't even mention the mindflayers.

Try and find some joy in things - it looks EPIC.

morganfell1419d ago (Edited 1419d ago )

One big thing people didn't take away from this was the introduction by Shu. He was publicly eating crow. When he first played the game he didn't like it. He literally played it for two hours and said it was crap. Didn't think much of this new title. This wasn't totally his fault and the studio said as much because the version he played was far different from the launch version due to vast differences in parallel (Japan) versus vertical (NA) development

tontontam01419d ago (Edited 1419d ago )

The original artists of the game are probably scratching their head right now while reading comments like this.

Emotional gamers artsy fartsy expert wannabe actually equated tricks they used to mask the limited lighting capabilities of the ps3 to ART,AESTHETIC CHOICE OR EVEN FEELING.

UltraNova1418d ago

Nice catch Morgan, totally forgot about that fact.

sushimama1418d ago

Chick this comparison.

You will change your mind

Wanna play the same game? Just play the Ps3

Babadook71418d ago

@sushimama

Nice one! Only a fool would complain about this.

It has an amazing atmosphere. I definitely recommend checking it out if you pick up a PS5. I'm happy the rumors were true and Bluepoint are working on it. Wish we would've seen some gameplay though.

Lore1419d ago (Edited 1419d ago )

I literally cannot fathom why Sony doesn’t sometimes take to this site to gather data on where to go next with their genre’s. Not the comments, but simply from the heat score for the articles. Out of every announcement today, the hottest topic is Demon’s Souls. And it’s a remake. If this doesn’t show demand for them to invest in more first party rpg’s then I honestly don’t know what will. Other than both of their main competition tripling down on it

DJStotty1418d ago

I thought Sony fans did not want "old games" and wanted new exclusive IP?

This just shows there is a market for old games, hence the back compat on both consoles, and the desire for remakes/remasters.

I_am_Batman1418d ago (Edited 1418d ago )

@DJStotty: That's on you for seeing a community that's as big as the playstation community, as some sort of monolithic entity which has a set opinion on every topic. Some people don't care about old games, some do. I've been very outspoken about wanting full bc and and I know a lot of people that have said similar things.

NeoGamer2321419d ago

Demon Souls is amazing! Can't wait for this one....

Grrrrrrrrrr... Though... No "Holiday 2020" tied to it so don't know when it will ship. Can't wait!

neutralgamer19921419d ago

Their last game was in february 2018 and I think they grew a little larger afterwards or before that project. If not at launch maybe early 2021?

Spiderman
Ratchet and clank

Will be launch titles and I am curious about horizon too since their last game was over 3 years ago

Along with that they should definitely updated some older titles. Bloodborne, HZD, god of war, spiderman, days gone, uncharted 4, TLOU2, ghost along with few others

Loading times alone will make the games play better

NeoGamer2321419d ago

@neutralgamer1992
Sony did label some games 2021. Not sure if that means this one is farther out. Just unclear.

I found the labelling of the games a bit confusing.... They didn't say spider-man was exclusive, although I assume it is... They labelled some games for holiday 2020, but did not label some games holiday 2020 that are going to be there, then they labelled some games 2021, and no labels at all on others.

I just really am picky watching ship dates. Personally, I would prefer if the console vendors only showed stuff they know will ship in the next 12 months. I have no interest in looking farther out as to me the games are vaporware then.

Muzikguy1419d ago

Demon's Souls was rough. I never best it but did the Dark Souls games

OMG! I had a mini heart attack. It's real...it's finally real! This game alone seals the deal. I'm buying a PS5 day one.

i have no idea what i just watched!! simply magestic

UltraNova1419d ago

Bluepoint is hitting out of the park. Such a quality studio...Sony should acquire them ASAP and give them the money to make their own IP.

MajorLazer1419d ago (Edited 1419d ago )

I knew it the moment Shuhei said a game close to his heart. I actually screamed when the dregling came on screen. I am beyond ecstatic. GT7, Demon's Souls, Spiderman and Horizon 💀

I'll say it again, Demon's Souls is my favourite game ever and I may just be the happiest person in the world right now 😁😁😁

monkey6021419d ago

its funny too considering his first impressions of the game and the comments he made at the time

Weapon_of_choice1419d ago

No, I'm 😁 I can't freaking wait!! Demon Souls remake with no loading time! My body is ready!

MEGANE1419d ago (Edited 1419d ago )

Amen
Am having a “ shut up and take my money” moment.

CaptainObvious8781419d ago

Absolutely!

After this PS5 day one. Period.

This announcement alone made the presentation a huge win.

UltraNova1419d ago

Yeah, good luck getting one in 2020! Haha

bouzebbal1418d ago

Bluepoint def need to be acquired by Sony, or at least sign an exclusivity deal over a long period of time so they become second party studio.
With the great remasters and remakes they've been making all these years, they would be a perfect studio to bring back old franchises..
i mean imagine Jak 2, Syphon Filter remakes, or even some of the forgotten gems Sony has like Jade Cocoon and others...

AsunaYuukiTheFlash1418d ago

@UltraNova it says PS Studio right before the trailer. Im pretty sure they already aquired Bluepoint.

UltraNova1418d ago

The PS Studios logo we saw is connected to Japan Studio that is attached to the remake along with Bluepoint. JS also helped with Bloodborne so it makes sense to lend BP a hand. I haven't seen anything official regarding Sony aquiring Bluepoint.

Pyro, just know it won't be going to ____.

luckytrouble1419d ago

Pyro, they literally showed it as part of the exclusive reel at the end of the show lol

morganfell1419d ago

"Not exclusive."

Nope. Game developed with supervision and cooperation of SCE Japan.

Silly gameAr1419d ago

@Pyro

Pretty sure Sony owns the rights to Demon's Souls. It's exclusive.

frostypants1419d ago (Edited 1419d ago )

@PyroMessiah86, Sony owns the Demon's Souls IP. It's the entire reason why Dark Souls wasn't instead Demon's Souls 2.

@PyroMessiah86 Did you even watch the trailer? It says Playstation Exclusive at the end.

Movefasta19931419d ago

My first souls game... remade... DAY 1.Tower of Latria with ps5 power... bruh I hope they stay true to it and don't remove anything because it was all perfect as video games can be.

ocelot071419d ago

I think they will add rather than remove.

Greg28011419d ago

Yeah i really hope they add the broken archstone world that they cut from the original version.

badz1491419d ago

don't doubt Bluepoint. SoTC remake is all you need to see to believe

Suddenly my signed demons soul poster I won back them from the PlayStation blog looks a lot nicer on my wall

No snow in Demon's Souls but there is snow in the trailer... O M G

The best PS5 exclusives 2024

With so many PS5 exclusives to choose from, it can be a little overwhelming to pick which one to play. This is especially true for a new PlayStation gamer who has yet to experience the wonder of PlayStation-exclusive storytelling. So, here's KnowTechie's take on the best PS5 exclusives in 2024 and beyond

PlayStation is killing it with the exclusives this year. Exclusive wise, what has xbox released this year?

VersusDMC16d ago

They won't complain about Microsoft not releasing games here but put all their effort into saying that only first party counts. Games like Rebirth and Grandblue Relink don't count. Games published by Sony like Helldivers 2, Stellar Blade and Rise of the Ronin don't count because Sony don't own the studios.

It's some narrative building so for when Hellblade 2 come out they can say, seemingly without shame, that Microsoft is actually releasing first party games this year. And claim victory.🙃

Chevalier16d ago

Weird 1st party games didn't matter when Xbox had so little, but, now they're important again? Guess Ark 3, Stalker 2 don't count any more?

KyRo16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

ARK 3 doesn't exist and it's just a timed exclusive. It's also a game that a majority of the ARK player base doesn't want as it's a massive deviation from what people like about the original game

Abnor_Mal16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

Honestly to me it doesn’t matter what they say, they are just finally getting a chance to say all the things PS fan(boy)s were saying to them for the past few years. Let them get that, they deserve a “win” for a change.

The new narrative is that suddenly first party games matter again when awhile ago they didn’t, but that was because they were struggling with the same three games with the occasional fourth or fifth. That games should be everywhere on all platforms since that’s whats happening to theirs. The consoles don’t matter just the ability to play anywhere. Whatever Xbox is doing Sony will soon follow.

They’re not moving the goalpost anymore, but rather just moving the whole damn stadium.

jwillj2k416d ago

Only a incel would care about who published what and who owns who.

If it’s not on the other consoles it’s an exclusive.

Killing what? Where are the 1st party games??
Stellar Blade and FF7 is what I’m seeing this year.. so shallow!!!!

andy8516d ago

Doesn't really matter as long as they're great games. Baffles me why people put an emphasis on 1st party. They're still games you can't play anywhere else this year

Cacabunga16d ago

Andy

PS brand is my favorite because of their stellar first party software.. currently I see absolutely nothing to go crazy for..

CS715d ago

Nonsense.

PS1 and PS2 was built on great third party exclusives like FF, MGS, GTA & Tekken.

raWfodog16d ago

Of course I love the games I’ve played from PS but I don’t believe we need to limit it to ‘exclusive’ to acknowledge that Xbox will be releasing some good games this year also. In that same vein, I believe that Xbox diehards shouldn’t limit their acknowledgment of good PS games to 1st party. There are plenty of good games to go around for everybody.

Tacoboto16d ago

This is a Playstation article about Playstation games and your comment is about Xbox. Can't you just celebrate what PS has without dragging this into console war BS?

ChasterMies16d ago

I don’t think Microsoft is releasing games exclusively on Xbox anymore. They have some timed exclusives that release on Xbox first.

Abear2116d ago (Edited 16d ago )

Returnal, Astro Bot, and Ratchet made having it since day one worth it.

GT7 free updates and Spiderman 2 and others at 60fps have made this last year more than okay.

But yeah, it’s been dry lately. BG3 and third party have made great filler, but we ready for that SOCOM or Killzone announcement and some more 1st party goodness. Crossing fingers for Ghost of Tsushima 2 announcement this summer.

Didn’t know Helldivers was exclusive! Wtf is going on at Xbox that they can’t get these games, series s strikes again.

SonyStyled16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

Sony owns the Helldivers IP. The first was a PS3/Vita/PC game. It was never an Xbox game that they could ‘get’ a decade ago. I’m not sure what the upset is with Xbox here

CS715d ago

Lol, how do you ignore Rebirth one of the best games ever made?

anast16d ago

Looks like they are on par with the previous gens. Solid games all around. Interestingly enough, we can't say they released a bad game yet this gen. Unlike the Quiet Man dustup.

I actually do not mind if Marathon releases on multiple platforms . I just wish that Marathon has a dedicated single player campaign.

Helldivers 2 is exactly what gaming needed. I’m loving it.

The 7 Best Co-op Games on PS5

There's no better way to enjoy your PS5 than with friends, so here's our picks of the best co-op games on the console.

Cacabunga109d ago

For coop, get a used switch instead

jznrpg109d ago

I own a Switch and have never played co-op on it. I do play Elden Ring , Demons Souls and some other co/op games with my friends on PS5. Baldurs Gate 3 is the next game I’ll play co-op. Can’t do that on a Switch

Cacabunga108d ago

I was thinking for couch casual immediate fun.. not online coop games that require some adaptation.
