    Rest assured, this is a 4K mastered video - but once again, we're waiting on RUclips's encoders to catch up. Check back later for improved 1080p quality and full 4K60 encoding. It's frustrating - this situation is entirely out of our control.

    The 3 second loading makes the "Souls' Challenge" of dying and learning and dying and repeating and dying and finally winning and progressing, so much more bearable. Over the course of an hour or two you'll save upwards of 30 minutes, where you would've been waiting and fuming. Now you're back in the game, ready to rock.

    For me this is easily the best launch game I've ever played and going by critics it's most likely theirs, too (92% Meta). Absolutely brilliant. I'm so thankful that Sony is supporting games that are solely made for said hardware. This is what a true exclusive first party game is all about!

    After playing and beating the game twice now on PS5 I can say for sure that this is in my opinion the best looking game I’ve ever played on console. It’s absolutely stunning, never in any other game have I just stopped to admire the surroundings and detail as much as I have in Demon’s Souls, it’s incredible. Now I want to see Bluepoint do the same for Bloodborne, I imagine it would be gorgeous.

      I didn't want it at first, it's a 2015 game, but after I've seen personally just what they've done with Demon's Souls I crave it. Taking all the goods of From Software and giving it the visual polish almost all of their games lack and then some would be something truly spectacular.

    • @bergonath8851
      @bergonath8851 4 года назад +3

      My thoughts exactly. In the original, your character actually looks uncomfortable and clunky when clad in armor. The remake has many curious step-backs like this, the biggest of which being the new awkwardly "epic" soundtrack.

    • @KillahMate
      @KillahMate 4 года назад +7

      In reality well-made armor is never _very_ heavy, and has its weight distributed very evenly, precisely to help with movement. There was no such thing as an RPG 'tank' on a medieval battlefield - if you couldn't move as fast as your opponent, you would be dead. A well-trained and athletic individual could move in armor as comfortably as outside of it (though of course not for too long).

  • @neamraven
    @neamraven 4 года назад +4

    Technical details aside, I prefer the art style of the original game. The remake goes for the Hollywood look with a lot of duochromatic scenes, mostly teal/orange and green/red. Not a fan of that restricted color palette style. It's also a lot shinier and less gritty. The colors in the original look nicer and more pleasing to the eye, and they are also more varied. There's something harsh, spartan and cold about the new one, an almost clinical look that alienates you from the world rather than immerse you in it.

    • @neamraven
      @neamraven 4 года назад +2

      @@Slykillful I don't think you understand what I'm referring to. The remake is very duochromatic, sometimes even monochromatic. No, the original is not all green. Look at 0:55. The original sunset has reds, browns, yellows, pinks and violets--there are many colors playing together and complementing each other in one scene. By comparison, look at the same area in the remake at 6:36. It's all yellow, almost monochromatic. There are some reds in there in the rocks, and that's about it. The filters provided in the remake cannot really fix this, as it is at the core of the art direction. The nexus is another example, it's all green and yellow--duochromatic--with some splashes of red. At first glance it looks more colorful than the original nexus, but that's not the case. The new nexus is more saturated but it has less variation in tone and color. That's more or less true of the entire game.
