How fucking weird is it to write a speech about how much /v/ hates Demon’s Souls? Look, I know, I know, it’s a remake. The laziest form of re-releasing, just behind remastering, but it’s easy money for From Soft that I’m sure they’ll definitely put into Elden Ring when it eventually comes out, right?
Well looking at Bluepoint’s handiwork, it becomes immediately evident why this game is at the top of /v/’s shitlist. Nice designs don’t really mean anything when they’re generic and clashing with the original art style. The remake is just lacking the original game’s charm, and hell, some of us liked the jankiness of the game, it complimented the refreshingly new mechanics at the time.
Look, at this point, the 2009 game can be compared to a finely-printed vinyl record. One that took six hours to set up on some obscure record player that shipped from the asscrack of the world. It’s got some scratchiness to it, some grit in the sound, but it’s part of the experience, and one that you can’t beat. And while /v/, being the hipsters they are, can’t stand the idea of listening to their once-favorite album on a digital format, some people care more for the music than the experience itself. And you know, that’s just fine.
