Demon's Souls Remake Is The Next Gen RPG We NEEDED

- With the next generation of consoles finally in hand, I could not wait to put Demon's Souls Remake in my PlayStation 5. Out of everything I anticipated, this remake coming from Bluepoint Games tops the list. As a RPG fan, the remake of this 2009 PS3 exclusive was my chance at redemption and with some new bells and whistles, it successfully delivers on everything I had hoped for.

The irony that the best next-gen RPG out now is a remake of a game that came out 2 generations ago.
Also The irony that one of the most hyped games right now as a launch title is a game that was so niche at his time and many players just hated it for its difficulty and complexity
@@Tuxedosnake00 lol you're not wrong.
It is also arguably the most influential game of the last two generations spawning its own genre (Souls-like), one of the most critically acclaimed series (Soulsborne), and inspiring many other great games from Nioh to GoW 4.
@@weaverquest it’s definitely had a huge impact on gaming for the last decade.
Sony is showing a game they snubbed two generations ago the love it deserves. Sony hated Demon Souls thought it would be a flop because they thought it had impossible difficulty. so they licensed it out to atlas and Bandai Namco then after Demon Souls became a cult success Sony realized they made a big mistake and should have released it as a prime Sony exclusive. In my opinion PlayStation 5 version of demon souls is Sony's attempt at Redemption and from what I've heard it's succeeding. I wouldn't be surprised if it outsold the PS3 release
Matty: "You've been working hard.."
Me: *looks nervously from side to side meme*
God I wanna buy a PS5 just for this game. Gotta wait til I'm more financially comfortable tho.
Legit same. I really really really want to buy the ps5 just for demon souls
Same, plus it’s almost impossible to find in stock or to find one not being sold by a scalper for 2000$
It's incredibly pretty
It will come to PC as well
@@sindx no
Got this and AC Valhalla for my PS5. It’s been a great start to the next gen so far!
How can we play some games if we can’t get the new system 😞
I know how you feel 😭 hopefully they'll have more in stock before the end of the year
B A C K L O G 🔥🔥🔥
The game should be cheaper by the time you get one, with the PS5 bugs sorted.
Same ☹️
I have a ps5 and I’m already back on steam, besides demon souls there’s no games on ps5 worth it if you have a ps4 already.
The worst thing about not getting a Ps5 at launch is not being able to play Demons Souls when others are already playing it 😭
I'm waiting patiently for my PlayStation 5 to arrive I have Demon Souls on PS5 but it's on my desk waiting for the console it was designed for
@@redseagaming7832 hope you've enjoyed Demon's Souls! It's my first "Souls" game specifically, although I did beat Bloodborne (base game, not DLC). I really enjoy this remake, it plays great at 60fps and looks amazing
@@redseagaming7832 Demons Souls was designed for the PS3 LMFAO
I enjoy your presentation. Feels like talking games over with a friend. Subscribed.
Video 7 shot in Matty's room where the same plastic water bottle is sitting under his lamp
How do you know it's the same bottle?
He’s making a cup of tea and needs hot water not all of can afford an ps5 and a kettle😂

At least someone mentioning the 3d Audio. I freaked out when I first experienced it (in a completely different setting and doesn't own the consoles yet).
Matt, absolutely loving your launch content and happy to have been introduced to your channel. Keep up the awesome work - I'm also working my way through your backlog and love all of the RPG coverage (and especially the tier lists)!
Matty sure trying his best to downplay the controller. I've been gaming all my life, and I can say without a shadow of a doubt that the controller absolutely is a game changer for me. Between the incredibly detailed and varied vibrations, thumps and feedback, the resistance on L2/R2 really helps immerse me into a game. And there is just something so satisfying about squeezing that trigger and feeling some weight. And it's not just a simple resistance either, it can vary quite a bit.
For those who do not have the PS5 yet, trust me the controllers new features definitely make it a game changer. And when you get your PS5, absolutely make sure to play Astro's Playroom before anything else. As it is basically like a tech demo for all of the controllers features. It is actually a pretty neat game that celebrates all things PlayStation in a fun and nostalgic way.
Most reviewers are. I downloaded the borderlands 3 upgrade and man! The gunplay on the triggers makes it feel like a whole new game! It’s definitely a game changer! So far individual guns have a certain amount of tension. So good!
@@MrSonrayz I've got Cold War all downloaded and good to go, looking forward to jumping in!! People thus far have been raving about the use of the controller in this game. I heard that each gun has a unique trigger and rumble feeling, which is pretty dang cool!
@@MrSonrayz actually, i have only seen 1 other person that wasn't particularly impressed by the new controller stuff. Most people seem to like the dualsense a lot.
I’ve been so hyped to finally play this game
Great review, great channel. The true Demon’s Souls starts here!
Keep in mind that you may not have the same 3D audio experience as Matty, because everyone perceives audio a bit differently. Right now there are 5 modes, but the mode that would be ideal for you will probably have to be implemented (and they'll expand on 3D audio on the PS5 in the future). Just keep that in mind when setting your expectations
Big thumbs up for this review.
Bloody yanks, I've still got too wait until the 19th in the UK!!
But I can't imagine how the people feel writhing without a preorder
I like the Vault Boy figure holding the Pikachu game boy. Nice touch
Almost a year later, still don't have a ps5 and this is still the only game I want one for. The original is one of the only games that has kept my ps3 running.
Where do you live that a happy meal is 10 dollars? A large big Mac meal is less than 9 where I live.
I cant wait for next gen to really kick in....just think of all those great titles we already played on to previous gens, now we can play them all over again and we even get the privilege of paying full price for the re-re-remakes once again.
Or you could just, you know, NOT buy remakes and instead play games that are backwards compatible?
God i love these thumbnails
Hey Matt, what's the music your playing in the background? It sounds like good music I can use for my essay writing in the background😊
Ten Carat Hill (no breakdown) from Pokemon Sun/Moon :)
@@MrMattyPlays Woah, I was not expecting this, ive watched your channel since 2015.I'm straight up fangirling right now haha😄Thanks Matty appropriate it, keep up the great content dude😊
I honestly do appreciate that some builds can have an unfair advantage in RPGs depending on the situation. Like when you talked about that boss fight using a Melee Character vs a Spell Caster. As weird as it may seem to use Skyrim as an example, it works. While you can be very deadly as a Melee Character in Skyrim, you can be absolutely broken as a Mage. And we see in TES Lore that very experienced mages are some of the most deadly people in existence. Heck my Sorcerer in ESO is more deadly than my Dual Wielding Nightblade and my Nightblade hits harder lol. Now I'm tempted to go back in Skyrim and be an OP Mage.
There was never a plunging attack in DeS. They started that in DkS.
they should of added it into the remake...no reason not to. Just like running jumps should of also been added.
Demon's Souls just doesn't use the Adaptive triggers. Outside of Astro bot only Call of Duty Cold War and NBA 2k21 utilize the adaptive triggers from what I've played so far. Demon's Souls focused on other things so I don't think in a game Souls you need to force this feature if they think subtlety works best for it. Like you say the little things add up and the triggers can be used as a full feature like Cold War or just a slight impact to the feeling of swinging on a web in Spider-Man.
How does it feel on the triggers using a bow in demons?
@@cloudbloom
There's only a small amount of resistance but I've just used the first bow you find so far.
“Demon Souls butt-clench” 😂
9:57 you "both" wrong .
You can wear a helmet and go to the option and disable the helmet but still in use.
The best usage of the controler audio in the ps4 imo came from Anima in the evil within 2, its the single creepiest moment in that game
Y’all help me out, what chair is Matt using??? I want one like that specifically and except replace the red with white. (I could be wrong, but from what I’ve seen it’s the classic series? But none are available on DXRacer website)
✨Every day’s great at your Junes! ✨
As always, excellent review! Fun , entertaining, informative and honest. Thanks Matty
I prefer the combat puzzle bosses because they’re more memorable. I’d remember the adjudicator 10 times faster than any ds2 or 3 boss. It ends up more memorable for me. And I think they are also replayable, did you know that you can fight him from the top of the arena to shoot down at him. Or you could do a soul level 1 run to make everything harder.
I would love to get into these types games especially Demon's Souls because it looks gorgeous but have two young kids makes it near impossible.
Souls like games are not that more time consuming then other rpgs.
Actually, souls games aren't particularly timeconsuming. You can just progress one step at a time cause there is no real main story to pay attention to. Plus tgey are ragequit proof so if there is something sudden than you can just leave.
From the moment I stepped foot in Boletaria Nine years ago it was the fantasy world I had seen in my dreams. This remake is amazing, I may put another 1000 hours in! So lucky to of have a PS5 and this is the best launch game ever!
The game we need is a game we have had for a decade?
But better!
@@Dracobyte
With new sensations!!
why u asking a question
Matty, which headphones did you use?
hold up, I thought 3D audio was old technology? I had a Logitech G430 and when I played Battlefield 4 multiplayer I was able to hear the sound of jets flying from the back of my head to all the way ahead when the Jet passed me by.. it really make you feel like you were in there with the surround system.
3D Audio is old technology. We had games doing it in the mid-to-late 90's.
@@johncrafton8319 Yeah, I dont know why Matty is talking about 3D audio as if its something new?
For people who don’t like not being able to pause, the photo mode pauses the game.
Demon’s Souls looks absolutely gorgeous. Sheesh
I just realized you dont have a review for sekiro. Did you even play it?
Do you gun parry in Bloodborne? I find that parry timings in Dark Souls are sort of weird, when I clearly smack the enemies sword as they attack and are rewarded by taking reduced damage I feel that should have been a parry. I prefer the parry system in Bloodborne. I find it really easy and I like that I can trade a parry for a small hit, and instantly top off my health with a visceral attack.
Parry in bloodborne has larger frames. It's good it's a gameplay mechanic. You get rewarded for being aggressive
In Demon or dark souls easy parry would be OP
I like the extreme vagueness from the souls series because it allows you to draw your own conclusion about what happened and make your own theories which is what Miyazaki wanted
Kinda bummed that they got rid of the OG Cat Ring jpg. and replaced it with a generic icon tho.
The cat pic shows up in the credits on a tree.
@@malcomalexander9437 Is that so? Well that's good to hear. Nice to know that he hasn't been forgotten in the remake.
Is that a Junes shirt with Nanako?
Will you get the same 3D audio experience from regular PC headphones or do you need the PS5's Pulse 3D headset?
Its gotta be a 3D audio headset to get 3d audio output
The reply below is not correct. The beauty of the PS5 3D audio is that it works with any headphones. In the same way that Dolby Atmos does on Xbox. The really serious trick is that early next year Sony will be updating the 3D audio so that it works on speakers as well :)
@@divinitymode9364 really? Nifty, I just assumed you needed the specific tech
@@divinitymode9364 nice I cannot wait for it to support speakers. My home theater room shall be waiting for me to play these new systems.
I wonder if people are still gonna get mad about the games difficulty and their wasted money
Oh that’s a thing
No, now the old fans are the problem cause they go around bitching abaut the remake.
"the designs look different! iT doEsN'T HAvE tHE SOul oF ThE ORigiNaL!!!"
@@bencegergohocz5988 I think if it's a real fan from day one it is their right to think that. I'm not a fan of demon souls. I started with dark souls 2 so I can't say anything
Just got this game and miles morales ! Played miles morales and I'm having a blast ! Can't wait to jump into demon's souls soon, got the PS5 on launch day and have not regretted my purchase one bit because my PS4 games look amazing and play great on it :)
Where do you stream?
Final Fantasy 7 remake is a Re imagening of the original ❤️
Need this for PS4
I beat demon souls by myself back in the day good game
Mark Cerny said they were going to have an app to map your ear for 3D audio. What happened with that?
Really cause I thought we needed something new and innovative, not something already made. That’s just my humble opinion.
Just level strength to wear heavy armor lol. Photo mode can remove helmets for screenshots
Watching this while I wait for my PS5 to get delivered so I can play this and miles morales
Dude it's so damn great, your gonna love it!
@@rozwelljones4976 Yeha I think I will, ive played all the other recent from soft ware games
Demon's Souls the game Sony didn't want to come out in 2009 under their Sony Computer Entertainment logo and licensed it to atlas and Bandai Namco and regretted it has become the flagship exclusive launch title for the PlayStation 5. I am so happy that Sony decided to make this remake as a launch title that's a big statement that they now believe in this game now. I have not played the Remake yet because I'm still waiting for my PS5 I've saw footage of it I played the original version on the PS3
Been playing it. It's hard its good
Sucks that this isn't on PC. Would be playing the shit out of it right now.
Only reason I envy the ps5. Hope Sony ports this to PC eventually like horizon
@matty, tell me your hair secrets!
It would be if it wasn't exclusive so more people could have enjoyed it but whatever it is what it is I'll try it in a few years when I can get a cheap used ps5
This game looks good
I don't think it'll happen but I hope it comes to PC
@PlayerSince90s I dunno. I think like the original and bloodbourne it'll stay exclusive. But I'll keep my hopes up!
Took me 2h to beat the first level but one try on the boss
Do you recommend online playing?
That's a big YESSSSS, the Souls games' multiplayer is so much fun. Be it either co-op or trying PVP, it's awesome
Gee I sure wish I could play it, oh wait, I can't because I can't buy a fucking PS5
Lol, this team was put together to completely remake a game that they werent the makers of, and ps5 and its tech is brand new, i think its hilarious that that takes away from any hype of the dualsense; not realistick bluepoint games wouldve had time to implement all the features of the controller into every crevice of the game man.
You need to go rent a room. LOL
When I say "Demon Souls" do you get goose bumps?
Good video - razzing because I saw your DS PS5 stream.
Like that spider boss (smiles at all the arachnophobes - makes spider fingers).
Dolby atmos with headphones on xbox series x also kick ass
Do games have dolby audio?
its a old game i loved it on the ps3 !
TH-camrs have just become Video Wikki.
Sucks it's too expensive to buy ps5 right now for me in china, demon's souls sounds punishing and fun
They're honestly some of the hardest combat based games ever made. DeS is a bit more challenging than all the DkS tho imo
Its not a next gen game. It just looks
What make a "next gen game" in your book?
I can’t even make it past the first level pls help
You can't really progress until you beat the boss in the area.
Grind Souls return to the Nexus, buy grass and fire bombs, repeat.
Yes it is it's perfect for an RPG GAME 👍
He looks like the foundflix guy kinda. 🤔
06:05 Triggered?
I'll see myself out.
I have a ps5 and I want to buy it but I'm trash at these games😅
I wish the ps5 wasn’t so difficult to get
Lupin from Harry Potter.
Bloodborne 2 was the next gen game we needed and never got. Or Elden Ring. Seriously though Demon Souls is a great game beautifully remastered but not the game that was “needed”.
Ooof! Matty.. I love your content and have subscribed for years, but the people have spoken. The numbers on these Demon Souls videos not too good. Then again I’m sure you expected it since Bethesda type RPG fans probably don’t crossover much.
So you want him to talk about Bethesda news even when there is no news to talk about?
Knock it off. Plenty of us like Skyrim (actual RPGs) while also liking the SoulsBorne games (which aren't RPGs). I figure there's more than enough crossover.
While this game is awesome like the rest of them, dear god do you feel the lack of bonfires and Estus. It can... be... rough.
If there’s no bonfires then how the hell do you save your progress?
I hate when they say that.
There are things that act exactly like bonefires but they are technicly not burning bones so "ThEy ARen'T BonEFiREs."
Yeah there’s stones that demons drop and that’s your porting place, never played dark souls but for what it’s said it’s that these stones are less prevalent in demon souls than bonfires in dark souls
It's not just the visual & gameplay, the sound effect & music is really good.
He talks about the sound 3 and half minutes in...
did u beat godfall😏
What’s next gen about a ps3 game?
Good joke
Me just sitting here not being able to play it due to the PS5 selling out in like 5 seconds
Have to just pay extra get it off someone! Cheers mate
Why does the main character running animation looks like his got some sort of a spinal injury?
Maybe cause they gotta haul around 100 pound armor
There's actually two animations you choose from in the beginning of the game and I'm glad I didn't miss out on picking the one I wanted.
Have you ever tried sprinting in full plate mail lol
Big mistake for Sony. I buy a new console for the NEW games, a console is only as good as its game library.
Demon's souls 2 or Dark souls 1 remake 🤔
10,000 percent demons souls 2. Remakes are cool and all but new games are always better
@@dustinsterling3248 New Ips are risky
@@Mojaveknight17 a sequel isn't a new IP tho o.o but I know what you mean, nostalgia sells
@@dustinsterling3248 look at pokemon...
Bloodborne 2
👍🏾👍🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I would love to play this game, but I'm not paying €575 for it. Especially not after what Sony did with the CoD multiplayer.
Plunge attack wasn't in DeS. They tried to keep it as faithful as possible
Some places they were faithful where they shouldn't have been, some places they weren't faithful when they should've been. Still can petty easily recommend it
FromSoftware didn't even develop this remake. It's just Sony trying to capitalize off of the amazing IP FromSoftware created
Why would they need to develop it? It's a remake and most of the original code is the same, the enemy AI and even the Jank is exactly as miyazaki intended
You realise they own the ip right? Plus Bluepoint is a studio that specialises on remaking stuff.
Well ok then
The original Demon's Souls was developed as a first-party title for SCE (Sony of Japan) by FromSoftware. Sony owns it - it was made for them and produced by them. They initially decided to license it to Atlus and Bandai Namco for Western distribution - a move they later regretted. When BluePoint wanted to do the remake, Miyazaki gave his blessing and Sony once again oversaw the project.
Is this just an attempt to capitalize off the initial game? It is exactly that, but it's not "just" that. There has been talk for a while about remaking this to take advantage of both the newer hardware and the popularity of the Souls-like subgenre. BluePoint came at this from a perspective of reverence for the original, and Sony gave them every opportunity to make it as good as they could.
Stop being so jaded about this.
@@johncrafton8319 exactly, a lot of people forget that Sony was hand in hand with from soft for the original Demons Souls....you could give them partial credit for helping to popularise the Souls genre
You can turn off your helm now silly (and still have it "on")
Why are you playing with no armor? Is this one of those experienced player tricks?
The only problem with Demons Souls is it's so easy once you've beaten it. Thats the only reason why I didn't buy the remake. I found Demon's Souls super easy compared to the other FromSoft games which are also now easy.
This game or assassins creed Valhalla?
They should put the original version on ps4 for people who couldn't get a ps5
It'll never happen due to who owns the IP and distribution rights, its a mess lol
