Couldn't have said it better, my man! There's so much wrong with "remakes", or demakes, nowadays where to even begin? When it comes to the PINNACLE of demakes and everything that's wrong with them, it's surprisingly not the Dead Space one, or Misao, the latter of which was VERY safe in its' content and not as memorable as the original, which is the one for gamers to try out! No, it's the Demon's Souls demake. It's EVERYTHING that one can expect with the upcoming Silent Hill 2 demake, and that's NOT "good" but the complete opposite. The Shadow of the Colossus demake is another example of why it SHOULDN'T be the norm. Remakes that is.
Last comment. Your channel is seriously under appreciated. Good takes. Not just clickbait. But I'd like to ask if you have seen the Crowbcat video on the comparison between the RE4 original and the RE4 remake. The remake is like he says very soulless. They took so much of the mood out of the original and altered so much and of course had to make it politically correct. Diablo 2 remake also suffers same as all this.
I did see it, i mentioned in the video i actually like capcom's remakes but I can understand not appreciating the changes in mood and tone. I didn't find re4 to be obscenely disrespectful to the source like demon souls but the original is still king.
That intro cut-scene is laughable. Demon Souls is moody and out of time. Some age unlike ours or even more esoteric or ancient like for lack of better words compared to even most historically accurate medieval fiction. So when the DEI gang of heroes show up to help the knight it becomes complete parody of not only the genre but the very ethos of the original From Software game's world.
Yeah, on the topic of FF7 Rebirth, I recall people getting all hyped up after that trailer dropped with Tifa and Aerith in their swimsuits - this also being during the lead up to Stellar Blade's release - and people were saying things like, "SquareEnix has come around, y'all!" or something along those lines... I didn't buy it for one second. When I saw Tifa showing off some skin, I saw a clear bait-and-switch coming.
@@BenD0v3r32 They turned around and censored the game, so yeah. That was kinda' my point. I may have seen it coming, but I understand why most people seemed to fall for it, or perhaps they wanted to fall for it. Everybody is sick of political nonsense being injected into everything, especially into entertainment where it's forced injection is probably the least appropriate, so it's no wonder people desperately wanted to believe Sony was coming around when it comes to needless censorship. I don't blame people for wanting better from those immoral prudes.
Man, you are spot on and eerie dystopian with what you are saying. It's true. They want the new Silent Hill 2 and the new RE4 remake and the new Demon Souls to be what people associate these games with. Same thing with the new Mortal Kombat. They've re-imagined all the classic characters in some subversive way. They'd love for there to be no way to play the old games and that they could digitally erase the classics. They are going to do this with everything from books to movies to shows to games. Everything problematic according to them will be rabbit holed or memory holed. Save your physical media. Hopefully it will all still work in a hundred years where those generations can know the truth not some soulless fake replacement. It would be a shame if that were so. Imagine not being able to watch the original Nosferatu from a hundred years ago and only some modern remake because the cultural Marxists erased the classic
They accidently improved ada by making her a depressed bitch but that's just a happy accident. in 100 years western society will probably be akin to a 3rd world african nation so I suppose its good we can enjoy kino vampires now.
Once I saw there was body type A and B in the character creation, I lost all interest in the Demon Souls remake, another modern day remake with unnecessary ideological nonsense. You provided more reasons to avoid it with the info you provided and how in many ways it's inferior to the original.
Admittedly i was hyped for Demon's Souls back on PS5 and disappointedly pissed to see that the lost level ice region of the frost giants was not going to be in the game. I missed the maiden in black honestly and was looking forward to a better refined gameplay but as soon as i took off my rose tinted glasses and saw the apparent Character Creator and race changes i knew this was gonna hurt. I first played Demon's Souls digitally i believe in 2011 and definitely got my my ass kicked but for once in a long while of all melee combat games i played this was it, Demon's Souls is THE Video Game I've been looking for! Its why i also enjoyed The Surge when it came out on the 2017 and enjoyed it for what it is, can't say the same its sequel unfortunately. Id also recommend The Heretic/Hexen series which is Dark Medieval Fantasy DOOM that came out in the late 90's
Demon Souls is like a memory of a lost period of time. So it makes perfect sense that a hazy 00s "ancient tech" (PS3) version is better than the soullessly slick PS5 version. Hell, I don't know anyone who has a PS5. This has been the worst console era. AAA games have been so awful but luckily oddly enough very few have to endure them because the scalpers hoarded the few PS5's out there and hardly any one can afford one to have to endure this tripe. People wanting BluePoint to handle Bloodborne are gonna regret it. Even the Reddit hipsters who compromise the Bloodborne remake will have a hard time lying to themselves it's worthy but they will because they'll have to defend all the woke changes to NPCs and character design and sanitation of anything that might offend modern sensibilities that have changed so much in just 10 years.
The last remake i bought was the RE2 Remake because i never played the original. I only ever played RE1 on GameCube, then 4, 5, 6, and some of the spin off titles. I got RE2 Remake because i thought it'd be a 1:1 remake of the original. It was not. I enjoyed it for the first few hours, but after I watched some gameplay from the original, comparing the hours i had played in remake to the Og, I felt like I got swindled hard.
this video tie up so well with a comment i made on your alita video about the differences in stroytelling between the west and east and we both see the souls series in a similar way. . as for the visuals i had an old argument about the regression of tekken games which had similar talking point that you mentioned. modern tekken has flashy vibrant colors and modern anime with glossy overly polished look where is everything is clean and cartoonish like design . while the old tekken had the 90s anime influence mixed with urban martial art movies up until its was a gritty mascline experience in a tech futurisic dystopian concrete jungle. like you said the problem is clearly artsyle not graphics. btw are my comments on your channel being marked as spam or is it just my internet connection ?
@@hcohic9884 hey I see your comments. I wish I'd spent more time on this video honestly as the demon souls remake is essentially considered canon and the only one to play now. Legit makes me sick
Remakes are... well, ...... soulless.

All I want is a 60fps patch for Bloodborne.

Demon Souls Remake was a disaster. They changed everything in the art of the game, it is terrible.
Russian and Chinese made games all the way and better than the west 🗿🇨🇳🇷🇺
I do love the RE remakes but on the whole, yeah they're bad. Our culture has been stagnated intentionally.
