The worst change in the remake was adding music to the tower of Latria when the original famously had no music. It completely changes the vibe of the level for the worse.
“You still have the original“ doesn’t fly as an excuse when the original is on a decade old console without backwards compatibility support, and the servers have literally been shut down, which is especially relevant given how integrated into the core gameplay the online functions are in this game.
It hurts my heart that the majority of people that will ever experience Demon's Souls will do so through the filter of souless Californian insect people instead of From Software's original vision that was clearly too primitive and misguided and from such an ancient system as the PS3 to be faithfully recreated. But then I recall that these same people are too braindead to reocgnize that they could get the superior experience on RPCS3 and the sympathy disappears.
I liked the original skeleton enemy design in OG Demon's Souls. They are clearly not "zombies", but crispy and clunky skeletons held together by black magic. That makes them creepy and menacing in a different way than other enemies in the game. The new design in the remake feels like the producers said "oh okay you need some tissues and tendons to move, not just skeleton. That's science". Maybe some would like the new design, which is fine by me BTW.
It reminded me that in Elden Ring it's also body type A or B, yet just a few seconds after Melina refers to you as "Her kind" "His kind" in a cinematic.
The new fat official is the only change that I think is truly bad and ruins the original vision in a way. Miyazaki has said in interviews that no matter what character he is designing he tries to preserve an element of dignity in them even if they’re supposed to be grotesque. The fat officials were symbols of greed and corruption, but they weren’t monstrously and disgustingly gross. They were still well kept and dressed and carried themselves with their own kind of dignity. The new ones are cliched “gross fat guy with putrid boils” type enemies. Completely changes the tone. They were originally unsettling but now they’re just a joke
Changing enemy and boss designs completely changes the context of the world. It's pretty disrespectful that BluePoint thought that they knew better than FromSoft aswell to go so far as to grossly misrepresent the original game like this.

I chose type A because the walking animation looked more intimidating and confident than type B....until I started running lol. My character runs like he’s running down a very narrow shit covered hallway and does not want anything to do with making contact with the shit smears.
I was really skeptical about bluepoint and how they remade shadow of the colossus, and it's the exact same thing here. Updated graphics and new animations are nice but almost all changes in design, music, atmosphere etc. are for the worse

Almost all of the redesigns are so much worse then the original and it's a shame that you can't really go back to the original because it's only on PS3 without Online (Unless you emulate it). It's just a shame that one of the most memorable Souls games lost a lot of what made it so memorable in the first place.
-Dark Souls Remastered is bad because it didn't change enough. -Demon's Souls Remake is bad because it changes too much. Don't get me wrong, I don't deny any of the *valid* criticisms about the game. The HUD looks generic, the font looks out of place, and the body type thing is stupid. The fact they didn't even improve the AI is more of a flaw than anything. Dragon God's fight is still boring as all hell. But no, Astraea's theme is what's really wrong here. The Fat Ministers got a redesign? Sacrilege!
i dont think the hud being generic or the font looking out of place is "valid" criticism, and why are people making a fuss about the body type thing anyway, just acknowledge it and move on, but i do agree that they should've at least improved the AI. A more valid criticism would be about how outdated the online aspect of this game really is
So I’m not allowed to criticize anything other than gameplay? You realize there are people who like the game for more than the gameplay, right? I loved the designs and music in the original. Big part of what i liked it for. I hate the argument that the music changes or design changes don’t matter since the gameplay is still the same. Makes no sense. Just because you don’t care about those things doesn’t mean I shouldn’t and that I’m being irrational for not liking the changes. I could say the reverse. If i didn’t care about the gameplay but loved everything else, i could tell you to stop whining about the gameplay issues, because I don’t care about them, and that means you shouldn’t. Edit: i want to clarify before someone responds, i love the remake. I’m not so much criticizing it in this reply, I’m criticizing what the commenter said.
Dark Souls Remastered is bad because they didn't change anything lol. Remastering a game while putting 3-4 QoL changes (And not even fixing all of them. Things like backstabs in pvp and quad rolling are still there, let alone major things such as Lost Izalith and Tomb of Giants being awful) and making you pay 40$ for it is an embarassement. Demon's Souls Remake completely changed the game for worse in areas where the original aged very well (Such as art style and atmosphere, now the game lost his original feeling completely and it looks extremely generic in return); but then it didn't bother fixing the clunky, 11 year old gameplay to modern standards. Yes, Astraea's OST and the Fat Official's awful redesign are a problem, because they are parts of a bigger issue.
After the success of this game bluepoint will no doubt we contracted to revamp more sony classics. It's better to let your grievances be known with their development style before they remake a game better than demon souls.
this game and the PS5 are selling like crazy, if anything that proves those changes doesn't bother to the majority of people so if you don't like this sort of stuff things will get worst from here (and for the record, I think the inclusion of the whole body type thing is stupid and pointless)
Yes because demons souls never sold well largely due to almost no marketing. But popular doesnt mean good. Look the lords of the fallen was successful
My friend, this is the first time I watch one of your video and I must say... you look like Rick Rubin when he was younger... You got another sub just for looking like Rick Rubin lol
I wish I wasn't me too; I wanted to love this; I wanted to play it. I was so hyped for this when it was announced only to see them butcher Flamelurker's design in the trailer, turning him into a generic diablo demon and instantly all that hype turned to dread. They fixed that before release, thank god, but they couldn't fix all the other terrible redesigns. I can understand why people like it, it graphically looks amazing and I'm sure the game is still fun. But I can not support the bastardization of the art I love. I don't think they did it disrespectfully, but by god it doesn't even look like they tried to stay true to the original designs.
Thats why he hasnt streamed demons souls at all lately. He lowkey agrees that the original is better but doesnt want to deal with the tribalism. He still plays original re1 ffs
So I guess the next question is which gender is body type A, alpha, and which is type B, beta. Sarcasm of course but even then there is typically a preference to being on the a team vs the b team because alphabetically a comes first. No matter how you play it there's no winning in this situation.
@@NeroSparda99 personally, i cannot stand behind the decisions they made. aesthetically and otherwise. a game's graphics aren't automagically better with more saturation and bloom effects. the opposite.
@@Ricofyiiamaspy I have no idea where you stand on the gender issue (though since you're basically calling Storm Davis a soyboy I assume you're not one of the nice people). But renaming gender to body type A and B is pretty fair way to dance around the outrage culture of reactionaries on both sides (its a relatively neutral way to describe a typically masculine or feminine body structure), and expand the character creator to be more in line with modern sensibilities. Frankly, people should be more tolerant with this kind of subject. If someone identifies as a man or woman, then they're a man or woman. Gender Identity isn't going to invalidate birth sex anyway.
@@CJojo_13_ except thats circular, just saying you are something doesn't make it so, and men and women, male and female literally mean your sex thats how everybody uses it (except for woke morons) and its the very definition adult human male/female equals man and woman respectively.
@@Jackraiden500 I wouldn't get into the whole "circular logic" arguement when believing sex and gender are the same thing relies on coming to a conclusion (regardless of the existing facts) which stems right back from how they start the argument. Gender is often used interchangeably with sex, but that doesn't make it the same. Male and female is sex. Man and woman is gender. Its that easy. Sex: "either of the two major forms of individuals that occur in many species and that are distinguished respectively as female or male especially on the basis of their reproductive organs and structures." Gender: "the behavioral, cultural, or psychological traits typically associated with one sex." Most definitions will give a similar answer on the meaning of both words. You can argue that people use it interchangeably, but that's an arguement built on anecdotal evidence and is not objective reasoning.
I'm curious if it's in japanese version also. They usually shit all over this SJW crap, I wouldn't be surprised if it's the lefties from the west fault.
Doesn't seem like such a big deal. Why're you so attached to the words 'boy and girl' in your video games? Don't you think it's weird that it bothers you? Like, of all the things they've changed in this game, Body Type A is what triggers you? It really doesn't matter what they call it. Boy, Girl, A, B, red, blue, 1 or 2. Your problem is that a private, self governing business 'ever so slightly' changed your generic, heteronormative experience to accommodate a minority. Which is a wierd problem to have if you're a heterosexual male. It literally doesn't get any easier than being a heterosexual male, it's essentially life's easy mode.. Yet here you are, complaining that someone got a crumb from your endless, lifetime supply of free, easy mode cookies. Weirdo.
@@onesolopolo4194 because they are still male and female bodies 😂😂😂 Its just rediculous. And no, nobodys life is on easy mode. Everyone has got shit to deal with. Take the emo teenage angst elsewhere
Even if I didn’t care for the changes back then and still kinda don't the only thing that actively ruined my enjoyment of the game was not being able to delete individual save files in a souls game for different runs because of them just using those early PS5 menus. Now my copy just has like 5 runs, 3 of which are burners because I wanted my classic Fluted helm for beating the tutorial demon.
I think the real divide here is from two trains of thought: one being that videogames are art first and foremost, and the other being videogames are interactive entertainment first and foremost. Neither is correct as it's entirely subjective but the problem lies in zealous people trying to impose their stance onto others.
Is Aris getting paid to shill this? Absolute cringe. He's not only glorifying the demake but shitting on the fans who have legitimate criticisms of it and even shitting on the original game itself. iirc he only played DeS PS3 this year?? Wtf does he know? This is embarrassing.
Only DKS lost soul,..More and more relying on action instead of the world cohesion and basically perfect stamina balance and RPG,.. (and BDW,.. combat was never really the highest point in Souls games,..) So why they went to even more action based systems and less and less classic RPG,.. I really cannot say,..

Hasn't that been the case for years in the gaming industry? If you buy the same game twice then you hustled yourself. You'll probably do it again. Even Aris is making fun of you.
On one hand I’m mad that the stupid carry weight thing is still in the remake but on the other hand I’m glad bluepoint didn’t change it because they would probably find some kind of way to ruin that as well
It does sometimes. I also think a lot of the graphical "improvements" make it look kinda soulless and sterile in a way compared to the original. Sue me. I think this is definitely the way to play the game if you never did back in the day though. Would definitely be an awesome first experience with Demon's Souls.
The old game is trash Im glad us zoomers get to play the new improved version, go get your 24 frames bloom filled dull looking rpg and let us enjoy the best remake to come out this generation
Lol i like how he triggers near the end. Very funny. btw fog in the swamp was mandatory and without it whole level is actualy sucks. Everyuone in right mind can't disagree with that :P
Storage changes? Damn you really loved back tracking to an arch stone to sit in a minute long load screen to drop off a few ores then sitting in another minute long load screen then clearing your way back to the loot you couldn’t pick up, huh?
some of the music is better on the original and some on the remake. its all preference. it would sound out of place I think with the old soundtrack with this new graphic approach and changes.
"Your team sucks, it's not happy, it's complaining." My team rules. We appreciate games and love them more. Instead of just playing a game once and moving on to something else, we enjoy it to the point that it becomes enriching. When someone says, "I'm just glad that I'm happy playing this game." it sounds like they're just going to forget it a week after they beat it because every experience in their life is a shallow one.
Changes to remakes are what I look for to see what new ideas they've added to the experience to make it better by their standards, like FFVIIR and REmake, because if I wanted it to be the exact same way, I'd just play the original version.
If game preservation was a thing this would make sense, but it's not. Some games will forever be lost or be difficult to obtain and experience. If the remake shipped with OG Demon Souls it would be amazing. The Odin Sphere remake also gives you the original game which I wish more remakes took into consideration.
@@flamuralaj3302 It is, but it takes high end hardware most people aren't going to have. Also, Emulation is extremely finicky especially with something like the PS3, so it will hardly ever be as 1-1 as original hardware.
@@sneakman9873 And they probably thought about porting it over as it was initially, but realized how janky it looked and performed and might have thought how much better if would be to give people another chance to play it while looking and performing far smoother than it did on PS3.
They made the Crest Fallen Knight black to be PC, body type is A/B now, not Male and Female, the music is generic and I can’t even hear it except on like Old King Allant, and the Fat Official Design, but other than that, it’s a great game and I’m happy to be playing an online better graphics version of a PS3 game.
The worst change in the remake was adding music to the tower of Latria when the original famously had no music. It completely changes the vibe of the level for the worse.

I'm body type fluid not A or B thank you very much
Almost all of the redesigns are so much worse then the original and it's a shame that you can't really go back to the original because it's only on PS3 without Online (Unless you emulate it). It's just a shame that one of the most memorable Souls games lost a lot of what made it so memorable in the first place.
It's not bad but it's just different. This DS remake is amazing for the way it is.
Whine more cry baby
Not worth $70 that's for sure
-Dark Souls Remastered is bad because it didn't change enough.
-Demon's Souls Remake is bad because it changes too much.
Don't get me wrong, I don't deny any of the *valid* criticisms about the game. The HUD looks generic, the font looks out of place, and the body type thing is stupid. The fact they didn't even improve the AI is more of a flaw than anything. Dragon God's fight is still boring as all hell.
But no, Astraea's theme is what's really wrong here. The Fat Ministers got a redesign? Sacrilege!
i dont think the hud being generic or the font looking out of place is "valid" criticism, and why are people making a fuss about the body type thing anyway, just acknowledge it and move on, but i do agree that they should've at least improved the AI. A more valid criticism would be about how outdated the online aspect of this game really is
So I’m not allowed to criticize anything other than gameplay? You realize there are people who like the game for more than the gameplay, right? I loved the designs and music in the original. Big part of what i liked it for. I hate the argument that the music changes or design changes don’t matter since the gameplay is still the same. Makes no sense. Just because you don’t care about those things doesn’t mean I shouldn’t and that I’m being irrational for not liking the changes. I could say the reverse. If i didn’t care about the gameplay but loved everything else, i could tell you to stop whining about the gameplay issues, because I don’t care about them, and that means you shouldn’t.
Edit: i want to clarify before someone responds, i love the remake. I’m not so much criticizing it in this reply, I’m criticizing what the commenter said.
@DeadRat Productions exactly how did they completely miss the point of the original?
Dark Souls Remastered is bad because they didn't change anything lol. Remastering a game while putting 3-4 QoL changes (And not even fixing all of them. Things like backstabs in pvp and quad rolling are still there, let alone major things such as Lost Izalith and Tomb of Giants being awful) and making you pay 40$ for it is an embarassement.
Demon's Souls Remake completely changed the game for worse in areas where the original aged very well (Such as art style and atmosphere, now the game lost his original feeling completely and it looks extremely generic in return); but then it didn't bother fixing the clunky, 11 year old gameplay to modern standards.
Yes, Astraea's OST and the Fat Official's awful redesign are a problem, because they are parts of a bigger issue.
back in the day we had a gender slider
That weird ass Oblivion mutant slider? RIP
Saints Row 2 did it right.
Ahh... No way... That slider that makes your face more feminine and masculine is gone in this remake??
@@tsohgallik It is? Man that’s dumb. PC stuff isn’t about inclusion when it just excludes typical stuff.
Saints row 2 did that and it was actually good
The only gripes i got is with the changes to the OST but i like the new one a lot, still prefer the original in some cases.
This so much,.. but it goes on case by case basis,.. some of the original themes are just more memorable,..but some of the new ones are also better.
I agree, some are better but some definitely lose some of that somber tone the original had.
After the success of this game bluepoint will no doubt we contracted to revamp more sony classics. It's better to let your grievances be known with their development style before they remake a game better than demon souls.
this game and the PS5 are selling like crazy, if anything that proves those changes doesn't bother to the majority of people so if you don't like this sort of stuff things will get worst from here
(and for the record, I think the inclusion of the whole body type thing is stupid and pointless)
Bluepoint better remake Ape Escape
Yes because demons souls never sold well largely due to almost no marketing. But popular doesnt mean good. Look the lords of the fallen was successful

Demon Soulless
Wasn't he on the other team for tekken 7 new season?
I wish I wasn't me too; I wanted to love this; I wanted to play it.
I was so hyped for this when it was announced only to see them butcher Flamelurker's design in the trailer, turning him into a generic diablo demon and instantly all that hype turned to dread.
They fixed that before release, thank god, but they couldn't fix all the other terrible redesigns.
I can understand why people like it, it graphically looks amazing and I'm sure the game is still fun. But I can not support the bastardization of the art I love. I don't think they did it disrespectfully, but by god it doesn't even look like they tried to stay true to the original designs.
No one asked loser. Keep crying
He may mock fans pissed about the changes. But he'll soon be peer pressured. Just like Dark Souls 2, 3 & DS1 Remastered.
Hey alright
Thats why he hasnt streamed demons souls at all lately. He lowkey agrees that the original is better but doesnt want to deal with the tribalism. He still plays original re1 ffs
The only things i Genuinely dislike is the new Voice acting it's nowhere near as good and makes a lot a classic characters sound so stale and lifles.

Only in 2020 can we act like male and female isnt a thing
everybody in the comments making the same body type joke over and over
So I guess the next question is which gender is body type A, alpha, and which is type B, beta. Sarcasm of course but even then there is typically a preference to being on the a team vs the b team because alphabetically a comes first. No matter how you play it there's no winning in this situation.
This game looks amazing, I loved the original. Can't wait to play this. Just have to sell my body a few more times and I can get a ps5
Ill buy it if its a Body Type A
Gotta eat a lot of hot dogs. 😉

I mean the body type A and B thing is a little weird and could have been done better but does it matter that much?
@Storm Davis gender is part of your core identity, if you see no issue with shit like this i can only imagine you as a nu male
@@Ricofyiiamaspy I have no idea where you stand on the gender issue (though since you're basically calling Storm Davis a soyboy I assume you're not one of the nice people). But renaming gender to body type A and B is pretty fair way to dance around the outrage culture of reactionaries on both sides (its a relatively neutral way to describe a typically masculine or feminine body structure), and expand the character creator to be more in line with modern sensibilities.
Frankly, people should be more tolerant with this kind of subject. If someone identifies as a man or woman, then they're a man or woman. Gender Identity isn't going to invalidate birth sex anyway.
@@CJojo_13_ except thats circular, just saying you are something doesn't make it so, and men and women, male and female literally mean your sex thats how everybody uses it (except for woke morons) and its the very definition adult human male/female equals man and woman respectively.
@@Jackraiden500 I wouldn't get into the whole "circular logic" arguement when believing sex and gender are the same thing relies on coming to a conclusion (regardless of the existing facts) which stems right back from how they start the argument.
Gender is often used interchangeably with sex, but that doesn't make it the same. Male and female is sex. Man and woman is gender. Its that easy.
Sex: "either of the two major forms of individuals that occur in many species and that are distinguished respectively as female or male especially on the basis of their reproductive organs and structures."
Gender: "the behavioral, cultural, or psychological traits typically associated with one sex."
Most definitions will give a similar answer on the meaning of both words. You can argue that people use it interchangeably, but that's an arguement built on anecdotal evidence and is not objective reasoning.
Body types are a social construct

Crazy choice to go with that stupid body type thing by the devs.
I'm curious if it's in japanese version also. They usually shit all over this SJW crap, I wouldn't be surprised if it's the lefties from the west fault.
Doesn't seem like such a big deal. Why're you so attached to the words 'boy and girl' in your video games?
Don't you think it's weird that it bothers you? Like, of all the things they've changed in this game, Body Type A is what triggers you?
It really doesn't matter what they call it. Boy, Girl, A, B, red, blue, 1 or 2.
Your problem is that a private, self governing business 'ever so slightly' changed your generic, heteronormative experience to accommodate a minority.
Which is a wierd problem to have if you're a heterosexual male. It literally doesn't get any easier than being a heterosexual male, it's essentially life's easy mode..
Yet here you are, complaining that someone got a crumb from your endless, lifetime supply of free, easy mode cookies.
Weirdo.

@@jamesultima6144 it's really not that deep
It was really hard to come out as trans body type A
Even if I didn’t care for the changes back then and still kinda don't the only thing that actively ruined my enjoyment of the game was not being able to delete individual save files in a souls game for different runs because of them just using those early PS5 menus.
Now my copy just has like 5 runs, 3 of which are burners because I wanted my classic Fluted helm for beating the tutorial demon.
"Lemme know what you guys think about [Real shit] in the comments below!" is what I expected lol
I think the real divide here is from two trains of thought: one being that videogames are art first and foremost, and the other being videogames are interactive entertainment first and foremost. Neither is correct as it's entirely subjective but the problem lies in zealous people trying to impose their stance onto others.
Makes sense but dark souls is art
Heres the thing do you play Demons souls for the combat or for the experience?
I didnt even know he banned questions for some reason
Is Aris getting paid to shill this? Absolute cringe. He's not only glorifying the demake but shitting on the fans who have legitimate criticisms of it and even shitting on the original game itself. iirc he only played DeS PS3 this year?? Wtf does he know? This is embarrassing.
They should have sponsored him
It looks really good, but it lost it's soul for it, and now feels nothing like the original
It amazing for the way it is tho. I never played the original one and I love this one so much.
@@karonain9743 oh trust me, it is amazing tho. It's really good. It's just not the same
Only DKS lost soul,..More and more relying on action instead of the world cohesion and basically perfect stamina balance and RPG,.. (and BDW,.. combat was never really the highest point in Souls games,..) So why they went to even more action based systems and less and less classic RPG,.. I really cannot say,.. Bloodborne still kinda works, because world is so well designed,..)
@@brscic bosses and combat became the highlight for most people i suppose, i still have DS1 as my favorite tho lol. Even so, I'm hyped as fuck for Elden Ring and the return to a more RPG game

I mean, does it being a and b really matter? Like why care so much the character creator is such a small part of the game

@@EmaRussoUltra idg why it’s dumb but ok I agree Twitter bitches shouldn’t have an opinion on a game they’ll never play because they aren’t actually gamers. Still tho I don’t get how people can be so pissed about the letters A and B

@@xXLunatikxXlul because saying that a body with boobs is female and one without is male is sexist. (I don’t really know, my comments are mostly “I laugh so I don’t cry”, but I don’t see other explanations). It doesn’t really matter to me honestly. I just hope they don’t come out bitching about the game anyway.
@@xXLunatikxXlul because why not. It’s 2020 at least let people that don’t identify as male or female make a character they associate with. Idrc but I can see they’re just being kind.
Then again, this isn’t something to get angry over. It’s not like they made patches a flamboyant homosexual that has a romantic infatuation with the character, no they just changed 2 words into letters

im not angry about the changes more so that im angry that im getting hustled $575 for one game...my favorite fromsoft game, smile :(

Hasn't that been the case for years in the gaming industry? If you buy the same game twice then you hustled yourself. You'll probably do it again.
Even Aris is making fun of you.
Retards deserve to be scammed
You don't need to buy a butchered version of a game you already played dude.
On one hand I’m mad that the stupid carry weight thing is still in the remake but on the other hand I’m glad bluepoint didn’t change it because they would probably find some kind of way to ruin that as well
Bluepoint has done an incredible job. Not sure what to hate on.
Lmao you're complaining about something that didn't even happen, go get your meds
I am body type A and thanks for video.
It does sometimes. I also think a lot of the graphical "improvements" make it look kinda soulless and sterile in a way compared to the original. Sue me.

some of the music is better on the original and some on the remake. its all preference. it would sound out of place I think with the old soundtrack with this new graphic approach and changes.
"Your team sucks, it's not happy, it's complaining." My team rules. We appreciate games and love them more. Instead of just playing a game once and moving on to something else, we enjoy it to the point that it becomes enriching. When someone says, "I'm just glad that I'm happy playing this game." it sounds like they're just going to forget it a week after they beat it because every experience in their life is a shallow one.
What a shit take. Fromsoft fanboys try not to reach challenge *IMPOSSIBLE*
One of the only games you can say "Wow this shit looks REALLY fucking good" and actually mean it :D
Changes to remakes are what I look for to see what new ideas they've added to the experience to make it better by their standards, like FFVIIR and REmake, because if I wanted it to be the exact same way, I'd just play the original version.
FF7 is different. The original has been ported to every platform known to man. The original Demon's Souls has not
If game preservation was a thing this would make sense, but it's not. Some games will forever be lost or be difficult to obtain and experience. If the remake shipped with OG Demon Souls it would be amazing. The Odin Sphere remake also gives you the original game which I wish more remakes took into consideration.
@@sneakman9873 Is Demon's Souls available for emulation?
@@flamuralaj3302 It is, but it takes high end hardware most people aren't going to have. Also, Emulation is extremely finicky especially with something like the PS3, so it will hardly ever be as 1-1 as original hardware.
@@sneakman9873 And they probably thought about porting it over as it was initially, but realized how janky it looked and performed and might have thought how much better if would be to give people another chance to play it while looking and performing far smoother than it did on PS3.
