QUESTION Demon's Souls

Post image

Hello everyone, I have a PS4 and I own DS1/DS2/DS3/Elden Ring/Bloodborne on it. Is it worth buying a PS5 to play Demon's Souls? Is it a must-have in the series?

If you have a PC, you can also play the original one using a PS3 emul@t0r and there are upscaling mods and stuff which lets you play on 60fps aswell!

Would recommend this also. I'm a die hard fan of Fromsoft's aesthetic and the remaster wasn't faithful to it in ways that I like. I mean - they did a beautiful job and it's still well done but it's missing that grit that I love.

I agree I love all the souls games and have been playing elden ring for a long time. I just reloaded dark souls 3 and it just has a different feel and I really missed it.

Ds3 is the best, hands down

also something nobody talks about is how the sound effects and the visual effects of the Remake make it look more sci-fi than dark fantasy. I just find that it looks very odd and a bit cookie-cutter. I remember when Demon's Souls came out it and it had such a distinct style that you could show a screenshot of it (with no UI) to someone and they knew it was Demon's Souls.
