Has there been any confirmation that Demon's Souls PS5 is a proper RPG like the original?

[Deleted member 16908]

So far all we've seen is the same knight character over and over. Have they confirmed there will be a character creator with different classes, armor sets, weapons, spells, etc.?

I'm a little worried they cut the game down to knight-only in order to get it out in time for PS5 launch.

Eh... In what world would that make sense?

 

[Platy]

it is the same game with a coat of paint and servers that works

This.

 

[III-V]

Come on now lol

 

[Jeenaud]

It's the same game they only redid the graphics

 

[super-famicom]

If you've played a Souls game, it's gonna be like that

 

[zombiejames]

What? This is a remake.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

It's the exact same game. At least, they're not gonna change anything that significant.

 

[entremet]

Today has been a doozy of threads lol.

 

[TinTuba47]

If they did that the gamer rage would be unprecedented. It'll be the full game, guaranteed.

Marketing is marketing

 

[GFdoom]

the game is a remake of the original, it will most definitely have all that was in it. They show the Knight character because that is the character on the cover, think of the knight as the unofficial official mascot of the souls series.

 

[Precious Tritium]

We don't always need to assume the worst.

It's a "Remake" would be a huge omission if it's not even a Rpg. C'mon now.

 

[Kalentan]

Yes, they have decided to take out everything.

 

[ScaleboundGOTY]

The confirmation is its called "Demon Souls Remastered"

 

[Solaire]

My uncle confirmed there is only the knight available and every single enemy is a one hit kill. Normal difficulty will be dlc down the line.

 

[litebrite]

That would be wild if they remade it into a different genre. LOL

It was essential to us that we recreated Demon's Souls in such a way that longtime fans are transported back to the Boletaria they love. It's the Boletaria that has been growing and maturing in their imaginations for over a decade. A place where every room, corner, and corridor has a story to tell. Here, the original characters, encounters and battles are brought to life in greater fidelity, making the story even richer and darker.

Even as we went back to the drawing board to build upon the original art, sound, music, and feel, our goal was always to remain true to the vision of the original classic – its story, gameplay and level design. With this in mind, we fine-tuned the title to ensure the game remains fresh and appeals to new users accustomed to modern controls and experiences.

imagine remaking a game but not including the RPG mechanics, the gear or the spells.

 

[Faiyaz]

Will it even be a video game?

 

[Lulu]

it's a gacha game now actually, have fun rolling.

 

[Donos]

early weekend era?

 

[out_of_touch]

I wouldn't be shocked, Sony is the same company who turned TLoU into a single player game when it used to be primarily multiplayer. What a joke.

 

[Deleted member 23212]

It's not Sekiro, I'm almost sure they're going to have RPG elements.

 

[Euron]

No but judging by the gameplay it's actually a FPS set during the Iran Contra Affair.

Spoiler

Soulsborne gameplay demos typically have an overpowered character in order to make the demos watchable. Bloodborne's advertising made it seem like a power fantasy but it sure as hell wasn't.

As for the armor, it's iconic so gameplays been focused on that. We've only seen one demo so I wouldn't be worried and as others have said Bluepoint has openly committed to being faithful to the original.

 

[Platy]

i understand your worries ... i mean if they changed such basic gameplay elements like dragon breath scene being 3fps it means the CORE of the game is at risk

 

[Samanosuke Akechi]

No it has nothing of the original. Nothing. Nope. Even though it's a remake, they took everything out. Sorry.

 

[Mona]

what in tarnation

 

[Jawbreaker]

Wh ... why wouldn't it be? It's a remake.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

the game is actually played with the RingFit, that's why the player was like rushing through the level. it was a good workout for the demo person.

 

[Ocean Bones]

Now it's just an on the rails hack and slash. You press x when the character comes close to enemies and if your timing is good you win. Get perfect timing on every swing for each level and you get an S score at the end with bonus points and loot

BP have been working on this game for a few years now, it's not something they were only given a 8 to 12 month window to create ..

 

[Gibson]

There should be a 'Are you sure you want to post this thread?' notice before submitting...

 

[Xavillin]

I heard if you press the X, X, X and then the Y, Y, Y, you will be sucked. WOW.

???????

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

I'm pretty sure we have this same concern for Dark Souls 3.

I felt deja vu here

 

[GazRB]

OP do you know who Bluepoint is?

 

[RestEerie]

what's with all the 'big brain' concerning?

what's wrong with this forum?

 

[nbnt]

I like how no one reads OPs.

I think you have a point, and there's a chance some things were cut in order to meet the deadline, but we don't know yet.

 

[Morrigan]

Every single Soulsborne trailer showed a default knight (or hunter) character and didn't show RPG menus etc.

This is nothing new or special. Demon's Souls will likely be an RPG just like the original. Feel free to remake this thread if you have actual evidence to the contrary.
