Think we’ll ever get a Demon Souls remaster?

I always thought DeS had a better world building and ambiance than it's successors, the Dark Soul series.
DeS was the first Souls game I played, and at first, Dark Souls felt like a downgrade. At first only though, DeS was a great first game but was very clunky, and it's difficulty is the more unfair of all the Souls games.
In my mind, Bloodborne was the real Demon's Souls spiritual successor, not Dark Souls.
Demon's Souls with a bit of gameplay overhaul would be so rad though, but I doubt they'll be able to change enough to overcome it's dated gameplay.

A remaster won't make it look as good as it would look if it gets the SOTC treatment. Sony has the time and money now? Good. Go all out and let a great 3rd party indie dev make a nice remaster/remake.
Completely agree. Despite the gameplay similarities and the From Software studio style (or Miyazaki's aurtership if you prefer). One of the big reasons I liked DeS so much was it's atmosphere, how it played with horror elements, the old ones (and broken stones) sense of mystery, how the different elements fitted the game so well that they didn't in DaS, and the diversity of ideas implemented used to subvert expectations. Bloodborne captures far more of that than DaS does and pushes some of those elements further whereas DaS doesn't really touch them. Despite very much enjoying the DaS games none of them connected with me in the same way Demon's and Bloodborne did.
I have also seen many hold the opposite view but for the same reasons.
The game didn't have midi music. The soundtrack is orchestral (and samples of real instruments if I had to guess at times in a few tracks). https://vgmdb.net/album/15024

You sure? It honestly sounds like midi in my opinion, but I guess that's just me.
Yes, you can see in my link and in the game credits the musicians that were part of the orchestra and where they recorded the soundtrack.

Only Dark Souls 2 have MIDI/synthesized music from my knowledge.

Yes, I would like to try this game again. I don't have a PS3 anymore, so it's a shame you can't play it anywhere else. Hope they release it during the PS4 cycle if they do. Since Souls has been retired, it will be nice to go back to Demon's. I never actually beat it.
Wow
I started Demon Souls on PS3 but never managed to beat it, i hope i'll get a second chance soon.
