You want it, you need it, and Bluepoint Games has delivered with a new gameplay trailer for their upcoming remake of Demon’s Souls. Along with the new trailer comes a bunch of new details on the game, which Gematsu was able to summarize.
Here are the details:
- The creators of the original game, Hidetaka Miyazaki and From Software, gave Bluepoint Games their blessing to remake Demon’s Souls, but were not involved in the day-to-to-day production of the game.
- There is a new option within the Nexus where players can “store” their character, as well as allowing players to change their character by paying a certain amount of souls. Sony Interactive Entertainment Japan Studio creative director Gavin Moore stated that Bluepoint have updated the character creator and created “thousands upon thousands of new permutations where you can create and you can play.”
- The camera has been changed, but you can change back to the old camera if you dislike the new camera.
- There are filters that let you play in black and white, a classic filter that “harkens back to the days of the PlayStation 3,” and more.
- World Tendency is exactly the same. The user interface has been adjusted to make it easier for the player to understand which state the World Tendency is in.
- Players will now have a more limited supply of grasses for them to carry, as the more powerful grasses such as “Full Moon Grass” will weigh more than less effective grasses.
- “Fractured Mode is basically the Fractured World and it’s a mirror mode,” Moore said. “And actually, that’s challenging because you reverse the map.”
- Everything that was in the original PlayStation 3 version is in the standard edition. There is also “a ton of new content to find.” But there is no sixth Archstone.
- There are two gameplay modes: “Cinematic,” which is native 4K resolution at 30 frames per second; and “Performance,” which is dynamic 4K resolution at 60 frames per second.
- A Photo Mode is included.
- There are no difficulty settings. “It’s true to the original.”
Demon’s Souls is due out for PlayStation 5 on November 12 in North America and Japan, and November 19 in Europe.
