Demon's Souls Remaster Rumours Reignited by One Word from Kotaku Editor Jason Schreier

I’ll respond with one word. No.

I hope so, with the added easy mode for beginner like me

Yes!
Same thought as JS.

Damm Ps4 will be the home of the entire Souls Experience, 5 games in total.

Given that Konami has seemingly stopped caring about video games, I was really hoping Sony worked out some deal with them to get BluePoint to remake MGS.

I’ll take Demon Souls though.

PS3 ports here! Get yer PS3 ports here! Get'em while you can, once the PS5 launches you'll be getting PS4 ports. Last call for PS3 ports here!

I hope Bluepoint are also working on ICO

@rjejr remake is not a port

@jswhitfield8 You could have written this article using my name and the word "yes" instead of Jason Schreier and it would have had the exact same lasting effect. Hit the nail on the head.

@TheGreatHahn @JJ2 @jswhitfield8 Because Schreier is probably the most in-the-know games journalist working right now? His track record on rumours and leaks is second to none — he has contacts everywhere. I doubt he'd say anything if something wasn't up.

Maybe he just thinks it will happen at some point, just like everyone else.

Wait, you guys didn't want to report on pointless rumours, right?

@rjejr get your Wilkins coffee here.get it while Kermit is out of control with his commercial.i hope you still drinks Wilkins coffee.😳🙊🙈😁.haha.word up son

@playstation1995 The Wilkins coffee would help explain this.

@Amppari remaster is not a remake

@TheGreatHahn

@jswhitfield8 It’s like a badly written fanfic. Jason looked directly into the eyes of the journalist. “Yes”. There was a stunned silence for a brief moment. Slowly, applause built in the room. Jason had done it again.

@jswhitfield8 Whenever Jason posts on that forum, there's a reason behind it. The bottom line is that he's not just some "insider" on Twitter, and I really don't think he's enough of a troll to post a one word answer in a thread like that without knowing something — he knows people will go nuts.

Besides it's like Sammy says, these Demon's Souls rumours have been doing the rounds for what feels like years now. There probably is something to them at this point. All about context, I suppose.

@Constable_What The problem is the save point is usually too scarce, bloodborne gameplay is top notch but I don't like replaying the same area over and over again because I died getting 1 or 2 hits from enemy . I don't mind hard game/fight like gow valkyrie queen as long as the save point is fair.

Man valkyrie queen fight is so epic, I want to replay gow again sometimes

You are all wrong its a remake for Legend of Dragoon. 😃

They should push for Demon Souls II, if From Soft aren't interested then farm it out to team Ninja (nioh)

@MadAussieBloke that's disgusting.even looking at that makes me want to throw up.nasty ass food .😠.haha word up son

@rjejr hahaha 👍.everyone in pushsquare needs to drink Wilkins ☕ coffee.word up son

While I don;t doubt Jason's credibility can we just stop with remasters that don't need to be remastered? Why did they remaster dark souls 2, then 1 and now the first one in a backwards pattern? Big budget gaming is going the way of Hollywood where they are just running out of ideas but its even worse because a game doesn't even need to be a decade old for it to get the remaster treatment. I'm sure i'm not the first to say this, but unless a game is re-imagined 20+ years after its release, just play it on the original hardware, freaking waste.

There's a YouTube video with all the cut content from the game.

Extra monsters and designs for other levels were partially developed.

I seem to remember most of them were humanoid animal monsters.

It would be cool if they could restore some lost content as a value-add.

I think a remaster would be a great idea and set the stage for a sequel.

Jason Schreier isn't a respected member of games media, he's a shrill child who talks s*** about YouTubers.

Not gonna lie, I'm a little disappointed the one word wasn't Umbasa.

@Azuren Jason also defended predatory micro transaction practices by the likes of companies, like EA.

He has no integrity in my book, nor does the sleazy tabloid that is Kotaku he writes for.

He wouldn't be able to post that comment here. He'd have to make it longer.

I hope it is coming. I didn't had the chance to try it, but after playing Dark Souls 1, 2 and Bloodborne, I sure want to try Demon Souls. That said, if they ever do it, I hope it is a remaster like Shadow of the Colossus and not like Dark Souls Remastered.

@mazz those remasters give publishers an extra revenue stream to create new games... how is that a bad thing? had ps3 games been compatible on ps4, perhaps some projects would have been less likely to happen, but seeing as that is not the case, there was also a dire NEED for many remasters. plus, it's not like anyone is forcing you to purchase them. i cannot understand your argument seeing as the ps4 generation is one of the best in history — we have seen many new IP, remakes and remasters. it has been a perfect balance.

Please, I really hope this is true.
Demon’s Souls still is my favorite Souls game, being the first of the series and all.

@ShogunRok He's also wrong sometimes too, which means taking him at his word on anything until he provides actual proof (and not hearsay from a "contact") makes everything invalid until then, no matter how much his fellow peers seem to worship the pages he types on.

Wow! I can't wait to get the pure bladestone again! - said no one ever

@Porco Sure I get your point, but remaster games that actually would benefit from a remaster. PS3 games still look great and if people want to play them on newer hardware just throw a port of the game on the PS store and just as many people will buy it, not to mention it would reach people faster and more than likely would be less money out of the publishers pocket for them to increase the revenue of the release, even if they upscale the graphics like the PS2 classics collection. Speaking of PS 2 classics, the reason no one buys those is because those are the games that truly DO deserve remasters/ remakes. Everyone and their mother has played GTA 3, slightly better graphics and trophies don't do crap for the game, but imagine if GTA 3 was remade to be like GTA 5? Obviously Take two might not be the best example of a publisher that needs more money....but that's kind of what would like to see more of, and i think everybody wins in a scenario like this.

@mazz well, the vast majority of ps2 "classics" did get the remaster treatment on ps3. those remasters did not get re-ported to ps4, though... if ps5 is b/c with ps3, we are in luck. that said, the ps2 classics on ps4 look very nice. i don't know what happened to sony's ps2 classics program, but it appears they abandoned it completely. maybe they have plans to bring it back in full force with the ps5, who knows.

@PS_Nation me too

He's not really respected, this is a man who said objectivity in journalism is "a silly thing to strive for". Plus, Kotaku have been a running joke for at least a decade.

His one word answer also sounds oddly smug. If he knows something, it's weird to not confirm it more clearly. If he doesn't know something, why make such a simple, definite answer rather than saying "I think it's likely because..."

The upshot is, he might be right, he might not be. Given long enough there almost certainly will be a remaster or remake of such a highly regarded game so it's a pretty safe bet sooner or later. Saying something will happen, but not when, is an unfalsifiable claim so has no substance.

I wanna hear it in a man's voice

I think It's a good time for Blue Point to make a new IP.

@Aspergillus And remaster it while they're making it.

@Octane
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Demon's souls remastered
And new IP too.

@Fight_Sora_Fight Hope for MGS remakes from bluepoint as well.
Demon souls is great, but would only require a remaster, since the gameplay still holds up to today's standards.

I'd love for this to be a proper, full remake, Shadow of the Colossus-style, for next gen consoles. Hoo boy. A remaster would be fine too of course but a full remake would be even tastier.

@rjejr: Sony just needs to make a PS4 Mini with nothing but preloaded PS3 ports.

@Ryno Do PS2 games remastered on PS3 but ported to PS4 count? Not sure there are enough games on PS3 that weren't on PS2 first. And I'm not buying it unless it has Jak & Daxter.
If they add on Spyro they can call it this:

PS4 Mini: The PS 1, 2 and 3 Collection: Playstation by the Numbers

Haunting cinematic music plays

In Boletaria, your enemies outnumber you.

They're bigger than you...

They're stronger...

And they want YOUR soul!
