Demon’s Souls will largely play identically to its PlayStation 3 predecessor on the PlayStation 5, but Bluepoint Games is making some subtle changes to improve the experience on Sony’s next-gen console. One addition is the now-obligatory Photo Mode, which creative director Gavin Moore told Polygon is “exceptionally amazing in-depth”.
“People want to share their experiences – the tragedies of, ‘Oh my god, I died again,’ or your trials as you succeed with your friends,” Moore explained. “There are some other modes in there as well, that I won’t talk about, I will let the fans find out for themselves. But we definitely want to see what people create using the Photo Mode.”
A neat touch is that you’ll be able to apply filters to the game, and much like Ghost of Tsushima, you can keep these enabled throughout the entire campaign. One of these filters has been inspired by the original PS3 game: “If you like the starkness and the despair of the original version, then we have a bunch of filters that you can choose from and play the game [that way].”
There’s also a black-and-white filter, among others that the developer is keeping secret for now. However, Moore insists that people stick with the default look to begin with: “If the fans could just play the game the way that we made it, then I would ask that they would do that. I’d be very grateful. Though after that, play the game how you like to play it, please.”

If they don't call the PS3 filter the Cell-processed filter I'll be sad
But hey now you can relive what it was like to have Demon's Souls back when it was an Atlus game in the West lmao
I plan to replay this at least six times before the year's over.
I'm starting to love this Moore guy.
@TheFrenchiestFry
I think the Polygon article mentioned it would be called "classic filter"!
After dying over 100 times my TV will have a unique filter, here is an artistic recreation of said filter.
@DonJorginho The true Fractured Mode.
oh boy, Demon's Souls is totally filling the empty hole left in my heart from the silence of Elden Ring.
@Sam-Bridges George RR Martin taking years to fulfill a promise he made to fans?
Congratulations you now know what it's like to be a Song of Ice & Fire fan waiting for Winds of Winter
@ScottyG That's pretty nice. As long as it makes the opening boss look like a big buldging turd like he did back then, I'll be happy
Hi there fellow gamers. After seing some of the game Informer interview, I´m starting to apreciate Gavin´s Moore and the entire Bluepoint team a lot more.
They obviously treated this game with all the heart and soul(pun intended) so that both the original developers, the fans of the game and themselves to be perfectely happy with what they were able to acomplish with this remake.
And I belive that the team really wants to continue to make more awesome remakes from the amazing Playstation games library.
Maybe MGS??? One can only hope.
Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming to us all
@RaZieLDaNtE MGS would be amazing, but personally I'd prefer to see Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 get remakes first in the Fox Engine.
I feel like the only reason I'd want an MGS remake at this point is so that it could have a closer atmosphere and tone to the original game compared to Twin Snakes, but other than that I thought Twin Snakes was actually a pretty good game all things considered.
I have almost zero interest in this, however I will heap praise on Bluepoint. They are damn good at what they do.
Now do Syphon Filter you bitches.
@TheFrenchiestFry I think you mean "Cell shading"
Awesome. I wonder if that means it looks like the PS3 version, or if it just makes it look more dreary like it did back then. I'm guessing the later honestly. Cool stuff with the filers. I think I will take them up on their request to play it the way they made the first time, though.
@Enuo Not me no PS5 available 😔
@ScottyG @TheFrenchiestFry i demand it be called the emotion engine personally
@TheFrenchiestFry Hi there friend.
Yeah, now that you mention it, a remake of the first two original games would be awesome.
Seing Snake being green and metting Grey Fox for the very first time and actualy playing that fateful Boss fight.....
Yeah, that would be awesome indeed.
Twin Snakes on Game Cube was okay though. But it lacked, I don´t know, something.
Anyway, I had just seen the Intro of MGS being remade in Unreal and I just really, really wanted to play the game for the 100th time but looking like that.
Again, one can only hope.
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one 👍
@TheFrenchiestFry Dude that kinda hurts lol. I'm not the biggest fan of A Song of Ice and Fire, but hell I'm excited to read that too.
You're right though, which is why it hurts I guess? I just want a simple trailer from Elden Ring... a screenshot would do... I'm going hollow, I'm afraid lol.
