Matthewmatosis Souls Video

Good video. Yeah, Demon's Souls was best. I hope Miyazaki really is working something new and unique.

I just want a demons souls remastered, but publishing rights keep it from happening.

Seems too early for that, like most remasters. I appreciate how older games have gotten touch ups and performance boosts recently but games like Demon's Souls and Dark Souls both deserve more exceptional treatment. I'd like to see an "Archstone Edition" or "Rekindled Edition" respectively that not only gives them Naughty Dog/God of War level detail but also enhances physics to impact gameplay nuances even further, as well as finally releasing the cut content that's been floating around YouTube the last few years.

That's what I mean by remastered. Have demons souls get all the cut content and refinements with the weapons upgrade and gameplay.

You know, sometimes content is cut for good reasons. I've seen so many movies made less special by director's cuts and extended editions that add filler and hurt the pacing of the theatrical versions. Sometimes it's better to be lean.

The land of the giants looks kind of bland and too much like the Boletarian castle, in a game full of completely unique environments. Making the Archestone broken adds mystique to the world. I don't even get how giants would fit and move through those dense surroundings.

It's essentially just a fortress in the middle of a barren wasteland. While it was obviously unfinished physically and perhaps even thematically, I agree with "less is more" in this case, and it helped make Demon's Souls more endearing.

What I meant by ever releasing the cut content is, doing it justice or not doing it at all. It would be interesting if they left the archstone broken and instead had the player find a backdoor to the world, given Miyazaki's penchant for design.

Demon's Souls is super cool, but I was never able to finish it despite beating all of the other Souls games. The controls were just way too clunky and springy (a problem I also have with Dark Souls 1. It's fast, but stiff, and the weird bouncy roll kills me). I have an extremely hard time going back to pre-DS2, because losing 360 degree rolling while locked just hurts too much. I can play unlocked when I need to, but doing it all the time isn't as fun for me.

I'm honestly done with Souls for now though, I played through DS2 too many times and found 3 super underwhelming. Bring back Lost Kingdoms or King's Field, FromSoft!
