Despite this being good news for those who never got to experience Demon’s Souls, some users have already pointed out how different the experience looks from an aesthetic standpoint.
Not unlike Shadow of the Colossus, it looks like a number of minor changes were made that vastly impact the overall tone. Simple things like lighting changes or how a background is displayed has a pretty big impact on look and something that has a number of players worried.
Time will tell but at least players will get to experience some version of Demon’s Souls.
