I’d be so down for that
From Software’sshift away from theSoulsseriesto something else post-Dark Souls IIIis probably for the best, but damn do I still really want a remaster ofDemon’s Soulsto happen. You too?
Beyond better visuals and performance and not needing to dig out my dusty PlayStation 3, a new port would also surely do wonders for the online aspect, something I didn’t get to experience at its fullest. I’ve only done theOld Monkfight against the AI, not a human player, to name one example (and to say nothing of the many current From Software fans who haven’t even touchedDemon’s Souls).
If a remaster were to ever happen, though, I’d want it to come through a different studio. Which brings us to a recent remark made by From Software president andDemon’s Soulsdirector Hidetaka Miyazaki.
Speaking toGameSpot, Miyazaki said “It seems like there was a misunderstanding in a previous interview in relation to a remake or a remastering of the game, so let me reiterate here. TheDark Souls series is Bandai Namco Entertainment’s IP, andDemon’s SoulsandBloodborneis Sony Interactive Entertainment’s IP. Hence, the decision to do a remake or remastering is under their jurisdiction. For me and for From Software, I don’t think we’ll be involved with their happening, but it could happen through another developer.”
