Many in the gaming community have long anticipated the remake of the cult classic Demon’s Souls. Since the game’s initial release back in 2009, it not only became the precursor to the popular Dark Souls series, but also received a sizable, dedicated group of fans. Now, with the remake of Demon’s Souls just a couple months away from its release, some disconcerting news has begun to surface.
Ever since Bluepoint Games initially unveiled the existence of the Demon’s Souls remake during the PS5 reveal event, numerous fans of the original game have been eagerly looking forward to the game’s release later this year. Bluepoint’s remake of Shadow of the Colossus was well received by many in the gaming community, thus making the remake of Demon’s Souls highly anticipated by numerous fans. Though, fans may not be playing the game at the quality they want to.
According to a recent report made by Digital Foundry, the remake of Demon’s Souls will not meet the standard next-gen expectations in terms of graphical quality. All next-gen games are expected to run at 4K 60fps, whereas Demon’s Souls can reportedly only run at 1440p 60fps. This news comes in stark contrast to the impressive gameplay footage of Demon’s Souls shown at the recent PS5 event.
For those who care immensely about video quality and frame rates, if this news is true, then it is rather unfortunate. Especially considering that there are currently no plans to port the Demon’s Souls remake to PC, thus there will be no way for players to access widespread mods to enhance the graphics to the quality that they want and their monitor or television supports.
Although, having said all of this, it is important to take this news with a grain of salt. After all, the game is still practically two months away from release. Therefore, the developers still have plenty of time to iron out any sort of graphical hiccups the game may or may not have. Though, this could potentially increase the Demon’s Souls‘ game file size, making it larger than it already is.
In any case, 1440p is only one echelon below 4K video quality, so for most players, this difference in video quality should not be too big of a discrepancy. That is of course, if the game can only run at 1440p, in which case, it’s still ultimately a massive increase in quality compared to the PS3 version of Demon’s Souls.
Demon’s Souls is set to launch on November 12th, 2020 on PS5.
