Rest assured, this is a 4K mastered video - but once again, we're waiting on RU-vid's encoders to catch up. Check back later for improved 1080p quality and full 4K60 encoding. It's frustrating - this situation is entirely out of our control.

After playing and beating the game twice now on PS5 I can say for sure that this is in my opinion the best looking game I’ve ever played on console. It’s absolutely stunning, never in any other game have I just stopped to admire the surroundings and detail as much as I have in Demon’s Souls, it’s incredible. Now I want to see Bluepoint do the same for Bloodborne, I imagine it would be gorgeous.

@radekseky4571 2 года назад

I didn't want it at first, it's a 2015 game, but after I've seen personally just what they've done with Demon's Souls I crave it. Taking all the goods of From Software and giving it the visual polish almost all of their games lack and then some would be something truly spectacular.

The only thing that prevents this version from being a permanent replacement for the original, is the new soundtrack. In a vacuum, the music is fantastic. Comparing it to the original's however, and I definitely prefer the more subdued style there. I feel like an optional toggle between the original and new soundtracks would've made this a perfect remake.

You will get it super-sampled in both cases,.. either from at least 1440P (which is 2-3x natural AA, without loosing details) or from 4K native(which is 4x AA aslo without loosing details). If you are talking about monitors,.. you are going to notice scaling ,.. because native is the best,..
