Bluepoint are technical wizards but every artistic decision they make is standard west-dev inelegant genericized bullshit.

MODERATORS
Are you another dude upset about the aesthetic changes to demon souls? I thought it looked badass. But I know a small minority hated its look
It looks worse in almost every way, yes.
That's cool. I thought it looked badass, but I am aware of the minority that didn't like it. They brought it closer to looking more like dark souls 3 style darker and more grotesque, I can see some people being upset that it doesn't look like the originals vision of itself
I wouldn't even say it looks like DS3, it's got its own style although I guess it has some of the more BLoodborne/Dark Souls 3* gothic elements. I wouldn't mind remakes like it if they substantially changed gameplay, etc. along with it like how FF7 Remake did it 'cause then it's easier to argue for why the original game can't be displaced but I know 99% of people are going to play the Demon remake now with its bizarre aesthetic changes of bosses that tweak things in ways I think are always for the worse outside visual clarity/performance.
Very slowly seeing the Souls community realize that the original DS2 release is actually better was been kinda' gratifying to me at least. Steam reviews for it all mention the original had better and more meaningful enemy placement, etc. etc.
Too bad most people say "play the new thing with the most content" without looking at the actual quality of the thing. Very consumer-brained.
It just has the same dark fantasy aesthetics IMO as those two games, no it doesn't look exactly like them, but It skews closer to those titles than the original demon souls. Which Is fine with me, but I'm not knocking you for not liking it.
Just for me personally it was the reason I bought a PS5 and was a 9.5 game for me.
It's Shadow of the Colossus, therefore it is good
Correct opinion
I’ve never been able to get into shadow of the colossus 
Idk why it doesn’t click with me. I’ve beat the first couple colossi a few times and I always fall off shortly after that
Same.
The one they did for the PS3 was great.
The PS4 one, not as much.
I liked it and the graphics but I also didn't sit there zoom in on Wanders face (there's a reason the camera is panned so far away from him most of the time methinks) The environments were beautiful.
Shadow of the Colossus should run at 15fps on a PS2 and the PS2 should be close to exploding while playing. That's not me being ironic btw, I'm being one hundred percent serious.
There's a remake??
Yeah it came out on PS4
