Given the defects of the original camera, Bluepoint Games has made adjustments to it, although we can play as it was in 2009 on PlayStation 3.
The remake of Demon’s Souls is no longer one of the most desired games of recent years, but from the moment it was confirmed that it was a reality, it is already one of the most anticipated, being probably the most powerful title of the launch of PS5, along with Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Those who enjoyed the original more than a decade ago will not only play a technically improved version, but with playable settings that will make it an even better experience, the camera being one of the aspects that have been retouched.
A camera more in line with current times
In our interview with Gavin Moore, creative director of the game, he recognized that this was far from perfect back in 2009, to which there were exasperating loading times and a very unstable frame rate.
“Demon’s Souls was very difficult for anyone also because of the camera,” said Moore. “The rooms and hallways are very narrow, it’s very difficult to prevent the camera from going through the environment and hitting the wall, or getting into character. So what we have done is to implement a system of repositioning the camera so that it is not disoriented; now it is much more fluid and it is always where it should be. Let’s say that the camera is now more natural, you will not feel disoriented. “
Of course, Moore clarifies that if someone wants something closer to the original experience, they will have it, and will be able to continue with the PS3 game camera. “If you don’t like our new camera and want to play with the old one, you can activate the camera from the original game, he says.
Another talking point that always comes up around From Software titles is about difficulty. Moore assured us that this remake will not have a selector, since according to him, “if this is Demon’s Souls, it must be like the original game.”
