It seems that the recent release of Bloodborne: The Old Hunters has had people guzzling down the good blood. A fairly innocent tweet on the abovementioned title's Twitter page has people in a frenzy over a potential Demon's Souls remaster for the PlayStation 4. The snap shows a stack of copies of From Software's latest, with its iconic PlayStation 3 exclusive nestled on top. Interestingly, the last-gen system's logo has been purposefully obscured.
Could it happen? Well, we know that Sony's no stranger to remasters, and one has to imagine that this would sell better than the likes of Beyond: Two Souls and even Gravity Rush Remastered. Moreover, it's worth remembering that Japan Studio helped to develop the first ever Souls title, but the platform holder famously opted not to publish it in Europe and North America. There's every chance that it may want to rectify that error.
We're not convinced to be honest. There's a Souls streaming event ongoing right now where Demon's Souls has been the focus of the attention, and with Dark Souls III right around the corner, we do worry that this type of game is being overexposed. Having said that, it does seem like the kind of thing that the Japanese giant would reveal at PlayStation Experience, so the timing of this supposed "tease" seems right. You're probably best tempering your expectations and watching this space.

I'd love to revisit Demon's Souls after all these years. It's still my favorite in the 'souls' series.. by far.
I'll pass... I thought Demon's Souls was a tad too cruel and never finished it as a result.
@NathanUC
Same here! But it wasn't just the game, it was playing it, as what felt, all by yourself on this side of the world. You'd tell friends about it and you would be the guy with the obscure Japanese titles, easing other people into the genre...I felt like a pioneer!
I keep on saying how much I dislike remaster yet I keep on buying them... But if I had to choose one out of the entire library, this would be it!
It's like the video game industry got together and said let's remaster everything but Mass Effect.
This would be so amazing. I really hope it's true.
I'll pass thanks. I already own it thanks to PlayStation Plus and I find it to hard. I will stick with Bloodborne. Besides, it would need alot of work considering how old it is.
I really hope they do. Demon's Souls is one of the best Souls game's, it would be excellent at 60fps, not only that the excellent World Tendency.
I'd buy it.
But I bought GoW 3 Remastered so I'm a sucker for this stuff.
omg!!! take my soul now!!!
I love Demon's Souls. It's the only game I have a platinum with, and I would buy a PS4 just for this. My favorite Souls game ever!!!
Aaaaaagh! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!!
Demon's Souls!!
A DEMON' SOULS REMASTER AND PS2 EMULATION WILL MAKE THE PS4 THE GREATEST CONSOLE OF ALL TIME.
DEMON'S SOULS REMASTER OVER UNCHARTED AND GOW REMASTER ANY DAY.
TAKE MY MONEY NOW.
I would buy it in a heart beat, it was by far the best. The game gave me special feels that were never recaptured by dark souls. Please please please do it!
@Jambo4170 Dark and Demon's are honestly probably the best games that From Software has ever made. Bloodborne is amazing but the Souls series is much more beautiful while Bloodborne is much more gruesome and brutal, yet stellar.
I missed this since I had a 360 for last gen than this will be a must buy!
Pass, like with every PS4 remaster if true.
@Malcefium not Ninja Blade?
Too many remasters, Sony, just tell people to buy a PS3. Maybe drop the price a bit to make it enticing.
Give us Dark Souls as well!
I want all the Souls games on my PS4, dammit.
@themcnoisy Ninja Blade, while having a decent Combat system, wasn't still the best game From Soft game when you compare it to the first two Tenchu games. Besides the game was a mixed bag. I checked most of From Soft games and it seems that Tenchu 1/2, 3D Dot Game Heroes, Classic Armored Games, Echo Night (1), Otogi and the Souls were the best they made. Don't know what can I say about Chromehounds and I forgot to check Metal Black Wolf' reception. King's Field weren't very popular nor were they memorable for the audience despite true Souls fans remembering them.
I'll absolutely buy the game if it includes the deleted content like the new archstone, anthropomorphic enemies like hyena warriors and owl mages and the premature death mode. Especially add in some unobtainable weapons and armors like the Tower Knight's weapon and armor though I would be worried if the Tower Knight armor could be Demon's Souls Havel set.
@Neolit I'm just saying man, a Dark Souls 1 or Demon's Souls Remaster is essential since Dark Souls 3 will be the last of the Souls series.
@themcnoisy No man, Demon's Souls is much more needed.
@AyeHaley Agreed. >
