Demon’s Souls is one of the most beloved PlayStation 3 games, and it’s getting a new lease of life on the PlayStation 5 courtesy of a Bluepoint remake. The initial trailer revealed an enormous upgrade, but seeing some side-by-side comparisons with the original demonstrates just how far we’ve come.
Full credit must go to Dark Souls Dissected host IllusoryWall for putting these excellent comparisons together. We should also add that the “original” screenshots have been upscaled in 4K, meaning they’re as flattering to the original as possible – it never actually looked this clean on the PS3.
You can view more comparisons on IllusoryWall’s Twitter account – it’s pretty impressive stuff. And if you want to ogle some more PS5 screenshots, check out our Demon’s Souls gallery. What do you think of this remake? Burn your soul in the comments section below.

Someone please show this to Martin Robinson over at Eurogamer! He was quite happy trashing it as "not grimy enough"!!
@Robocod Seen this comment a lot. I think it's weird, personally, but each to their own.
Sony should def sign bluepoint. They do excellent work.
Oh mercy I can't wait for this. This is the big one for me.
I actually can't believe the games we're getting these days. It's a great time to play.
@Cyrus29 Definitely. It has to happen.
Thanks... Now my pants are wet.
Really drives home just how incredible this remake is, very impressive. Absolute must buy.
another stellar bit of work by Bluepoint
Looks incredible. This was the first game ever I signed a petition for, so glad it's been remade. Remember World tendency, if you've not played Demon Souls and like the Souls games you want to play it. Cannot wait...
This really isnt a showcase of what the PS5 can do. Demons Souls could have looked about this good on PS4. I mean look at The Last of Us Part 2.
@get2sammyb @Arugula Agree its subjective,but seemed a tad "Diablo 3 Rainbows" silliness. Always seems to find some playstation thing to neg about. He was quite happy to lead the charge on TLOU 2, Death Stranding & GOT all being ps5 footage with zero to back it up too. For an objective "all formats" site they just lack a bit of consistency-but just my two cents worth!
Not saying Sony's perfect. Obviously we still are to hear if Sony will dust off crossbuy to compete with Smart Delivery yet.
But Bluepoint haven't done a bad port yet,this won't be Mafia 2 at least!
Even the upscaled screenshots look great.
Hey @get2sammyb, small request I may. Could you flip image 2 and 3 so we can compare side by side on mobile? Please and thank you. ☺️
@Robocod
To be fair, Martin is having to play to a crowd that isn't strictly playstation focused while keeping up playful banter...all while streaming at 1080p.
As its a remake I hope they speed up the combat a bit, the souls games edged quicker through the series and bloodbourne was all the better for its fast pace. I have not played Demon souls for many years but I remember it being very slow and deliberate
Impressive. I really like what I see.
Does this game not have a gear system or was it that the game didn't have the character model change with new gear?
I love Demon's Souls, will definitely be getting this.
@GamingFan4Lyf Of course it does. It has the character building, the fog walls, the messages on the floor, the stats, the bosses, etc.
@Dahn_ Okay, cool - it's just that all the screenshots show the same character model.
@Cyrus29 I hope not.
Hi there gamers. I simply cannot wait to put my hands on this. I can only imagine what some of the levels are gonna be like. And if they were somehow able to make the Giants Archstone playable....... OH MAN! Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming to everyone out there
@RaZieLDaNtE I hope they make that section playable, I hoped in the past they would of released DLC for that, but nothing. =/
@banacheck - World Tendency was an interesting mechanic that was implemented horribly. Pushing server median into your world forced you to play offline if you want any control of your own tendency, it's bad design.
