Announcing the Demon's Souls "Compare-through". (working title)

Added 2021-01-17 02:05:48 +0000 UTC

So as I've mentioned my next video is going to be another Demon's Souls episode. I've begun scripting it (only 3 pages in so far) and I'm really excited for it. I'm going to do something of a "compare-through", and I'm still undecided if this will just be more "Demon's Souls Dissected" or its own spin-off series.

The basic idea is to explore the environment of the games and to see how things were changed between the original and the remake. It'll be an excuse to demonstrate a lot of out of bounds stuff in the original Demon's Souls as well (there's not enough of this out there). Each area will be getting its own episode, so what I'm drafting now is an episode about the tutorial, of course.

I really like making the world layout videos (there will be one for Dark Souls 2 eventually!), but with a completely disconnected world it doesn't make sense as something that can happen for Demon's Souls. Doing a hybrid "out of bounds exploration" / "here's what changed in the remake" is the closest equivalent that I think will be appropriate for Demon's Souls, and I also think I have something to bring to the table that goes further than some of the splitscreen comparisons we've already seen.

Here's one of the earliest comparisons that I will be talking about in the video, the exterior of the starting tunnel:
