Miyazaki Doesn't Like Revisiting the Old Memories He Had With the Development of Demon's Souls

Hidetaka Miyazaki believes that Bluepoint Games has done a great job in remaking Demon's Souls, even though the Japanese director did have doubts about whether new fans would even like the old systems of Demon's Souls or not. He said:

As you say, I was not directly involved in it, and I haven’t actually played the Demon’s remake. But this is because I just don’t enjoy playing the games that I’ve made in the past.

It brings up a lot of old emotions, a lot of old memories, and this gets a little bit overwhelming, and it doesn’t feel like playing any more. So I have not played the Demon’s remake, but I am very glad to see it get this fresh look, these brand-new current-gen graphics.

It was an old game, so to see it get remade in this way and have new players playing it was obviously something that made me very happy.

It was a rough game back in the day, with a relatively rough development, so I was anxious that new players would not enjoy it in that same way. That was a cause of concern for me when it was re-released but, you know, in the end, I’m just happy to see the reaction and happy to see people enjoying it.

One thing that was really fun was seeing [Bluepoint Games] come up with things we didn’t consider and to approach certain elements of the game its visuals and its mechanics in a way that we either couldn’t or didn’t back in the day. So to see them researching and applying these new thought processes and new techniques, this was something that was really exciting and interesting for me.
