New DVD releaseanime, demon, movie, mugen, review, slayer, train

“No matter how many precious lives the demons take…A strong will can never be taken.”  It’s become a common tradition for the most popular anime series to get theatrical adaptations. It’s not surprising then that Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is the latest to make this leap considering the tremendous success of the anime and manga. These cinematic endeavors can sometimes be a mixed bag due to a tendency to function as recap compilations or entertaining sagas that ultimately become unnecessary filler in the context of the anime.  Demon Slayer’s movie, Mugen Train, chooses the best route possible here with…

Demon Slayer Review: Netflix Anime Reinvents Classic Action Tropes

New DVD releaseanime, classic, demon, netflix, reinvents, review, slayer

This Demon Slayer review contains no spoilers. There are a lot of anime about the slaying of demons. Almost too many, in fact. If someone was supposed to make an anime, but then forgot and had to quickly rush something together at the last minute, they’d make it about demon slaying. At this point it’s a little exhausting whenever a new demon-slaying anime gets announced, but it’s for this very reason that the series that work are especially effective.  Koyoharu Gotouge’s Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba doesn’t just touch on familiar storylines and ideas, even its title is bland and…

Demon’s Souls Review

New DVD releasedemon, review, souls

You don’t walk away from a game like Demon’s Souls without a few good stories to share. When I think back on my time with the PS5 remake, two moments that occurred fairly early on in the game spring to mind.  The first happened when I unlocked the door to one of the game’s first bosses. Excited by my progress, I ran down a stairwell to a nearby shortcut, took a wrong turn, and fell to my death. I could have easily walked into the boss room from the respawn point, but I was determined to retrieve my lost souls.…

Demon’s Souls Help Videos Could Be the Great “Easy Mode” Compromise

New DVD releasecompromise, could, demon, great, souls, videos

In an interview with The Washington Post, Gavin Moore, creative director of the Demon’s Souls PS5 remake, revealed that the game features over 180 help videos that can be easily accessed via the PlayStation 5’s impressive UI system. That’s a number that stands a testament to the potential of the PS5’s Game Help system, even as we wait to see whether or not more developers will ultimately choose to utilize that system over the long term. It’s also a number that could very well offer a somewhat unlikely solution to the debate over implementing an “Easy Mode” into Soulslike games.…

New DVD releasealready, demon, disappointing, remake, souls

Everything we’ve seen of the Demon’s Souls remake so far suggests it could be the best PS5 launch game, and one of the best games of 2020, but it’s what we haven’t seen of the remake that is worrying some long-time fans. A modder named Lance McDonald has been combing through leaked files related to the upcoming Demon’s Soul remake and recently revealed that it appears the upcoming remake will not restore Demon’s Souls infamous Sixth Archstone or add any new content related to it. In fact, it sounds like the Demon’s Souls remake’s file structure is fairly similar to…

Is Demon’s Souls Coming to Xbox and PC?

New DVD releasecoming, demon, souls

The recent PlayStation 5 showcase generated a surprisingly justified number of questions regarding whether or not the Demon’s Souls remake is coming to Xbox, PC, and potentially other platforms. Those who watched the digital event may have noticed that the original version of the Demon’s Souls gameplay trailer ended with a screen that noted the remake would “not be available on other consoles for a limited time” and would seemingly be “also available on PC.” However, Sony soon informed Kotaku and other websites that the reference to Demon’s Souls coming to other platforms was the result of “human error.” When…

We had a feeling that the Demon’s Souls remake would end up being one of the PS5’s best-looking early games, but the game’s latest trailer showcases just how gorgeous the project is and how much of the original experience has been rebuilt in order to take advantage of next-gen technology. “It was essential to us that we recreated Demon’s Souls in such a way that longtime fans are transported back to the Boletaria they love,” says Gavin Moore, Creative Director, SIE Worldwide Studios External Development, via the PlayStation blog. “It’s the Boletaria that has been growing and maturing in their imaginations for…
