Still a terrific game, it holds up remarkably well. Arguably one of the greatest (remaining!) PS3 exclusives, and an absolute steal at four quid.

Agreed. I played this back in 2011 and thought it was total garbage, ended up rage quitting pretty quickly. Now having played and loved Dark Souls 2, 3 and Bloodborne, I'd love to go back, git gud and try again without having to crack open the PS3. I think a remaster, along with dark souls 1, would sell really frickin' well.

Needs a ps4 release. It's a Sony game so can't see why they don't release it as digital, it will sell sheet loads.

Still the best/purest Souls game imo.

This is still a great game but I would disagree. The best/most pure souls game is still Dark Souls. While I feel that the Nexus does nail the 'hub' better than Majula, The Hunters Dream and DS3's Firelink Shrine, the way that the original Dark Souls is all interconnected and you gradually learn the entire world structure before you get access to fast travel is just godlike amongst games, the bosses and combat are also vastly improved upon from Demon's Souls.
This is still a great game though and props to the Tower Knight, King Allant 1, Old King Doran and the first red eyed knight for kicking my butt more than a few times while I was learning the ropes... a must play for anyone that hasn't tried it! Heat!

played this after completing the original dark souls. Not as good but still a great game in its own right

I feel that I should almost buy this out of principle!
Don't have a PS3, but big fan of Bloodborne and Dark Souls 2,3.
Love a remaster please SONY

Think this one deserves a remake exclusive to PS4 due to Sony involvement with the original and not just a remaster. Some of physics in this are very janky! I would be very happy with a remaster of DS1 Prepare to Die edition though as I'm yet to fight Artorias and have been holding out on getting the PS3 version hoping a remaster may come...The idea of having to go through Blighttown again at 10-15fps on the PS3 gives me nightmares. 1080p @ 60fps with some improved textures like SoTFS though is the stuff of dreams!

Literally the most brutal thing I've ever played. I eventually tapped out somewhere around the giant, screen-sized blind guy, but I hate giving up on stuff. As much as I loved it, I felt that the brutality outweighed the enjoyment, and with sooooo much other stuff to play, I gave up. I will go back to it though.
