Demon's Souls?  That is legacy content.  People definitely don't want the PS5 for new exclusive games, because it doesn't have any.

I agreed with you until this very point. And then you completly lost it.

A remake is a new game, deal with it.

No, it's not. Demon's Souls is a game from 2009 with updated graphics.

It's game design, its fundamental DNA is the same as it was over a decade ago. Chucking raytracing on it doesn't make it a new game, just like repainting an old house doesn't make it a new house.
