You do realize a game is not just about graphics, right ?

Cause Demon's Souls and Crash/Spyro/Zelda LA/Tony Hawk have been build up fro scratch, new teams had to recreate the physics, assets, gameplay and other stuff of old games.

Doing a paint job is a remaster, which isn't the case here

That games are not just about graphics is my point. Games are fundamentally about gameplay, and the gameplay in Demon's Souls PS5 is the same as it was when it first came out in 2009, all that's changed is the graphics, which are just a superficial facade.

I already explained why Demon's Souls remake was not just about graphics, but let's agree to disagree. It's an $70 PS5 exclusive, and shouldn't be used as an example regarding backward-compatibility.
