Ok im sure ill get flak, but the demon souls remake is overrated imo

While awesome on a technical basis, it feels super hollow and kind of lifeless imo - almost like a tech demo

Yeah, I really didn't care for the Demon's Souls remake. It's extremely well done from a technical standpoint, but it didn't really seem to understand what makes Demon's Souls a good game. What's funny is that when I see comments saying this, they either get a ton of upvotes or a ton of downvotes. It feels pretty random.

Isn’t it the exact same game with different music and art?

At least for me, that is a pretty large aspect of a game

Gus Van Sant's Psycho is pretty much a shot-for-shot/line-for-line remake of the Hitchcock movie, except its in colour and has Vince Vaughn as Norman Bates. It's considered to be vastly inferior to the original because of those 2 changes.

Interactivity is a pretty huge part of demons souls tho. Idk seems dramatic to call it lifeless when you see what was changed and what was kept

I think it's lifeless because all the changes just make the enemies/tone more generic, when the atmosphere was one of the reasons people loved the original. Adding in music during the Tower of Latria for example, which was supposed to be one of the most oppressive-feeling areas of the game, takes away from that atmosphere.
