PlayStation reckons MediEvil remake "feels like Dark Souls"

PlayStation has shown off a handful of new screenshots from the latest PS Original game getting the remaster treatment, MediEvil.

Promising “much of the original game remains intact”, the PS Blog takes us through a hands-on tour before sharing a number of caps that directly compare the PS1 graphics with that of the remake.

MediEvil is the tale of Sir Dan Fortesque, a centuries-dead knight who finds himself resurrected to once again save his kingdom, Gallowmere. Trouble is, the history books had it wrong, and whilst he’s remembered as a legendary knight who’d defeated Lord Zarok a century ago, the truth is, he’s… well, he’s a bit crap, actually.

I remember firsthand that MediEvil was by no means easy, and it seems that hasn’t changed, either. According to the PS Blog, “one of the biggest surprises is how MediEvil feels like Dark Souls… despite it releasing over a decade before From Software’s challenging fantasy epic”.
