Sir Daniel Fortesque will return three generations after his first appearance in the MediEvil game .

On the PlayStation Blog, there is a post that has comparison images between the PlayStation original and the PlayStation 4 remake. They can be checked below. But back to the post, Sony wrote three things that newcomers and veterans should know. We won’t quote the first half (just the leads: its game design resembles the Souls games, we play a resurrected legendary knight, but we turn out to be something different than the legend says), but we will with the second half:

„1. Much of the original game remains intact. The rebuild leaves the undead heart of the 1998 original—with its melee-heavy combat, secret-packed levels, and macabre humour—intact. Instead, the focus for Other Ocean, the studio charged with resurrecting the third-person action-adventure for modern-day audiences, has been mostly cosmetic. This PlayStation 4 remake overhauls the horror-themed visual style but retains its Tim Burton-esque personality. It rightly refuses to tinker with the original level design, yet isn’t afraid to add the occasional, but welcome, flourish. The world map has a new look, for example, while the Hall of Heroes, a hub world in which Sir Dan is bequeathed weapon upgrades from Gallowmere’s other legendary warriors, has been furnished with additional lore.

2. The voice work is a mix of returning heroes, classic takes, and new voices. It’s tough to chinwag when you’ve no jaw. But Jason Wilson (who also penned MediEvil’s story) admirably managed to capture the ragged rasps of a mouthless Sir Dan Forteseque, making it fun rather than horrible. So there is no-one better to capture Dan’s personality for this PlayStation 4 remake, with Wilson re-recording all his dialogue. Elsewhere, the game retains the original high-res audio of its supporting cast. For example, the numerous stone gargoyles creakingly intone advice to the curious just as they did back in 1998. But there are also fresh additions to the voice cast, such as the game’s new narrator, portrayed by voice actress Lani Minella (Soulcalibur VI, God of War, XCOM 2).
3. The original soundtrack has been lovingly re-recorded. Rightly, the classic score hasn’t been tampered with. Instead, it’s been enriched. The PlayStation 4 remake replaces the orchestral synth sound of the original with the real thing, with the Danny Elfman-inspired score re-recorded by the Prague Symphony Orchestra. Overseeing its production? Composer duo Bob&Barn, who wrote and produced the original soundtrack,” the PS Blog writes. All we say is: how on Earth is MediEvil related to the Souls games again? Get out of here…

MediEvil is out on October 25, as a PlayStation 4-exclusive.
