So excited they released a demo on the PlayStation store! The game plays great and I can’t wait to get my hands on the full product! Who’s played it as well?

I haven't played it yet, but the videos I've seen look really good. The atmosphere is surprisingly intact from what I've seen, the music for sure helps that. The narrator / book reader is overall good, but her American accent seems to poke through at times. Other than that it seems like it'll be a solid release, though I wish more marketing had been present on this run-up.
Also, the gargoyles have the exact same voice actor back! This is big!

I just played the demo and it was great. Gameplay is fun. I'm so happy that we are getting a new MediEvil game. One thing I don't like is that you can't change the text language to english from the game menu. I live in Finland so the texts are in finnish because of my console language settings. I hope they let us change it in the final game.

Ehe, I have found Mr Apple too!
And I can confirm, even in the italian dub the Gargoyles got the same voice actor, even if his lines feel... different.

You can also find Mr Apple in Dans' Crypt, can you spot him too?  No spoilers for those who want to find him themselves though.

Just noticed this while listening to the new soundtrack ((someone already posted some rips of it on YouTube)) that some of the songs are more on par with Resurrection. Especially the Map menu music. I feel just a little disappointed because I love the original soundtrack.

It looks like the Digital Deluxe version includes the original soundtrack. I hope it will become available separately because I'm buying the physical version.

I feel just a little disappointed because I love the original soundtrack. Yeah I am really disappointed with the music too, it is weaker and I don't like the remixing of The Graveyard. It doesn't have nearly the spine-tingling power the original had.

I agree it really does loose some of its power. Also some of the instruments are missing if you listen closely to the newer tracks compared to the old. Maybe if we are lucky we can switch to the classic music on the fly in the game menu.

If you listen to the PS Access video where they play Cemetery Hill and Hilltop Mausoleum, you can (just about) hear that Bob & Barn have stuck to their Resurrection orchestrations for the Boss Theme and Hilltop Mausoleum, the former of which I'm especially disappointed about because the creepy original boss theme is so much better. I guess they didn't want to have to go back and reorchestrate the original versions for the songs they already covered?
At least Return To The Graveyard, Scarecrow Fields, The Haunted Ruins and Cemetery Hill should be fine, as their Resurrection orchestrations were pretty much 1/1 covers. Time Device and Pumpkin Gorge won't though :/
I also blame the dynamic music choice which at least IMO was completely unnecessary and ruins the flow of the tracks, I'm really hoping for an option switch that just streams the complete songs front to back like the original games but that's almost certainly not going to happen.

I actually really like the new compositions of the original tracks. The reuse of Resurrection versions is kind of lazy and a shame though IMO.

No reason to re-use Resurrection's music other than not wanting to spend the extra $$$. Hopefully that cheap attitude doesn't bleed into the rest of the game.

I should have specified that the actual recordings of these songs seem to be new from my ears (though it's hard to tell as they are arranged the same), it's just that Bob & Barn have stuck with redoing those arrangements rather than arranging the actual original OST versions. I assume the only songs that will get actual brand new arrangements are the ones missing from Resurrection (Sleeping Village, Asylum Grounds, Ant Caves, Ghost Ship, Pools of the Ancient Dead, Original Zaroks Lair maybe?).

I wish the helmet that can be found looked like the one Sir Dan has in the intro. He had the helmet on in the original japanese version so it would be great to have it:
