Thanks to bloodborne, I am now seriously considering getting a PS5 earlier than I was planning purely for Demons Souls. Hmm. This was most unexpected!

You can also get a PS3 purely for Demon's Souls. Either way you're getting a quality console with great games.

I do have a PS3 with Demons Souls on it thanks to PSPlus, but the DS3 is a controller I cannot get along with. So the Dualsense 5 and the PS5 is where I will have to soul my demons :twisted:

The only complaint i got about that trailer is when they fight the spider boss theres no good visual feedback that the attacks are connecting like there are vs some of the other monsters. Otherwise hype

Sounds like they are using the haptic feedback heavily also to improve feedback during combat, so that should help a lot of that's an issue.

I swear the lighting looks even better in this footage.

I believe Emmanuelle is shit, though Emmanuelle 2, Emmanuelle '77 and Goodbye, Emmanuelle may be very good movies.

some straight up trolling going on this video for people who havent played the game before thinking they can drop straight down that shaft lmao

also, seems like they got rid of the flavour text when you kill the boss? cant remember if the bosses had one or not now but pretty sure they did. i know they had it when you got your souls back. sucks if they got rid of it.

also :eyepop: at that polygon first image. i cant even remember that enemy now.

"There’s a lot of new content that we’ve added to the game" :pray:


"One change that will affect players’ encumbrance — aka how much stuff their character can carry — is how much healing grass they can hold. In the original Demon’s Souls, players could carry hundreds of healing grasses with them and suffer no real penalty. In the remake, players will have a more limited supply, and more powerful grasses (like Full Moon Grass) will weigh more than less effective grasses." oh poo poo :negative: the true demon's souls starts here

also filters confirmed, for those who dont like the blue tones.

I got you.
I dunno about Demon's Souls (yet) but I'm thinking that once I get PS5'd I might finally give Sekiro another shot. I bounced off it hard because, like, it's not even like things didn't seem to be going according to what everyone tells me is the plan (walk in, die repeatedly, eventually don't die) because that's exactly how it was going, it was just, everyone swears up and down to me that this is fun, and I just found it hateful, and eventually I figured The Children Are Wrong on this one and left it. But hey, the game's still on my account, and presumably will have a nice framerate buff on PS5, so maybe it'll click this time? Worst case I'll just ragequit again and play DMC5 instead.

World tendency is a cool idea that was implemented badly. You basically had to play offline to actually purposely do things with it. Encumbrance was done way better in every other Souls game where it was equipment based and not inventory based. There is a reason they never went back to how it was in Demon’s Souls.

I’m just upset it looks like they don’t appear to be fixing any of the legit problems people had with the original version in this remake.

I hope the player character in FFXVI is a lot more interesting than his generic design and the trailer has shown. I still see that Square is deathly afraid of making women the player character. 13 must have been a harrowing experience that almost destroyed Square forever or something.

Would also be nice that the only prominent woman character wasn't just T&A with the most obnoxious southern accent.

Would be kind of funny if that was diagetically true and was brought up in the film at some point but the more accurate and creepier way to phrase this is that the makers of this movie created a digital actress for use in pornography.

VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, X-2, XII, XIII, XIII-2, and XIII-3 all had female main characters, so what even is this opinion.

theres a been a weird blinders on with this and ff games on the larger internet, ive noticed since 15, as if 15 is the only one that counts for some reason. probably because of how long it took 15 to come out and the announcement of 16.

I'm talking player character. As in the one you fully control for all the game. The last one was Lightning Returns then 15 came out and the only prominent woman character was a walking cliche.

Disappointed that Bluepoint is not restoring the broken archstone or fixing world tendency. The game sets up new players to screw the selves over with WT. It goes down when you die in human form. So new players will beat a boss, get their body back, and die soon after, lowering it. Once you’ve beaten all the bosses in world there was no way to raise it without going into NG+ or going online for a holiday server event.

Glad they are adding new items and making it so you won’t be fighting false king with dozens of full-heal grasses.

Yeah at this point my plan is to:

1) Try and get one online on the 12th
2) Be disappointed because I didn't
3) Load up the various websites 1-2x each day to see if any are in stock
4) Be disappointed
5) Try to get one on Black Friday
6) Be disappointed
7) Stay disappointed

On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

I understand them not doing the Land of the Giants, that area doesn't exist in much of a capacity beyond them having general map design down and a few monsters made up so they would pretty much be making an entirely new area for this.

Maybe that can be Sony's next paycheck to throw at From? Hey guys here's some money show Bluepoint how to finish this.
