Modder and dataminer of the Souls series shared fresh rumours about Demon’s Souls remake.

While Sony’s official marketing is silent, youtuber and indie developer lance McDonald, widely known in Soul circles and famous for his videos with cut-out content from games From Software, recently actively published notes on his Twitter related to the remake of Demon’s Souls. Last night, he...

Maybe i'm misremembering but...those rolls recoveries are looking hella fast for wearing that armor and don't remember being able to tank that boss with that shield....

That's a promo build character with huge stats. It doesn't reflect how we'll all be when we get there.
 
Graphically looks amazinag, but the gameplay left me thinking... where is the weight? The dude is in heavy armor and rolls like a thief wearing rags.

And the same for attacking and blocking, seems to need some more feedback.

Hope it doesn´t turn out to be a casualized Souls, because otherwise it looks reaaaally good.

Aye. I suspect it's a trade off to mesh with the original game mechanics. Unless they've transferred that to the haptic feedback.
 
I'll have it (along with Sackboy) on the 12th!!
And I'll stare at the disc and box for at least a week waiting for the PS5 to arrive... :messenger_loudly_crying::messenger_loudly_crying::messenger_loudly_crying::messenger_loudly_crying::messenger_loudly_crying::messenger_loudly_crying::messenger_loudly_crying::messenger_loudly_crying::messenger_loudly_crying::messenger_loudly_crying::messenger_loudly_crying::messenger_loudly_crying:

Looks so sharp - even on my 1080p monitor playing at 2K. That spider boss instantly turning into smoke looked off though - should have an epic drop like SOTC and THEN maybe turn to dust.

Yeah, it will probably feel better when playing but based on this video feedback and weight haven't improved since the reveal.

It's common sense. The developers set the parameters, not you or your desires. Dynamic 4k60 obviously drops below 4k otherwise it wouldn't be dynamic. Who is to say some areas can't go as low as 1440p?

DF were basing their assumption from a single screenshot which they said was 1440p but the others were all native 4k.
 
Has anyone mentioned anything about the haptic feedback in this game yet? I think it would really enhance the experience. The new controller features look to be pretty great. The game looks fantastic too. I plan to get a series X first but I will also be getting a PS5 DE. I'm really interested in checking out the new controller.
 
Looks good, but not really any better than games I have been playing for years. Plus I am kinda tired with soulslikes.
 
Game looks outstanding, just wish I cared for Souls games.

That being said, I'd almost wanna get it just to give it a try again, but I know how that will go, lol.

Bear in mind that they're using a promo build for the gameplay with a character with maxed out stats. That'll heavily affect how the player character responds to attacks.
 
Graphics look amazing, but not even remotely interested in playing it. I don't have the time or patience to play games like these.

Good point, maybe (probably, or so I hope) a normal character will have a harder time rolling in full armor.

So the very 'possibilty' of the resolution dipping to 1440P in specific scenes (we do not know the range of DRS by the way) makes Demon's Souls 4K DRS=1440P?..

Edit: I am not talking in context of DF.

Exactly. It's one hell of a launch title and it looks fucking incredible and yet it still is not for everyone. At all.

The original has weight... to reach some parts rolling you had to remove the armor.

He get pretty slow even rolling with heavy armor and weapons.

In the older trailers the devs said they had a hack character which had infinite endurance and wotnot. Probably the same thing.

ummm I dunno, the game looks good, but every video i see the player is only fighting one enemy at a time, and the environments seem fairly static. Boss battles seem nice, but I don't think it looks better then gears 5 in 4K. might just be me, but people tend to over hype exclusives sometimes.
 
I definitely don't remember that spider going down that quickly. Where is the HUD?
Lizards are slow and not a challenge to get it seems.
There is no way you can survive that fall in the pit in the original. WTF?

No 6th Archstone though, that really sucks tbh, especially only just confirming that now 2 weeks from launch

Still, looking fantastic and cannot wait to play it eventually

It's a remake. If you read any of the interviews, the ai, enemy combat patterns, and everything else are exactly as they were in the original. I looked up gears 5 in 4k just to see what it is you're talking about and it was immediately noticeable that the texture quality was far less than in Demon's Souls. I think you'll be hard pressed to find anyone who agrees with you unless they're a fanboy.
 
Game looks ridiculous. I look forward to the 30fps fidelity mode. That's right, haters. I'll be playing this in fidelity mode, because I want all the visual splendor.

On another note, how will the reaper scythe, and the deluxe edition weapons alter the playing experience? Are those more powerful weapons and armor? If so, I might have to consider that option, as I'm too old to be getting frustrated by games. If there are more powerful items to be found early in the game, then I'll just get the regular game.
 
The kills at 02:43 and 05:06 are glorious.

She sheer savagery of the first one, sweeping the feet from under the demon and then killing him with one brutal, BRUTAL blow of the mace when it was one the ground is well and truly how you 'get shit done'.

And the second was so cold, impaled on a steel sword, booted away and the church pew smashed to pieces in the process :messenger_grinning:
