Demon’s Souls – Gameplay Trailer #2 | PS5

This looks absolutely amazing, but I just played through DeS for the first time last summer (4K, 60 FPS, ultrawide on RPCS3). Seems to be a shot-for-shot remake, so I'll probably wait a bit to play through it.
 
so damn HARD rn, can't wait, idk wtf to do with my self next 2 weeks, this is just plucking at my brain constantly, i need this NOW

Fractured Mode might be for you. Gavin Moore says it's almost like a fresh new experience.

Yeah to be fair, the graphics and presentation are so damn good that it will be somewhat like a new experience playing through it just to see the gorgeous visuals throughout.

I'm one of the people who thought DeS actually had a somewhat bland atmosphere outside of Tower of Latria, which is possibly the MOST atmospheric location in a FromSoft game outside of Central/Old Yharnam.

Said a new XSX game looked like it was made on Dreams 😬

Oh my goodness. It must have been quite the comment if he got banned for what sounds like an innocent jab :messenger_grinning_sweat:

oh no why was Bo banned? :(

Read the above quote.

Pretty silly if you ask me, but I don't have the context nor the comments he made - so for all I know, it was very much passed the borderline of trolling or inciting console warring (?)
 
I'm not gonna watch this on a shitty tablet at work

the only thing that is missing for me is textures for sword damage, it would be nice to have some visible damage on enemies, like cuts and blood splatter on armor.

Yeah, i want this shit in every nextgen games with combat involved, now they have enough memory and cpu to make this stuff possible.

Yep first launch game on PS I'm this excited for since original Tekken when I was a wee boy.

Looking forward to playing it on my 4K Samsung with the lights off at night when the family is asleep :messenger_ogre:
 
I am a Sonyer, I will buy PS5 day 1 (if I find one), and for sure with Demon's Soul but...
said that, there is nothing in this gameplay I could call next gen.

Maybe it's because I also have a PC, so apart from the crispy resolution and 60fps (something I'm used in PC), neither assets or lighting seems a clear improve from actual generation.

I mean, Red Dead Redemption 2 in PC looks better than this. In fact, I'm sure The Last of Us 2 or God of War at 4k60fps will be more impressive than Demon's Souls. Even I can go further, and remember I am a Sonyer so don't hate me, Gears of War in Series X looks better to me than Demon's Soul.
 
It does not look all that impressive... Kinda cross genish

Don't get me wrong, it is pretty...just not THAT pretty

It looks good, has good artwork etc. but what really matters is the promise of a slow dungeon crawling game which ten years ago was already one of the best games of its era.

As a fan of the original, this is one game where the hype is IMO justified (especially considering Bluepoint's reputation). I'm also curious to see how they use the dual sense controller to their advantage with this remake because the possibilities for added immersiveness are pretty exciting.
 
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.
Animations never really convinced me since the first trailer, pretty weightless yeah.

But i still have to see this new trailer tho.

It's only for 3 days. That Gaf Gold is paying off dividends.
 
What does that mode entail?

If I remember right is a tricky way of mess up your photographic memory. Works quite well with Diddy Kong Racing and CTR, at least if is really a 'mirror mode'.

I guess Resident Evil did this, not the mirror mode, but an 'advance mode' that rearrange the itens inside the mansion.
 
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.
Gears 5 doesn't even look better than current gen full fledged open world games, let alone something like demons remake.

It is sure far from looking bad... But as "this is possible only on PS5" as Sony promoting it... I don't know... Does not look that far off AAA PS4 games.
Need to see that 30 fps mode though
 
Ps3 mode is only a graphic filter, the art design for enemies is the same i think, i doubt that they made 2 different sets of models for every enemy.

Yeah, got that cleared up later on after reading an article vs and innocuous tweet. Either way, I am stoked!

Sony is predictably trying to sell their console. Their marketing is whatever they want it to be.

Look on the funny side though, i.e. how many die hard fanboys circle-jerking over Demon Souls because it's a launch day exclusive for their console of choice will in fact rage quit when they're murder raped by the bosses in this "game" (i.e. a game which doesn't hold the player's hand, at all)? I'll be curious to see completion rates. Back when the ps4 was released, I remember all the whining, moaning & complaining about Killzone Shadow Fall because it was apparently too hard for some early adopters . L.O.L. etc.
 
Its been so long since I've played Demons Souls that I have that cool nostalgia of only slightly remembering the layouts and stages but occasionally get a ping of the familiar. "Oh yeah I remember this place"
