Demon’s Souls – Gameplay Trailer #2 | PS5

I have deliberately held off replaying Demons because of this remake, I will savour every minute of this. So happy Bluepoint have knocked it out the goddamn park.

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.

They aren't when you look at the reality of the situation, but this overexuberence is pretty common with all PS5-only exclusive game releases.

Because god forbid anyone be exuberant about a new game that actually looks new. I've seen nothing on my lovely big LG CX that looks as good as this. What the hell else is there that looks this good for such a sustained period of time that we know for definite is gameplay running on the machine it purports to be on, that is coming out in a mere few days?

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.

Careful with that envy or you'll turn green.

Seriously though, each video i see the main character is either jogging or running in an empty environment, fighting what looks like a boss? or fighting a single enemy at a time. Visually the game looks great, but is that the pace of the game?

You've never played a Souls game, I trust? Also, he fights several mobs at once in the video, not just one enemy.

As you should.

I am glad people pick you up on your anti Sony bias. You are super transparant when it comes to anything Sony. Your arguments that Sony fans are what cause you to act that way holds no water because they are rabid fanboys on Xbox and PC also. I guess some Sony fanboy cut you deep one time and you hold a grudge?

IMO you should hold yourself in a higher regard since you class yourself as an "Industry Professional". Everytime you comment your tag gives me hope you will be objective but you cannot help but be petty and I am mostly dissapointed. Other Sony and Xbox fanboys I expect it but your tag should lift you above all this bullshit console wars.

He's a PC gamer and he's also correct.

Post screenshots of a current gen game on PC that has that level of character model detail, that kind of environmental complexity / detail and that sort of high quality alpha effects at 1440p/60fps.

Bonus points if you can get it to look and run like your screenshots on a $400 PC.
 
image quality is through the roof, looks amazing.

Artistic resdesign of most of the monsters is absolute garbage. These look lifted straight out of some generic (albeit beautiful) MMO. They don't have the almost alien aesthetic like the old designs did.

Be serious, I am a PC gamer first and formost and have pre orders for both consoles. I am only a gamer fanboy, stop projecting. My comment is about an industry pro acting like a fanboy, I just wish he was more objective.

It just seems everytime someone DARES to suggest certain game from Sony looks next gen to them, he takes it wayyyy too personal and needs to make crusade here with his "it was done 100 years ago on pc" ;dd

I like his technical input and respect knowledge, but can't help but laugh sometimes about his attitude in certain threads haha.
 
It looks absolutely insane. Next gen is here.

I believe in diminishing returns, but this game definitely looks a gen beyond anything.

There are several games. This game offers nothing new to the graphics space. It's a typical static lighting GI, ambient occlusion, textures, etc.. some dynamic shadows in place. The upgrade is really good. 60FPS is nice but we have 60FPS games all over the place. Still have they not shown any special trailer showing off RT like in Spiderman. If you guys see it has the 'true' next-gen game then that's cool. Just accept others don't see it that way.
 
Man, wish they'd add some just simple textures on bodies when you slice them. Really just anything. Blood spatters on ground, walls etc, your weapon.



I enjoy the combat in Souls games but it looks like the same standard hit reactions as we always get. For everything the game gets right in the visual department, why was this one neglected? Taking out a big chunk of flesh with a slice would be so satisfying, or chopping off a limb etc.

I watched the full video I saw the scene when there were 3 enemies around the player. There really doesn't seem to be any AI outside of the boss battles and that is mostly pattern based AI.

The game looks pretty but I saw more epic and varied boss battles with the most recent God of War and Gears of War. The overall gameplay seems really basic to me. Pretty visuals though, but I didn't see anything that couldn't be done on PS4 (perhaps some lower res textures). I really think people are overhyping this game.

I was thinking the same, why not cut off legs from the Spider. The pattern based battle just seemed really basic to me.

I was thinking similar things. the visuals are good, but the levels seem lifeless. There is zero AI in any enemy you meet prior to a Boss. You just run up block once, and attack a few times to kill it. I'd be shocked to see reviewers say this is next gen. it's pretty but i feel like it could be done on playstation 4.

I guess souls games are not for me.

This is not a price to price comparison.

Pretty much all the games that I praise look better than this game. The character model detail during gameplay you can't even see in these videos. Environmental complexity? Horizon ZD alone has more complexity and that's 3yrs old. It's the basic PS3 game from old. It's not anything special.. R&C has better environment complexity.

SQUEEEEE!!!!

I can't wait to play this. Such an improvement visually and audibly. I wish they would stop showing all the bosses in the trailer. There *are* people who haven't played this yet. I beat it when it first came out but it was a game I wasn't ready for at first. My friend recommend it to me since I like fantasy and I like challenging games. I rage quit after about a week. He said, take a break and go back. I did, and that is what it took. patience is the key and learning from my mistakes. Ever since then, I have been hooked on the Souls Games.

With this level of detail? Not on current gen consoles.

If this ends up coming for ps4 it will most probably run at 30fps. So the jump is not on graphics but on performance.

And my guess is that this will be the case for some time. After a year or two devs will probably start to improve on graphics while downing the frames per second down to 30. Just as with this current gen.

They did not touch the rhythm or combat, so hit reactions are what they were in the original. They have changed the riposte though so you may get some cool finishers

Was the original so weightless? In Dark Souls the roll is much slower and the hits on the enemies and on your shield have more "hmpf".

Another user pointed out that maybe they used an OP character for the demo, which might explain why he's able to attack a lot without running out stamina, but I dunno man.

Correct! Predictable AI is what makes these games beatable. You get a little better at executing the "run" each time, until you hit the next checkpoint.

A Souls game with smart enemies would be terrifying...though possibly interesting.

Yeah it will be dependent on level and your item weight

Rolls are really slow if you're heavily armoured and a low level

Post screenshots to back up your ridiculously trollish comments.

EVERY. SINGLE. PS5. THREAD.

You really are obsessed with downplaying Sony first party games visually.

I agree with him and neogaf is not your safe space where you can be protected against differing opinions.
Demons Souls remake looks great, yes. Does it look significantly better than AC Unity or TLOU2 or GoW or KCD? Nah dawg
 
this shit is crazy since it's just performance mode. can't wait to see visual mode. will it have ray tracing or what?! iDK BUT IT WILL LOOK AWESOME
