Having unleashed the demo across all platforms last week, NEOWIZ has now announced that Lies of P’s demo surpassed a million downloads in only three days post-launch. The demo gives players access to the game’s first two chapters months ahead of its September 19 release date.

At the Summer Game Fest showcase on June 8, NEOWIZ unveiled a public demo for its upcoming Victorian Soulslike Lies of P, available across PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. That demo has enjoyed significant success despite being released so close to the celebrated Final Fantasy 16 demo, and was downloaded over a million times in total just three days after being launched.

Lies of P Demo Surpasses a Million Downloads in Three Days

The Lies of P demo had already been downloaded over a million times across all platforms only three days after being launched.

I haven't played it yet, but I'm glad it seems to be doing good numbers.

I really hope this (returning?) trend of sending out demos a few months/weeks before release keeps going for a long time.

 

[SeraphJan]

The game looks interesting so far.

PS: The guy on the cover is so hot (not gay, I'm woman)

 

[VEZ1R]

It was better than expected. High quality Bloodborne clone, i love it. Remnant 2, Lies of P, and Lords of the Fallen will come back to back in 3 months. What a time to be alive as a soulslike fan.

 

[Dynasty8]

Played for about 20 mins and turned it off. I am convinced and sold.

 

[Valt7786]

See Sony, this is how many people are dying for something Bloodborne, get to it.

 

[Kagero]

I was pleasantly surprised. It's like a Bloodborne lite. I like to call it........ Baby born. Wait that sounds wrong.

i've been saying this cunt was designed to appeal to women, glad to finally get a confirm

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

The DUNE Protagonist did it again.

 

[feynoob]

this plus any given male k-pop star is exactly the lies of P protagonist

I mean, that looks like a grill so you might be. That would be ok, too.

I don't know about the "not gay" part, because that 100% looks like a lesbian.

LOL I just showed him to my GF in the menu screen where he's shown from a close up just to see her reaction. Basically same what I expected lol

I don't see anything wrong with K-pop star

What? I assume you thought girls only like muscular men with chest hair which is far from true, just like how guys can prefer different archetype of female characters, the reverse is true. Like in the new RE Remakes, both Leon and Carlos are consider hot by many of us yet they represent different archetype

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Bloodborne thirst is so real that some will even settle for a woefully inadequate clone... I was interested when this game was first revealed, impressed by the successive trailers. The demo didn't nail the most important thing though: the actual movement/feel of combat, it feels completely "off" for lack of a better word. Still keeping my eye on it but the demo didn't convince me it's a day 1, quite the opposite really. I'm someone who champions new IP and smaller devs, would love for it to be genuinely great...

 

[Ansphn]

PlayStation needs to co-operative with them to make an original Souls-likes. Then pick them up if they make a Bloodborne calibur game. Don't mess up twice, Sony like when you let FROM walk out that door. This NEOWIZ has potential.

Not Even close lol

 

[adamsapple]

Good for them. The game has come a long ways from its original showing and that silly place holder voice acting clips that came out.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Good for them.

 

[LastBattle]

If the.demo is anything to go by I have a feeling this game is going to be a big hit.

 

[R6Rider]

Demo was fantastic. I'd be getting at launch if it wasn't so close to Starfield.

[Esppiral]

So what? I deleted mine after 10 minutes...

 

[UnravelKatharsis]

Do you only consider effeminate men hot?

 

[SeraphJan]

Do you only consider effeminate men hot?

Do you only consider Milf hot or Loli hot?

I also wouldn't call the guy on the cover effeminate, masculine could take different form, everyone is unique

 

[rofif]

Crazy big demo but I don’t like it.
Feels weightless and a shameless clone without original ideas.
But mean things aside, Amazing we get some good games finally

 

[GymWolf]

People are hungry for that bloodborne feeling.

Also why did the topic turned into a discussion about how fuckable the protagonist is?

 

[[Sigma]]

I downloaded it. Messed around with the HDR and was unsatisfied by it as it seemed to be broken. Moved on and ran around for a minute, killed a few enemies and then deleted the demo off my PS5.

 

[ClanOfNone]

That Bloodborne thirst is real. Demo was OK, reminded me of Steel Rising. Both games have a Victorian vibe with cool concepts. Both look good graphically, Lies of P in particular. Both kinda fail at the core aspect of the game, the combat.

 

[Esppiral]

So what? I never even downloaded it.

Because they are talking about the number of download as a means success or something...

 

[A2una1]

Yeah somehow the evasion move feels off...

 

[Lux R7]

good, i really liked the demo, can't wait for the full game

 

[cormack12]

I haven't played this, but read a lot of impressions. It sounds like one of those Souls likes that gets scrutinised and certain elements get picked apart that FROM are given passes on. I might download the demo, but a bit concerned it might be like the Alone in the Dark one.

 

[Pedro Motta]

It's a great game. Are we coming back to the age of game demos? They really do sell games.

 

[StueyDuck]

I always wait on dark souls clones to see how they fully turn out.

It shouldn't be an impossible formula to replicate But so far there's only been very few titles that have been fairly alright at it.

 

[NeverYouMind]

The demo alone shits on Dark Souls III from a great height and is actually technically competent unlike Bloodborne and most FromSoftware releases. Can't wait for September.

What the f......I played this on PC Max and it looks inferior to DSIII at 4K. DSIII is a phenomenal PC experience. The team behind this game is small and it is good but it does lack originality. This team will need a decade to even come close to creating a game that can shit on DSIII. What an asshat take.

 

[NeverYouMind]

Dark Souls III is shit on console without whatever mods you have on PC to fix even a portion of its garbage design and implementation. Beat that turd twice (DLC included) hoping to find something done right. Did not find a single redeeming quality.

Beat Lies of P demo on a Series S and the jump in quality is like night and day.

You beat a game twice just to find something done right?

The lead character in that shot is quite androgynous, are you sure you don't have some tendencies...

Seriously though, good for them, hopefully it helps them snag some sales.

 

[Fabieter]

I tried it. Its alright but the controls feel a bit off.

 

[NeverYouMind]

Yes, once with a slow, experimental exploration-oriented approach and another abusing core mechanics, weapons, items, summons, and Fextralife to plan optimal runs through areas. Dull experience both times unlike other entries in the series.

Man, I enjoy playing games. That sounds downright masochistic.

 

[Darak]

I had a negative first impression of the demo, but I insisted and ended up liking it a lot. It looks like a shameless copy on the surface, but it has enough identity of its own. The weapon crafting mechanic is fun and the combat works pretty well once you get used to it. It also looks good, performance is excellent, and the experience was essentially bug free for me.

That’s a guy?

 

[NeverYouMind]

Many games are better the second time through for me. The first time is struggling to understand the challenges and tools the game throws at me, while the second time is doing everything that was fun the first time and learning the intricacies of what breaks the game wide open.

 

[kvltus lvlzvs]

So from what I can gather, this is a non from soulsborne game that isn't shit? Cool! That's an absolute rarity. Haven't played the demo because I have not the free time to do so.
