You'll Be Amazed with Demon's Souls PS5, Says Sony

I’ll be amazed when I see a date.

@Arugula did u play the original game?

@Arugula ive never played it but im a huge fan of souls games, just was wondering what the difference between this and dark souls is.

@ellsworth004 it’s the precursor to dark souls and some of the series traditions were created in this entry. Shares similarities for sure. I played it a long time ago.

The trailer didn't show enough, but judging by the screenshots it looks really good.
I will probably skip base model PS5 so no rush for release date.

@ellsworth004 - The main difference is how the world works. You have a central hub, The Nexus, from here you interact with touchstones that take you to different areas of the world. You progress through the areas, beat bosses then return to Nexus and use another touchstone. Each area is it's own small world so to speak. It's not open world/semi open like the Dark Souls games.

Besides that there is a world tendency in effect, black and white. Each tendency alters world events and increases or lowers difficulty. While it's absolutely a Souls game it's also very different than the Dark series.

never finished much of ps3 version I have, but this I will f****ing finish:)

looks sick.. awesomely looking

Can't wait for demon's soul, horizon fw, spider-man miles morales, and of course ratchet and clank 😃

Definitely on my radar, this would be my first dip into the Souls series but it does look fantastic. Series' reputation of being difficult has put me off in the past, now see it as a challenge and a great way to get into these games!

The way this, Ratchet & Clank, Spiderman Miles Morales and GT7 are being spoken about leads me to believe that they're all launch games. Or at the very least close to launch. If that is the case we'll be looking at an exceedingly strong launch line up for PS5, seemingly with the heavy hitting Horizon 2 appearing shortly afterwards.

I'm not going to lie, Demon's Souls is the big one for me personally. It's close with Horizon 2 and R&C, but I have much love for the original souls game. It is @Shigurui says it is, there was always more going on behind the scenes in Demon's Souls. It'll be interesting to see how the Nexus works this time around, and whether any of the QoL improvements from other souls like games make their way into this reboot.

Can't wait for this, if it's available at launch then it's an instant purchase from me! Still my favourite souls game to this day, think I'll go back and platinum the original before the remake comes out.

“I’ve been fortunate enough to see it, and play it just a bit,”

A bit ? Really LOL!

@Arugula
Moonlight sword
My favourite weapon.. Goes through shield! 😱

Demon souls is the solely one game from Soulsborne series, which I didn't play at all.
Now I'm happy that it will be available in proper next gen cover, so I wouldn't have to go for any emulator bull***t with my PC to actually play it.

Time to go for the double platinum!

I vaguely remember my dabble in PS3 Demons Souls there was a thing called 'light tendancy' that was governed by how all the players in the (real) world were getting on and was tied to reward drop rate.
Any more experienced fans give me details and would it still work on PS5 version you think?
Edit, sorry now seen someone's already mentioned this

@Shepherd_Tallon - I have mixed feelings about world tendency. I think the mechanic itself is really good but because it used server median to dictate world states it practically forces you to play offline to control it, it'll be interesting to see if it's somehow managed better in this version.

@Shepherd_Tallon - It needs addressing for sure, yeah local control with no server median seems like a good call. Watching people hurling themselves off the top of Nexus in mass suicide attempts to push pure white tendency will never get old!

Call yourself a huge souls fan but haven't played demon souls, nice, you should definitely at least look up some game play videos or something

Hopefully they actually finish it this time and leave out any glitches that could potentially ruin the dark souls experience

I chortled when Shuhei Yoshida announced "I have something very near are dear to me"
He hated the original Demon Souls, Calling it crap LOL

I already am.
But, it is not my kind of game.

@BNAG_Gamer That plus the beggining of the trailer made me think it could be a Legend of Dragoon remake. I would've flipped! Sadly, no such luck.

@Arugula Remember the main hub and sometimes o so fun boss exploits. 😆

@Nem I think we will never see that game. 😢

@ShadowofSparta I got through the game a few times and had a blast. But getting some of those those special drops i just didnt want too go through it again in the end. 😆

This time when you die the SSD will get you back into the fight quicker 🤣

@Flaming_Kaiser tell me about it. I think the only reason I managed it was because I did it during one of my school holidays. 260 hrs farming haha

Crossing my fingers that this isn’t a launch game (sorry), bc I just can’t swing a PS5 at launch in this economy. Demon Soul’s will be a game you’ll want to get it on from day one, just to be a part of this first community that tackles the game together. I don’t typically play games online with others, but the Souls series has been a HUGE exception for me.

“YOU’VE BEEN INVADED BY xboxfan666”

@Futureshark Has to do with your deaths/deaths of NPC’s. But like others stated, it was tied to servers, so it could be a bit finicky. Like @shigurui stated, it’s a cool system that needs improved implementation.

@ShadowofSparta My worst game was Dragon Quest Heroes 2 i finished it and needed a few weapon drops after 200 hours and farming and farming and still no drop i said #### it im done. MHW getting the big and small monsters after 700 hours i still did not have the trophies and im so sick of it i cant start with MHW Iceborn. Farming the multiplayer trophy for Tombraider after that i could not be around the game anymore. 😆

I have the game on ps3 but stopped playing it since it has no save state lol , i love knowing i can save a game and leave it where i was at , looks like il take my ps3 out of storage to play it again . The game is so up my street , elder scrolls has a save state why cant this put it in the options menu let the player choose , manual saves corrupted on me before . I save twice before leaving a game a habit i got into since oblivion lol

But there really hasn't been any solid release dates so how can he say that? Maybe when the console launch date is announced they will tell us which of the games are lsunch games.

Hi there fellow gamers. I´m beyound excited for this game. It was my very first souls game experience and it was so difficult and weird that I went the easy route: Sorcery build 😁 Only after I played a few souls games that I decided to play it "for real" and loved every second of it. I just hope they adress the world and character tendency mechanics. They were not beginner friendly at all. Oh and the farming of items. That damned Pure Bladestone farming was nuts. Cheers and happy gaming to us all
