Demon’s Souls was targeting launch/launch window according to Imran Khan
- Thread starter Herey
- Start date
I got a couple of levels in - scary witches in prison I think - then hit one of the NPCs in the nexus and couldn't finish it (they kept running after me and attacking me)
Astro, Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Demon's Souls would be a great 1st party launch lineup, alongside all the 3rd party exclusives / timed exclusives and multiplatform games.
Bloodborne was my first 'souls' type game so I'm really looking forward to playing this for the first time.
Are you me? XD
Thats pretty much what happened to me which led me to drop the game lol
We've been conditioned to think of the best games as never being available at launch.
Presumably because he wrote "had" rather than "have", but I agree that it doesn't sound like this has necessarily changed.
Even if you considered the June event to be all realtime/in-engine stuff, DS only showed what you'd normally consider a teaser - not any gameplay. So I think based on other games showing more comprehensive gameplay, its pretty reasonable to have considered DS a little further out vs some of the other games that were shown (GT7, R&C, Sackboy, Spiderman for instance)
Reading through the thread, there's nothing indicating it has changed. Arguably, the rating "leak" only supports it.
Niche? Dark Souls series sold 27million units till now, i would say that is a very lucrative niche.
having the remake of Demon´s Souls at launch would be a BIG selling point for many players around the world, even if its not a From developed title.
there are loads of Souls fans who never experienced this game, it will be a big hit.
and if it makes it, how is Miles Morales niche? or was this post a joke?
We have screenshots of gameplay and this has been in development for years. Bluepoint ship titles every 2-3 years, this wasn't going to be any different.
Feels like it would be a solid March game. Kind of what Second Son was to the PS4, or Oblivion was to the 360. Just outside the launch window, and keeps the momentum going into the spring.
Yeah its about time for Demon's Souls to get its dues. Its gonna do really well.
I believe it's a joke referencing a poster(s) calling Spiderman "niche."
Demons Souls was a niche game in its era, but yeah, the visibility and awareness of the series has changed drastically since then.
Yeah, maybe the post was referencing the "Niche-Man" memes, i am never sure when stuff like that is written other that someone marking it as joke or sarcastic :-)
and yep, Demon´s Souls remake will be a major driver of PS5 sales as Bloodborne was for the PS4. this series is not niche anymore, many people are eager to see its origins in splendid fidelity.
I'm referencing an infamous post! I absolutely agree Dark Souls has put the IP in the spotlight and both games will be huge.
The game that essentially spawned a new genre and the next-gen follow up to a game that sold like 13 million copies in a year...niche?
I just thought that post was silly because they were talking about the magic of discovery in a new game unknown to the world and filling out the wiki or something. Everything has been known for over a decade. There won't be any significant differences, if any.
So anything that's not a 3rd person story driven game is niche now? I could care less about Spider-man (or any super hero game) but I wouldn't call that and ARPG games niche.
You mean you've actually heard that it will be delayed? Or are you just advising to assume the worst based on the other delays? I had assumed that it being rated already meant it was basically finished.
I'm not confident that will be the case. There are significant differences between vanilla DS2 and SOTFS and this will be a far more extensive remaster than that was.
You can absolutely be certain that enemy and weapon placement, equipment variety, and spells will get a revamp because that's trivial to do and some of that stuff was super broken.
I'd also expect the tendency system to be WAY less obtuse than it was.
I would be surprised if DS doesn't make it this year. Seeing what Imran says, it's very plausible that things might have shifted due to Covid which is unfortunate. But still, I'd be utterly shocked if DS isn't in our hands before 2021 or at least first half strikes.
Bluepoint has said that they consider SotC 2018 a remake, and Demon's Souls to be a re-envisioning as it goes beyond what they did on SotC 2018.
Do any of the insiders know if this means we are getting the 6th zone?
Do any of the insiders know if this means we are getting the 6th zone?
Can we really expect this game to be ready less than 3 yeas before Bluepoint last project? I hope it is but the time frame alone makes me very skeptical that this will be day 1.
Imagine being told in February 2009 that Demon's Souls rebuilt from scratch w/ray-tracing, 3D Audio and Haptic Feedback would be the PS5 launch killer-app.
