We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
I think it's about 10GB, or maybe that's the digital version
Hmm, bigger than I would've hoped but I can manage. Will just play Astro while that downloads lol.
Been watching on twitch, visuals are absolutely insane. Mad jealous of everyone that gets to play this soon, enjoy ya'll. Getting major fomo over here :P
Just imagining visuals like this in more open environments :chefskiss

Yes it looks incredible, and is smooth as butter... BUT... man I forgot how much fun it was to play! such a great game and it's been long enough that I've forgotten enough to enjoy it all anew. I'm very interested if anyone has any info about cinematic versus performance mode details. It was kind of hard to put down. You can pretty much stop in a random spot and slow walk the camera and be amazed, it's just beautiful. Where are the reviews ??? ooh i just found the DF hour long article.... Chose royalty and am spamming my wand around it's awesome.
Day One patch was 10Gig here.
Player population (number of messages and ghosts) seems quite high :)

Watching the Giant Bomb crew play and I was really impressed by how it sounds to just obliterate an enemy with soul ray. Makes me want to do a magic build to see how that pillar of hellfire spell is
Hope so, that would be pretty quick for me. Only asking since Miles is digital for me so that'll be taking awhile to download.
Watching the giant bomb thing and fuck this looks so good. Almost brings me to try finding a launch console.
Here are some pictures of what Maiden in Black looks like btw. I think it's fine.
This looks like someone in real life cosplayed the Maiden in Black.
That means, as happens with other characters, that is a more realistic take against the more stylized look of From games. It happnes with Patches too. And is kind of the same thing that happened with Wanda's face and people complained ad infinitium.
It looks good, is a great model, but it will be forever look off to me, same with Patches and any other NPC rendition.
The way skin, muscle, and fat looks and animates in this is truly above and beyond. Hands down the clearest example of a next gen showcase I've seen so far.
My copy is about to arrive, but my PS5 "pre-order" won't be available until the new year.
It's so strange that they decided to release all games/accessories on Nov 12 but the console a week later (in Europe I mean). It would be nice if they allow vendors to start sending the systems earlier next week, but I don't think it will happen.
I don't think it's ever outright stated, but I can surmise that
it was done by the monumentals to keep her in check, since she's supposed to be the strongest demon. Maybe seeing certain things can make her go wild, and that would tie in with all the people in Bloodborne who wear blindfolds, since that game was originally conceived as a sequel to this. All the level up women in Miyazaki's games are deprived of some important part of themselves.
Why does that matter? Except for some tickboxing exercise.
Do you think the average person is going to to say: "This looks next-gen but where's the ray tracing?"
As the Bluepoint guys said in the DF interview; there aren't many clean mirrors or water sources around...
First time player here: what a fucking bold move having new players be at half health for a solid 1-2 hours of pretty unforgiving gameplay, not allowing you to retain full health or even level up until you beat the first boss haha.
If I hadn't played essentially every FromSoftware game since I'd have been mighty pissed.

a showcase title implies it's using all the new features of the new hardware...DS sounds amazing but it shouldn't be called a PS5 showcase title
Does it? By what definition?
Would you go to an arts showcase and and say "why didn't you use all the colours in your painting?
It makes no sense why the word 'showcase' needs gatekeeping.
The game lighting is all real time meanwhile a lot of other game titles is pre-calculated and considering it's setting, is not like there's a lot of reflective surfaces unlike something like Spiderman, which it would be barely benefit from RT reflections.
The amount of geometric detail with intense use of tesselation, real-time ligthting, particles, shadow casting, etc... makes for a more visually stunning piece of tech to me.
Beat Phalanx, Armour Spider and Tower Knight before packing it in for the night. Having a blast so far, this game is a treat for the eyes
Listen if this is what makes or breaks it for you, by all means think that way. I just don't see why you can't understand not everyone feels that way.
Well that sucks too. Did you preorder right after that pricing event back then, or in one of the later waves?
I think they initially planned to launch this week in Europe too. Dunno what made them move it though, if it's launch stock, i don't see that a delay by a week would fix this, and launch stock seems very limited no matter what...
Hmm. Not sure about this. I see where you're coming from, but showcase to me just means visually stunning and ahead of the pack. It's definitely that game at the moment.
It will be interesting to see how Ray tracing is implemented as the generation progresses. I'm not sure the best 'looking' games are going to implement it to great effect. But I don't know enough about the tech and cost of using it.
Thanks. Regarding the spoiler, I never really understood that about the other game mentioned either...
rumors are that ray tracing might be added later to Demon's Souls...
You sure about that?
With that ruff, it does evoke Black Pete imagery. Which is a notorious blackface character. So yeah I can imagine why they chose to alter it, even though I think the original enemy looks way better than what they made of the PS5 version.
I do want to add, that I think the chance is pretty big, this wasn't a consideration at all.
In the DF video they mentioned real time global illumination by one of the devs.
Oh nice. I'll be interested to see how it is implemented then.
I tried on the first day in september, but it seems all the retailers here in Ireland over sold pre-orders before pre-orders had launched.
Fingers crossed for more stock appearing this day next week, but it's not looking good.
Besides getting 4K resolution, is there any point in playing cinematic mode? Performance mode is identical in visuals just with dynamic 4K, but 60fps.
This thread exemplifies the drawbacks of being a part of enthusiast culture.
This same dynamic exists in the world of music, and I assume movies, visual art and anything else.
