Demon's Souls will feature over 180 videos in the PS5's game help interface
- Thread starter Toumari
- Start date
The video hint should have been a video of a guy looking into the camera and saying, "Damn dude, look behind you. You made me make a video for this shit?"
People have a right to dislike it but let's not try and argue it shouldn't exist or should be removed in a general broad sense.
I mean I know people who never use music apps while gaming but the apps still exist and people can choose to play other music instead of the ingame music while playing a specific game.
Is that wrong? Should they be forced to listen to some boss music for a particular boss battle instead because other music will "break the immersion"?
I mean not only is this tucked away into the UI so you won't even see it unless you seek it, but it is optional, you can play the game without using it once.
Others will and for that reason it is why it exists.

Nothing wrong with not liking a feature but just initially saying "i don't particularly like this" without any kind of reasoning lends itself to others questioning why you don't like it.
it's an optional feature but if your worried about content creators then i can definitely see where you're coming from but i think they will be fine.
It really boggles my mind, making games more accessible without compromising the mechanics of the game should be celebrated by everyone.Love seeing people get mad at options like this.
Considering it's tied to PS+ i imagine every 1st party title will support this.
Maybe try participating in some discussions here. I can imagine the frustration especially if you're trying to avoid spoilers.
I'd be more than happy to give DS3 advice to someone who wants help. I've helped a number of friends nearly the whole game.
sorry for the missing /s, thought it was safe without it but you never can tell these days
I am a souls fan and getting "spoiled" on basic stuff that i could find in a guide means nothing for my experience, i am no purist who only finds joy in blind only playthroughs. It extra doesn't matter with an old game, the surprises could be spoiled but you still have to do the stuff yourself, avoid some confusion.
I imagine so. I have a harder time imagining other publishers utilizing it well...or at all.
And if few games, other than 1st party, use the feature it will eventually be dropped across the board.
Nintendo has a history with this sort of thing (creating a feature only they use with regularity). I can see it going the same way with Sony.
Something I don't understand about the ELITE players. If they really want a challenge, why do they not play with a broken controller with only one finger?
47 hours to complete TLOU2 on hard on my firsrt playtrough. Enjoyed it, best game ever.
Around 6+ months maybe more to finish Bloodborne (with a friend help around the end). Enjoyed it, best game ever ;)
Id like to replay and try to finish DS, there's no easy mode. Please let me check the hints, if you are an ELITE play with one finger, thanks.
You have to go out of your way to watch these videos. How is that spoilers in any sense?
I don't know how these things unlock, if they are all open or get unlocked as you progress.
It's just my usual attitude to spoilers in general, i watch other stream the game befor i have the game, which i'll use for my own playthrough. It might not be pure but i manage to have fun and love the series.
Imagine being offended by an optional feature that is designed to help players enjoy videogames.
That comparison sure is weird. Do you expect a video to pop up every time you approach a new area/enemy? And then re-appear every other time?
Some of y'all are fuckin' insufferable. You don't gotta use it! Shut the fuck up for real!
I really hope developers outside of 1st party or exlcusive stuff make use of this feature because its pretty awesome.

Gives someone in QA something to do for a few months. I wonder if devs will keep up with this expectation though. Seems unlikely to be honest, but I could be wrong.
It could be a nice way to format a developer commentary. Maybe instead of help you could look up the video about the design of that particular level or something like that.

It's a feature for everyone. And it sure sounds like handholding, which is fine bc some people will need it. It's not like I've never had my hand held watching a vid before to get stuff done.
Here for the salty og souls fans who are mad at accessiblity features. Anyway i wont use them, but they are a great option for those who want them. Dont like them? Dont use them.
I'm highly upset. Why is PlayStation helping people play Demon Souls? I want people to suffer through trial and error, bang their head like I did my first time through and overcome it! I can't believe this shit. Fuck this game now. I can't in good conscious pick this game up anymore. Other people's experience negatively impacts my enjoyment with my own copy and I can't in good conscious support this game with my money.
Its no different to being upset that youtubers post solutions. They're not going to be showing you solutions or tips unless you go looking for them.
Sounds great. I can't see myself ever using it and will immediately turn off any pop-up notifications if they exist, though. For me personally, figuring things out is a big part of the fun. But that's one cool thing about it, it's easy to access while being completely unobtrusive (I think?). It also seems like a great alternative to easy modes, when developers want to finely tune and perfect a single difficulty.
This is a really cool idea! Kind of like audio commentary on movies, I would love to watch developer commentary videos after clearing a game.

Can you turn that off? Haven't really been keeping up with ps5 interface topics. I already regret using walkthroughs for games now, I imagine I'll hate myself when it's that easy to do lol
So they finally caved in and implemented the "easy mode" huh.
Hopefully this feature will make the game more accessible to more people, while keeping the difficulty intact.

Some poeple don't want to see everything, that's how some trophies are behind spoilers on playstation and wonder if this feature is that thought out as well. Players may want some help but not the ending spoiled.
There are people who got accidentally spoiled to the final boss of ds3 because they accidentally pushed down and saw the community tab on PS4 and saw someone stream the final boss in a thumbnail.
You think the videos are just going to appear and spoil the game?
This is great. Honestly, this is what is needed for an "easy" mode option in the game. Doesn't touch the mechanics but makes sure that new players are well informed and arguably addresses the biggest source of Demons Souls difficulty.
If you're trying to make a point, I do in fact feel a bit spoiled about something I didn't know beforehand. I don't even know if it's real or not.
