Demon's Souls rated in Korea (Update: Japan too)
- Thread starter nolifebr
- Start date
That's what I said after the event. I am convinced games that didn't have release date (even the year) was caution about COVID / planning more than anything.
That's my guess. A "hardcore" game, a "for everyone" game and a family game.
Well we're probably gonna be getting gameplay soon. Might be at Gamescom or the next Sony event.
Rush it? It's been in development for three years, probably even more, considering one of Bluepoint's interviews regarding Shadow of the Colossus in which they say they've been making assets for a much bigger project alongside the development of SotC.
Also, it's not like they've got to design mechanics or play test systems or something, because everyone expect it and wants it to be an 1 to 1 remake of the original game, exactly like SotC.
The development of Demon's Souls has probably been mostly engine development, asset creation and implementation; technical stuff that Bluepoint excels in.
Miles Morales and Demon's Souls would make for one hell of a launch line up. Those two games alone would surpass what the PS4 had to offer at launch.
No disrespect meant to Resogun.

I don't know about Gamescom, Sony never really has a presence there. The question is, will they have anything for TGS which is going to also be online this year.
Also people are missing one very important piece of the puzzle to the whole launch lineup speculation, the actual devs where in the dark about the fine details concerning the event to prevent leaking. Devs did not even know the final date to the event. There is a very real possibility that the different teams had no idea that Insomniac was going to slap "Holiday 2020" on their trailer.
I think BP started working on it as they were finishing SOTC Remake, so that's about three years.
Kena: Bridge of Spirits looks really good too (also a launch title), though reviews will give a clearer picture of its quality.
1. Souls is not niche.
2. The vast bulk of day one console adopters are going to be the hardcore/gaming enthusiasts. Demon's Souls is perfect for that demographic.
I'm not expecting anything until mid to late September which is kinda nuts.
The granddaddy of the Dark Souls series getting remade for PS5 is niche? Lol
I'm really hoping this is good. Visually it looks fantastic.
What i'm saying is that these ratings from various board aren't necessarily an indication of a games imminent release. I'm not saying that it won't be there at or near launch. But people end up being disappointing in things like this because they set their expectations sky high based on something other than what a specific company is saying, and then if it colors their perception of that launch, event or whatever it was.
I think they kind of are, vast majority of people I know would either never even try them or have never heard of them.
when the games are ready they will be there for the PS5 launch, a month apart is a week before x-mas and shopping is done for most people.
they will 100% release the games they have ready for the PS5 launch on day one so that there is a game for everyone and to drive sales.
the big question remains if it all goes how it is planned or if there will be more delays coming up because of covid-19 like there was with Deathloop.
this makes no sense at all after 10 years
My guy, Souls games are extremely popular nowadays with Sekiro selling pretty well and winning TGA GotY. Just because your group of friends don't play them, doesn't mean it applies to everyone lol.
The other question about Bluepoint is what the 2nd project they teased with their 2019 Halloween tweet is?
They grew their team quite a bit with Shadow remake, but not to the size I imagine they could be working on two titles that require art redone.
Perhaps the 2nd is the Blood borne PS5 remaster? which really just needs a bit of tech TLC

When Demon Souls first launched in 2009 it was niche. Now, not at all
This is my biggest fear when it comes to Spider-Man. Hopefully that game is on time.

Dark Souls 3 has sold over ten million copies. That doesn't constitute as niche.
Did u not see the gameplay pictures released ?it is a remake . Gorgeous remake at that 😍
lol I'm shocked people still think Soulsborne games are niche nowadays.
Dark Souls Series Sales Surpass 27 Million Units Globally With Dark Souls 3 Selling More Than 10 Million Units
The Dark Souls series has cumulatively sold more than 27 million units globally, publisher Bandai Namco has just announced.

I'd guess that most games that are launching with consoles are about to go gold or already have. Halo probably left it about as late as possible tbh. If it doesn't get delayed in the next week or so it's pretty much a lock.
Nope, these games are far from niche and there are many people adoring the Souls games but they never played Demon´s Souls. this remake will sell like hotcakes because many people want to see how the whole Souls style games saga started. this would be a system seller easily on par with Miles Morales.
also, these days you wanna have a more "hardcore" game for a new console launch as a publisher so that gamers who like challenging games also have something to play.
Spider-man and Demon's Souls alone would make PS5 have the best launch games since PS2. They really are addressing the main criticism PS4 had at launch and for a while after too. I hope the games don't get delayed, may well be the first time I buy a PS console at launch, haven't done so since Dreamcast.
Boi, If Demons makes launch.. 😳
I can see February
I'm convinced it's MGS 4 redone in 4K 60fps.

i would guess some smaller games also at launch, like sackboy and destruction all stars. even returnal....
next year probably some more unannounced games as well. together with deathloop and ghostwire tokyo :)
I still could see GT7 coming for PS5 launch too, maybe in a prologue style or even the full game. GT7 looked basically ready in the presentation footage
i think GT Sport was some sort of test balloon which they have made from assets they had from years of GT7 development. the heavy lifting for GT7 was already done quite a time ago in this case.
Demon Souls this winter. Elden Ring next winter? Dont wanna see them clash by only a few month apart...
Yeah for some reason I always consider them niche, but I take your points on board. I love them and have played all except for Demons Souls. I think I just look at what kids are playing and the average person and I still see it in 90% of cases that its FIFA, COD, etc...
I think a lot of people want healing, world tendancy, and magic to be revamped/updated a bit.
I did say I hoped it wasn't rushed, simply because sometimes games get rushed to meet launch, and with covid I'm sure many plans had to be changed. But as you say, I hope they've had plenty of time and I hope they have adapted to covid well and the game turns out amazing. It's one of the ones I'm most looking forward to, and it would be amazing for BluePoint if it met launch because that's going to give it a lot more visibility.
