By bud Go To Posti'm ready for demon's souls, lads. that's the only launch game i'm getting.the great thing about DeS is that its the most replayable game they ever made, you're guaranteed to miss shit, depending on your actions and server (!!!) it's all tied to a system they call World Tendency.
will get into tsushima afterwards.
fuck up too much (or not at all) and you might lock some doors for good and miss out on special NPCs and weapons (and maybe an optional fight...)
that, of course, assuming they keep this.
Intro to World Tendency System
In Demon’s Souls, your actions in the world of Boletaria will weigh heavily against your character. This should be familiar to all you gamers out there—maybe you’ve experienced it in the form of “morality,” “karma,” or by another name before. In the world of Demon’s Souls, it’s known as Tendency, and it’s attributed to both your character and each of the regions you’ll traverse.
When you begin play, both Character and World Tendencies start off at neutral. Depending on your actions, they can shift to white or black (good deeds make it go white while bad deeds make it go black). But of course, it isn’t as simple as being either black or white, as there are shades along the way that determine the level of Tendency’s effects. So if you’re just a little evil, enemies will only be a little more difficult to down, whereas if you’re a true miscreant, well then you’ve gone and made an already brutally difficult game a lot more brutal.
At any given time you can jump into your Main Menu and navigate to a convenient Tendency tab to try to gauge what state your actions have left the world and your character in. Each region’s Archstone is there to represent its respective World Tendency, whereas Character Tendency is represented by a human figurine in the center. For both representations, they’ll gradually shine with an increasingly brighter glow or shift towards a darkness void of any light to depict white and black respectively.
World Tendency
As stated before, each Archstone region has its own World Tendency. These are all completely independent of each other; your actions in one Archstone can never affect the Tendency of other Archstones, and there’s nothing to stop you from simultaneously having one Archstone be a shining beacon of hope and good will while another acts as a blackened bastion for all things unholy. You’ll want to use this to your advantage, since you might find greater benefits in keeping a certain region white while the allure of turning another region black draws you.
In worlds of black Tendency, you’ll find that enemies give you a lot more trouble than usual but also give you more Souls and better drops once defeated. That former point is the result of their attacks being stronger and your HP being lower. When World Tendency is white, the opposite is true: enemies aren’t as difficult, your HP is at its max potential (depending on form, of course), but the rewards for putting down enemies aren’t as great as they could be. And as mentioned before, the degree of these effects will grow with how white or black the region is.
So now that you know what you can strive for, here’s what you need to do to get there. When you defeat a boss within a world, it’ll shift Tendency towards white. If you lose your body within a region (which is to say, you die while not in Soul form), it’ll shift Tendency towards black. These are your most basic ways of changing World Tendency, and your only options to initially stray from neutral Tendency. Once you’ve pushed things enough to white or black, new options will open up to help you shift back in the opposite direction. For example, in regions that have achieved a certain level of black Tendency, a special Primeval Demon will appear. Killing it will help shift Tendency back to white. This is the more basic example, however.
Each Archstone region has a special NPC that is deeply rooted in World Tendency. At the further end of white World Tendency, you’ll open up access to this NPC, and will find yourself rewarded with typical RPG goodness: new quest, new item, etc. However, should you not be happy with your white World Tendency, you’ll find that offing the NPCs spawned by it is quite convenient for taking things the other direction. Should you blacken the region enough, you’ll find yourself greeted by its special NPC once again, only you might notice they have a different aura about them this time… Now they’re a Black Phantom NPC, and like most characters in Demon’s Souls, they want you dead. As you might already have guessed, killing these Black Phantom NPCs can greatly shift World Tendency back toward white. As an aside, whether the NPC you’re killing happens to be good or evil, you can always count on their corpse to yield new, usually rare goodies, which will differ depending on their friendliness at time of death. It’s incentives like these that’ll ensure you won’t simply leave World Tendency be.
I remember going offline to manipulate world tendencies to unlock the pure white/pure black stuff in a single run.
Character tendencies were even more iffy.

i'll wait for the next-gen patch, which they said will come out next year, iirc.

ameen.
i'm ready, yurt.
should i go for the 30fps mode to make it an authentic from software experience?
By Facism Go To PostI remember going offline to manipulate world tendencies to unlock the pure white/pure black stuff in a single run.I still see that 4-2 corridor in my sleep

when it was first released we had to figure all that shit out because it was never explained
the aura of mystery that surrounded its mechanics was quite special and something I don't think I'll ever experience again
By Laboured Go To Post
Can't wait tbh
happy for facismo and vapesimo
but this technically isn't From so maybe go 60 fps
By bud Go To Postameen.honestly? I'd always prefer a graphics mode over performance for From games. I'm not here for the silky combat, I'm here to soak up the atmosphere and to see the inherent beauty that can be found within everything, beyond all the withering and decay.

It's kind of crazy that a launch game competes and i some cases outclasses the best of late gen games. The geometry especially.
By Smokey Go To Postare bluepoint capable of making their own gamesure, but would sony give em the money
By Smokey Go To Postare bluepoint capable of making their own gamemaybe soon, who knows! Ready At Dawn was in a similar position back then, no?
I'm sure they learned something from remaking two mona lisas
By Daz Go To PostThis is one of the few things from demons souls I remember
I say give them the Order Sequel - Complete the circle.
Crazy how much better the game looks
By Yurtlicious Go To Postmaybe soon, who knows! Ready At Dawn was in a similar position back then, no?Ready at Dawn was working on Sony IP, but they were making their own games. Ghost of Sparta is arguably the best God of War, too.

Following the Mafia remake up with a Mafia II chaser.
The touch ups in the DE are pretty minor, overall it looks a fair bit worse than the Mafia remake, but I'm not complaining seeing as it was added to my library for free as I bought the original Mafia II in a sale 9 years ago.
