FFrom PlayStation Studios and Bluepoint Games comes a remake of the PlayStation classic, Demon’s Souls. Entirely rebuilt from the ground up and masterfully enhanced, this remake introduces the horrors of a fog-laden, dark fantasy land to a whole new generation of gamers. Those who’ve faced its trials and tribulations before, can once again challenge the darkness in stunning visual quality with incredible performance.
In his quest for power, the 12th King of Boletaria, King Allant channeled the ancient Soul Arts, awakening a demon from the dawn of time itself, The Old One. With the summoning of The Old One, a colorless fog swept across the land, unleashing nightmarish creatures that hungered for human souls. Those whose souls were stripped from them, lost their minds – left only with the desire to attack the sane that remained.
Now, Boletaria is cut off from the outside world, and the knights who dare penetrate the deep fog to free the land from its plight, are never seen again. As a lone warrior who has braved the baneful fog, you must face the hardest of challenges to earn the title “Slayer of Demons” and send The Old One back to its slumber.

By Dark PhaZe Go To Postmy body is readyyou'll be fine dark phaze
dont know shit about the game–figure I'll just go sword and shield
now let's go
By bud Go To Postmagic is forbidden, right?magic is really really cool, but you're gonna spend most of your time just kiting mobs and staying away from the action, so inherently that's the safer route (and you only get the cool shit later on)
read that it makes the game easy.
mana management is proper annoying in DeS too so I'd go melee first for sure

Magic scales super hard. Can burst most bosses even in new game+.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostWhat class should I start with? I tried a bit of Royal but I’m not feeling it.Knight. The good all round stats, armor, shield and sword that Knights begin with make them a good general starter that doesn’t excel in any one thing, but can take a beating, dish it out, and survive long enough to be molded into whatever you want.

Liked the talisman, starting weapon, and armour it gives you.
The Meridian set will see you almost through the entire game, but is heavier than the Fluted set the Knight gets.
By DY_nasty Go To Posthow did the camera get worse in the remakeyou can change it! They added several options including the classic one
By MonadL Go To PostSound design is so good fuck
I’m curious how the rain sound on a surround system. Sometimes games go overboard with some of the rear channel volumes

the claustrophobic prison in 3 too, I imagine. It was already scary as hell back then
I’m also loving what the DualSense brings to the experience. Through Sony’s new controller, I can feel the thrum of a giant demonic heart in one level, and a soft hum when my sword is imbued with magic. I’ve played with both wireless headphones and with TV speakers paired with sounds coming from the DualSense speaker. I might prefer the latter.

Not using my TV though. I have two 8” in wall speakers near my head for rear surrounds in a 5.1 system. I’ve been reading it’s phenomenal tho so I’m hopeful.
about to give up trying to make guts. Surprised this is lacking the scar resizing options bludborne had
going with girl
going with girl
By Fenderputty Go To PostSy are you playing performance or fidelity?Performance. Fidelity mode is zero improvement over performance via the devs and digital foundry. Unless you can tell the difference between native 4k and really good upscaled 4k

Yeah that’s what I was reading ... was wondering if you concluded but it sounds like you’re impressed with performance!
Completed the first boss (Phalanx) and I’m wondering what to tackle next. Should I continue in this world or go elsewhere?
By Perfect Blue Go To PostCompleted the first boss (Phalanx) and I’m wondering what to tackle next. Should I continue in this world or go elsewhere?You can continue up to the Tower Knight IIRC
you wont do enough damage on a couple of others yet probably
getting my ass kicked whew, been trying to get my shit back from this spear weilding red eyed knight for like 30 minutes lol.
lmaooo
keep a mental note of the place he's guarding, he's guarding something...peculiar.
if its the the same one that one-shotted Vaati. Come back later, when you get the key.

By jjasper Go To PostMade it to the tower knight last night. Bluepoint did a fantastic joblet's gooooo
you went with melee or magic? I think I'm gonna go with a Luck build lol (for Blueblood Sword)
By Yurtlicious Go To Post
lol what a dumbass
as usual in these games, when this happens, it means you're doing something horribly wrong.

By sy Go To Postspending 2 much time in photomode
By Yurtlicious Go To Postlol what a dumbassfave shots so far. The lighting is so beatiful yurt, ripped these straight from the thiccstation 5 but it still doesn't do it justice. You're gonna freak when you see it in person.

The excellent ambient occlusion adds so much to the corpses:
I've said it before but on the'yre own, the assets and textures aren't even that special, but the post processing and lighting effects transform them in a way I've only seen Last of Us 2 and RDR2 replicate. Good fucking shit bluepoint.
Very much stuck at the gates of boleteirnsia. A combination of my gamer legs not being back yet + the slower combat takes a bit of getting used to vs DMC5/Sekiro/Miles. I did remove my pants, it's weird that the starting armor burdens you so much or maybe it's because I'm in soul form?
I will not stop until I beat this spear using red eyed knight.Nothing else matters. I'm back at it again tonight after some much needed studying.
Other notes:
-The sound is incredible
-The dual sense implementation ain't all that impressive BUT I love how you can tell where firebombs are coming from, legit saved my life.
there's a ring in 1-1 near the blue dragon's nest that nets you +50% equipment load. Never go above 50% of your equip weight or else you'll 'fat roll'. Leveling up Endurance helps
ignore items burden/encumbrance since you can basically loot everything now and it goes straight to the nexus if you're full
lol there's really nothing behind that knight for nowww
