Demon's Souls: Remake (PS5) - November 12, 2020

Co-Developed by JAPAN Studio and Bluepoint Games

From Japan Studio and Bluepoint Games comes a remake of the PlayStation classic, Demon’s Souls. In addition to beautiful shadow effects and ray tracing, players can choose between two graphics modes while playing: one focused on fidelity, and one focused on frame rate.

Never going to get a new Armored Core at this rate. Follow the money, I guess.

Can you at least port 4 Answer to the PC and unlock the framerate? I hate that some of my favorite games are made by Japanese, who seem to have a phobia of putting things on PC.

Well I agree you probably won't get another Armoured Core game, but this has nothing to do with it. Fromsoft isn't involved with this remake at all.

I believe it does. Souls games and souls-like games have performed so well that there's little chance we see any Fromsoft IP that isn't related to or derived from that formula for a long time. Even if Fromsoft isn't actually putting hands on this project, this project spawned directly from the financial success of the genre as a whole. You can bet the actual Fromsoft cats are not working on any other game that isn't a Soulsborne game.

Don't mind me; I'm just salty as hell. I'm super, super happy for both Fromsoft and for fans of the genre, but as a fan of Fromsoft's work that isn't related to this genre, its disheartening to see every egg in a single basket, even if that basket is wildly profitable and commercially loved.

It'd be like if 2 other games launched alongside the original Super Mario, but since Mario performed so well, you never saw the other two ever again.

I miss Fzero as well

[Cantih]

Oh shit, you're gonna set him off.

[Lucavi]

We'll get a new F-Zero when Miyamoto dies. Literally. The man can justify making a new game in a series if he can't think of a new gimmick to shoehorn in.

After what he did with Star Fox Zero, I'm content to just wait until he dies before asking for new versions of classic Nintendo IP.

@Cantih: Damn you. You know me too well.

Surely the point of a remake is to reintroduce a classic title to a new audience no? Why's this shit need to be exclusive?

Sony owns the IP.

Hard to tell on my phone at work, but was that the broken arch stone fixed when your raised up or is that Archstone still out of camera view?

Trailer gone because apparently someone fucked up by adding the PC part.

Also made it sound like it was eventually coming to Xbox.

[Krandor]

Also, it costs $70

I hope not, otherwise an easy pass for me.

$70 seems to probably be the new pricing for games. I think EA already did it with oone of their sports games.
