New Demon’s Souls gameplay reveals bosses, locales and more

Descend into Stonefang with several minutes of new PS5 footage.

[BigBosss]

Bro i was just literally thinking about hoping to see a new gameplay of Demon's Souls today and I came across this haha xD

Just finished watching the video in 4K and wow does the game look damn amazing! :O

[Sonic-and-Crash]

this looks beautiful ...having finished og Demon Souls -3 times at least ....it puts me in dilemma to which i buy first this or Rachet and Clank as 1st game on PS5 (having in mind the 80 Euro price tag )

[BigBosss]

Ratchet and Clank doesn't come out till late 2020 right?

[Sonic-and-Crash]

@BIgboss they say it would be launch-window game

[UltraNova]

Absolutely gorgeous!!!

Something needs to be said about the game's sound design, I mean listen to that audio man...pure bliss!

And that tunnel scene after the spider boss, against the troll workers, made me feel like I was playing in VR!

Bluepoint is on another level...

[TheLigX]

Ratchet and Clank doesn't release until 2021

[bouzebbal]

Nothing better to kick off a new gen!! Bluepoint went gun blazing on this one.. They clearly are the wizards of remakes

[mikeslemonade]

Too bad basically nobody can play this until like spring when the ps5 finally becomes avalible when you walk into a store.

[Jin_Sakai]

Best looking next gen game to date. Lighting is off the charts! Graphics are also beautiful and it’s 60fps.

[Bathyj]

Dynamic 4k 60.

[RpgSama]

@Bathyj

Right because:

Pong 4k 60 > Demon's Souls Dynamic 4k 60

/S

Those are just just numbers, some people are so obsessed about what DF tells them to like that they don't even see the game anymore, just the numbers, I could care less about what resolution my game runs at as long as it looks gorgeous and It plays amazing.

[Jin_Sakai]

“Dynamic 4k 60“

If it looks this good does it matter? The answer is no.

[SullysCigar]

I took Bathyj's statement as a positive, not sure why people are pissed?

Looks awesome and with all things considered 4k/60 (native or otherwise) is a pretty impressive achievement, especially given it's a launch title. Personally, I think it's stunning and can't wait to play.

[Juvia]

@Sullty-
It's sort of like being in an abusive relationship. We are all so used to xbox fans trolling PS5 articles that it becomes instinct to assume the worst when people leave a comment.

Good on you to clear things up. I also saw Bathyj's comment as a positive thing.

[RpgSama]

I agree with both of you, I'm just tired of this whole Resolution thing, I do believe we are in a post resolution age, I could care less about what resolution a game runs, I only care about how it looks to the naked eye, and even then, I'm playing right now Trails of Cold Steel 4, which looks AT BEST like a Ps3 game and I'm enjoying every second of it.

I just dislike the idea that you have to be told what resolution the game runs at for you to enjoy, seems like.

[Rocketisleague]

As a remaster it looks great. The only issue had been don't fanboys overhyping it as if it has been remade, bosses redone, new enemies and areas etc..It's not..its just demons souls. Graphically enhanced. The way it should be..if New content is to be added from soft should do that not bluepoint.

I really.dont.agree with 80 price tag too..none of the other remasters were full price? Right? How much was the Nathan drake collection? Jak and dax collection? Shadow.of.the c?

Lol...so.butthurt bigboss. Yoi can call it want you want. Its visuals have been enhanced sound has been enhanced. Does it have new content? Is the combat refined? Is it's a halo style update(graphics and.sound) or is it a resident evil 2 or ff7 remake?

[BigBosss]

Delete your N4G account and don't come back..Game is a remake and not a remaster. Google the difference.

[Rocketisleague]

For me, I played bloodborbe and sekiro and got the dark souls remaster. The gameplay of souls was extremely easy and doesn't hold up imo. Best thing for it will be online invasions again.

Demons souls and dark were 2.if my favourite games, at the time.of there release, I even got a ps3 for demons. Nowadays due to demons.theres a huge amount of games that took it's gameplay style.snd enhanced it. Bloodborbe, sekiro, star wars fallen order, god of war!

[4U2NV]

Wtf are you even talking about?! You sound a bit lost and clueless!

[Rocketisleague]

My only negative ps.comments are about demons souls bs

[Eidolon]

Looks great on my old 1080p monitor, gonna watch it on my 4K screen to see how it will look on it when I'm playing.

[Battlestar23]

Looks good but nothing screams next gen hopefully Sony will show a true next gen game soon. Microsoft is ahead with next gen looking games. Come on Sony show us playstation owners the goods. I want to see more of Ratchet and Clank that game screams next gen.

[Viking_mo]

You can't be serious? This looks better than every game Microsoft has shown

[RaidenBlack]

What does he mean? It looks like Dark Souls Remastered?

[xHeavYx]

@Viking
Don't feed the troll, he's just in pain because his console maker of choice hasn't shown anything on par with games this.

[BigBosss]

What do you mean nothing screams next gen?! Game looks amazing and was the only one out of the games that stood out to look like a true next gen game. Imagine what we see down the line especially with Horizon 2, GOW Ragnarok, etc.

"Microsoft is ahead with next gen looking games" You mean Halo Infinite that got delayed because of how bad it looked?

[ClayRules2012]

Yeah, when gameplay drops or just an in game trailer for God of War: Ragnarok, that’ll break the internet Gods lol. And when gameplay for Horizon releases too...I’m sure it’ll amaze in its own right. Can’t wait, bud!

I couldn’t even take @Battlestar22 comment seriously after saying “Microsoft is ahead with the next gen looking games” 🤦🏼‍♂️😂

Honestly tho, you’re so right, after Microsoft’s display of Halo Infinite, we know how they show and allow their studios to display their work and it wasn’t pleasing to the eyes in anyway.

[Charlieboy333]

Don't bother....I don't think his eyes work properly. Not enough green in the colour palette

[ArthriticPowers]

Personally don't find it that impressive. Solid but I don't see anything beyond that. God of war is a far superior visual showcase IMO. Rachet and Clank is the only next gen looking game so far for mine. But the hardware is there for all console gamers so it's inevitable those awesome looking games will be coming in droves. Going to be an awesome generation.

[derek]

Don't mind him, xbox fanatics are professional haters. A miserable lot the whole of them.

[SoulWarrior]

Did you forget the /s?

[Hedstrom]

Lol, best troll comment this year XD

[LordoftheCritics]

Sadly it does look like reshaded Dragons Dogma PC version. The textures and models look last gen.

The game still looks good but you can clearly see all of the last gen assets and models. Look at the walls, wooden areas. The ground also gives it away.

[BigBosss]

Just another Xbox fanboy bashing a game that the Series X will never reach and games they will never get. Enjoy the Gamepass.

[potatoseal]

No they don't. Last gen assets? That is total BS. You're full of it and you're just jealous. This is a benchmark title for next-gen games and you won't be playing it.

[SullysCigar]

Mate, I think you need to recheck the original version. It was impressive for it's day, but you've got those rose-tinted nostalgia glasses on.

The models are not 'last gen' lol Even in the first gameplay we saw, the boss is insanely detailed and the animation is next-level, slashes appearing on his body and his blubber wobbling around, fleshy tendrils waving as he moves - none of this was on the original models.

The game has been REMADE.

[SmokinAces]

Sadly your comment looks like a fishing expeditions. Next to R&C this is the most next gen looking game we've seen which is rather impressive considering its a remake. Just goes to show what a talented studio like Blue Point Games is capable of.

[potatoseal]

You are a liar.

MS have nothing next gen.

THIS IS THE BENCHMARK OF NEXT GEN and everyone knows it.

You're jealous hahahaha

[Bathyj]

Man you diehards have no credibility at all.

[ClayRules2012]

“Come on Sony show us PlayStation owners the goods” ummm, are you really a PlayStation owner?

And Microsoft being ahead with next gen looking games...from which studio, what titles are you referring too? I don’t see any.

It’s not Halo Infinite, I mean we all know how that went. If that’s Microsoft bringing the goods, I don’t want what they’re offering.

[TheProblem]

I swear, some of you xfans are indoctrinated!

[Father__Merrin]

It does indeed scream next gen it looks incredible can you point to another game on your platform of choice that beats this? Il wait.....

PS if you have no games doesn't automatically mean playstation 5 owners won't have games. I have a feeling your going to pick the wrong system again and be bitter about it. It's not playstation owners fault that Sony brings the games...

[Aussieguy]

Yeah that Halo gameplay Microsoft showed really looks next gen hey 😂

[Zega]

Despite all the thumbs down, you are right.Might be cross gen i dont know.
The game still looks fun and will pick it up.

[DaGR8JIBRALTAR]

"Us Playstation owners".....yeah right!

[Charlieboy333]

I can only imagine what it screams to you as you hug your xbox

[Binarycode]

Microsoft wouldn't know a Next-gen looking game even if it smacked them in the face.

Microsoft are relying on Gears 5 and Dirt 5. lmao.

Halo Infinite was awful.

As i Said before, MICROSOFT ARE NOT A GAMING COMPANY.

[System_Call]

You are just trolling.

[jbull]

Can you name a next gen game that looks better? Perhaps Ratchet and Clank? Microsoft had all summer and they blew it, couldn't even show us games running on Series X.

[Pughski]

I'm trying to think when xbox last came out with a great exclusive. That's a head scratcher. Considering Sony has released 3 phenomenal exclusives in 2020 so far.

[potatoseal]

That is so true

[anast]

must have pre-ordered the series s...

[NEXUS-6]

Battlestar23 - Congrats mate - thats a massive agree to disagree count, biggest I've seen.

[SmokinAces]

Looks amazing. The entire game screams next gen. Sony's been showing us the goods since the very moment they began talking about PS5.

[Viking_mo]

That player is clearly OP for killing the spider boss so quick

[System_Call]

I know I will die 20 times before I can kill that spider like that on the video.

[SoulWarrior]

This looks SO damn good. Really looks next gen, an example of what you can do with true next gen exclusives.

[BigBosss]

I'm crying in tears of joy right now dude :')

[Black-Helghast]

im crying in tears of sadness because I cant own a ps5 until god knows when and soulsborne games are my favorite type of games. so I'm literally crying in sadness

[Hedstrom]

So freaking good!

[AnnaDea]

Awesome, but as always with games I am looking forward too I will just not look to experience it myself.

[SyntheticForm]

It's so good.

[I_am_Batman]

Man I hope I get a PS5 soon after launch. This looks incredible.

[nickanasty206]

This game looks incredible. I have never been "gud" enough to make it through fromsoft games, but this type of immersion has me foaming from the mouth. Really hope I can have the patience to learn it and enjoy it. The visuals and attention to detail are incredible, so regardless it will at least be immersive. Also hope they take advantage of the Dual Sense to add that extra layer to the feeling of the game. The 3D audio is going to pay off on my Klipsch system no doubt, i just hope i can get good enough to actually finish this game. Anybody who has played the original, can you tell me if you take damage when using your shield?

[whitbyfox]

Depends what shield you have, small shields will take damage from magic and physical attacks and some heavy ones will have 100% block from physical or magical attacks.

[nickanasty206]

@whitbyfox you think this game is easier than the souls games? Just curious if this is a good place for me to learn the ropes. I have all the souls games and Sekiro, but definitely got to points in each of those games where i got stuck and just stopped playing them. I really do want to learn to love these games, which is why i bought them all.

[whitbyfox]

@Nick Demon’s Souls is just as hard as the others i would say, but i think anybody can finish it if you approach it the right way. Just take your time to learn the enemy attacks, lure them out one at a time and use the right weapons and equipment. Or you could just find a great souls farming spot and summon people to help you when you are stuck.

[Vanfernal]

No shame in summoning allies to help you out. The "git gud" meme is just that, a meme. A lot of us are always up for some jolly cooperation.

[whitbyfox]

No shame at all it’s all part of the fun and what made it so revolutionary back in the day.

[TitaniumExposed_VIP]

Good knowledge to have on a fresh start is to pay attention to the enemies animation and dodge/parry in the last second so the i-frames can save you, (play with light armor because "fat roll" has less i-frames and will fail you more often than not, the extra defense of heavy armor is not worth it) and lastly never get too greedy with your attacks when attacking the powerful ones. (no button mash)
These games are really not that hard once you mastered them.

[nickanasty206]

Interesting, not really familiar with i-frames. Maybe that has been my issue with Souls games all along. When i watch let's plays, people make it look so simple. When i play its a completely different story lol.

[TitaniumExposed_VIP]

I-frames means invincibility frames and happens in the dodge/roll animation, the lighter your character is the more i-frames he'll have, also the roll will be faster and longer hence why you will see many players dealing with hard bosses without any armor at all. However i'm not suggesting you play without armor, its a balance act.

Here's a example: https://youtu.be/424nURd8lz...

Most enemy attacks have a tell, that's why paying attention to the animations is crucial, also keep in mind that these games are harder in the beginning because the low stats make stamina management more difficult, you will eventually start to get more comfortable as the game progresses.

[nickanasty206]

Tnanks for the heads up on this. Hopefully this will help me to finish and love the game.

[Redemption-64]

I never got to finish the OG game, so I am very excited to get this and Spider-Man

[potatoseal]

OH MY GOODNESS !!!!!

This is truly next-gen right here. Blows my mind. I'll be playing this on launch day.

[BigBosss]

I'm surprised at some of these Xbox Fanboys bashing the game because they know the Series X will never reach this fidelity and will never get these games on their console only Gamepass.

[throne]

insecurity.....if hellbade 2 looks half as good as this, they'd scream "truly next gen" till their lungs are sore and bash anyone who says likewise.

[potatoseal]

Forget them, they're losers. The real bottom-feeding scum that are bottom of the barrel would even dare try and bash something this amazing. The rest know that there's no point. Not with this masterpiece.

[GaboonViper]

Ignore them mate, nothing more then a cult of losers, Demons Souls is hands down the best looking game ever and i cannot wait to get my hands on it.

[GusBricker]

Dude, calm down, it's a launch game. There will be games on both systems that will pass this graphically and you know it.

Fanboys of all times just suck.

[CoNn3rB]

Jesus that spider is horrible to look at...for the right reasons

[BigBosss]

which spider is good to look at for the good reasons? lol

[SullysCigar]

Bluepoint is about to cause a new pandemic of arachnophobia!

[FernDiggidy]

Bloodborne 2 would gave been so much better

[NEXUS-6]

Bloodborne 2 would be better released a few years from now. Its a marquee title for Sony and a one for them.

[potatoseal]

I bet Bloodborne 2 is still coming

[Vithar]

man tha look nice!!!

[spambot0815]

would preorder but i need to get my hands on a ps5 first. :-)

[System_Call]

Same escenario here. I can't pre order any PS5 game since I don't even know when will I be able to get a PS5 😔.

[thornh]

Well that was freaking spectacular! The lighting was absolutely stunning. Just can't wait for this system.

[Pancit_Canton]

That buttery smooth 60 fps though.

[PurpHerbison]

Nice lighting

[VerminSC]

Holy shit. To me this is the first next gen looking game. Those enemy animations and environments are amazing

[Miraak82]

Man gotta remember to be a female character when I get around to playing this , the Executioner Miralda set it my favorite armor in all the souls series , I wanna see what the new version looks like .

[PowerPlayaaa]

Without a doubt the best looking game ever made ATM. This SCREAMS next gen. Saying otherwise. Then your proper salty. Even the salt would turn his head and say. Wtf is this dude smoking.

[BoneMagnus]

I really like the magic effects.

[Smitty2020]

looks good, shame i suck at it lol

[PurpHerbison]

The old men in the stained glass windows at 5:08 is actually cut content from PS3 Demons Souls. Those windows didn't make it into the final version but the assets can be found in the games files. This gives me hope we will see more cut content, possibly even 6th arch stone DLC next year.

[Rambokind]

Incredible, this is going to be epic!

[Silly gameAr]

This remake looks so good. I just hope it gives me the same feeling I had playing Demon's Souls for the first time.

[bRuud83]

This game looks insane. I love the spider boss fight.

[CaptainHenry916]

Is he playing as a knight?

[System_Call]

Yes, why? Did it looked like a wizard?

[Ashunderfire86]

I need a new cheese 🧀 for that Flamelurker 🔥 boss fight lol 😂 In the original I was camping underneath the steps with my Mage 🧙‍♂️ build throwing projectiles at it! My favorite boss fight is the big Dragon after this fight wow 😳 that will look 👀 amazing on the PS5 can’t wait!

[potatoseal]

I cheesed him back in the day. I will beat him with no cheese this time around.

[Einhander1971]

This looks absolutely STAGGERING!!!!! On every level.

[ocelot07]

First 10/10 game or ps5 era I think.

[PurpHerbison]

I'd argue 9/10 at best. 10/10 should be reserved for original experiences. We have all played Demons Souls before. Still very eager and I think it will be better than anything that will release on that console in the first year.

[RickRoland]

I've never played demon souls simply because I never got to it. I think there's a whole generation of younger gamers that have not played this game. It might not be a 10 for you but it could be for a newcomer.

[PurpHerbison]

Rick, I understand what you saying but I think you missed what I was trying to say. The game already exists. Even if you haven't played it, a remake could never be a 10. They are just copying an already existing game and giving it some extra flair. How could that ever be a 10? Doesn't mean it will be bad though. But lets tone down on the 10/10 talk.

[Nacho_Z]

I take your point but on the other hand if the original was a 9 and the remake was amazing and improved the game in numerous ways, perhaps ironing over any faults I think it could be a 10.

[potatoseal]

I'd argue that the 3d sound and the experience with the new Dualsense controller could add to the game and the experience. This could easily rate higher

[PowerPlayaaa]

You do know that the original received alot of 10s aswell. That's a cult classic and a masterpiece. So yeah. This remake can get a 10 aswell. Eazy.

[MatriXcian]

OMG it looks so good, right around the corner!!!

[System_Call]

Right around the corner for those lucky enough to managed to pre order the PS5.

[phoenixwing]

the person playing made it look easy until they lost on purpose for the death animation to lead up to the sizzle reel

[Pughski]

Ps5 Seller. Looks amazing

[anast]

But can the PS5 run Maze Craze at 120 fps? Nah, really this game looks like insane fun and the graphics are top shelf.

[laserap]

I have butterflies in my stomach. I still haven't secured a PS5 yet, but when I do, this will be my jam.

[ziggurcat]

What's with the grunting while swinging your weapon?

[ironmonkey]

Jesus christ wow.

[SmokinAces]

Absolutely gorgeous looking game, Blue Point are wizards and Sony needs to open up that wallet and add them to the PS family like yesterday.

[Damrock]

Don't get me wrong, The game looks totally insane.

But...

That boulder at 0.24 that falls and breaks up just totally falls straight through nothing, Not as bad but the same things at 3:10 with rocks just vanishing through the ground.

Hopefully, stuff like this is sorted before release, Yes it may be something little but to me, it stands out like a sore thumb because everything else looks so good.

[Megaman35]

Awesome game...

[Aussiesummer]

I'm hoping the dynamic 4k 60fps mode still has all the graphical bells n whistles.
