I've only played a little of Demons so can you explain that for me?


At the beginning of Demon's, players are purposefully killed and sent to a central hub where they level up, it looks like the refuge is where you do the same, opposed to doing so at bonfires in Dark.

I finally watched it on something other than my phone and the problem is that it's daylight. The game will look great, but like I said From isn't Naughty Dog, it's all about art direction in these games. The footage literally looks like something ripped from a gothic horror novel. The sound design is amazing as well.

Awesome. I'll probably experiment with demon's again to see if it's what I want. Demon's lost me because I fricked up my character and once you do that you get screwed.

I wish people would stop believing these early trailers with graphics. Everyone gets excited then pissed when it comes out. Certain developers do that and I remember people pissed about dark souls 2 for this reason. Ubisoft is another, expect a downgrade. Few developers don't do that at this point.

I think the alpha taking place at night covered up some of the issues, as the light causes shimmering in some places, but the framerate is better.

Very possible. The video shown didn't look bad, just not as good. That aliasing was annoying though.

The aliasing was indeed pretty bad. At one point you could also see a seam in a ground texture. Hopefully since it's an old build they'll have better AA (or any at all) implemented at launch.

Well it does say footage is from an early build, how early who knows, I'm sure it will be quite improved before it goes gold.

I'm so hyped for this game it's not funny. I love the faster paced combat, as I always play aggressively in Souls games, and BB looks like an Edgar Allan Poe / Lovecraft fever dream. This shite is so far up my ally.

So can someone tell me if there is a basic rule of thumb for these games in this regard? When I played Dark Souls I just pumped a lot into strength until it got to 40. I'd like to go back and play Demon's Souls since I got it free on PS+ over a year ago.

Read manuals and guides IMO. Demon's Souls doesn't teach you anything in game.

This game might make me buy a ps4 if it never comes to PC


I'm holding out for a PC release. They say it's a PS4 exclusive, but there is still a lot of demand for a PC release. I think it'll happen. Just like the next Tomb Raider game.

Neither really do.

I played Demon's up until the hub then started getting scared because of all the "frustrating/hardest game ever" talk. I believed it because that tutorial boss wiped the floor with me.

The difference between this and Tomb Raider is that Sony's Japan Studio is co-developing this game with From Software, as they did with Demon's Souls. It's highly unlikely that this will go to non-Playstation platform.

It's the same philosophy, but you don't have to pump up any stat that high on NG, especially with Demon's Souls. If I were you, I'd just roll with a magic character; it was the most fun I had with the game. The opening boss is supposed to kill you. Most of the bosses in Demon's are a joke.

Yep, there's basically 0 chance it's coming to PC.

I love that instead of picking up a bloodstain you have to kill the enemy that killed you to get back your points. I like the hub and the fact that the world is supposed to be 'seamless' like Dark Souls. They're supposed to show the character creation later this week.
