Community MetaSteam | September 2020 - An Offer You Definitively Can't Refuse

[Avern]

Demon's Souls remake looks awful. The movement animations are stilted and the hit animations seem to have no weight. Also (and I realize this is incredibly petty), but I hate all the extra detail and color. Part of what made DeS work was how, within their super limited budget, they made the game's art work by leaning incredibly bleak. Like, the Boletarian Palace, by having less detail, takes on a brutalist vibe instead of what you'd expect from a medieval castle. All the bright colors and almost cartoony effects in this remake feel so out of place. Praise RPCS3, since they'll probably sell this remake in the future instead of ever remastering the original.

DMCV:SE though... That's the good shit. Definitely making me think about a 3090 instead of a 3080, just so I can get the highest possible frame rate with RTX on.

Also FFXVI looked fine. The graphics are downgraded from XV but XV was so large, bloated and boring...it really did feel more like a giant future proofed tech demo than a game most of the time. I'm all in favor of what I saw with XVI. Seemed grounded and more engaging tho it could just be the trailer. It looked more like a video game (like 13 for example).

And downgraded graphics is good news for PS5 owners too because it means performance will be great unlike XV. And on PC maybe they push for 120+ fps. It will be great.

WHAT IS GOING ON, IM GOING MAD

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Everyone seems to be rushing to downplay the demons souls news

This guy is just so consistently good, it's kinda incredible

 

[xxr]

WHAT IS GOING ON, IM GOING MAD

Yeah, this is super weird.

 

[Stone Ocean]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

What the actual fuck

 

[ISee]

They are taking it from the trailer. Still not good enough of a confirmation.

 

[Prodigy]

They are just saying what is in the trailer.

 

[Shahem]

Im curious how that PC text didn't get checked on before they released the video. Should be tons of people at Sony/Playstation checking texts in videos carefully.

Rookie mistake, clearly.


Unless.....Well.

 

[fantomena]

Sony needs to hire video text fact checkers, Im still thinking it's an error.

 

[toxicitizen]

They are taking it from the trailer. Still not good enough of a confirmation.

Well at least if they report on it we'll find out for sure sooner rather than later.

 

[QFNS]

All those outlets are reporting from the trailers y'all.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

You know you've fucked up your messaging when as a company you can come out and explicitly say something but still people won't believe you

 

[Dekunator]

I feel like the trailer would have been taken down by now if it was inaccurate. It's coming, we're going home lads.

 

[nofuckinidea]

Yeah I don't believe it until the Steam page shows up

 

[Swenhir]

On the other hand, isn't Sony the kind of corporation that agonizes over every pixel and word of their trailers? If it's not coming to PC, this is some chicken-made protein on their face.

 

[fantomena]

Sony seriously need to take down the trailer and change it asap if it's wrong.

 

[ISee]

But why announce DeS on PC and not Bloodborne?
This doesn't make sense.

 

[fantomena]

According to Sony Japan, Sackboy and Horizon Forbidden West is also coming to PS4.

I don't believe it.

Edit: also here

More funny: It is a mistake, but now Sony has to port it because they don't want to look stupid.

Sony is now contractually obligated to port Demon's Souls to PC

This doesn't make sense.

DeS is the better game anyway

No I'm not kidding, sue me

Could be the "other console" mentioned in the trailer.

Disappointed Sony would force cross-gen games. Weren't they all about how next-gen allows for completely new experiences ?

Weird.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Horizon 2 cross gen?

What the actual fuck is happening

 

[Prodigy]

But why announce DeS on PC and not Bloodborne?
This doesn't make sense.

To be honest when I saw that PS+ ad I thought articles were going to pop up saying PS+ was also going to PC with those games being available to download.

 

[ISee]

DeS is the better game anyway

Of course, your name and address please.

 

[fantomena]

Horizon 2 cross gen?

What the actual fuck is happening

Sony:

 

[guhguh222444]

On second thought, maybe we can still fix this trashheap of a remake by modding the old sound effects back in when it comes to PC. LMFAO.

NO GAMES

 

[NarohDethan]

There’s no reason for it to not come for PC guys, calm down

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Horizon 2 is cross gen???

Sony doing their damned best not to sell me a PS5

 

[fantomena]

If all of this info is true, then MS:

Also:

 

[AHA-Lambda]

80 fucking euros a game??

Seriously I'm still convinced that MS can absolutely take this gen sales wise with the XSS, too many people underestimate the power of being the cheapest

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

£70 base price? That's going to impact attachment rates for sure.

 

[QFNS]

Are they charging $70 for Demon's Souls for real? SONY says YES TO $70 games

 

[Arsene]

Remember when Sony fanboys were making fun of Microsoft for making their games for both Xbox One and Series X?

Wonder where they are now with Horizon and Spider-Man confirmed for PS4 lol

 

[fantomena]

 

[curi0usBystander]

I get why we have the famous 1$ = 1€ (1 pre tax dollar vs 1 post tax euro)....
But in what world $70 becomes 80€ ?
(I know that that was already happening with 60$/70€, but I have the same question).

 

[Hektor]

80 fucking euros a game??

haha

haha

The amount of videogames that'd be willing to pay so much for can be counted on like two hands, maybe three

 

[Shahem]

There’s no reason for it to not come for PC guys, calm down

We need firm confirmation. That is all.

 

[fantomena]

The Demon's trailer is still up. The hell. Take it down if it's wrong.

Was thinking as I watched the presentation that Demon's Souls looks like the Hollywood movie version of a thing.

 

[ISee]

You know what. I'm changing my opinion.
DeS is coming to PS4 and PC.
Just a bit later.

 

[low-G]

Also apparently future Oculus developed releases are coming to Steam.

So we're way beyond the looking glass here people.

 

[fantomena]

You know what. I'm changing my opinion.
DeS is coming to PS4 and PC.
Just a bit later.

I already decided not to get a PS5 at launch, but later, all this info, at least the PS4 crossgen info, has made that decision far easier.

 

[d00d3n]

It is a bit sad that Deathloop came across as the least interesting game of the Sony showcase. Arkane Lyon finally making it absolutely clear that they are not making an immersive sim. But still, somehow, not making it clear what you are supposed to do in the game, and why it should be of interest to us.

The blandness reminded me of the awful "The Club" for 360/PS3. I still remember some of the embarrassing reviews of that game, of people getting caught up in the hype for a game that was soon to be forgotten. I think the key word was "style shooting" or something like that. You did it on a timer. I guess that is what you do in Deathloop as well?

 

[warp_]

wow! so maybe also on pc at some point?

 

[CommodoreKong]

The Demon's trailer is still up. The hell. Take it down if it's wrong.

I doubt it's wrong. That is a super easy mistake to spot and there are likely quite a few people at Sony who would have looked at/approved the trailer before it went public.

 

[yuraya]

Digital only console and game prices go up by 10$ huh.

We need Tim Sweeney to start disrupting these console monopolies so that game prices become lower.

....

.....

..

 

[Dekunator]

The Demon's trailer is still up. The hell. Take it down if it's wrong.

It's definitely true at this point, stop freaking out and b r e a t h e

 

[Shahem]

What are Sony waiting for ?
