DS remake has been rumoured as the bluepoint next gen game for ages tbh, not that it was a definite certainty I guess but yeah.

Not sure if that was mentioned already, but I'm going to clarify this again here as well:

  • I never said that Bloodborne remaster is going to be announced at today's PS5 event. You can rewatch my video and see that it's true, it has subtitles and you can check precisely what I was saying.
  • I've said that Demons Souls remake will be announced today and it'll be PS5 exclusive - which, as you all saw, was confirmed.
  • I still insist that Bloodborne remaster is a real thing and it's going to be at PS5/PC.
  • I'm not responsible for what other insiders and people on Twitter were saying regarding Bloodborne and today's event.

I hope this will clear things up for now. But yeah, hopefully, it won't take Sony too long to finally announce the damn thing because now I understand why most insiders prefer not to share most of the info they know.
People trying to go for "gotchas" against you is embarassing as fuck.

Just finished watching the PS5 stream. First impressions:

  • the whole presentation bored me to tears. I hate those ◯,✖,▲ and ◼ popping up between games. Annoying and got old real fast.
  • The look of PS5 is ok, but I need the price
  • I don't see there is a huge demand for the digital version
  • Games overall look ok, graphic-wise. Ratchet Clark and Horizon are the only game makes me think "oh the graphics are pretty good (for console games)"
  • Hitmannnnnnnn 3! Jan 2021 too. That's fast
  • Very excited for Deathloop and Kena, too
  • Fuck R*. Not GTA5 again. WTH is Bully 2?

So many games from the showcase are EGS exclusives grrrr. Jet, Bugsnax, Godfall, Kena, Solar Ash etc. And without a doubt more on PC Gaming show.

Feels bad. Only P4G and (if true) P3 is Steam for the PC Gaming show.

Oddworld too. But the only one of these that I was interested in was Kena anyway, so...meh. Still, every single EGSclusive is one too many.

I wonder if thats why Sweeney was sucking Sony´s balls, so they promote his exclusives on their biggest show.

I am so tired of SQEX's bullshit. Show a game when it is ready, I am certain that this "project" will not be released within 3 years.

And "Designed for Playstation 5" or "Oh, actually we have a PC version as well 😉"

I have no idea why but this makes me think of a coffee brand "Brewed in front of a Playstation 5" that would be equally meaningful, and I should probably sleep now.

Wow that really did turn out to be a lot of PC games.

I don't think the titles shown that are PS5 exclusive would be enough to get me to buy a PS5 in their current iteration. Ratchet & Clank is definitely the front runner of PS5 exclusives.

Really disappointed that they didn't show or even mention PSVR. That would have been a huge selling point to me. A new Astro Bot for VR? Would have been there day one.

Gran Turismo has to win me back after their decades of half-hearted efforts. Not a huge Horizon fan nor fan of that particular genre. And while a Demon's Souls remake is cool, not sure how I feel about From not handling it, and the fact that Demon's Souls isn't my favorite Souls by far... I never even bought Spider Man PS4, just don't think that's my kind of game, but it does look great.

POWER OF THE SSD!
And all I see is that Ratchet dimension tunnels are the new loading screens.
That was 100% the only demo of it during the presentation. Which is exactly how I thought it would present itself, complete with the Sonic CD-esque transitions. I'm impressed with myself over that prediction lol.

Capcom please inject me with whatever the fuck Pragmata is.
This. First thing I thought of was Vanquish, but that was Sega. It seemed so Vanquish + Dead Space...

Demon’s Souls gonna have Performance/Resolution modes. So much for ‘everything’s gonna be 4k60fps now’
I imagine it's because of raytracing. The console GPU cannot do 4k/60 with raytracing. Heck a 2080ti can't do that. 1080/60 with raytracing will also be difficult. Performance modes will forego raytracing for better framerates, while the quality visual mode will probably be 4k/30 with as many graphical bells and whistles as they can manage.

I think the Demon's Souls artstyle looks fantastic. Many people (including me) got onboard with the franchise with Dark Souls so DeS will be a new game for many. It looks amazing (especially in the real screenshots) and will be hard as hell if they don't change anything. This would legitimately be a system seller if it wasn't 'a remake'.

The highlight for me was Hitman 3. I loved Hitman 2016 to bits but the technical issues in the first few months of Hitman 2 really soured me on the series. They eventually got fixed (not exactly fixed, but rather bypassed by the introduction of the DX12 renderer) but by then I had sort of moved on. A January release date for Hitman 3 gives me 6 months to get back to the game and complete it.

Gonna be honest, not a huge fan of the Demon's Souls remake. Too bright, too blue, too over-designed.
I know From was really hurting for money and time when originally making it, so it's not like From would've deliberately designed it the way they did if they had more freedom, but less truly is more in some cases.

I'm interested in a lot of the games shown but really no hype until they release and we can see what they really are. Also I think the PS5 looks fine, which means people will come around on it in a year or two if previous trends are any indication :p

I doubt I'll buy one anytime soon, the PS4 is working fine as a bluray player and most of the games that look interesting will be hitting PC too.

In hindsight I'm not surprised but no news on BB/Horizon on PC is still a bummer. I guess Saturday would probably be more likely?

Yeah I feel like some of these games looked a little early too, like the way Ratchet hitched up a fair amount. Horizon ZD 2 just looked a bit basic.

I think that final polish will be the thing that makes some of these games actually pop.

Summer Game Festival was pushed back a week, but thanks to Steam's broken demo submission process, you can see most (if not all) of the games that are going to get demos here. look for the June 9 dates Steam Search

I know, I was just poking fun at some folks that thought that 4k60fps was a given for all games.

Hope they replace healing grass with flasks lol
This would actually be a massive change to the game. I'm totally for it btw, but it would be a huge difference.

Especially the ability to spam grasses or magic spells could be hampered changing some of the more bullshit parts of that game.

I kinda like the grass because it made the earlier and easier parts of the game more meaningful. Do better, save more grass.

I felt like it was pretty well balanced as is. That's not the bit I'd complain about with the game anyways.

I'll just assume every non-first party game shown at the event will come to PC at launch. With only one or two being timed.

On the one hand, RE8 and Pragmata (whatever it is) both look great. Capcom's been amazing lately, so I imagine they'll be excellent.

On the other hand, the Demon's Souls remake is killing me. I have zero faith in Bluepoint to do a good job on it. Now, even if Sony decides to embrace PC and bring things over, they'll inevitably bring that over instead of a potential remaster of the original, which I would vastly prefer.

Yep. I mean yeah farm a bunch and just spam it. This way there could be more meaning. Tough they may have to do some balancing as I feel the design is not including the limited resource.

shapez.io is Factorio-lite and a steal at $4 USD.

Sometimes you just want a low-impact version of the games you like and shapez delivers. A minimalist logistics title that focuses on transferring various shapes via convener belts to your home base. Along the way you unlock increasingly complex tools to split, twist, turn & color various shapes from resource nodes from around a surprisingly large map.



There's currently no cost for adding & subtracting tools so it make the game feel like a friendly puzzle experience that encourages experimentation every step of the way. Presentation is super-clean making reading the board pleasurable & intuitive. Complimented by great UI interface and smooth music.

There's a progression chain of unlocking both tools and speed upgrades that give goal focus & direction. Nice balance of complexity & approachability.



Thumbs up.
