I am so going to rage quit in that game... then pick up the next working controller and try again. I will need many controllers.

Its interesting because of the switch Xbox is making.
Sony make 100 million+ AAA games and hope 10+ million people buy it for $60 now $70 (with some sales.) Usually 2-3 of these games a year.
Xbox are switching towards a model where in theory, Halo Infinite will never even sell 1 million copies for $60, because its multiplayer is free to play (doesn't count) and the singleplayer is on Game Pass.
But, this is the new idea, if say 20 million people sub to Game Pass for $120-180 every year, then technically every 1st party game Xbox release, like Halo, will sell 20 million units (just with indirect payment).
Sony is like "pay us $70 for this game and $70 for this game" every year. The hope is to sell enough units for profits.
Xbox is like "pay us $120 over the year and have all our games" each year. The hope is to sell enough subs for profits.
Its switching for getting big paydays on release days to more regular annual revenue.
It will be interesting to see if/how that affects their game development. Bethesda & Id will ones to watch.

Because I think Sackboy adventures supports up to 4 player coop. And I have 4 x DS4 controllers here with my PS4. Buying it for my PS4 and then upgrading to PS5 version then would mean I would need to buy some more dual sense to continue playing coop.

Slam, smash, and boost your way to fame in Destruction AllStars, coming to PS5
Wreak havoc on foot and behind the wheel in this over-the-top car competition.blog.playstation.com
Because Sony saw the market for Bleeding Edge was huge.
Edit: $70 plus looks like a GAAS with heavy MTX.
Could be a fun game. Need more gameplay footage. Not worth full price buy to me yet.
This game feels like it'll be on PS Plus at some point in 2021. I can wait. Hope its fun.

I consider myself the most Noob player You can ever imagine. I always take longer to beat a game. But I am proud of beating this one. Every boss I killed had a huge sense of achievement. Such an awesome feeling.

Agree 100%. These new consoles (and new PC GPUs etc) will so much fun. Hopefully everyone enjoys what they play.

yep... which is why I was saying Im going to need some more controllers lol

The reason we are seeing $70+ games because the consoles are cheaper. They are only shifting the money from the console to the games. People are fighting over Sony and MS like their 'maneuver mass' while they are laughing and filling the bank with $$$$

You "think" but you dont know.
Even then Halo's world is barren as fuck. Can you explain the cutscene with craig's uncle? Thats not open world is it.

Insomniac confirmed the game will be running 4k60. We all know Spiderman is open world.
1+1=2. Or is it? Can you ask phil to confirm?

What an incredible shot and I love the "exclusively on PS5". Doesn't seem to leave much room for PS4 in that case. Great to see that. I'm confident that this game will look and perform beyond incredible

If you finished bloodborne you have what it takes, Demon souls is for you.
Believe in yourself.
Souls games are easier in some ways. Hardest thing for me in Bloodborne was totally doing without blocking or shields. Once adjusted to that, it was very similar. But people going the REVERSE way will probably LOVE being able to use shields and block even with weapons!

That's exactly what they count on, like you said with Netflix. Once people sign up to a subscription, it takes a lot more motivation to cancel. So lots of people will sign up and keep paying even if they're not using it. It's kind of like insurance....you need all those young, healthy people paying the premiums and not USING the service to make a profit and to fund those people with serious medical issues and advanced age that DO use the services.

Why the hell are we making ray tracing such a big deal if we have to ask "is this ray tracing?" So funny they can keep it as long as my games run classy and are fun!

What about GoT, an open world PS4 game that looks way better?

Limited use of raytracing is far better... Every game would be plastered with glass and chrome like surfaces. Like a wall paper rendering from 1992.

I started with bloodborne, then ds3, ds2 and ds1 in this order
On souls I have just used pure mage, so no armor/shield, just spells and maybe some dagger for emercency + low health high magic builds
Bloodborne is 10x harder, souls have been kind of easy as mage. Just rolling around evading mobs and casting spells and hoping to not to get hit.
One ds3 dlc were impossible for my mage, mobs had higher resitance so it ate too much of energy to beat even few
I still havent finished bloodborne, I use the cane + kind of weakling dude and he dies on few hits sometimes.
But imo souls just arent hard, more like "be carefull and it works"

Bloodborne was the fist Souls game I've played. Good to know it's easier with a shield and weapon block.

I have to say, I'm VERY interested in Godfall and will be getting that as well. Although, the sentimental angle as well as just seeing AMAZING footage from Demons Souls will have me torn (I'll be getting DS too of course!). Probably gonna be testing out that quick resume feature quite a lot in going back and forth between these two!

Dodge, Parry and Visceral makes Bloodborne the easiest game.
It is really a cake walk even in NG++++++.
Dodge and Parry makes BB easier.
You dodge, attack.
You parry, visceral.
Repeat to every single enemy or boss (even the last one).
Use the gun that looks like a shotgun... it make parry so unbelievable easy.
Demon's Souls is more difficult than Bloodborne because you don't have any way to avoid attacks and create counter-attacks like Bloodborne.

Demon's Souls is still very difficult. That fucking game becomes more difficult if you die alot
. Best is to farm souls in the easier levels and upgrade. I spent many hours farming in first level in the castle

Yeah, they need to show why it's worth full asking price. It needs a good variety of arenas, modes and longevity. PS+ is a good shout if it doesn't.

What? You can just roll through all kinds of shit in DeS like all other soul games. There's only 2 types of rolls in DeS where the other soul games have 3. As long as youre below 50% burden you're good. DeS isnt anymore difficult than Bloodborne.

Wondering if we can have both a home PS4 Console and a home PS5 Console so we can conceivably play 3 (with one login)-4 (one login per Gen) players with one purchase of the game?

You know, you wrote something here that triggered some thoughts for me. SuckerPunch is a pretty big developer, right? They've kicked out AAA games in the 4 year window often enough. WHY did Ghost of Tsushima take 6+ years? From the trailers and things we were seeing along with the delays, I had thought that the game was going to be announced as a PS5 game in the end, but it wasn't. So....were they working on a PS5 version as well? Or do they have another project they were working alongside GoT? Just seems odd for an experienced dev like that to suddenly take over TWO FULL YEARS longer than normal. Maybe they just had some large issues on the technical side or had to pretty much start over at some point- I know it happens, but still, seems very odd.
In any case, I think that's something that Sony could work on to counter the whole subscription gaming model MS is going for. If they could find a way to shorten the development cycle..even turning is down to 3 years or less instead of 4...these studios could turn out a lot of additional AAA games and make more $$. Maybe some of the PS5 features are meant for this? I mean it has to be a major pain and planning effort to have to plant duplicate graphic assets in different places in your code to allow for systems to be able to load them up faster. With the PS5, technically you should be able to use that asset ONCE and not have to worry about the location on the HDD so that you can load it quickly again in the future. THAT has to take some major time off of the project with the planning and execution of that type of thing. What other factors could be reduced to help devs be able to shorten the development time cycle? If someone can make advances to where game development really just needs time spent in the planning, main coding and then the art aspects...I'd imagine games could be put together MUCH quicker and stay at the same quality?

Certainly not from what we saw. The main problem of their demo was specifically the lack of details and the low resolution of textures even compared to current gen open world games.

I saw a lot of confusion regarding Halo today... Let me clarify some things...
Halo is not an open world, is a series of big maps glued together...
That doesn't make it a BAD game, in fact, I like the idea a lot, but to justify the look, based on "open-world" experience, NEHHHHH, 343 should be closed as soon as MS can.

Well Bloodborne is near impossible to die and you can kill even bosses in 2-3 viceral.
It is way easier.
I have Platinum in both games... took me way more hours in Demon's Souls because it is way harder.
A clear design difference in terms of difficult between DS and BB... BB you can always go ahead because you can dodge or parry any surprise attack... DS you need to take your time looking around and going slow because if you are get by surprise there is no way to do anything.
DS = You are a small cat full of tension fearing everything... you have fear of the unknown.
BB = You are the big boss that moves forward killing anything that get in your front... you don't have any fear from the unknown.

Weird. I think DeS and DS are about as hard as BB.
Sekiro is by far the hardest though. Fuck your Isshin, you moustache wearing twat!

Never played Sekiro but looking at videos it looks like BB easy than DS hard.
You are ruler that can easy kill anything in your front just like BB.

Ohhh WOW, I am amazed! Like I have been on the scene since the 80s and I didn't know THAT! Of course in my post I wasn't talking about Sony's hardware Ray Tracing, absolutely not!
Thank you for showing me the way, oh excellent keyboard warrior!
