Piss and moan all you want about either console but from a pure gamers point of view both look bloody awsome. Day one on both with these line ups

...Just dont tell the missus.

I told her you want a sexbox. She's gonna pitch a fit now.

 

[iconmaster]

I assumed that was filler, does it actually mean something?

It's filler.

 

[Trogdor1123]

It's filler.

One of those missed jokes I guess haha.

Still, gimme More demon's souls!

 

[The Cartographer]

Awful cover for Demon's Souls.
That's a bizarre interpretation of the Castle of Boletaria.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

I told her you want a sexbox. She's gonna pitch a fit now.

Crap. I'd best get packing

 

[Saber]

DS looks cool, although shallow in comparison with the original box art.

They should aim for that.

 

[nemiroff]

While not as "artsy", that Demon's Soul cover makes me want to play it right now..

 

[teezzy]

what's a Returnal?

 

[cyber_ninja]

Looks nice and clean.

 

[Alebrije]

Are those covers real or just concept art????

 

[MrS]

Those Souls screens are incredible. Game is gonna be so good. Gonna be a system seller if it’s a launch game.

 

[The Pleasure]

Crap. I'd best get packing

Tell her she's your sexbox. And her name is Sony.

 

[iHaunter]

god damn that returnal cover looks HIDEOUS

If GT7 is at the launch window i will pick up a ps5

I think it looks fine.

 

[TranscendentDee]

are people not reading the "Art Not Final" on the box covers?

 

[Belmonte]

I don't know. The "art not final" part is too distracting. Hope they take it out when the game releases.

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

Man I really like this one

The frontgate of Boletaria Palace

Where all the epic journey begins

I hope they keep it in the final version

Waiting for the broken archstone to be fixed this time

I don't like how much darker everything seems from the original. Boletaria is supposed to be an overcast gray. This color scheme seems closer to Dark Souls III, which was closer to Bloodborne.

 

[Astral Dog]

That Demon Souls boxart looks fantastic flashy but not tacky

 

[Red Rackham's Revenge]

You forgot this one

 

[Danjin44]

Really, really don't like the new designs...

To me its looks like type of designs you would see in Doom or Diablo.

 

[Knitted Knight]

They all look great to me. Hopefully those box arts are indeed real.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

Hope they go with something wildly different than that for Demons Souls. It makes me think of Castlevania: SotN’s NA cover of the castle itself - LAME. The one with Alucard on the front had great style and does a lot mor for the game. I would be happy with a new take on the original PS3 cover or something ethereal.

 

[decisions]

If Demon's Souls is a launch title I will become absolutely fierce in getting a launch PS5...

 

[Dargor]

Damn, those demons souls shots are way too good. The armor details are very neat.

 

[pixelation]

Sackboy's cover art is so cute.

 

[Arachnid]

Demons Souls > Bloodborne

But yeah, holy SHIT I'm hyped

 

[KonstructReborn]

Is Destruction All-stars online focused or will it have some bot mode similar to Twisted Metal? I think that game will be cool but I still want to be able to play it once it's online life cycle has passed.

Returnal box art looks great. GT7 bringing me some nostalgic vibes.

 

[Barakov]

It's part of a trend:

oof. That's a whole lot of ugly in one picture.

 

[TheMan]

Wow, I pegged gt7 for 2021 or 2022 given PDs rep, but I’d be glad to be wrong.

 

[MasterCornholio]

So this is the power of Snoy.

She looks constipated.

 

[Tesseract]

demon looks great

 

[nordique]

Screw the 10TF haters, these games look stunning!!

 

[Yoboman]

Man I really like this one

The frontgate of Boletaria Palace

Where all the epic journey begins

I hope they keep it in the final version

Waiting for the broken archstone to be fixed this time

Umbasa

Im just so hyped for a version of Demons Souls that doesn't run at 20 FPS

 

[Raonak]

it's happening isn't it?

 

[Yoboman]

Overcast is generally the ugliest time of day for lighting in games

Not surprised they steered away from that or we would all be saying how ugly it looks

 

[Captain Hero]

I had no Brienne of Tarth got the lead role in Returnal.

yeah lol .. I was like “ this girl reminds me of someone “

 

[Vtecomega]

Is Demon Souls a remake using new animations and assets? Or just a remaster with prettier graphics of the original?

Gotta disagree. Demon's Souls had more of a gray/yellow/orange theme to its color palette, as opposed to Bloodborne and Dark Souls III's black/blue. It makes more sense thematically since the Souls games are darker, focusing on the theme of the cursed world. Demon's Souls is more like limbo: it's not dark or light (which makes sense given the tendency system and Nexus), and it's not as hopeless as the worlds of Dark Souls or Bloodborne.

We'll see how the finished product turns out, though. It may just be these few pictures.

My bigger issue is the enemy/boss designs, I hate how made them look like Diablo/Doom monsters. My biggest reason I was attracted to FROM games is their art direction, I don't give rat ass about expensive graphics if means losing FROM's brilliant designs.

^^^ This fucking sucks!!! at this point I rather just wait for Elden Ring.

 

[Azurro]

So this is the power of Snoy.

Hey, I want to play my angry, middle aged, ugly lesbian simulator thank you very much.

I love the fact that Demon's Souls seems to be coming at launch, don't give a damn what the box looks like, I'm hyped about that.

 

[Azurro]

Really, really don't like the new designs...

To me its looks like type of designs you would see in Doom or Diablo.

I kinda get it, but the original monster looks goofy as fuck though. It's a remake, it will try to retain the original's spirits but it will be different by necessity. I'd advice you to accept the game for what it is, if you want an HD version of DS, there are PS3 emulators for that.

Not hard to google but see for yourself.

I highly disagree, I LOVE FROM’s enemy/boss designs they are the highlight of Souls games for me. I don’t like Bluepoint changing design to crappy doom/diablo monsters.

If you played enough games you can easily tell difference between Japanese design and western design even without “anime” aesthetics. These new designs scream crappy western design monsters.

Yeah, I definitely noticed that, too.

It's cool if you loved that original monster design, but it still looked goofy as fuck. Even in the remake it can't completely shake the goofyness of the original.

Sony Japan Studio is very involved in the remake as well, so you don't know what comes from Japan Studio and what comes from Bluepoint.

Honestly, you complained about this so much, I think you are just hypersensitive because it's not a 100% Japanese production and you are a weeaboo, desu ne.

Call me “weebo” all you want I couldn’t care less but those new enemy designs are western, anybody can see that.

Notto disu shittu again. Then remember the original still exists and go play that again. Baka hentai.

 

[DavidGzz]

Man, you know when Brienne is at least twice as hot they are going out of their way to make females ugly in games.

 

[Stiflers Mom]

I had no Brienne of Tarth got the lead role in Returnal.

I thought that's the blonde horseface from Desperate Housewifes.

 

[Knitted Knight]

I thought that's the blonde horseface from Desperate Housewifes.

Hotter than Stiflers Mom... fine figure. If anyone actually pays close attention to the trailer, a lot went into her bootie physics on that spacesuit. Boxart clearly going for that Alien's Ripley atmosphere. On point in my opinion.

SJW's call her a Karen, alt bois bitch it's a milf female and not a doll nymph. Culture wars indeed.
