It could be a very special holiday season for fans of the PS3 RPG Demon's Souls. Sony teased some sort of announcement earlier today.

I don't think it's a new game. The announcement is probably for a Pure White World Tendency Event.

Noctis Aftermath5242d ago

Dear Santa,

Please give me some DLC for Demons Souls for Christmas and not some stupid option to play the game on easy which is not needed.

guitarded775242d ago

@MoreCakePlease

I was thinking the same thing since the did pure black for Halloween.

Pennywise5242d ago

It is most likely a EU date.

Timesplitter145242d ago

Oh please god let it be this.

I want my wizard robes in 3-1!

lordgodalming5242d ago

PW WT would be a nice gift, as you can change your PS3 to October 31 and get PB WT anytime now. This would negate some of the problems with the tendency getting buggered up when you play online.

Halfway through NG+ and loving every minute.

specialguest5242d ago (Edited 5242d ago )

Dear Santa,

Please give me the strength to destroy these soul-hungry black phantom invaders.

Myst5242d ago

Yeah it's pure white world tendency because of this:

""Heroes of Boletaria, take heart: rumor has it the Old One's power will falter in the days following the winter solstice"

On Halloween it said his strength grew or something like that, therefore if it falters it means everything will be pure white or at least close to pure white, then when you beat a boss or something it will be pure white. The wording basically gives it away.

fallingdove5242d ago

@ lordgodalming

WHHHAAT? Change the PS3 to October 31st and get PB or PW? What is this magic you speak of?

WildArmed5242d ago (Edited 5242d ago )

considering the jap version of the game has been out since '08.. i dont expect any big news other than an event for WT.
Which is fine. I love DS ;)
that event might incline me to finish up my NG++++++ that i've been slacking up on.
LBP, Uncharted 2, GoW3 demo and BC2 beta have been taking up all my time
(yes.. i've clocked about 40 hours into the GoW3 demo by now =/ )

JoySticksFTW5242d ago

but really, I'm hoping for that broken archstone to be fixed for some DLC

I think it was mentioned by some gamers here that the archstone could lead to 'The Land of Giants' mentioned in the storyline

aww yeah...

lordgodalming5241d ago

@1.9

For awhile after Halloween you were supposed to be able to just manually change the date in your PS3 to October 31 and get the Pure Black World Tendency. I've just tried this right now and it did not work for me. I guess they've turned that particular cheat off like they did with the infinite souls glitch.

Sorry to have confused everyone. You may hurl rotten fruit at me if you wish.

rockleex5241d ago (Edited 5241d ago )

Shadow of the Colossus!! :D

They should also add snow for the pure white world tendency holiday event.

Snow is white... if you didn't know.

BEST RPG GAME OF THE YEAR ONLY ON PS3.

SUCK HARD BOTS.

TheBand1t5242d ago

I hope it's DLC that unlocks the 6th archstone.

The_Firestarter5242d ago

That's exactly what has been driving me absolutely crazy! I want to know what the 6th world looks like! They need to AT LEAST make it into DLC. I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Pain5242d ago

A hole new form of "getting your Butt kicked" I hope its the land of the Giants that would be PURE insanity.

WildArmed5242d ago (Edited 5242d ago )

simple... to play the 6th archstone insert Shadow of the Colossus into your Backward compatible ps3, if you do not have one, one will not be provided for you. please insert Shadow of the Colossus into your ps2. If you do not have one, one will not be provided to you.
lol
Shadow of the Colossus was equally epic as Demon's souls :)

EDIT
@BELOW
they mean the broken stone located right after the 3rd archstone (the Tower of Lataria) The valley of the giants

Sangria5242d ago

Isn't the 6th Archstone the final stage?

The_Firestarter5242d ago (Edited 5242d ago )

No. The 5 playable worlds are:

1. Boletarian Palace
2. Stonefang Tunnels
3. Tower of Latria
4. Shrine of Storms
5. Valley of Defilement

There's a sixth archstone that's next to the Tower of Latria archstone and smashed into rubble. You can see this also in the world/character tendency map. The sixth archstone represents a world that has never been seen, obviously.

Sangria5242d ago

Yes, but once you completed each ones and killed the False King, Maiden in Black gives you access to the Archstone of the Old One. That's the one I'm talking about.

Omega Zues5242d ago

It looks to be pure white WT. Shame, I was really hoping for some DLC.

TheBand1t5242d ago

I hope it's not, since I only play in Pure White almost 24/7.

Nikuma5242d ago

A DLC with a new land to explore would be tit.

Myst5242d ago

Yeah I wouldn't mind if they brought land of the giants back, but after visiting their forums with at least a 4 page thread about DLC and most people asking for it. It's not looking to good..

WildArmed5242d ago

Japan would have got that DLC awhile ago.
It did come out in japan a year before US. And considering Software is a japan based dev team, they dont really believe in DLC. So it's tough love from japan.
Famitsu would have announced something by now

calis5242d ago

Get it from play-asia like I did. I live in Australia. It's cheaper too.

The best PS5 exclusives 2024

With so many PS5 exclusives to choose from, it can be a little overwhelming to pick which one to play. This is especially true for a new PlayStation gamer who has yet to experience the wonder of PlayStation-exclusive storytelling. So, here's KnowTechie's take on the best PS5 exclusives in 2024 and beyond

PlayStation is killing it with the exclusives this year. Exclusive wise, what has xbox released this year?

VersusDMC4d ago

They won't complain about Microsoft not releasing games here but put all their effort into saying that only first party counts. Games like Rebirth and Grandblue Relink don't count. Games published by Sony like Helldivers 2, Stellar Blade and Rise of the Ronin don't count because Sony don't own the studios.

It's some narrative building so for when Hellblade 2 come out they can say, seemingly without shame, that Microsoft is actually releasing first party games this year. And claim victory.🙃

Chevalier4d ago

Weird 1st party games didn't matter when Xbox had so little, but, now they're important again? Guess Ark 3, Stalker 2 don't count any more?

KyRo4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

ARK 3 doesn't exist and it's just a timed exclusive. It's also a game that a majority of the ARK player base doesn't want as it's a massive deviation from what people like about the original game

Abnor_Mal4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Honestly to me it doesn’t matter what they say, they are just finally getting a chance to say all the things PS fan(boy)s were saying to them for the past few years. Let them get that, they deserve a “win” for a change.

The new narrative is that suddenly first party games matter again when awhile ago they didn’t, but that was because they were struggling with the same three games with the occasional fourth or fifth. That games should be everywhere on all platforms since that’s whats happening to theirs. The consoles don’t matter just the ability to play anywhere. Whatever Xbox is doing Sony will soon follow.

They’re not moving the goalpost anymore, but rather just moving the whole damn stadium.

jwillj2k44d ago

Only a incel would care about who published what and who owns who.

If it’s not on the other consoles it’s an exclusive.

Killing what? Where are the 1st party games??
Stellar Blade and FF7 is what I’m seeing this year.. so shallow!!!!

andy854d ago

Doesn't really matter as long as they're great games. Baffles me why people put an emphasis on 1st party. They're still games you can't play anywhere else this year

Cacabunga3d ago

Andy

PS brand is my favorite because of their stellar first party software.. currently I see absolutely nothing to go crazy for..

CS73d ago

Nonsense.

PS1 and PS2 was built on great third party exclusives like FF, MGS, GTA & Tekken.

RonnySins4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Killing it my a$$! The 1st party is still MIA and no... Remakes and remasters don't count.

andy854d ago

I mean they literally do count. Imagine saying FF7 Rebirth doesn't count 😂

Tody_ZA3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

@Andy85 Don't forget the remakes for Demon's Souls and Shadow of the Colossus, two of the best PlayStation games around!

And beyond PlayStation, what about Resident Evil 2 and 4? RonnySins wins the award for dumbest opinion!

raWfodog4d ago

Of course I love the games I’ve played from PS but I don’t believe we need to limit it to ‘exclusive’ to acknowledge that Xbox will be releasing some good games this year also. In that same vein, I believe that Xbox diehards shouldn’t limit their acknowledgment of good PS games to 1st party. There are plenty of good games to go around for everybody.

Tacoboto3d ago

This is a Playstation article about Playstation games and your comment is about Xbox. Can't you just celebrate what PS has without dragging this into console war BS?

ChasterMies3d ago

I don’t think Microsoft is releasing games exclusively on Xbox anymore. They have some timed exclusives that release on Xbox first.

Returnal, Astro Bot, and Ratchet made having it since day one worth it.

GT7 free updates and Spiderman 2 and others at 60fps have made this last year more than okay.

But yeah, it’s been dry lately. BG3 and third party have made great filler, but we ready for that SOCOM or Killzone announcement and some more 1st party goodness. Crossing fingers for Ghost of Tsushima 2 announcement this summer.

Didn’t know Helldivers was exclusive! Wtf is going on at Xbox that they can’t get these games, series s strikes again.

SonyStyled3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Sony owns the Helldivers IP. The first was a PS3/Vita/PC game. It was never an Xbox game that they could ‘get’ a decade ago. I’m not sure what the upset is with Xbox here

CS73d ago

Lol, how do you ignore Rebirth one of the best games ever made?

anast3d ago

Looks like they are on par with the previous gens. Solid games all around. Interestingly enough, we can't say they released a bad game yet this gen. Unlike the Quiet Man dustup.

I actually do not mind if Marathon releases on multiple platforms . I just wish that Marathon has a dedicated single player campaign.

DaniMacYo3d ago

Helldivers 2 is exactly what gaming needed. I’m loving it.

The 7 Best Co-op Games on PS5

There's no better way to enjoy your PS5 than with friends, so here's our picks of the best co-op games on the console.

Cacabunga96d ago

For coop, get a used switch instead

jznrpg96d ago

I own a Switch and have never played co-op on it. I do play Elden Ring , Demons Souls and some other co/op games with my friends on PS5. Baldurs Gate 3 is the next game I’ll play co-op. Can’t do that on a Switch

Cacabunga96d ago

I was thinking for couch casual immediate fun.. not online coop games that require some adaptation.
