Daniel Tack - "We chat with Demon's Souls creative director Gavin Moore for details about the upcoming remake on PlayStation 5."
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?
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.🙃
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?
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
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.
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!!!!
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

PS brand is my favorite because of their stellar first party software.. currently I see absolutely nothing to go crazy for..
Nonsense.
PS1 and PS2 was built on great third party exclusives like FF, MGS, GTA & Tekken.

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.
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?
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.
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
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.

You might not be able to believe this, but Dark Souls is a pretty tricky game on the PlayStation 3.
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.
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
I was thinking for couch casual immediate fun.. not online coop games that require some adaptation.
Copied this from one of the youtube comments. Might help people go to something they want to find out a bit faster.
- 1:03 From Software has not been involved within the production of the game, staying true to the original vision
- 1:39 The core gameplay, logic and AI remains unchanged, player speed remains the same with only animations changes
- 4:01 Camera can be changed in options between the old, classic Souls-like camera or the new cinematic camera show in trailers
- 4:10 No difficulty options
- 4:55 Option between native 4k (30 FPS) or dynamic 4K (60FPS), although the game maybe slightly easier in dynamic 4K due to the higher frames
- 6:35 Synchronised multiplayer, you can have up to two allies against three invaders
- 6:52 World Tendency remains unchanged, new UI allows the player to easily discern their world tendency. (If online, world tendency is affected by the metadata of all players that are online).
- 7:45 Old Monk remains unchaged
- 8:16 There is no loading times thanks to the PS5's SSD
- 9:24 Friendly NPCs you have attacked will now calm down after a certain period of time
- 10:00 There are no plans to add the Sixth Archstone World
- 10:29 Fractured Mode - Fractured World, the world is mirrored
- 11:17 New Game Plus exists, gallery/concept art unlocks, in-depth photo mode added (built upon Shadow of Colossus system), you are taken out of photo mode during invasion
- 16:16 Magic doesn't seem to have changed
- 19:38 Grass system remains within the game
- 20:15 Haptic Feedback and Adaptive Trigger are integrated within Demon's Souls, said to enhance gameplay
- 23:55 Character creator has been improved, thousands of new permutations have been added
No new Archstone unfortunately, he says he didn't feel it was their right to do a new world however fractured mode is basically a hardcore mirror mode apparently that you can select, even something you'll want to face while going into New Game +
Oh god i still don't know if i should get that game on launch or not. I never played Demon's Souls, never finished darksouls 2 and 3, but i was absolutely addicted to bloodborne which i even did 100% trophies for the main game and the old hunters addon and like 9 ng+ runs back to back
Now i i'm undecided to buy this. On one side i feel like i don't want a launch game i have to put in actual work to complete or that even might be too hard so i will never beat it, on the other side i miss that feel of accomplishment when beating bosses after i failed many times.
This is the first game I will play (and hopefully beat 🤞) when I get my ps5.
Can you imagine if sony bought bluepoint to remake all ps2 classics like dmc1 or even the original gow or go farther back and remake legend of dragoon?
