Sony’s kicking themselves for not making the sequel exclusive

At least they rectified that with Bloodborne

Tankbusta402422d ago

You'd think everyone on this site owned a large swath of Sony stock with all these biased statements....its kinda getting old.

generic-user-name2422d ago

Hows that biased? It's true.

They probably also kicked themselves for not buying Rockstar Games back when they had the chance to do so.

TekoIie2422d ago

Is there something wrong with analyzing companies decisions and evaluating what they should and shouldn't do?

You dont need to own stock in a company to have an interest in their business decisions.

ocelot072422d ago (Edited 2422d ago )

I don't understand your comment. Why are you moaning about PS4 fans being here? Should their be a limit or something? Also why are you complaining about it on a Demon's Souls topic? You know the game that was exclusive to the PS3!

starchild2422d ago

I think that what he is referring to is the attitude that it would be a good thing if it was exclusive. From Software has fans on multiple platforms and making it exclusive to only one of those platforms isn't really the best thing for gamers.

Silly gameAr2422d ago (Edited 2422d ago )

You guys are so sensitive when it comes to Sony. Anybody that comments or says something positive is a Sony fanboy that owns Sony stock. What does that make people in MS and Nintendo articles that do the same, I wonder?

drunkenspy0072422d ago

wow, I didn't really get that from the statement. people get really butthurt so easy these days.

SuperSonic912421d ago

PlayStation will always be groundbreaking when it comes to new game ideas.

Shiken2422d ago

I would rather see Bloodborne 2 over Demom Souls 2. I really liked the atmosphere im Bloodborne, far more than any Souls game. Also I really like the lovecraftian lore it follows.

My only real critisism is that they should have made the three factions more relevant than they did. So much wasted potential there IMO.

HeisenbergX2422d ago

@Shiken Me too man i am really hoping for a sequel casue Bloodborne was such a masterpiece..

IMO Dark Souls ain't got shit on Bloodborne

4U2NV2422d ago

I liked the dungeons and dragons feeling of demons souls over bloodbourne personally but both were amazing games.
Id love a demons souls ps4 remake though, and a bloodbourne sequel over demons souls sequel

2422d ago
Bleucrunch2422d ago

You are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo correct. Who ever made that decision should be fired. But Bloodborne is definitely a WONDERFUL substitute. That is one SEXY ass game.

Uken122422d ago

Dark Souls 3 is more of a Sequel to Demon's Souls than Dark Souls 1.

LgbtWarrior2422d ago (Edited 2422d ago )

I know. Even the bosses didn’t understand it at first. They kept dying and didn’t get it. Miscommunication on both parts. Glad more people experienced the game, but if it was exclusive, the game could have really shined on Sony’s console taking full advantage of the cell processor in PS3.

Nostalgia is a strong thing.

frostypants2422d ago (Edited 2422d ago )

Acknowledging the influence of Demon's Souls isn't nostalgia. It's an objective fact.

iofhua2422d ago

What's up with the servers? They say they're shutting them down on the 28th but I was on yesterday and couldn't see any messages or ghosts.

I wanted to play it one last time before it shuts down, so I was disappointed.

PhantomS422422d ago

Demon's Souls easily made its way into my top 5 favorite games of all time. Really hoping for a remaster of it for PS4 this year, not going to hold my breath though.

ocelot072422d ago

It's an IP I would like Sony to continue with. As well as Bloodborne.

darthv7215d ago

Sadly... no bloodborne on that list. I feel it may never be.

darthv7215d ago

Reading more about PS5 Pro Game Boost... it wasn't what I initially thought it was. I was thinking it would be like FPS Boost but it is specifically for resolution, not performance.

"PS5 Pro Game Boost Explained

Like the PS4 Pro, the PS5 Pro will also include a "Game Boost" mode that retroactively enhances older games on the console. This applies to PS4 games as well, utilizing PSSR upscaling to boost image quality. PS5 Pro's Game Boost will apply to more than 8,500 backward-compatible PS4 games on the console, improving their resolution. The feature will also apply to PS VR2 games, as revealed in CNET's hands-on preview of the console."

https://www.mensjournal.com...

MrNinosan15d ago

But the blog writes:

"Other enhancements include PS5 Pro Game Boost, which can apply to more than 8,500 backward compatible PS4 games playable on PS5 Pro. This feature may stabilize or improve the performance of supported PS4 and PS5 games."

Stabilize or improve the performance is what I read as framerates?

Profchaos15d ago

Boost modes can not break a frame rate cap something like bloodborne van be brute forced to maintain 30fps but never go above.

Best example of this is fallout 4 on PS4 when it's boost mode was enabled on the pro the game ran much better and maintained its 30 cap whereas before it would stutter and struggle.

darthv7215d ago

^^ "supported" being the key word. So things would be status quo as they are for performance but resolution improvements looks to be across the board.

Cacabunga14d ago

PS4 Pro was promoting the not yet released heavy hitter games at that time, like God of War, Horizon, Days Gone and of course improving VR quality experience. It just made sense..

PS5pro is flexing using last gen titles. Absolute joke.
First time ever a Sony console is an easy pass for me.

fr0sty14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

PSSR can upscale both frame rate and resolution. Being that PSSR works on the game after the engine renders the image, there is no reason why it couldn't generate extra frames as well as more pixels before sending it to the display.

BeRich23315d ago

They have to sell u a remaster first, and then a remake.

neutralgamer199215d ago

Did I read this right that some of the partners will release free updates so others might charge for it? This level of greed is getting absurd. Many games got paid next generation update so I guess now that’s a thing

northpaws15d ago

I think it was the same for PS4 Pro.

darthv7215d ago

I dont recall paying anything for an upgrade on the PS4 Pro. On PS5 I did buy into the Spider-man upgrade as well as Ghosts of Tsushima.

Tacoboto14d ago

There was never a PS4 Pro-Enhanced Premium Upgrade.

jznrpg15d ago

You make an assumption then get upset about the assumption. Just wait and see. So many people get upset so easily. Life is short try to enjoy it

neutralgamer199215d ago

No assumptions since Sony themselves said some partners meaning not all will release free updates. And we have already seen next generation updates cost money coming from PS4 to PS5

Yes you are right we should enjoy our hobby and I am not upset. Just really tired of all the greed that has entered this industry over the past 10-15 years. Just look at sports titles which have become mini casinos with all the micro transactions

Inverno15d ago

Gotta pay 10 bucks to enhance the 10 bucks you paid to enhance the 60 bucks you paid for a PS4 game. Whatchu wanna bet that this will lead up to a new 80 dollar price standard? Im almost entirely sure that GTA will be the game to set the higher price standard.

neutralgamer199215d ago

Oh yes that’s coming. You are being in the low end with $80. GTA6 could be the first game to do $99.99. Sell less make more. With budgets for games going to in 100’s of millions we will see the cost go higher. That’s just the sad reality. Way too many suits got involved with our hobby and realized this industry was making billions more than any other entertainment industry. And now it’s all about spreadsheets

Christopher15d ago

They can't dictate if they charge for it or not, sadly.

neutralgamer199215d ago

That’s true and whatever they know they charge for and get away with they will. This isn’t just about PlayStation that’s gaming in general

crazyCoconuts14d ago

@neutral - companies selling things to consumers that are willing to pay for them... Goes beyond gaming even

northpaws14d ago

Even if it is true, Sony has no right to dictate whether a third party would provide a update for free or not.

outsider162414d ago

Rdr2 comes to mind. So far Rockstar also hasn't releasedany 60fps patch. Are they gonna charge u for it i wonder?

rob-GP14d ago

I highly doubt you heard this, because its simply not true.

*If* you read or heard anything, it will have just been "some partners will release free updates that enable PS5 enhancements..." that's it. Then, you fabricated that if it's not free then it's a paid upgrade, when in reality they mean some will release patches and some won't - the same as last gen.

Retroman15d ago

In my personal opinion
I see NOOOOOOOOOO difference in graphics comparing it to regular PS5 graphics...I'll pass until PS6

jwillj2k415d ago

Thats because youre watching a 1080p compressed video curtesy of youtube.

TheKingKratos14d ago

I watched in 4k and didn't see shit .. Even in their own video they needed to 200% zoom in to notice something different in a Fking Draw distance lmao 😂😂
Only for 700

Neonridr14d ago

frame rate aside, you aren't really going to see much visual improvements. Unless you are like Mark going nuts because the foliage in the distance is a little more rendered.

Eidolon14d ago

I think they compared games, with PSSR that looked better and ran at 60fps vs 30fps on base PS5.

jwillj2k414d ago

@ TheKingKratos

The video was streamed at 1080p by sony. Doesnt matter what the youtube settings are.

sagapo14d ago

It’s a bit dumb by Sony to go into detail on gfx differences and stream the whole thing at 1080p don’t you think?
But I’m sure sites like DF will come with proper videos for that.

Juiceup14d ago

The only difference that will sell me is 60+ frame rate. If lots of new games will release running 60fr close to or equal to Fidelity mode like they are saying, it's probably worth it to me. But I detected a lot of 'business speak' bs in that 8 minute video. I honestly care very little about what it can do for games I've already played my fill of.

victorMaje15d ago

ZERO.
The number of physical games I own that are enhanced.

DiRtY14d ago

I didn’t watch the reveal, but expected ~100 games on that list. There are only 14 titles?

WTH were they thinking?

Zeke6814d ago

They said at least 50 titles at release in November, still not a huge number but a little better...

Zeke6813d ago

For the downvoter, troll your way over to Cnet and see what Sony said to them. ;)

EazyC14d ago

Perhaps a slower than anticipated long term release schedule forced them into playing their hardware hand

spiderman 2 $40 from $70 so it's priced right now as a expansion pack like MM.,

andy8557d ago

Pretty decent expansion pack then saying i got 30-40 hours out if it.

just_looken57d ago

I can get 30hours out of a job outside does not mean it was good.

But i know no matter what i post or prove people love there nerfed spiderman or playing as a blind person for 5 hours then mary jane shehulk for another 12hours.

I am so glad today's "gamer" was not around for the ps3/360 era these new gamers are way to easy to please and have killed gaming.

andy8557d ago

It was good though. Are you actually saying it wasn't a good game? And blind? The person you play as was deaf and it was 10 mins not 5 hours. Doesn't seem like you've even played it by that comment. And MJ was...30 mins at most? Not sure how you get 40 mins into 17 hours exactly

CobraKai56d ago

@just_looken

I’ve been playing since the Sega Master System. I love Spiderman 2. There’s too much going for it to be a simple expansion pack. I felt Miles Morales could fall into the expansion pack range.

If you didn’t like it, it’s fine. That’s what’s great about opinions, there are no wrong ones, just different ones.

StormSnooper56d ago

You guys have to understand, they don’t have anything even close to it on his preferred system. There is a whole psychology behind his comment.

pwnmaster300057d ago (Edited 57d ago )

lol I was in the ps3/360 era and spider man 2 would of been a massive hit still.

Please don’t try to represent us gamers from that time. You are not a good example, always complaining and being negative lol.

CobraKai56d ago

@just
I mean, it’s New York. You can’t exactly change the map.

It sounds like you’re hard to please vs gamers being easy to please. You mentioned great games. Games whose sequels had very similar gameplay with each other with very minimal changes or upgrades.

Im with pwnmaster. Don’t speak for us. It sounds like probably only started gaming from PS360 era.

Rebel_Scum57d ago

Peter Parker lives in New York, where else do you expect the map to be?

Using the same map/location is not a problem.

On topic: In my region the base game is $80. Still not low enough for me to dive in. Not that Im in a rush. Havent even finished the 1st one’s dlc yet.

just_looken57d ago

The map still has asset's buildings the the first game its like madden yeah same stadium but can you change that madden 14 logo?

Not to mention they never added shield basses basically unique interiors you can explore off missions or add in jersey.

pwnmaster300057d ago

Sony pony??
Are you a child? Lmao

Just stop man. It’s embarrassing.
We can like games and not be a fanboy.
Gaming shouldn’t be taken this serious. Relax lol

"lol I was in the ps3/360 era and spider man 2 would of been a massive hit still.

You come at me calling me a bad example talking like this game is gods gift to us and on any sony article you defend them no matter what.

But now i am a child? what because i used logic again this site you throw facts at people they cry to the admins to get me off here again or play the victim card.

pwnmaster300056d ago (Edited 56d ago )

Lmao gods gift to us what. I said it would have been a massive hit not a perfect game. It’s a good game get over it.

And this is why I said what I said.
“ But i know no matter what i post or prove people love there nerfed spiderman or playing as a blind person for 5 hours then mary jane shehulk for another 12hours.”

And you’re still proving me right. God forbid people like a certain game.
And BS about me on every sony article defending them. I like games and praised every games I

“ But now i am a child? what because i used logic again this site you throw facts at people they cry to the admins to get me off here again or play the victim card.”

Your opinions are not facts and the fact you think they are is sad. Step off video games for awhile.

just_looken56d ago

Na its fine you go ahead belive 200 million dollars makes sense for 1 game when 80 created a trilogy on 360.

I live without blinders unlike others.

pwnmaster300056d ago (Edited 56d ago )

“I live without blinders unlike others.“

How Dark Souls Remastered Was A Failure To Achieve Perfection

Dark Souls Remastered was an oppurtunity for to introduce a new audience to this astounding game, but it failed to rectify the flaws that the original had due to production issues.
