Modder dives into Demon’s Souls files following PS5 jailbreak, discovers Ring of the Chieftain

From Eurogamer: "Earlier this month, high-profile modder Lance McDonald announced that the PlayStation 5 had been "jailbroken".

Now, following the discovery of this jailbreaking exploit, McDonald has been rifling around in the files for both BluePoint's Demon's Souls remake and those of the elusive Abandoned from developer Blue Box Game Studio."

Some people have far too much time on their hands. Still it's good to see hackers....I mean modders doing something that doesn't get the FBI involved

Zhipp958d ago

It's kind of ironic to be making that kind of statement on a gaming forum.

HeliosHex958d ago

@zhipp. I don't see the irony, please explain.

rlow1958d ago

So the PS5 being jailbroken received zero traction on this site. But sad to see it had happened so soon. I guess consoles being PCs architecture, has made the job easier.

Storm23958d ago

At least it was an old firmware and the newest firmware is always required to play games online so they aren't going to get anywhere with cheats which causes huge problems on PC...

jeromeface958d ago

keep telling yourself that

fr0sty958d ago

@jeromeface they don't have to, there's years of experience, since the PS3 era, to go by. Every time a firmware gets cracked, a patch is never far off.

ABizzel1957d ago

The PS4 was also jailbroken early, so it's not a big issue until they can reverse engineer it, or get code running on it for offline play of games, which each take several more years.

Orchard957d ago

Yeah this is the first jailbreak article that has been approved.

Sony consoles are always hacked pretty quickly though, using a FreeBSD based OS doesn’t help. It’s usually that or third party components with CVE’s like WebKit etc.

It’s cool to see the data mining going on though.

Sgt_Slaughter957d ago

Meanwhile an entire article about Kotaku advocating for piracy on the Switch was approve pretty quickly.

Demon's Souls isn't Soulslike. It's the original Souls game. WTF? And Elden Ring?

Another Crab's Treasure simply is not.

All the journos claiming things are "Soulslike" simply don't know what that word means.

GeeEssEff106d ago

The term “Soulslike” has become ridiculously diluted. I have seen it used for games just because they are difficult.

Cacabunga105d ago

Reminds me of Doom like back in the days for every FPS game

blackblades105d ago (Edited 105d ago )

Yeah, souls, souls lite, souls like same goes for rogue.

anast105d ago

It's either AI or the writer doesn't know the subject matter.

robtion105d ago

I've played all of these bar the Crab one so not a very accurate title.

Goodguy01105d ago (Edited 105d ago )

Nioh 1+2 imo are the best souls clone. Love the melee combat and ki system, really hoping team ninja doesn't abandon the IP and continue with a new title, hell just give us your take on the western fantasy setting for a new nioh game.

robtion105d ago

Yes Nioh 2 in particular is great. Also Wo Long (which is basically Nioh 3).

qalpha105d ago

Should have included 'Lies of P'. Seriously fun game.

Nacho_Z105d ago

That's what I was going to say, great game. Best non From Soulslike I've played.

I see absolutely no difference with base performance mode..

MrWood199d ago

Well yeah it tells you the difference— 1440p vs 4k for 60fps. You have to watch the video in 4k to see the difference.

dantesparda200d ago (Edited 200d ago )

Wukong actually performs worst in performance mode, wtf!

And wheres the damn update for this game. They're still more work to be done.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH200d ago

I saw Zero noticeable difference when I played it on Pro. The only game I’ve seen significant difference in is FF7RB but now I get these stutters after the Pro update. I can safely say that if you don’t have a PS5 then getting the Pro is a no brainer but upgrading from PS5 to Pro is not a wise move as of now. Wait for better new games.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH199d ago

So you’re telling me that I DONT have a PS5 Pro and you’re telling me that I DONT have Demon’s Souls and you’re telling me that I DID in fact see a different in a game that according to you I don’t have? Im assuming you’re one of the lucky few who owns a Pro saw a major Difference in Demon’s Souls right?

This list has nine games....

And if these are the "hardest", that's a bit alarming because I'm pretty average and I've managed to 100% more than a third of this list (Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Hard Corps Uprising, and Catherine).
