Learn to do even a modicum of research. That article says it reached 1.4 million by September 2021. Demon's Souls wasn't added to PSN until after May 2022. Pull your head out of your ass and stop stroking your massive hate-boner for Sony.

I will never forget when sony tried to make fricking DEMON'S SOULS into a mega budget system-selling blockbuster going for $80 per copy and with a deluxe edition with unique armor sets for $100
>I will never forget
I will never forget FS sold dark soul remaster without noticeable improvement, while dark souls praised its behavior. FS franchise doesn't deserve this remake, while I am glad they move on and learnt from their mistake.
Actually fromsoft had nothing to do with dark souls demastered, that was bamco telling qloc to make a cheap cashgrab so they could rake in some money in a dead year
What makes it even more funny is how Sony treated the original DeS, declining to even release it in the west resulting in Atlus stepping in to reply to community demands
These current gen consoles are not worth the price as there's so few current gen games worth playing. Its not like the PS3/360/Wii generation where there was constant games coming out. There's no real point buying them until probably 2025 or something.
this plus the egregious art style and sound choices. honestly I would have enjoyed the game if I could switch the style on the fly ala halo or d2r. when remaster don't do this it means developers too chickenshit to own their changes.
took me 3 years and getting it secondhand so sony didn't get my money for it and I still regret it. hearing the originals sounds in my head as I was playing just made it worse.
because Bluepoint is the literal localizer studio, all that complex that you hear about in shit like tendie Treehouse but concentrated to an insane degree, because their entire existence and purpose is to be lesser imitations of Japanese masterpieces. In an industry rife with failure, they are the lowest of the low, relegated to making popcorn flick remakes of auteur pieces, literal bottom feeders.
The spec of dirt on Ueda's shoe is worth more than their entire studio and they know it and they fricking hate it.
Unlike some other people, I don't even get mad at what they do to these games. Watching them spit out manifestation after manifestation of their inferiority complex like a bunch of whiny children is more than enough to satisfy me.
These games sell the most on pc, not on fifabox 5. Sonys problem for not realizing that by now tho, continue leaving elden ring 20 million sales on the table while you chase deadend live service trash rofl
what's so appalling about this redesign? I agree Bluepoint was sloppy in general but oldgays will autistically screech at anything that's not a 1:1 remake.
>make only a handful of consoles >allow scalpers to charge thousands of dollars for said console >people on waitlist for literal years >have basically no exclusives so the only people buying are fricking morons >can just buy a PS3 for maybe $100 to play the original
>no hype >slow PS5 sales >scalpers >Game came out in 2009 already >Base game wasn't very good
There's many reasons, honestly they did a fine job with the graphics but the art direction took a hit, I think as per usual it's the ps5 exclusivity shafting the sales, unironically same as FFXVI
souls games have to been published by BANDAI NAMCO otherwise, the results looks midcore at best. I really don't understand why /v want Souls games on PS, while PC is always their home.
>base game wasn't very good
I'd argue otherwise but with the demake people who would have argued otherwise were too busy arguing against the design changes, up until the release and beyond I never saw anyone try and promote Demon's Souls as a game the shills just argued that the bluepoint changes looked good and good looks alone isn't going to sell ps5s when people are convinced it's worse than dark souls.
It was good but compared to the original dark souls it was janky, and that's saying something when DS itself is janky
Never claimed the game was bad though, it does a lot of things right
>Compared to the original Dark Souls it was janky
This is what I don't get, if anything Dark Souls is even more janky which is only a given due to its shorter dev cycle and if you count the 1.0 version which I played on release it was even worse. There's nothing wrong with liking Dark Souls more it's perfectly fine but some opinions especially in contrast to Demon's Souls baffle me, people need to go back and take a better look at the game.
One thing I'd say Demon's Souls is more janky about though is how it handles lagstabs, since it handles damage calculation the instant the animation starts if you get caught during a roll it leads to 0 damage despite going through the backstab animation while in Dark Souls the damage is dealt mid animation and if you get caught rolling you get the full damage. It's one of the reasons why backstabs dominates the meta in Dark Souls while backstab fishing was far less prevalent in Demon's Souls.
Its not hard to make it look good, they basically romhacked the original engine and just swapped assets
Of course you can make assets look really good with the tiny linear corridors des has for levels. There arent even connect collisions, every map is just a level so the draw distance isnt even pushed much.
Also the game had pc and ps4 configurations in its dumped data structure so it was never made from
The ground up for ps5, they just killed the ps4 port to make it look more impressive as a PS5 launch game.
But basically i dont see the big hype. They arent doing anything fancy technically. There are high detail assets with nearly no visible lod transitions but again that isnt hard when the entirety of demons souls levels is half the size of elden rings limgrave. Fromsofts latest game is like two generations ahead of where demons souls is at. No shit you can make it look good. You can make sekiro look like a nextgen game too with a level editor rn if you know what youre doing. That is essentially what they did, romhack the original and call it ‘reversing’
>Miss a billionaire opportunity with FromSoft and Dark Souls by passing on this game thinking it was shit and lose the publishing rights to Bandai Namco >Go back to FromSoft and ask for an exclusive >Bloodborne sells like shit. >"Well, now that the souls games are much more marketable, how about we remake that one we passed on?" >Still sells like shit.
It's just funny at this point. Why don't they sell as much as Dark Souls? Is it the exclusivity?
Since the PS1 sony has consistently sold Gran Turismo and Final Fantasy but for some reason even these games aren't carrying the console anymore. I imagine their next console will be a handheld.
Sony machines have always been Call of duty and fifa machines. The 1st party exclusives sony makes never sell as much as the 3rd party games. They are like the opposite of Nintendo.
>one of the console's flagship games
that would be Last of Us, Spider Man, God of War, Ghost of Tsushima and maybe Horizon, even if shilled
Demon's Souls is on the same level as Returnal, and even that game felt more popular
>all i ever wanted was a fully realized giant's archstone >we are actually getting a remake >it's bluepoint >it's exactly as bad as it sounded
well that's fricking gay
I'm not really interested in playing remakes unless they are basically completely new different games from the originals like RE2 and 4 remake and FF7 remake. Demons Souls Remake is really just a big visual change but its still mostly the same as the og PS3 game which I already played.
Yes. It is a different game. Demons Souls Remake is just a visual thing. 4 remake has the story and characters different and the areas you go to. I'm not really interested in playing remakes that are just a visual change as its effectively just replaying the exact same game again whereas playing RE4 and RE4 remake is a different experience.
bloodborne does not sell 500K neither
bloodborne sold 6 million units pre psplus release
it had been on PS plus. That is why you saw a big leap in 2018.
I can't use this website anymore because of literal morons like this
PSPlus is as much of a "buy" as Gamepass. Japan Studio still got shuttered.
Weird brag

Hello, English teacher. Player count doesn't represent the sale number.
Wow, you sure did like to tout the 20 million copies sold for elden ring though
Fricking normalgay

can i play this on my astro's playroom simulator?

you can bet that it only reached a million after it was released on psn essential list. meaning the game is semi free for those who pay for ps plus.

It's right there in the screenshot you fricking moron
>PS5 exclusive
Then how did I play Demon's Souls on my PC last year?
Is this a permanent game on PS Plus extra? When I get a PS5 next year for FF7 rebirth I intend to sub for 1 month to play this and Ratchet and Clank.
I think so. It never leaves from PS Plus extra
Snoys hate real video games.
Meanwhile the over-the-shoulder walking cinematic experience such as TLOU and GOW sell millions.
Not even that. Most Playstation owners are hispanics and yuros who only play FIFA and CoD.
Together those two make up the entire playstation base.
>only available to PlayStationheads who definitely owned a ps3
>doesn't sell much to an audience who already played the game a decade ago
demake
I will never forget when sony tried to make fricking DEMON'S SOULS into a mega budget system-selling blockbuster going for $80 per copy and with a deluxe edition with unique armor sets for $100
>I will never forget

the real crime was delisting PtD edition
It was Bamco, not Fromsoft aniki
Actually fromsoft had nothing to do with dark souls demastered, that was bamco telling qloc to make a cheap cashgrab so they could rake in some money in a dead year
What makes it even more funny is how Sony treated the original DeS, declining to even release it in the west resulting in Atlus stepping in to reply to community demands
should have named it dark souls origins: demons souls
then it would have sold 90 bazillion copies
These current gen consoles are not worth the price as there's so few current gen games worth playing. Its not like the PS3/360/Wii generation where there was constant games coming out. There's no real point buying them until probably 2025 or something.
but it sold more than 1 million copies
The original game isn't "westernised" leftist propaganda; you're better off playing that.
this plus the egregious art style and sound choices. honestly I would have enjoyed the game if I could switch the style on the fly ala halo or d2r. when remaster don't do this it means developers too chickenshit to own their changes.
took me 3 years and getting it secondhand so sony didn't get my money for it and I still regret it. hearing the originals sounds in my head as I was playing just made it worse.
kys /misc/cuck
this. the original even manages to look better since its atmosphere is intact.
wtf. why did they do this nonsense? why not just make a 1:1 faithful remake?
It's cultural graffiti. Sony's US division has always despised JP.
americans dont understand art
>maiden in black is a dirty deadpool now
fricking japs and their bants
>"The god is in the details" (Japanese saying)
now that's quite a cultural difference

They'll port it to PC. This and Tsushima are the only games on the Nvidia leak list that have yet to come out.
but CEO is gone and the plan is still valid?
I doubt the new CEO is going to just bust in and nuke their entire PC division overnight.
If you followed their recent releases, the sale looks very poor. if their profit gets squeezed, I am not surprised it ended earlier.
Honestly their fault for releasing movie games not many people wanted instead of movie games people actually wanted (+bb)
Sony want to sell PS as well as big TV and high-end audio system, while PC players aren't their target audience.
It was actually worth the money for this game alone, kek. Being able to play Elden Ring with zero loading times was just a nice bonus on top of that.
>It was actually worth the money for this game alone
good goy
what's so appalling about this redesign? I agree Bluepoint was sloppy in general but oldgays will autistically screech at anything that's not a 1:1 remake.
The game shouldn't have been remade in the first place, and then on top of that the remake looks fricking ugly, it's pretty simple.
>STOP ENJOYING THINGS I DONT LIKE!!!!
These both look like Oblivion NPCs.
Which is ps3 and which ps5?
I played Elden Ring on my cheap laptop and there was no load times
>make only a handful of consoles
>allow scalpers to charge thousands of dollars for said console
>people on waitlist for literal years

It's on PS3 doe.
this atrocity doesn't deserve even that
it literally makes me angry looking at this...ARGH!!!
if this was bluepoints intention, well they managed to achieve it for I am disgusted and mad.
>I'm mad because they changed a game I'm not forced to play
>Diablo 4
There is nothing in Diablo 4 that looks or feels anything near Demon's Soul Remake.
Many of these changes I actually prefer the new one.

It's just funny at this point. Why don't they sell as much as Dark Souls? Is it the exclusivity?
Well that’s just bullshit
This casts doubt on how much the PS5 has sold. It's one of the console's flagship games and everyone is crazy to buy it.
no one gives 2 fricks about flagships. its a sports games and call of duty machine
Since the PS1 sony has consistently sold Gran Turismo and Final Fantasy but for some reason even these games aren't carrying the console anymore. I imagine their next console will be a handheld.
Sony machines have always been Call of duty and fifa machines. The 1st party exclusives sony makes never sell as much as the 3rd party games. They are like the opposite of Nintendo.
>one of the console's flagship games
that would be Last of Us, Spider Man, God of War, Ghost of Tsushima and maybe Horizon, even if shilled
Demon's Souls is on the same level as Returnal, and even that game felt more popular
kabonging morons in Latria was so much fun. too bad about the soundtrack
I enjoy this game more now that I know it makes poors and puristgays screech in pain
>all i ever wanted was a fully realized giant's archstone
>we are actually getting a remake
>it's bluepoint

It was a fantastic remake though.
I'm not really interested in playing remakes unless they are basically completely new different games from the originals like RE2 and 4 remake and FF7 remake. Demons Souls Remake is really just a big visual change but its still mostly the same as the og PS3 game which I already played.
4remake different from the originals
Yes. It is a different game. Demons Souls Remake is just a visual thing. 4 remake has the story and characters different and the areas you go to. I'm not really interested in playing remakes that are just a visual change as its effectively just replaying the exact same game again whereas playing RE4 and RE4 remake is a different experience.
Wheres the slim? The Microsoft court case thing said the slim would be out this year.
>no inventory weight
you didn't beat demon's souls
I played it on PS3 but used the exploit to farm items
It sold over 1.5m copies by September of 2021. Safe to say it's at 3m now.
>implying it kept momentum
