Makes sense. WD Legion is 1440p upscaled on XSX (correct?) with raytracing and 30fps. But a actual next gen game, but on inferior hardware would have RT with 1440p and 60fps?
But perhaps this comparison by me is a little wrong since WDL is a open world game too.
"When we started development we didnāt know there would be ray tracing in the game, so it wasnāt in our original vision. What we wanted to focus on was the settings and the look of the characters. Everything is lighting in real time with shadows in real timeā, were the words of Moore.
Hmmā¦they didnāt know there would be RT huh? even if the game started development with no plans from Sony to have an RT accelerated GPU on the PS5 (which is weird) you would think that Sony at some point shouldāve updated the dev kits/tools that Bluepoint had access to with the latest specs targets especially for a 1st party title like Demonās Souls (that supposedly Sony Japan Studio is co-developing). 
So assuming the game runs at Bluepointās proprietary engine (which also runs and looks great on the PS4/PS4 Pro as seen by the SotC remake) this game probably started development as a PS4 title and then became a PS5 only game or there is already a PS4/Pro version up and running in some drawer and waiting to get announced like Miles Morales, Sackboy and Horizon Dawn 2. 
There could be other differences like the RT resolution, at to which extent they are applied, lod version used in the reflections. And so on.
Spiderman for example takes a toll on those so the game resolution is higher.
On top of that it may be that WD is more demanding than Demons Souls even without RT, the game benchmarks for the game is showing itās very resource hog (Not without reason, it seems to have really dense environments)
Just another news on Demonās Souls.
Resolution was upped. It is not 1440p anymore.
Good news ! As I said before, 1800p60 would be perfect.
Iām a little jealous itās not on Xbox. The game is gorgeous.
Who is this? The tweet sounds like he is just going from the PR (which I think says itās dynamic 4k in the performance mode)
I think heās a big name in the Souls community and heās done stuff like restoring cut content and that unofficial 60fps Bloodborne patch. Not 100% on that though, since thatās not a series Iām interested in. I wouldnāt ascribe any authority to him but Iād assume that he knows more than some rando.
If the game had RT I could understand 1440p, but it doesnāt. So 1800p with 60fps would be great indeed.
Sony owns the IP. But the next generation Dark Souls could look as good. Iām just glad my son is getting it, so I can play it without buying a PS5
