I believe you can but if you use the Dual Shock 4 with the PS5 it’ll only work with PS4 games, you have to have the DualSense to play PS5 games.
Is demon souls a Ps5 exclusive forever or timed? Does Sony own the IP?
If it it only timed how long? Sony is really deceptive about timed exclusivity.
Sony does own the IP. As of now, it’s PS5 exclusive only but im expecting it to go on PC at the very least. PS4 is possible but unlikely at this point.

Well that’s what I though. But the trailer Durring the show said something like coming to other consoles later or Something at the bottom. That means that PS4 later?
Could end up being a PS4/PS5 cross-gen game as PS4 would be “other consoles” but at the same time, I would think that they would have announced it as such considering they announced Miles, Sackboy and Horizon 2 as all being cross-gen. Tough to say for sure because Sony’s messaging has been all over the place the last few days so no one really knows 100%.

Yep at the very least PC as it is a Sony IP.

Marvel’s Spider Man: Miles Morales is currently rated 84 on Open Critic which is a great score but lower than the first game which I do agree with as it does seem to be an 8-10 hour expansion as opposed to a full fledged game. Not a fan of the optional side content in the game as it still sounds/looks meh like in the first game. On the positive side, there’s no stealth missions like in the original which I freaking hated.
Insomniac Games is definitely one of the best development studios and can definitely give the top tier in Sony’s first parties a run for their money. Looking forward to playing Miles when I eventually buy a PlayStation 5 and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart in Spring 2021.
Rumors going around that Sony is going to acquire Bluepoint Games if they haven’t already and their next rumored PS5 remake will be 1998 Metal Gear Solid. Really hoping this is true. Imagine that game on PS5 remade. Oh man. Was hoping that Demon’s Souls was going to be MGS but oh well. Good things come to those who wait so hopefully, this ends up being true.

Bluepoint being acquired doesnt really change much for the gaming scene I think and its more of a formality like Playground was for Xbox. Also can they make something else besides remakes??? I kinda wanna see if they are up to that.
While it doesn’t change anything, it’s not really meant to. It’s more about locking down a development studio that has for the most part only worked with Sony. I would like to see them expand into two teams if/when acquired. One team for new games or sequels to remakes of games that the second team is doing.
I loved Metal Gear Solid so if it was to get a PS5 remake like Demon’s Souls did, that’s day one without question. Overall, it’s adding another high quality development studio to their already industry best lineup of first party studios.

Demons Souls looks amazing. Take my hat off to Sony, I’ll buy a PS5 eventually to play it.

I see an acquisition as less of a formality and more of what happens due to that, things like creaton of more teams and tech sharing for example. There’s a reason why most Sony games have amazing facial animation and in game cinematics, no doubt it’s due to all the internal studios getting to consult each other and do R&D across the board and access tools, workflows, pipelines, etc. In the same way Turn10 laid the foundation for Playground to create Horizon, there could be scenarios where the Bluepoint team can leverage super secret sauce Naughty Dog tech, or Sony Santa Monica using what Bluepoint did with Demon’s Souls in the next God of War, so on.
And yeah, creation of more teams, maybe one on remakes and one on original IP.
Wasn’t 100% sure where to post this, but I just beat Horizon: Zero Dawn. It’s really good. Fantastic story, great combat, excellent characters and the world is a ton of fun to explore. Reminds me a bit of Bethesda games.
I do hope Forbidden West delves deeper into the RPG mechanics though. I loved the dialogue options but wish there were more/made more of an impact, and I wish your strength/attributes would increase in a more RPG style instead of just through augmentations to weapons/armor. Still, minor gripes in what is already an impressive game made doubly so given (correct me if I’m wrong) Guerilla has never made a game of this type. Gives me even more hope for Fable given PlayGround’s experience with world design and the help they could get from Obsidian, InXile, Zenimax Online and Bethesda Game Studios if needed.

Posting this here is fine as Horizon is a first party title.
Glad you enjoyed the game. I loved Horizon Zero Dawn and while it slipped a few spots since 2017, it was my 4th best game of the PS4/Xbox One generation. I personally see it as the best WRPG of last gen after The Witcher III.
I agree with you in regards to wanting the sequel to be deeper with the RPG elements and whatnot. Guerrilla Games going from four Killzone games to this was simply amazing. Super hyped for Horizon II: Forbidden West.

honestly the story was that good I completly ignored any side contend and was eager to learn how it all connect together. The resulution was as satisfing as in Xenoblade 1 and 2 or Bioshock.

Just got my PS5 the other day, and Astro playroom is a solid demo for dual sense capabilities. I’m actually surprised how well it plays. Also going to hold off on spiderman and other games because i feel like rather wait for price drop and not in a rush to play those games
Lastly, is it me or is the PS5 UI horrible? Like it’s so confusing and hard to navigate to do stuff. Also the idea of built in microphone in controller is dumb. Overall satisfied, but def could’ve waited, but there won’t be a price drop in awhile so decent impulse buy for me

Love Astro.
UI is a classic mixed bag for me. Looks pretty, has great elements (like telling you how long you have left in a chapter and a built in store) but it’s also a pain in the ass to navigate at points. PS3’s was a lot easier to follow. Same with Xbox’s but that changes every month so idk anymore. I still really like the Xbox UI.

I like how PlayStation UI looks, but not how it behaves. Going into settings gives me anxiety as I can’t figure out what is what and sometimes I open several different submenus in order to find what I need, and sometimes I just have to Google it.al least that’s how it was on PS4. I haven’t used ps5 but from what I’ve seen it’s very similar.

yeah it has cool features that I hope xbox can implement like game progress, trophy/achievements hints, and a few other features. I just think at the moment either it’s just me or navigation and finding stuff is a pain. Also found the store much harder to follow compared to xbox, but other than that the PS5 is solid and controller is an improvement over DS4, but still prefer the asymmetrical sitck layout of the xbox and switch pro controller
nice, hope this becomes a standard.
