Topic: PlayStation 5 --OT--

Oh I wasn't having a go at anyone @Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy, sorry if it came across that way!

If I had played the original I'm unsure if I would be getting the remake, as that it is not something I generally do. About the only exception is Dark Souls as I had never finished it on 360.

Apparently the performance issues that haunted the original have all been sorted out on the remake.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy They just went ‘big’ with every single track on the soundtrack. Even tracks which should be low key like it’s as if they paid for the use of a choir and wanted to squeeze all they could from them. Maiden in Black is just plain ruined to be honest, same as quite a few boss themes. The soundtrack would probably work in Dark Souls 3 but everything I’ve seen of Demon’s Souls over the years has had a much more somber and downbeat vibe. It’s not like I’m hating on the game or whatever, it’s probably still the game I most want on PS5 but I just really really dislike what they’ve done with the soundtrack. I even saw in the PS review here it basically just says that the new soundtrack is orchestrated so it’s better. That just plainly isn’t true for a lot of games, and especially here where any sort of unique identity that the game had is just gone. The direction they took was to make the game sound like every other first party game. The worst part is that I know Bluepoint can do better, their Shadow of the Colossus OST is great as it still captures the original essence of the tracks while fully orchestrating them.

They butchered Tower Knight's theme hard honestly. It just doesn't sound like it fits the type of boss he is anymore

@JohnnyShoulder @Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Just to add about the AI, the director said that the AI was the one thing he really didn’t want to change. Buggy, janky AI from over 10 years ago. Part of me feels like that should have been one of the first things updated 😂

Hope these names mean something to someone, as I don't have a scooby who any of them are! 😆

@JohnnyShoulder Who? Lol

Looks like the digital edition’s in stock on GAME’s website for... probably the next 2 minutes if anyone’s interested.

And it’s now out of stock. Wow.

May the force be with you

@nessisonett The time stamp on your two posts shows that your prognostication skills are quite impressive.

Got any good stock market tips?

@Th3solution Hahaha, perhaps be extremely lucky? I dunno, I’m actually pretty good at that sorta stuff though, when they call out who’s going through on Strictly Come Dancing, I can pick who’s being announced next with relative accuracy. Perhaps I’m psychic.

My PS5 from Amazon has been delayed for mysterious "external reasons." I can't stop refreshing the order status page every 20 seconds even though I know that'll just make the wait even more painful. It's gonna be a long day today.

@Matroska
Just got the notification out for delivery from Amazon.uk

Had a PS5 in my basket out of last minute FOMO. Enter my basket on Currys’ website and... your basket is empty. Try again about 5 times and in that space of time, it’s sold out.

@Th3solution Note the time. That was roughly the same time I got mine.

@nessisonett aren't they meant to go live at 9am on Curry's?

@nessisonett Mate, that happened to me so many times. I even had an email from PayPal saying payment to Argos was successful, even though the PS5 was still in my basket and it was out of stock. Luckily no money was taken from my account, but that was a scary 4 weeks knowing they might take the money any day.

@carlos82 I snagged mine outside when they were supposed to go live. Retailers are trying to get the jump on scalpers, as by announcing the time in advance they play into their hands.
