The online services are down, and the official website is a stock domain page.

http://www.demons-souls.com/home.html

After so many years with this game, all of the white phantom/black phantom fun must come to an end, I will miss all of those messages that were funny, cute, or even deadly.

Please pay homage to the Uniters of the World.

Any one that didn't start out with DeS in it's prime will never experience it
Back then summoning for areas or bosses wans't considered casual or scrub. Going thorugh areas and figuring out strategies together was amazing and beating a boss together actually felt like you made progress because of your partner.
Now the wikis are ready day1 and everyone just shits on everyone that isn't using the fresh meme meta builds

>>337840568
>I know but they should still announce if they're going to shut it down since there are probably tons of people who don't know about the original shutdown plans.
That's what I'm saying though, they had originally announced the shutdown, whether people know about it or now doesn't matter, it was announced, I get what you're saying but at the same time that's like complaining they don't come out every month with a recap of every server they've ever shut down because some people might not know about the shut down. Its on them to announce, beyond that they've no responsibility to ignorance.

>>
>>337839025
They own the IP because they co-developed it with FROM.
Atlus published DeS in America and Blamco Bandaid published it in Europe.
Publish doesn't mean OWNS.
The same goes with Bloodbourne; Sony owns the IP.
You PCucks can petition until the world goes under and you still won't get your port.
Better start working on that PS3 emulator to make the game run more than 5FPS with tons of glitches and your non-existant PS4 emulator.

Dude, it was literally years ago and not yesterday.

The only thing that matters is that they didn't shut them down. Shutting them now and claiming that doesn't make sense since they were supposed to be shut down back then and not now on this specific date.

It's a completely out of the blue shutdown with no announcement.

>Old Monk is easier when you're doing PvP though

I have an old Monk story.

I had no clue he was a PvP enemy. First time I just fought his AI. Easy as can be. Second playthrough, I get this message that I'm getting invade. Whatever, i'll just rush to the boss fight. One of those critters do a corossive attack. My scimitar breaks. I have no backup weapons and no ability to fix it. I go to the boss room. Zweihander Monk with regen ring. I literally cannot do enough damage to counter his healing. Impossible fight.

My mistake for not bringing weapon fixing items or having a backup weapon.

A few years ago I went into Demon's Souls completely blind having never played a Souls game before. I could never understand what the fuck world tendency was. Shit I didn't even know it was a sort of multiplayer game until an invasion happened like half way through the game. I'm glad I played it before Dark Souls as it helped me to appreciate it more but god damn I have no idea what was going on in DeS.

Dual audio isn't as easy as people would lead you to believe. The contracts with japanese VAs have to include it up front and they sometimes want compensation on the back end of the release. If you are using well known VAs it's just not worth it for the relatively small pool of players who will actually use it and care about it.

That said I don't actually know if Persona 5 will have dual audio but I hope you realize there are lots of reasons games don't ship with it these days.

Anyway, I have to get back to Stellaris. Have a good day /v/... I love you guys even if nobody else does.
>>
>>337841680
Which version?
Go body form in 1-3, 2-1 or 3-1 at the right level and you should get invaded if you're lucky.

The US and Jap versions are far from dead and the EU version has it's peaks when DeS is on sale

Sony's shit says that before servers are taken down it's going to be announced sometime before it happens. And as you can see https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/legal/gameservers/ Demon's Souls is not here at all. It's even Sony owned product for fuck's sake.

It's a system in place that tracks basically everything you do, from dying to beating bosses to talking to NPCs, and changes small yet very important things accordingly.

Although I mostly agree with you, I think the idea at the time was neat. They seemed to be going for some extra replayability. I remember the first time I noticed certain npcs at black/white tendencies and then died (while alive) and then they were gone. Fucked with me until I learn about tendency.

World tendency was barely explained or not at all, but the idea itself is amazing and once you know how it works you can easily control it
It's way better than NG+ changes, you can actually make new NPC phantoms appear or even open up new areas.
You have to look up how it works, but that's it. People always act like it's super complicated, but it's basicly

They should get into the habit of doing that. Enhanced ports and remakes are GODLY.

Imagine Demon souls, with the complete archstone, at 60fps.

Or any of the older King's Field games, no fully cross platform, 60fps, better graphics, smoother gameplay.

Dude, the fuck are you restricting yourself for if there's no servers? dupe-glitch the fucking souls and cap all stats, everything is a fucking joke after that even in NG++.

>>337841605
That's entirely different, Scholar of the first sin was a repack of all the DLC and patches combined into one entry and was a scheduled release, it made no sense to release this extended cut on a PS3 when it was winding down as a platform, if you look at the difference between the PS3 and PS4 version, the resolution is better but that's it, they didn't re-make anything for it, and porting was easy because PS4 architecture is extremely close to the PC one, which they already had a version of.

The reason they're not doing Demon's souls, the reason they don't do remakes is that cross-architecture gap means they have to rewrite most of the code and remake all the assets, even if they can port over shit like walls and barrels and lamps from Dark Souls 3, and even though they can do everything in that engine saving time, just the sheer amount of work required in making all the assets unique to Demon's is staggering.

Why are sonyggers hyping up a remaster again?

The game is outdated by modern standards of the Souls series, going backwards is just stupid for From to do. The fact that it'll be stuck as an exclusive again and probably not ported will only hurt it even more. You honestly thing PS4 owners give a shit for Demon's Souls or even Boodborne? Please.

Nobody is going to deny Japanese licensing is hell, but plenty of companies still manage just fine, even ones smaller than Atlus and dealing with releases smaller than P5.

You lose literally nothing by dumping them. Voiceacting will be better (seriously, how fucking jarring was it to hear VAs in English constantly yelling SENPAI CHAN TACHI BAKA KUN? It was really off-putting unless you're complete weeb who loves shit) and text will be better.

Persona is pretty much the only videogame series that has done it and even then it didn't even start with chan tachi baka kuns. I repeat: Nobody fucking else does it.

I swear to god I posted something in an earlier thread about Dark Souls, and it caused this.

We were talking about which Souls games have the best gameplay, I mentioned I thought DeS did. Someone responded about how unbalanced and unfun the PvP was. My response was "I wasn't thinking in terms of PvP for a game that's probably going to have its servers killed soon."

I'm so sorry guys.

I agree to most people they don't make sense in English, but many localized manga will preface with with a list of honorfics and their implications for example. Keeping them prevents excess changes to the script.

Nep games use top-tier seiyuus, and every VA in Persona 5 works with agencies that allow licensing overseas. They've all been published in the west at one time or another. This is entirely a case of Atlus being stubborn, lazy, cheap, uncooperative, or all of the above.

Localisation is fucking supposed to change it to make sense it the 'culture' it's localised to you idiot.

You don't keep Japanese jokes or memes or what have you in the localisation because they don't make any sense at all either.

And again, fucking every single jap game is going to have honorifics but the only one that for some reason is obsessed with them is the team that localises Persona. To the point they apparently add them to places there weren't any previously.

The only thing that keeping honorifics does is make people think it's somehow sensible to use them while talking in English.
