This week’s Famitsu looks dashing.

@“chazumaru”#p59917 do you know if the PS4 version on PS5 trick works if I'm using a physical disk?
@“Gaagaagiins”#p59920 Sorry I cannot confirm it for sure, as I am still trying to figure out the arcanes of PS5 retro-compatibility myself, but I fail to see why it would not work?
@“chazumaru”#p59923 I will see tomorrow morning!

Interesting!
Looks like it is limited to *8* characters, so I have entered `[REDACTED]`
(edit: oops! I just noticed the update to the top post stating `donkymlk`. I'll leave my other as an alternate group password since it lets us enter multiple)
All caps, just in case it's case sensitive.
Cool to see the you can input multiple group passwords!
@“Gaagaagiins”#p59920 From everything I’ve read it sounds like if you buy a PS5 copy that’s all you get. A PS4 copy comes with a free upgrade to the PS5 version. If you buy digital it looks like you get both no matter what.
Can confirm PS5 disc does not include PS4 version. Bummer, but at least the box is pretty.
FWIW even coming from the silky smoothness of the Demon's Souls remake I am not finding the framerate too bad. Only had time to play about an hour so far but it's a very pleasant experience!
@“goonbag”#p59938 Glad to hear you‘re enjoying it! For me the stuttering makes me a tiny bit motion sick, which is something I’ve never experienced in a game outside of VR before and it bums me out. We‘ll see if I weather it or if I’ll have to wait for a patch.
@“christoffing”#p59942 ah, that sucks. sorry to hear it. honestly i can‘t see why it wouldn’t be fixable with a patch & i hope they do.
I wish the group thing made it so you only saw messages from within your group, rather than just prioritising it. There are a million little message markers all over the place (like in all the Souls games), it'd be much nicer if there were only a few here and there – and to know that they come from within the group.
is that so? I assumed the relentless unfunny but hole messages were from this community
the stuttering is getting on my nerves a bit. I'm running at 50s-60 on max on 1440, unbroken 60 on high, but stuttering and slow mo instances every few minutes when outdoors
I haven't been able to get online at all on xbox
@“yeso”#p59950 what GPU are you using? I was able to get really close to 60fps locked on my 3060 by setting the global “Shader Cache Size” setting in NVIDIA Control Panel to “Unlimited”.
@“fetus8”#p59993 rx 5700xt - not having like actual framerate issues other than 1-2 second freakouts. weird!
Picked up my copy this morning at the gamestop. There were about 8 other people there picking it up too. Had to say no to two pieces of cheap pre-order bonus crap.
@“yeso”#p59996
Is it in specific areas for you as well? My PC has a 3070 and all the nice numbers, and the game freaks out in specific areas. It runs smooth at max settings, but in certain spots - like if I fight the giant horse-spear-dude from the initial area in the middle of the the recessed clearing the game goes haywire for a sec. If I lure him elsewhere things don't chug for a sec.

@“Herb”#p60004 Is it in specific areas for you as well?
good question, I haven't been paying close enough attention to say. I think it's only happened outdoors, and I don't think it's tied to the usual sorts of slowdown-causers like a density of visual effects, swarm of enemies, long draw distance etc
@“yeso”#p60008
That's been my experience so far too from what I've played. It doesn't seem like any of the typical offenders to me and it always happens in specific places so far.

I haven't seen any of the bloodstains or messages from IC, which seems odd. I also can't see any bloodstain death replays whatsoever. Whenever I touch bloodstains nothing happens.
