Leaked off-screen trailer of Elden Ring is legit - but no one has a link

Im hyped for this game but one thing disappointed me is the confirmation that there is no cities or npc, so its basically a game where you fight monsters and explore dead areas. When they said its going to be open world rpg, i thought it will have big city and villages and npcs to interact with and take quests and change the world..etc..etc. I also thought it will feature gameplay aspects other than just combat/fighting. But whatever im still hyped.
Go play kiddy skyrim if you want that shit.

Like i was saying on another thread, VG Corps should always take risks and try something new.
This is also why big Corp like Sony , MS and others should not only focus on well known names and studios, but also sometimes give a chance to other unknown devs. Sony obviously always done that. (but i'm not sure what to think about Jimbo Ryan and Hermen Clown tho,)

Miyazaki was nobody before Demon Souls, and Yosp even admitted he didn't found Demon Souls great at first, and now he (Miyazaki) is one of the best if not the best dev in the industry (personally i consider that only Kojima is at that level)

Fortunately he was given his chance, and since then he kept dropping some of the best games even made.

UMBASA!!!

He's right, though. They could broaden their horizons and make more intractable, alive worlds. Otherwise why make it open? Most Souls games are pretty open world anyway, you have hubs and can literally travel their worlds...

On second thought, it's best we don't have fetch quests where you just kill things anyway.

EDIT: I see giants(or whatever those things that are pulling the carriage are) continue to have a shit time in the worlds that Fromsoft creates.

Can we have Bluepoint do the graphics and let From Software handle everything else? Demon's Souls is such a gorgeous game and I'm having doubts that From will top the graphics with Elden Ring.

Either way, I haven't been so hyped for a game since MGSV. I'm sure they will deliver a classic.

All this footage has just enough jank to convince me its legit.

Looks cool, GRRM world build + Bloodborne ish gameplay.

Bet its a 2021 release, but PS4 XBO PC only. Next gen will be 2022 re-release w/ DLC.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Okay wtf, trailer is not even out and I'm already considering going into media blackout. :goog_relieved:
 
I gotta just wait for the official trailer. I've waited this long. Not that a trailer is gonna sell me or unsell me on a From game but I want my first impression to not be in 240p.

Skiped Sekiro as i was burned from the soulsborne formula / challenging games, but now im ready to platinum another souls game. The graphics look kinda dated, but the art looks amazing. Will be there day 1.

Face models look rough TBH, like DS3 assets. No way near Demon's Souls remake level in that regard.

I recently created a development model in my head whereby devs go back to PS3 360 generation game creation (faster, better), and another set of studios remake them for release.

Absolutely nothing about Demons Souls feels old. Why can't we go to the time and place things worked well (PS2 Holiday 2001 lineup pic) and layer on the looks which have seemingly bogged the whole pipeline down.

Yeah this is not going to match the DeS remake visually, people need to get over that now.

From graphics have always been about prioritizing art design over technical proficiency. Don't judge them on a standard they aren't even reaching for.

Well yeah, if you honestly expected Fromsoft to make a game with amazing graphics, then I don't know what to say, all of their games have pretty much been graphically behind the times, however they make up for that with their art design.

Yeah, there's this one YouTube video that was about the character creation in the Demon's Souls remake that had the words "Fromsoft needs to step up" in the title. I think some people are bothered by the fact that From doesn't really try to evolve their graphics.

not a big deal people buy from games for gameplay, great boss fight and lure

if it is 60 fps on ps5 and series x it is ok by me

So we now have stealth independent of magic or equipment.

I'm so curious about how they will integrate the open fields with the Souls gameplay loop. The first thing I think when I see From Software logo is brilliant and focused encounter and level design. An open field changes everything.
