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

I think people's problem with sekiro falls into a few areas

But I will say if you played it on base consoles you are going to have a bad time. I didn't like the game until I played it on PC. Honestly guys its a game changer. It really matters for this one.

This game is incredible at 60fps for one.

September seems realistic as I'm going on holiday so Imagine it will release the morning of my flight so I will absolutely hate my trip and prefer to be burning my eyes with "you died" or whatever is the new one in glorious hdr for 18 hours a day!

In some of the clearer parts I saw, the graphics looked incredibly dated and bad.

Hopefully, we'll see something during the E3 timeframe in June. At this point, I stopped caring. They had granular claims about making a new IP but looks like the same old Souls game.
 
Granular claims about a new ip and whining about bad graphics in an unfinished leaked off camera potato vid and you have a Neir Automata avatar?

Great revive.

Y’all of little faith. Did they not give us Bloodborne?

After DS and Dark Souls 3 on PS5 for the 60fps it will be nice to have the threat of invasions again. I don't have PS+ so I have been playing offline.

Elden Ring is a PS4 / xbone game.
You are low iq if you think it will be next gen.

Spacefish speaks to us from the future.

How was the DLC?
I know its a difficult concept to grasp, may even seem like time travel. When a team of people repeatedly make average games its sometimes a good idea to suspect the next game is going to be average too.
Mind blowing, I know.

what do you want me to say to you? congratulations? it's nice that you're into DS 2 and 3. I was specifically talking to the people like me, who weren't and so they should check their expectations. Believe it or not, there's a lot of people who think DS 2 and 3 are mediocre.

Lots of people expecting this to be Bloodborne or Sekiro tier quality are going to be disappointed, this is the dark souls 2 and 3 team. Adjust expectations accordingly.
Did you get this info out of your ass?

The most ambitious game by FromSoft, directed and written by Miyazaki himself with input of J.R. Martin, is made by B team. Yeah, right.

its public knowledge that the darksouls team was split into the BB team and the DS 2 team. By miyazaki's own admission pretty much nobody from the BB team worked on DS3, that means they must have moved onto Sekiro. Elden ring began development immediately after DS3's last dlc and during sekiro's development, so there's only one conclusion here. Elden ring is made by the DS2/DS3 team.
From this you can deduce there are two major teams and two separate linages within FROM (originating from dark souls). The way the games look and play, the release dates and development start dates also line up perfectly. After looking at the elden ring leaks it should make it extra obvious who's responsible.

I'm not making any leaps in logic, it's a simple conclusion. and the reason I made this post is this:

"The most ambitious game by FromSoft, directed and written by Miyazaki himself with input of J.R. Martin, is made by B team. Yeah, right."

seems to be the prevailing feeling, driving a lot of the hype and it's almost certainly a misconception.

Bro, I am certainly aware of how DS2 and BB were developed by separate teams and specifically leads from DS1 went to work on BB with Miyazaki. But I doubt that you have any idea how internal processes are going for Elden Ring, especially since Miyazaki presumably works on it from the start. Maybe both teams are working on it right now, with team A on leading positions and team B on supportive or working on the future dlcs for it. So there is no reason to speculate here unless you have some specific info about internal state of the dev team.

Also I would appreciate if you show me where Miyazaki admitted that "pretty much nobody from the BB team worked on DS3".

"However, none of the Bloodborne team members joined the Dark Souls 3 development team. Miyazaki-san is actually the only guy who handled both."

Yoshimura immediately clarified that "some visual designers have also worked on both titles. That's the exception."


(I guess this may have been from the producer, its confusing since they didn't close the quotes from miyazaki's statement but its just as reliable either way) sounds like pretty much nobody to me. There isn't a single development studio on earth who would intentionally regress to a 1 game studio, that makes absolutely no business sense. Every 1 game studio is trying desperately to get to a position like FROM where they have 1 team making the stable money makers and the other doing more experimental shit, having all your eggs in 1 basket sucks. Elden ring starting years before sekiro's release means at least the initial leads were almost certainly from DS3's team. Yeah, sure they could do a bunch of crazy shit and rearrange the whole company to get Elden ring up to snuff, maybe the massive delays are because of a big shakeup but from what we know it makes more sense to assume its just the "B" team.

You have no evidence. Everything you are claiming is conjecture.
oh, Just conjecture that the devs themselves are on record stating almost no staff were shared between BB and DS 3
just a coincidence that Sekiro began development in late 2015, immediately after the release of BB's final DLC and during the development of DS 3
just a coincidence that the lead game designer on Bloodbourne was the director alongside miyazaki on Sekiro
just a coincidence both Sekiro and BB push the same aggressive game mechanics
just a coincidence that Elden ring began development in early 2017 following the release of DS 3's final DLC and during the development of Sekiro
just a coincidence the leaks of Elden Ring look exactly like an open world darksouls 4

I guess I just pulled all this out my ass and this is all unrelated bullshit because it makes more sense for a game studio to randomly pull massive amounts of staff away from their projects mid development to go work on other games. The prevailing narrative must be correct because after all, how could hype be wrong? My emotions must be validated.
