They may have two full months all to themselves from a sales standpoint.

Glad to see the summoning crutch for the whiners is back :messenger_winking:

My brother raised a great question: wonder why MS lost this reveal?

MS had the reveal originally according to quite a few insiders and somehow FROM went with Summer Game Fest. Wonder what caused that to come about.

Looks like insiders weren't deep inside enough...

/OT

Game looks very "From Softwareish"? Very intrigued by the story and gameplay. Can't wait!

Wonder why they chose to show the last-gen version, thou....

Those of you criticising the graphics...

Have you played a Souls game?

Blighttown was basically a fucking slideshow, and it’s still in one of the top five games ever made.

We don‘t care about the graphics.

You only begin to care too much about graphics when you lack enough what's the most important in a game.

Day one. Love from games. The lightning looks kinda flat, and the graphics don't look improved over sekiro. Let's see how this ships

That trailer alone was more satisfying than the entire SW sequel trilogy.

Have not been this hyped for a game since Breath of the Wild.

So the last gen version is 4k/60 is it?

Also clearly many of the leaks were true, magic summon mounts, PVE, waifu , jump attacks, stealth, collossi, omg all I need now from E3 is FROM to be on that Bamco showcase with some Q&A how this works.

This really looks like the culmination of everything they've done before.

RPG elements and varied builds + dark medieval fantasy aesthetic of the Souls games.
Faster combat of Bloodborne and Sekiro.
Increased mobility and stealth mechanics from Sekiro.
And now in an open world with even more stuff like mounts.

I really hope they manage to pull it off.

Well, said it in the other thread but now I have a deadline to get either a Ps5 or a decent PC.
Don't want to play this with badly frame paced 30fps on my Pro.


Looks amazing as expected

There is probably no "next-gen version", it will be basically the same game at higher res and frame rate, better textures, some visual effects etc.

They developed the game for years with PS4/XOne in mind, there is no way they have a proper next-gen version ready as well at launch.

Sure it looks cool, but I find Souls style games too tedious and frustrating to be much fun, so my hype level is minimal.

Looks fucking awesome, but man, that demons souls remake really spoiled me for visual expectations

As good as it looked, I certainly prefer FROM's art direction and aesthetic. I enjoyed playing Demon's Souls in 60 FPS, but there was definitely something lost in the translation.

And THAT on 60fps 4k ray tracing new consoles, its simple awesome

Watching this trailer again - I can’t really understand how anyone is disappointed this looks like a straight up amazing videogame, the open world with that aesthetic and dark souls/Bloodborne esque gameplay? I dunno man this looks better as a game than really anything upcoming so far
