Jeez, the hyperbole about how bad the graphics are is ridiculous. People are talking as if ER looks like a PS3 game.
I sure hope none of you expected the game to look on par with Horizon: Forbidden West or Demon's Souls remake.
It's weird, sometimes the hair/fur/cloth looks really good IMO, sometimes it's hay in a breeze...Just watched the higher quality video and it does look alot better. I just wish from software would update their hair and material physics tech. It looks so stiff and last last gen. If this game had realistic cloth and hair physics it would so much better.
Hum didn't catch the stealth bit. I have to rewatch.i agree and i'll just add that, yes, seems like Dark Souls here and there but honestly fighting a giant dragon with a double jumping mount is not exactly Souls style (and there is stealth too), this is kinda huge in terms of gameplay.
However yeah day 0.
Still I don't know what type of game is this. Is it a open world Souls?
What are you talking about ? Demon’s souls is basically a corridor game, this is a majestic, huge open world souls game. DS seems tiny in scope compared to this.Going from Demons Souls to this (in terms of graphics) is pretty disappointing but Elden Ring still looks so cool, I just can't wait to play it.
Day 1 baby.
It's the same the other way around. Acting like this game is the best they've ever seen while it just looks exactly like bloodborne in another universe.
Talking about the graphics don't be offended. Your precious ER is still amazing but the graphics are underwhelming compared to Demons Souls. I do believe ER will excel in other areas and be superb.What are you talking about ? Demon’s souls is basically a corridor game, this is a majestic, huge open world souls game.

Anyway day one, this seems like the ultimate From Software game.
There is nothing underwhelming about watching a huge souls-like game compared to a remake of a PS3 corridor souls game. ER looks jaw dropping.Talking about the graphics don't be offended.

Most likely. Souls Open world.So, is this like a Souls style game?
Exactly my thoughts.Art style and 4k60fps >>>>>>>> pretty graphics imo
I recall most people saying sekiro looked underwhelming.
Goty no?
Respect bro. Very well put. But I can't see how people think BB looks better tbh. ER much cleaner and lighting more nuanced from what I saw. Also I think models look more detailed.There are some laughable takes in this thread by repeat offenders. Say your piece and kindly gtfo - no need to keep going off like broken record every damn page. It's okay, other people can enjoy games even when you don't.
"bUt DeMoN sOuLs LoOkS sO mUcH bEtTeR??!!" - Yeah, no shit. It's a fairly linear game built on top of a PS3 engine which leaves a huge amount of render budget and deals with mostly static lighting. It's also next-gen exclusive and was made such that graphics is the entire point. There's also the fact that Bluepoint only had to focus on revamping assets rather than making an entire game from the ground up.
"lol it's just DS4" - So let me get this straight; because the game has FromSoft's recognizable art direction (which is one of their best traits btw), has a medieval + dark fantasy setting, and builds off the hyper polished gameplay of previous titles... that means ER is just DS4? Anybody who has actually played these games would be able to recognize just how large of leap this is over the Souls series. Plus, Miyazaki has repeatedly stated that ER was meant to be an "evolution" of Souls like DS1 was to DeS. Who would have thought that he would actually, I dunno, make a game in a similar vein as Souls? smh
"Well RDR2 and HFW are cross-gen open-world and they look sooooo much better" - Oh yeah! I completely forgot that every studio has the same unlimited resources + time as Rockstar or a first-party dev like Guerrila! It's all so clear now /s. I enjoyed RDR2 and HZD, but it's quite obvious that these games have different design goals in mind. Plus, FromSoft's gameplay shits on both from high places. What's more, people seem to think that ER is pushing for graphical realism rather than sticking to their own unique art direction. To me, these titles look like something out of a manga whose style looks slightly realistic, but that isn't the main point. It's the same reason that BotW isn't trying to implement every modern graphics technique under the sun: ART DIRECTION.
"Bloodborne looks better from a visual standpoint" - You have a point there, but there's good reason for it:
- FromSoftware doesn't have a Sony budget backing them this time around
- This game is open world and thus the volume of content is much higher
- They've shifted from static lighting to real-time and so they can't really get away with all the shortcuts of baked lighting to achieve higher levels of fidelity.
- They have to make this game run across the entire spectrum of gaming hardware (including base XB1, eek!!). This means a ton of time testing performance and less hardware-specific optimization.
That about addresses the majority of concerns I've seen repeated ad nauseam. Come at me bro.
