K8.0 posted:It's not about the aesthetics, from does a great job of doing a western aesthetic. It's that the visuals are objectively bad and totally out of date, and not in a stylized way that could be cool. It's not just in terms of poly count and texture res either, look at the big dudes pulling the coach in the trailer. Their heads are totally non-animated, all their hair and poo poo is very plainly just part of a static "head" model and even that isn't flexing relative to the body at all. That's probably the most egregious example, but even in the "better" areas the animation honestly looks like complete rear end for the most part, it's more like an early 360 era title than even a PS4 game. From doesn't seem capable of moving forward at all from where they were with Demons Souls other than adding in a few polygons and a bit higher res textures. There really isn't an excuse for this, while not everyone is always at the bleeding edge, there's no one else making $60 games that has adapted this little. Madden shows more visual improvement FFS. lol

Re: the open world stuff. Miyazaki described the structure of the game shortly after it was revealed and it sounds like it's basically wide open areas that connect more traditional Souls style levels. So I wouldn't go in expecting it to be Red Dead Redemption all of a sudden.

I hope there’s no map, or if there is it’s like Shadow of the Colossus style. Miyazaki already said it’s not really ‘open world’, but called it ‘open air’, so I doubt it will be anything like your average triple A open world game.

This post stinks, but I will admit that on paper there are some things in all Fromsoft games that aren't very "state of the art". But it also doesn't matter. From isn't competing with other AAA games in the way you seem to be implying. Their story isn't that of a dev trying to create a top of the line AAA technical showpiece for Sony, or MS or whatever. They started out as an underdog making AA games barely anyone cared about, and were thrust into the spotlight for doing something that (I don't think I'm being hyperbolic here) sort of changed everything. They have never seemed to give a poo poo about certain things that are becoming industry standard like mocapped faces or photorealism or whatever. So their games might not line up with some of the things you'd expect from "AAA" but it doesn't matter at all, because they have always just prioritized what they wanted to and done their own thing, and thats what got them where they are today. Not keeping up with the joneses. Also most of your bullet points are just flat out wrong because the animation is awesome and the game looks great.

I'm glad someone was brave enough to say this. Nintendo did open world with Hyrule Field on the N64 and this barely looks better. Rockstar did shrinking horse testicles years ago and I also didn't see any equine balls at all in this game with horses in it. Stagnant.

Because I would be tickled, that was also a term used by its publisher to describe the open world game that I did not mention last page that I hope Miyazaki has been inspired by. Whoops sry, ‘open field’, I think I was subconsciously thinking of the game you were talking about. BP, there’s some more info on the basic premise of the game from the website, if you want to add it to the OP: “The Golden Order has been broken. Rise, Tarnished, and be guided by grace to brandish the power of the Elden Ring and become an Elden Lord in the Lands Between. In the Lands Between ruled by Queen Marika the Eternal, the Elden Ring, the source of the Erdtree, has been shattered. Marika's offspring, demigods all, claimed the shards of the Elden Ring known as the Great Runes, and the mad taint of their newfound strength triggered a war: The Shattering. A war that meant abandonment by the Greater Will. And now the guidance of grace will be brought to the Tarnished who were spurned by the grace of gold and exiled from the Lands Between. Ye dead who yet live, your grace long lost, follow the path to the Lands Between beyond the foggy sea to stand before the Elden Ring. And become the Elden Lord” And some more generic ad copy, but it confirms a few things at least “ A NEW FANTASY WORLD Journey through the Lands Between, a new fantasy world created by Hidetaka Miyazaki, creator of the influential DARK SOULS video game series, and George R. R. Martin, author of The New York Times best-selling fantasy series, A Song of Ice and Fire. Unravel the mysteries of the Elden Ring’s power. Encounter adversaries with profound backgrounds, characters with their own unique motivations for helping or hindering your progress, and fearsome creatures.” “ WORLD EXPLORATION IN THE LANDS BETWEEN ELDEN RING features vast fantastical landscapes and shadowy, complex dungeons that are connected seamlessly. Traverse the breathtaking world on foot or on horseback, alone or online with other players, and fully immerse yourself in the grassy plains, suffocating swamps, spiraling mountains, foreboding castles and other sites of grandeur on a scale never seen before in a FromSoftware title.” “ GENRE-DEFINING GAMEPLAY Create your character in FromSoftware's refined action-RPG and define your playstyle by experimenting with a wide variety of weapons, magical abilities, and skills found throughout the world. Charge into battle, pick off enemies one-by-one using stealth, or even call upon allies for aid. Many options are at your disposal as you decide how to approach exploration and combat. “ Obviously whoever leaked that George RR Martin was involved knew something, but they said the name was going to be Great Rune, which are the ‘shards of the Elden Ring’ imhotep fucked around with this message at 01:01 on Jun 12, 2021 |
