I MAY LOOK LIKE SHIT BUT IM ALSO DUMB AS FUCK



one thing i'm really excited about in this game is that we're going to be able to make goon groups specifically for elden ring summons, i really wonder how that's going to change things up. miyazaki got us organizing!

I'm aware that 98 days from now the (lack of) marketing is just going to be a weird footnote, but still, basically going back to the information drought after the reveal trailer honestly feels pretty cruel.

It was but it ruled so hard when you realized what Geoff was introducing.

Surprised it hasn't been posted yet, there is actually a little bit new. Yesterday had a new official screenshot:



Those who have seen the actual gameplay footage have apparently confirmed that what is in the back there is an openable chest. Unknown what you get from it, but seems these caravan things like we saw in the trailer roam the open world and raiding them gets you... well whatever is in the chests. Neat

The Playstation Japan Play Play Play event with a Vtuber (lol) taking about Elden Ring also surprisingly did include some new tidbits as well. Included some new screenshots (quality is kinda poor so far, since we only have them from the livestream):





Also, a slightly new vantage point was shown from the bridge/Erdtree shot that showed off some of the day/night cycle:

Coolest thing about this little bit of new info to me though is the speculation that the structure seen on top of the Walking Bell guy here:



Might actually be our Firelink Hub, and if so the implication being that it can move around the world a bit. Seems to match some of the architecture from what we've seen of the inside of the hub room so far:

Don't know about you, I'm doing the ending where I attack and dethrone god, so I can snuff out the Erdtree glow and plunge the lands between into darkness, and then my character can finally catch some zzz's.

It certainly looks like some herd animals. That would actually be a cool twist for a Souls game, seeing a living world which isn't just in a state of baroque decay

Seems legit, that looks like too much detail to fake even for a 30 second clip. Likely from an early build maybe?

If the sound is real too, ambient overworld (or just music outside of boss fights) in a From game isn't something I was expecting, although it isn't surprising really either.

Also I know it is an open world game, but honestly not sure I like the compass HUD thing with waypoints. I know it kind of a necessity of game design for huge open map worlds that you can easily get lost in, but I was hoping for some other kind of immersive element for finding your way around. I dunno, something like having it only viewable while your character opens up a map while you move around, kinda like Hollow Knight.

Hope you can turn off just that compass element from the HUD if you want, I'd like to really get lost. Then again, nothing else HUD wise is viewable there, so who knows.

edit: there it goes.

Missed the video but I hope any soundtrack this game has sounds eerie or off kilter. Getting sick of these games having fancy orchestral scores. Give me something weird

Sekiro had ambient music tracks, so it's not surprising Elden Ring might have them too, especially since we're probably gonna be spending a lot of time just kinda hanging around and there's gonna be more downtime between bossfights.

Wait that dude didn't just fall off the edge and die there, From Soft is really losing their touch if they seriously put invisible walls into the game.

I assume you're joking but sekiro has like a magneticness to the jumps if you're on a ledge and you kind of have to commit to yeeting yourself off

Also, falling into the abyss doesn't instantly kill you. They're basically pandering to the filthy casuals entirely at this point.

I hope there are lots of interesting monsters around the open world. I'm sure there will be, but the idea of wandering the spooky forest and happening upon something very hosed up and very powerful is exciting.
