sekiro was extremely tightly balanced and put together. elden ring is not, I don't think this is going to work like they want it to unless they make more severe changes

it just sounds like you have a damage scaling cap that is increased by defeating bosses or something

you pick talents/perks in a skill-tree instead of like +vit/+dex/+int/+sex level-ups

I think they mean it like the beads and memories, not the skill tree. so instead of pumping vit, defeat x bosses for an hp increase. instead of putting points in your damage stat defeat a big boss.

I LOVE SEEING DEAD BABIES ON 𝕏, THE EVERYTHING APP. IT'S WORTH IT FOR THE FOLLOWING TAB.
I like that Limmy had a joyful time going through DS2 and DS3 and but raged at Sekiro, quitting at the general miniboss before the snake valley. Having played it recently, it did induce a particular rage when it wasn't clicking, maybe because you lack alternative ways to do things.

Being able to endlessly grind levels has a storied history in RPG games. If damage and max HP are gated behind progression and it means your only option is to get gud, that's somewhat of a departure from the dark souls/elden ring series. I also tend to give FROM the benefit of the doubt though. Sometimes I like to leisurely over level a character and laugh at big numbers, other times go for a minimum level run so I can be a summoned and help people with later areas. I do like how Elden Ring basically left it up to you, the player, how/when to progress so it will be interesting to see how different the expansion makes things. Perhaps an alternate weapon arts style skill tree in addition to putting stats in str/dex/vigor/endurance? Haven't played sekiro so you all probably have a clearer idea.

yeah, you zone into a new area and suddenly you lose all your stats or they revert to a default value? just watching your healthbar shrink or grow would be jarring. seems farfetched

Considering in how many ways this is DS2 2, I wouldnt be surprised if it is more like giant souls and Vendrick

yeah it'll probably be some sort of scaling to the enemy stats.
I kinda get where they're coming from, because rolling through the dlc with my end game character would be boring, but at the same time starting a new character in a game like elden ring is a huge time investment.

Which is weird because it sold well and people were very fond of it, pretty sure it sold almost 7.5 million copies and for a while you couldn't mention the ps4 without someone telling you to play Bloodborne.

I imagine lots of people would love to play it on PC, at 60+fps, even without much remastering just some basic quality of life PC port magic that Japanese devs do so well

you can already play it 60 or 30 without framepacing issues if u got a modded ps4 or ps5, so it's some issue where either sony doesnt want to pay from to work on it, or theyre constantly holding out in hope to remake it down the road
or i dunno, from just doenst want to do it because it's an old project and they've cleaned their hands of it

My greatest gaming fear is they announce a Bloodborne remake instead of just a higher framerate port.

Demon's Souls remake was made by people that did not understand the original at all.

The environments, lighting, etc. in Bluepoint's remakes are great but they struggle with character models imo. Wander had a hosed up face in the SOTC remake and in the Demon's Souls remake there's a weird claymation quality to all the facial animations. The other big fuckup is just over-designing characters for no discernable reason. Selen Vinland is a prime example. The remake does have a great character creator (probably better than any of FromSoft's) but eh.

it's a weird remake because they changed the artstyle so much and yet devote such lavish devotion to the way it played on the ps3 that it feels like you should be able to swap in real time from graphical styles like the halo games or the new tomb raider remasters, but u cant.

I didn't know until recently that Sony owned the Bloodborne IP and just assumed they had some kind of permanent exclusivity deal with FromSoft, but that's not the case. If there was ever a PS5 support patch for higher framerate and resolution I assume Sony would have to hire FromSoft to do it or get their approval for another party like Bluepoint to remaster it, similarly to the MGS remasters on PS3. Maybe they want Bluepoint to remake it by the end of the PS5's life cycle but hopefully not. Hell I'd pay full price for just a remaster because Bloodborne is worth it.

evey demons souls ps3 vs ps5 comparison just looks like the remake tried to make it look more like dark souls. if anything it's less cartoonish than the original
