It showed what was possible, and there's no real reason From couldn't match it.

expecting from software to make a game as graphically excellent as the demons souls remake is kinda ridiculous. bluepoint had the luxury of having every design and gameplay mechanic built for them already. they also had sony breathing down their necks to produce a game that made the ps5 look amazing (they succeeded).

from is a different dev studio with a totally different set of strengths than bluepoint. games aren’t made magically by throwing money into a bucket and having a thing come out, there are people and teams and management involved that are going to vary hugely across the industry. from software is still working with an iteration of their original demons souls engine because they know how to make good games with it, but it definitely is not capable of pushing visuals like bluepoint does.

I'm not trying to ruin anyone's parade. But man I feel like this seems like a lazy "port" almost? Like, I'm noticing some animations and character models that are beyond a straight rip from Dark Souls.

I'm in a weird situation where I'm a dark souls fanatic, we're getting a everything-in-name-only new dark souls game that is way more kinetic and I'm down, I'm ready. I'm a fan. But I'm annoyed that they're kinda doing the Call of Duty thing where they just reuse assets and sounds in a bad way and clearly just slapping GRRM's name on it to boost sales.

as far as i can tell ya elden ring is just a lazy reskin of the worst parts of dark souls 2. Very sad to see a developer fall from grace like this, but i suppose this is just the way it goes in these dark times.

sounds like you might actually get a map you can open and look at. there was also mention of being able to place some sort of markers. knowing from software, the marker will probably be an item you actually put into the game world rather than a big obnoxious hzd style waypoint on your map/hud, but who knows. I’m curious to see how they’ll handle it

In Japanese Rom was the Retarded Spider. Wonder if that person would've been upset with that change.

Lmao

quote:

Japanese - 白痴の蜘蛛ロマ [hakuchi no kumo roma]
English - Rom, The Vacuous Spider

白痴 [hakuchi] - a curious word that contains the kanji 痴 [chi] - stupid, foolish. The word as a whole denotes idiocy, mental retardation and generally points at some king of cognitive impairment. English localization chose "Vacuous" when the more accurate word would be "idiotic". "Vacuous" does have the meaning of "to demonstrate the lack of intelligence" though, so I guess it fits in this sense.

Patiently waiting for the Elden Ring backlash to begin.

the elden ring contrarians will rise from the swamps in due time. their anguished cries, oozing disgustingly

“dark souls 2 had better combat”
“the music is not nearly as memorable as DeS”
“the open world feels bland compared to horizon forbidden dawn”

yeah i love the demons souls soundtrack. there’s a sad, ambient kind of vibe to the tracks that just hooks into me. the bombast of the later game soundtracks also rule, but DeS evokes that mysterious forlorn feeling so well

The PC requirements are to shut the hell up and talk about what kind of skeletons there will be and how cool the swords will be.
