Elden Ring [OT] Shadow of the Erdtree expansion announced











"As somebody who's played all of Miyazaki's games over at least the last decade, this is clearly the most ambitious game that he's done," he says. "I mean, I love his games, but seeing some of the gameplay mechanics stuff that he's tackling, he and the team are tackling this time, of the setting, working with another creator in terms of story. I love it."

The other creator Spencer mentions is, of course, Game of Thrones author George R. R. Martin, who has worked on the story for the upcoming open world game.

According to Spencer, Elden Ring is Miyazaki "expanding his horizons." He also says that leaves the room while Spencer plays. "I think that's because I'm a bad player, and then when he comes back we'll have a conversation about things that I think," he says. "He's so passionate about what he does. It's one of the things I just love about getting to work with him on some of these games and seeing them come to our platform."

"expanding his horizons."

This is exactly what I want from From Software. Breaking away from the tired Souls formula got us Sekiro so this sounds great. Really hope we get to see gameplay soon.

Ah man, got kicked out from the server due to the time limit coming to an end, just as I was about to take down Agheel the lousy ass dragon. All he ever does is breath fire, and occasionally tries to ram into you or go airborne for a splash. Laaaaaame 🤷‍♂️:LOL:

Saw a few of the network test videos on youtube and it feels that the game is trying to instill a sense of discovery akin to BOTW and that is so so excited. At least this is what i gather from the first impressions of the network test. @CerebralTiger, since you've been playing it your self please share your impressions of it.

PS5 in performance mode is the best performing console version 🤷‍♂️ :LOL:


@CerebralTiger, since you've been playing it your self please share your impressions of it.
I did get some BOTW vibes in terms of discoverability (the map is vaguely marked with points of interest, but you aren't guided to the exact location), but interactivity with the world isn't on the same level. It's still pretty good, though; about what you'd expect from an open world Souls game. Not only can you jump, but your horse can double jump! These things take away a lot of frustration associated with traversal that you'd generally encounter in other open world games.

Going to explore some more in session 3 and share more impressions.

.
LOL @ best performing version when no console version consistently hits 60fps :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

The framerate is unlocked on all 3 platforms. This causes a rather irregular fps rate. PS5 has a more stable framerate than Series X, but in none is it stable.
If I were you, I'd worry more about potential stutters in the PC version, what with this being From Soft's first open world game and all 🤣
Who should be worried now? :LOL:

Series X/PS5 quality modes are running mid-30fps. Ooof

Not sure why the Quality mode is running unlocked, a locked 30 FPS is way better than an unlocked 30~50.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
