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.

Jason is on a 1080, the other reviewer is on a 3080.

Jason probably running at 1080p and the other reviewer on higher resolution.

I would assume he's on 1440p atleast. Its also possible that "Maximum" preset doesn't justify the performance hit for its visuals. But neither of them specified the settings or resolution so who knows. And these are likely without the day 1 patch as well.

This game is also supposed to get some form of ray tracing post release lol

Smoother than ps5, ps5 is already at 55-60 right ? Unless he is comparing to quality mode.

Also, keep your expectations in check, From Soft. Never did graphics "right"

We don't know if 55fps is the lowest is goes as the video didn't cover much at all. And even in that small portion it can't maintain a locked 60fps, unless you move the camera to the ground, so the motion will be juddery. Maybe the day 1 patch fixes that.

I won't shy away from answering Necrokiller's questions 🤷‍♂️:LOL:

MIyazaki ko bhi recognition milna chahye. Let the BoTW sequel release in 2023. Either way, GOW Ragnarok will get crushed :LOL:🤜

Oh well 🤷‍♂️:LOL:
The real Elden Ring is so much like Dark Souls at times that it feels distracting
Dark Souls 2 and 3 were full of references to the previous games, but neither of them promised to be a whole new universe birthed in part from the mind of a famous fantasy author.
Elden Ring could have been anything, and yet, for an absurd amount of its length, it's disappointingly interested in reprising the Souls games, even if doing so puts it above so many other action RPGs.
Elden Ring is junk food for FromSoftware fans. It's more of what I already adore, but family sized.
As another Souls game, I love Elden Ring, but as the latest game from FromSoftware, I wanted it to dream a little bigger.

As far as combat goes, Elden Ring is certainly closest to Dark Souls 3 when compared to other games in FromSoftware’s library of action-RPGs

Elden Ring doesn't even have as much of a unique flavor to it compared to Bloodborne or Sekiro. In many ways, Elden Ring feels more like a straight Dark Souls game than I ever expected it to.


Oh well 🤷‍♂️:ROFLMAO:

I've played it, and it's more responsive than Dark Souls 3, and has a jump button too. Nothing like having my own hands-on impressiooons 🤷‍♂️:LOL:

Though, it seems like Necrokiller has more fundamental issues with the "tired" Souls formula 🤣

Says a lot when the gold standard to compare to is a 5 year old game that's on the verge of receiving a sequel 🤷‍♂️:LOL:

Not that Elden Ring exceeds or even matches BoTW in every area. Traversal mechanics could've been better, but the addition of a jump button is a good start 🤷‍♂️

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.
