The only place where I was even noticing it was the extremely dark starting area. The game looks fucking fantastic otherwise.
I'm far too invested in these games to get hung up on a few shimmering edges.

Yes, the game has aliasing problems. But its a FROM game. I expected technical issues (and still do like FPS problems). If that's a deal breaker, then you probably want to stay away from Bloodborne. Its not a good answer, but if aliasing is a deal-killer, I doubt this game's final build will appease you.

Opened the video, skipped to 5 minutes in, watched about 2 minutes, closed the video.
Yep, that's all I need to see for now!
The level geometry is pretty amazing. Art direction in general looks great. I don't really care about the jaggies, I'm more concerned about the game maintaining 30fps. I played through Demon's and Dark just fine on PS3, but big frame drops DO impact the playability. This looks reasonably smooth... I guess we'll have to wait until release to really know.

You mean that people that did like Skyrim didn't like DS and the otherway?
It may be that.
In fact I know no one who did like both games. May I readed some thread long ago with this question.
It's not a deal breaker, but it deserves to be criticized. Heavily.

The Witcher III releases 2 months later and don't think they are targeting the same audience.
No dealbreaker at all, but I agree with the people mentioning the AA.
There are plenty of clean looking games. This is just FS setting other priorities and/or being bad at optimization. You really do not have to explain to people consoles have a set limit hardwarewise, but this game does not look all that hot for the PS4 to be honest.
That said, I hope they fix it (not expecting it, though).

So you're criticizing an old build that has most likely been improved upon?
When someone says The Order is expected to be the minimum standard going forward -- yes, you really do need to explain to them the basic principles of hardware limitations.

This is the same area I and others have played at conventions, except with different time of day. It didn't have the cutscenes and some extra passages like here, but you could change character classes. I was hoping they'd show a build with a better framerate as this is the same 24fps I played many months ago.
There is, man.
There is, man.
Considering that's what we have to work with, yes. Why should a game be immune from criticism before it's done? If anything, that's the best time to give feedback.
The lanterns. There was a pop-up at the first he encountered (7:00) saying that he would respawn there upon death.

I love Pokken!

Looks to be lamp post looking things. Seems to work exactly as bonfires did regarding checkpoints.

Do you folks know if pyromancy/sorcery/miracles/hexes are in the game? I love playing as pyromancer. I am so used to playing Souls game with shield. Dodging is going to be interesting.

Doesn't really hold up. I know loads of people who like both. I think the case is that they both appealed to the niche fantasy gamer (though Skyrim has its foot in the water of many different demographics), a hardcore audience willing to spend money on multiple games within a short time frame.

The hunters dream lamp which sends the player back to the dream refuge looks like the bonfires
Maybe magic comes out of this

There's hints that magic will be present in some form, the latest indication

Y'all soft. I'm excited for this game. Been playing since
Demon's Souls. Still watched. Game looks incredible.
Mah man.
Okay, I've folded and started watching. My reasoning was 'Would I be bothered if Northern Undead Asylum/Firelink Shrine/Undead Burg was ruined for me' and my answer was no.
Game looks effing incredible. How can people be bothered by some jaggies when such a great looking game is on show? The brilliant VA, amazing environment/character and enemy design.
Ahh! Cannot wait.

lol you're welcome
My point was the Souls series have a smallish but dedicated fanbase that will buy it no matter what game release around it. Also I liked both DS and Skyrim, guess that means I'm special.

Pretty much. Despite looking rough it's still clearly a big leap from their last gen output, I'm fine with it.
There seems to be certain series (Souls, Zelda, Smash Bros) where if you express criticism, many will choose to "fight" your criticism. I imagine it's because people think you're "shitting" on their favorite thing, and that you lack good faith. At worst, you'll be described as toxic, the current buzzword for negativity.
It's a losing battle. You mention a problem, people scoff. The problem becomes fixed, people scoff at you as a disbeliever. The problem isn't fixed, people still scoff at you as demanding too much.

Love the game and art design. Technically (framerate, IQ, shadow casting lights) is pretty horrible.

Except if the user puts lofty expectations on what games should be able to achieve just a year or so into the console's lifetime. Especially from developers who have a history of focusing on gameplay over graphics in the last three releases.
Feel free to criticize the graphics of any game, don't say "X" should be standard from here on out....it is unreasonable.
it's always funny when people complain about a fromsoft game lacking AA or having a dodgy framerate like they're supposed to be technical wizards now.
guys, when demon souls shipped it was so unoptimized they had to DISABLE SHADOWS just to make it playable. like, there's no one saying you can't be critical, but be realistic with your expectations. that goes for the people saying "just wait for the final build! it'll get better!" it probably won't.

Yeah. It's pretty fugly. Animations are pretty bad too. I'm sure it'll be a great game for fans of these types of games, though.

Nope. I'm not going in "blind" but I'm not going to have the intro spoiled for me either.

What does this mean
Fucking ugly.
Haha, I love the Souls series, but I don't think it's lofty to expect AA solutions from Fromsoft, who clearly are doing quite well financially, and have more power to work with.
Obviously it's a matter of priorities in the development, but if someone feels that the priority should have been invested a bit more elsewhere, that's fair. You don't claim immunity to tech improvements in a competitive market that's increasingly demanding tech improvements.

They looked very janky especially early on in the video. I've come to expect that with most Japanese developed games, though.
The F stands for a bad word.

I don't think its the actual intro. It's a brief in-game scene before you start playing. I would expect a typical FromSoft CG intro before this.
