Looks great to be frank

For comparison

 

[Dinkle]

Holy fucking shit the character models. This game just looks too good fml.

 

[DonJorginho]

This is Next-Gen.

 

[Birdo]

You'll only see the back of their heads in game

 

[EliteClarity]

Or Paul, Or John Or Emma

 

[TintoConCasera]

Models look good compared to previous entries, but nothing too next-gen either.

This. The only reason to fiddle around with the character creator is if you are going to fuck people over in multiplayer as Shrek.

 

[BlueXImpulse]

Face models aren't doing anything revolutionary, but that doesn't matter because it's not the focus of the game and it's highly customizable. Still looks good though and much better than any prior Souls game.

That's true, hopefully we can make some 4K grotesque abominations

I hope you like onions, boy

 

[Tripolygon]

Holy shit balls. My full price preorder is worth it.

 

[DaleinCalgary]

mostly true!

Ive never once done anything with a character creator in game.

 

[BlueXImpulse]

Photo mode looks jaw droopingly good.

There exists one filter for mimicking the tone of the PS3 original game.

This should shut up those overly concerned with the change in atmosphere.

 

[TonyK]

I don't know, but for me it looks very current gen. This face, specially the eyes are more close to Bethesda faces than Sony AAA faces.
But I understand that it's not fair to compare a unique character from a single player game, against a character made with an editor or even procedural.
How it compares with Dragon Age 3 editor?

 

[MiguelItUp]

Man. those models look absolutely impressive.

It isn't. So I would hope nobody is doing that.

 

[DavidGzz]

Wow, so I guess this isn't really a Souls game. Had me going for a while but the characters look too good.

On a serious note, damn, it looks amazing!

 

[TintoConCasera]

Yeah same here, those faces look like the average current gen face to me.

The armor looks nice tho.

 

[DonJorginho]

I would say that although the models aren't the most impressive aspect, they look much better than Bethesda models.

 

[Jaguar Victory]

Is fine. Better than what it was for sure.

 

[AJUMP23]

Just put a helmet on me and call it a day.

 

[Javthusiast]

Wanna bet this game will end up looking better than Elden Ring. xD

 

[Bartski]

OMFG

 

[BlueXImpulse]

For comparison

Wanna bet this game will end up looking better than Elden Ring. xD

From Software might get close to these graphics mid way through the Playstation 6 and Xbox Series X 2 generations.

 

[Tomeru]

Downplay: The Thread.

 

[Great Hair]

Looks nice (textures, polygon count), but not at a "Mustache" level (2015)

 

[JimmyRustler]

Holy shit, a Souls game where you can actually make a decent looking character. Now I've seen it all.

 

[DavidGzz]

Blue Point is making a dream game for me. It's coming together beautifully. You can use a bunch of different filters during game play as well. So cool

 

[HaveButOneLife]

Good lord. Character models look better than some fixed ones from this gen.

I just don't see myself having much fun with it.

 

[peetfeet]

Please Bluepoint, give me the option of a big long bushy man beard.

 

[cormack12]

oh my god, no excuse for FROM and thier bullshit creators next gen

 

[Traxtech]

Yeah cool, thanks Bluepoint.

Now I get to sit there with my god damn ocd creating my god damn ideal character instead of playing the game right away

 

[Handy Fake]

Please Bluepoint, give me the option of a big long bushy man beard.

Check the black dude bottom right in the presets.
And the serial killer second middle.

 

[Duchess]

"You died (and looked fabulous in the process!)"

 

[danielJackson]

I cant wait how damn ugly mutant mofo I can create

Ugly character = skeletons will flee screaming

 

[TintoConCasera]

You have to be as ugly as possible, it's the best way to assert dominance in multiplayer.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Compared to all other From games? yeah looks fantastic? Other than that, it's just like any other good character creator. The hyperbole around it is ridiculous.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

Photo mode:

 

[Phrixotrichus]

remember, don`t make your character black. If hollywood has taught us anything then that those always die first.

 

[Okamiden]

How it compares with Dragon Age 3 editor?

Also hair and details on armor are pretty subpar even for current-gen. Environments in this game are great, but again, characters not so much for some reason.

Can you give a list of other large rpg games that look better? Are you comparing this to games with single protagonists? Action games?

 

[Rolla]

Question for my EU PS5 gamers who wont have their PS5's until the November 19th.

When should we start our gaming media blackout?

 

[iHaunter]

They added all these features they didn't have to! BluePoint is such a top fucking tier remake company.

 

[GermanZepp]

Let's not forget the best thing of the character creation menu.

 

[N30RYU]

Since this is the more visited PS5 thread today I'll ask it here...

We have seen only unboxing right now (and DualSense+Astro)... when the NDA lifts for them to show us more content about the PS5? Since it's just 1 week away from release in USA... and two in EU.

 

[#Phonepunk#]

1 week from today, i can't believe it.

 

[Thirty7ven]

Character creation looks better than anyone could've expected, impressive how good it is.

 

[Rien]

that's the Nexus theme's little sister

What do you mean?

 

[Jadsey]

Looks fucking amazing.

Will spend 8 hours trying to recreate Craig.
