If you enjoyed Demon Souls you ought to enjoy this a lot more if it even comes close to living up to the hype. Demon Souls is a remake of one of their older games with not much changed in the gameplay. The games they made in the years after really improved on Demon Souls and this being the latest and most ambitious has the potential to be their best.
I think he said on his blog he have only written a bit here and there for them, the background and the world. Practically, his influence will probably be marginally and it's more a marketing stunt, getting a huge name on board for selling more copies. I wouldn't expect too much influence of his work.
As others have pointed out, it's totally fine to just not get the hype. It's definitely not for everyone.
And this is bad because…?
Yeah. People are gonna have whiplash switching from horizon straight to elden ring. I'll probably wait for the ray tracing patch before jumping in.
Play DS1/3 and you'll understand. They're cheap enough.
I personally find Elden Ring's visuals much, MUCH more attractive compare to Horizon, there is more to game's visuals than just raw graphics.
If you have a PS5 and PS+ you could download Bloodborne right now at no additional cost and see if it's right for you.
At the risk of sounding like and pedantic ass , one dude answered a similar question with this kind of response 'if you don't know what makes from games good by now you are not going to get why the hype'. To add some more and more politely i would say this.
It was only a matter of time someone pulled out the "raw graphics" deflection. .
From what little I played of the network test, that wont be the case. It's easy to find a dungeon or something cool like a miniboss or treasure the moment you start exploring a bit.
For me the aesthetics is way more Important, doesn't matter how high tech the graphics is if I'm not liking it's aesthetics then all that tech means shit.
Fromsoftware art style and world design 1000% better that anything from guerrilla. Guerrilla top notch graphics though.
I think it means world building in the literal sense. This is From's first open world title and George is well known for having built an intricately detailed Westeros world.
I put about two hours into Forbidden West before uninstalling it and it wasn't because it was bad. It's because I want to save my time in the third person open world for next week.
Isn't this for PS5? Sorry then
I'm gonna play horizon eventually. Having finished the first one I know the graphical spectacle we are for. The robots are the real stars of the game. Maybe I will wait until i get a ps5, having said that, Fromsoftware games are unmatched.
I recently watching this show and I admit the world building is pretty cool but I'm not sure I'm actually liking the story itself, I feel my issue with GoT is similar to TLOU2, which both trying way too hard to shock me rather than telling meaningful story, I have zero love for any of its character except one.....I think it means world building in the literal sense. This is From's first open world title and George is well known for having built an intricately detailed Westeros world.
The graphics on PS5 were very detailed, but every time the game got deep all I could think about was Elden Ring. It made my Forbidden West experience a lot less rewarding and I just wasn't getting much out of it. No sense in rushing it. Yeah, once the robots show up, you get to experience their AI moving around, and things come to life a bit more. I wanted a Sentinel fight instead of a robot.
Imagine saying this in a time where we've just had Sifu, Forbidden West and KOF XV drop.
Not in GAF, I mean just look at the most recent threads here, most of them is about graphics. Unfortunately in here graphics has more value above everything else.
Do you like candy crush?
Sounds like a plan—it'll be called cinematic mode because it will run at 24fps
Youre right. Art direction is unbelievable.
Ehh I beat Sekiro with motion interpolation on my 4k tv. Bring it on.
And most of the time the games with great art direction are the ones age the best.
I got the same feeling. This game looks exactly like a killer Zelda game with Dark Souls flavor. We could be looking at a future GOAT candidate here.
What is there to discuss? This game is as hard as DS3 but it gives you alot of freedom on how to handle these encounters.
Difficulty of souls games is severely overblown, mostly by fanboys, who feel themselves special by playing such "hardcore" games. They are just slightly harder than average. Yeah if it's your first time you may have some difficulties, but if you already finished one of them you will breeze through others without a hitch. Their main difficulty before was lack of basic QoL features, and in the last games they started to move away from this kind of shitty gamedesign. Also devs said in interviews that this will be their most accesible game to date, because with OW you have plenty of choice where to go, and you can come back later to the areas which you can find difficult. In the end of the day it's an action RPG, there are no problems that you can't solve with leveling up, or good old grind)
