why is this stuff always captured on a potato.

 

[turntablekeepsonspinning]

If it is real when would it be shown?

 

[BlueXImpulse]

How do we know someone didn't just mod Dark Souls or create something in unreal engine and passed it off as Elden ring screens?

 

[godhandiscen]

Because if they were full res, it would be more obvious it was the marketing team.

New market strategy. Make it look leaked.

 

[brap]

Remember when 4chan leaked Beast Souls aka Bloodborne? I have some faith.

 

[Orpheum]

Because it would detract from Demon's Souls. My guess is they have a deal with Sony because of that. I assume it will be shown at the game awards

 

[DavidGzz]

Elden Ring of fire spell

 

[Rolla]

Looks like a screen from the witcher. Both the game and the netflix series but I can't quite tell.

 

[GymWolf]

It's only that image with the lava?? A little disappointed...

As a magic main in the Souls series, I sincerely hope that Elden Ring has some quality magic lore and gameplay. I know people love to hate it, but DS2 had such a cool adventure that linked the Abyss Divers and Hexes. I also love the Witches of Izalith and Pyromancy and demon lore. Its funny how few games and their developers really make a setting feel so cohesive. It enhances the immersion so well. I also love From's tendency to put secrets in their games. Its a blast trying to find them all.

I'm willing to bet the pic is real.

 

[Bartski]

That's the glossy, low-res back of a freaking FromSoft playable character with FromSoft cloth physics doing crazy new magic.

lmao

well that could be literally anything

EDIT:

hmmmmmmmmm

Dude saying you can't cast a spell while holding a sword? I guess he hasn't touched a Souls game..

My thoughts exactly. They will wait until DeS sales settle down, and some time after show the game. So I guess quite probably next year. Hopes we're wrong

 

[LisaMariaMartin]

Looks pretty bad graphically from what we can make out. Probably means is true

Read it, thanks. yes, all of this is predictable. I for once wanted awesome graphics, but we knew it's gonna be ps4/xbone gen so. Maybe an improved version a couple years later?

Also, if the cycle thing is real, originality will drown us all

 

[BlackM1st]

Can't see shit

 

[FrozenFlame]

Thing is, for each correct 4chan leak, there's like thousands of other fake claims... Besides, if I remember correctly, at least the Bloodborne leak had a multiple videos (webms?) showing gameplay.

 

[T-Barbs]

Hope the image is real.

But even more, i hope the game will use a decent engine this time... Tired of the bad frame pacing affecting the major part of their latest releases on consoles.

totally that's what I've been saying since Demon's Souls PS5 was officially announced. Also Elden Ring might simply not look as good graphically and they could be waiting to show the now worked on next-gen upgraded version. At the end of the day I'm more than ok with that, with DS and Cyberpunk in November there is no way I'll have time to play anything else 'till the end of the year and this way we might get a polished, next-gen (RTX?) release of Elden Ring down the line

 

[AetherMage]

Looks like Frodo is fighting Sauron.

 

[LazyParrot]

It's a battle royale game.

Where are we invading boys

 

[Airbus Jr]

Kylo Ren?

• Mentions leaked screenshots existing, probably refering to the one in this thread.

• PVE & PVP will be a big selling point of the game.
• You will join guilds and fight other guilds. Multiplayer missions in a similar vein as Chalice Dungeons but more fleshed out.

[Inviusx]

Holy shit, character, darkness and orange particles confirmed!

 

[DGrayson]

Looks like a photo of an EGM magazine PS1 game preview from 1997

 

[sxodan]

Gameplay reveal in the next two days? Nah, son.

 

[#Phonepunk#]

Gimme that gameplay.

 

[Holammer]

New market strategy. Make it look leaked.

Controlled leaks has been a thing in politics and the movie industry for a long time.

 

[DGrayson]

Switch release confirmed?

That reads well.

Kinda funny that the post appears to be him bitching about his art being stolen and misappropriated, and here it's happening again. Poor guy.
