I had kind of hoped there would be more Elden Ring news to talk about at this stage, so I wanted to come up with a quick video and get through a ton of my secrets in storage. Next vid will likely be a Prepare to Cry on Latria, but I'm also working hard on the book for the next few months! Seriously, please click those links in the description and support all the creators I mentioned. They're all great additions to your sub feed.

    I'm almost positive that the old demon's souls wikidot had that info and I'm also almost positive that you can kill said birds with arrows. Not that trading one type of arrow for another is lucrative, even if they are white arrows, the amount of effort seems silly. But it's nonetheless a nice tidbit that didn't need to be a thing but totally is.

    That's because photorealism is a meme. You need to reproduce the sensual response to a real thing with its virtual corespondent, not reproduce the thing itself. For example the leaves of the trees in The Last Guardian are extremely good at this despite the textures being technically inferior to so many games.

    8:15 The only reason BluePoint manages to create those visuals is because they ONLY work on the visuals, the rest of the game was already done. The vast majority of the design work, from artwork to weapon and enemy choices to level design to balancing decisions were done by Fromsoft. It's unrealistic to expect a game studio to make both the games Fromsoft makes AND to have the look like BluePoint's, unless it's a studio the size of Rockstar. And even then, how many Souls games have come out since the last GTA's release?

We've seen from dev stories on for instance TLOU2 how this can be destructive to studios. from's clearly got a good and effective production pipeline down by this point. I'll be happy if they can continue producing games at the rythm and quality they've got right now.

    By the time Elden Ring is released, the same amount of time would’ve passed between Demon’s Soul and Dark Souls 3, and Dark Souls 3 and Elden Ring. We should be seeing the similar graphical leaps. Far too many games from its generation have improved their graphics while keeping their art styles. Similarly, new games have been released that have great graphics and art styles.

    @@dynamicflashy The hardware power leaps between those two generations are hardly comparable. In addition to that, you might have noticed that while the durations from DeS to DS3 and from DS3 to elden ring are the same, the first period gave us 4 games, while the second only 2. Do you know why? Because as games get bigger, more detailed, and more complex, as player expectations grow, the money and time needed to produce games grows exponentially. The risk taken by companies when producing AAA games such as these also grows, which is why you get less games, and why big publishers are moving away from premium AAA and into Freemium and mobile games, that are way less risky of an investment. Take some time to think about how your mindset is affecting this industry.

    @@Sagaan42 Okay, I've taken some time out to think about it and I stand by my statement. If Elden Ring won't be able to make the required leaps as expected, then it should be delayed. Demon's Souls remake and even Ghost of Tsushima's PS5 update has shown this generation can achieve terrific results akin to a "jump". Releasing a game with nearly the same graphical fidelity as a game from the early parts of the previous generation doesn't cut it. Sure, the core game should still be great, but I'm talking about its visuals.

    It's such an oddly comforting sensation to see these creators here after following them steadily throughout the past almost 10 years since I got into the Souls series, either through Vaati's recommendation or my own interest in dissecting the games. Illusory wall could upload a 40 minute video about mostly insignificant changes from Dark Souls PTD and Dark Souls Remastered, and I'd happily watch it multiple times. I assumed I would be alone in this quite niché interest in small details, and yet there's an overwhelmingly large amount of people who seem to similarly enjoy it. Maybe I am overthinking it, but this all feels like we're writing love letters to games of a similar nature that have touched us all on deeply emotional, mechanical, or otherwise layered level. I'm sincerely happy to be part of this, even if I am only a spectator.

    Even though the Demon's souls remaster has that higher graphical fidelity, I much prefer the artstyle and feel of Ds3/Sekiro/BB. Theres just something cartoony about the way things look in DeS remastered, the miners in world 2 look like they could be ratchet and clank enemies. I was honestly relieved when I seen Elden Ring and it looked just like fromsoft's previous 3.

    I get that the new content train hasn’t arrived at the station yet but it’s starting to feel like your art stuff is taking over the channel. I’m happy for everyone that enjoys it but for a person like myself that doesn’t, it’s a real slog. I often can’t tell that a video has 20+ percent of its content devoted to it by the title. It’s sometimes at the beginning and sometimes at the end and essentially unpredictable. I’m glad you have additional revenue streams for yourself. I’m glad that your Kickstarter was successful. It’s not for me at all and I wish it was a bit easier for me to navigate around that side of your content. Either it’s separated off into it’s own videos which are relatively clearly marked or it’s own entire channel. As it is now, instead of the excitement at the beginning of a video I used to have, it’s now replaced with scanning through the chapter names at the bottom of the video to see if I need to skip sections or can safely close the video before it’s finished because the final minutes are devoted to the art stuff. Again. I’m happy for you and the fans of it, I just would like an easier time navigating it. I assume there are others like myself that would also appreciate it.

    For #4: Bungie uses a similar trick in Destiny 2. In one of the boss fights of the Deep Stone Crypt raid, you face against Atraks-1 who is able to replicate himself, and the core mechanic of that fight is figuring out the real body among the many copies (otherwise it's a wipe). Well, some glitch masters of the community have found an enemy model placed out of bounds as a placeholder for the HP of the actual boss. Nice to know that it's not an uncommon trick among devs.

    Vaati, this past week has been an amazing week for me, I’ve been following Elden Ring since it’s announcement and have been eagerly awaiting the game. I’ve never played any FromSoftware games so I wanted to get my feet wet before Elden dropped. I asked a couple friends who are “Soul heads” (there label not mine haha) which game to try out, that they though was the best, both agreed Bloodborne. I downloaded the game and while waiting I wanted to brush up abit on this new world I was about to explore and stumbled across your channel…my gawd bro I felt like I hit the lottery! Your videos are amazing and I got sucked into the story/lore faster than any game. I’ve been watching all your videos for days now and look forward to many more from you when Elden drops. Just wanted to let you know you are doing a great job and thank you for helping me fall in love with Bloodborne.

    I really don’t think there’s anything wrong with From’s technical design of their games’ animations. It’s a design decision, not a lack of polish. Blue Point’s DeS looks gorgeous, but there’s something in its animation and art design that I find somewhat forgettable in that “new gen shininess” way that early next gen games tend to have. From’s designs and animations are distinctly them and I personally hope they never lose that spark.

    The Fifth King segment reminds me of a Raid in Destiny 2, Deep Stone Crypt. There's an encounter involving a bunch of clones, and outside the arena is a solitary, standard enemy that "stores" the boss's health bar. People used to be able to cheese the fight by glitching outside the arena proper and attacking this standard enemy.

    No, I'm sorry, there's absolutely nothing aging in Elden Ring's graphics or even Dark Souls 3 graphics. From Software is a small studio with a lot of limitations and they do a bunch of incredible shit with their resources, time constraints and limitations. Bluepoint has Sony's infinite money to create their shit, so they MUST pay attention to everything, different then Shadow of the Colossus that had attention to nothing. These guys are AAA devs, it's EXPECTED to be like that. I hope that these extremely quality graphics don't come to us by sacrificing human life or human ethics (I'm looking at you, Dan Howser) but if you have THIS amount of money, THIS amount of people and THIS amount of founding: You HAVE to make good use of it. So, yeah, unfortunately Vaaty, I disagree with you here. Nothing about From Software's games is aging. Except World Tendency... This thing... ... Oh my god. smh warflashbacks

    So fun fact about the bow bash from Des, the animation it uses is actually the 2h straight sword r2. The same thing happens in the remake. It defaults to the straight sword moves when you're performing moves that technically aren't in the game in a way. Something similar also happens in ds1 if you try to use the move swap glitch with a fist weapon and end up two handing it. Since in ds1 there is no 2h fist weapon moveset, it defaults back to the straight sword one instead.
