None of you here know your shit (Sorry for being rude). They are four King's FIeld games. KI 1 (1994), KI 2 (1995), KI 3 (1996) and KI 4 aka the only KI 4 game that the fromsoftware fanbase know (For some reason). OP comment is a little dumb (Apologies for the rude words but i must tell what i think). Souls series is a spiritual successor to King's Field. Uses almost the same design philosophy. One is in first person and its clunky, while the other is in third. Souls series is the KING'S FIELDs you want. If you are not satisfied. The first person mods for the Souls games exist. But they suck.

God I wish people were still making movies that look sort of like this. Conquest, Willow, Conan - hell, even Deathstalker! There's something so charming to these aesthetics. That said, for such visuals to work in movies you need an audience that watches them with the right mindset - that you need to fill in whatever the film can only suggest on your own. Viewer imagination as opposed to mind melting CGI exuberance. I'd argue that modern mainstream movies are conditioning audiences to no longer be capable of that.

Beautiful, melancholy, depressing and dark as it should be.

I love these more than any show on netflix

I've noticed something and nobody seems to point that out. All of these videos have monsters and fantasy elements that are made to resemble practical effects that don't look real. This seems to be one of the biggest differences between the old movies and modern day blockbusters. CGI always strives to be the most realistic it can and often lands in the uncanny valley but the practical effects are taken straight out of a stage play and everyone is aware of that. It's interesting that all new movies decided to fool the audience as much as they can. The props make it way more fun for me, I know it's just a movie made to entertain and it's honest about it.

Pretty much yes. Same thing goes for action scenes really which were more slow and choreographed like Conan unlike say Legolas in The hobbit. Souls games kinda started like this were your character still felt human, but lately even from soft is increasing power levels. Fantasy can be as bullshit as it likes, depends on genre, but classic fantasy looks better when people are not flipping around like in an anime. It makes ogres, cyclops, dragons more fearsome if all you have is human capabilities.

I disagree. To me CGI and practical effects don't overwrite the usefulness of the other. One isn't inherently better than the other. It depends on many things. Practical effects aren't always "practical" and as much as I also like them, they can ruin a movie just as much if not more than CGI if used poorly.

I just wanted to say that modern movies focus so much on how to make everything as realistic as possible with CGI and maybe some of them would benefit from that playfulness that practical effects often deliver. It seems to be mostly forgotten about, I'm not that much into modern fantasy movies so maybe I'm wrong and they are still used.

Shivers down my spine is the level we're at here. And thanks for letting me know that King's Field had synth music. They don't make them like that anymore.

Makin me feel nostalgic for something that never existed. Maybe these should become it's own movie someday, could do very well!

this is probably the coolest thing I've seen this entire year, amazing work!!

There's somthing about the AI semi-random, unsettling juxtaposition of elements (6 or 7 fingers per hand?!) that is PERFECT for the Dark Souls-Bloodborn setting. Damn, a film like this would be a masterpiece

That King's Field's music...

This music always fits on Dark souls video's

The dude at 00:50 has a badass weapon. It actually kind of makes sense from a functional stand point too.

this music will play in the humanity bad ending into the credits.

Wow, this is amazing! Thank you for making this!

I am now waiting for the fans to use all the new fancy AI tools to make a fully animated and voiced Elder Ring movie. And WE ALL know it will be done, will just take some years…or months

Ok so I woke up today with the music from this video stuck in my head. The problem is I didn’t remember what video/medium I heard this beat on so I’ve spent the last 3 hours retracing every video I’ve seen this past month until I found this… And I’m very happy to have found it because this beat is both creepy and epic. Just listening to it with my eyes closed I feel like I’m walking down a dark corridor alone after my entire party has been wiped out, I alone must continue down the dungeon corridor to face the horrific boss monster by myself, even if the chances of me surviving is low or non existent.

Beautiful.

2:36 Macaulay Culkin as a young Gherman, alongside the Doll in a Hunter's Dream. It's not EXACTLY like our timeline's Bloodborne, but I guess in 80s it had too vague graphics to say it's "visually too different" from something that most likely was an ASCII RPG in its own parallel universe
