Is this actually representative of the final game? I'm thinking it isn't. The official Elden Ring trailer looked much better than that.

I've been playing sekiro a lot and everything here looks like a downgrade. Kinda disappointed of the visual, but I'm sure the gameplay is going to shine.

Whoever says it looks great, is fucking smoking FromSoftware's ass farts or is honestly just blind. It's probably running on ps4 base but that looks fucking shit and nothing like the official trailer. I still trust FS but going open world was a bad choice IMO. Open world means there's going to be a lot of just uninteresting places to go and looking at that video it's looks boringly barren, visuals aside. The claustrophobic metroidvania was what made souls games incredible, not just the combat. Very meh on it.

Is it just me or does it look worse than DS3 and Sekiro :/?

Really hope it has lowered graphics settings or something.

I.... what? I don't understand your reply at all.

So you're saying that it looks like this because it's also releasing on previous gen? Meaning that it's not possible to have something better looking than this on ps4/one?
What about Red Dead Redemption, Horizon Zero Dawn and such? I'm just naming a few but there are even some ps3 games, when played on pc at high resolutions, that look much better than this footage of elder ring, so your reply doesn't really make much sense if it means what I think.

It's strange, sometimes it feels like when a new generation is out, people instantly forget everything about the previous one and think it looked like ps1 or something.

Also, I say it just in case because I can see replies incoming, I'm not saying Elden Ring has to look like Red Dead Redemption 2 or anything, I only gave examples to counter your argument about last gen not being able to provide better than this.

You are crying at xbone footage. Try harder.

No it doesn't. Compare it Sekiro or DS3 on xbone.

I refuse to believe this is representative of the final game, it looks pretty bad. Those rock textures, the way the character looks like he has no weight at all, the goofy way those two birds flew away at the exact same time using the exact same animation like someone just copy and pasted it there.

The art direction and gameplay is what makes this studio great, not its gfx.

The music sounds incredibly reminiscent of Jeremy Soule's work - so close in fact, that it almost sounds like it was ripped from one of the Elder Scrolls games...

Could someone have made this as a way to fool everyone into believing it was a real leak?

Looks horrible, what's the point of having a open world, if the world looks dead lol.

What are you smoking, how can you conclude the world is dead?

Yeah it looks a bit rough graphics wise, we can see the textures are not really of high quality. I also dont like how the world looks empty and dead, i understand what they are going for but its supposed to be their magnum opus, should have made a world with at least one town that feels like the open world rpg out there. At least a town with some life into it, some NPCs, quests, shops etc.. something new.
Other than that the game gives Dark Souls vibes with Sekiro smooth movements and it looks like it going to be great, hope its even better than Dark Souls or Sekiro but im starting to have my doubts now.

How can you conclude there are no towns or NPC's?

I'm just guessing at this point, based on the footages we have seen, it looks like there are no towns or NPCs, it looks like the whole world is a backdrop, its a setting just like Dark Souls a place with lore but no current visible timeline, thats what im getting from the footages, but time will tell, im happy to be wrong in this case, its 3 months and we will know. 🙏

Nahh Demon's Souls doesn't come close to the depth of any Souls game and according to From... Elden Ring is there most ambitious title ever.

Less pretty but(much) bigger scale>>>Beautiful and smaller

I totally agree. Just saying that I understand that for some people who played DS Remake it’s not easy to go back to From Software’s engine. To me, as long as it’s at dynamic 4K and 60 fps on PS5 I’m good.

All the games from this developer look really bad graphic wise

They definitely have weaknesses when it comes to overall fidelity, their human characters, and the character creator, but I don't think they look "really bad" personally.

Their art direction and environment design is god tier starting with Bloodborne and on to DS3, Sekiro. This leak just looks like it's missing lighting on foliage, particles, etc. Maybe it's the last gen version as people claim and it will look a bit closer to their recent offerings when it launches.

I'm a huge Souls fan and I'll probably get a lot of push back for this, but this looks really bad. And I'm not talking about the graphics. Why are the player character animations straight up copied from Dark Souls 3. Why does the jumping animation look so bad? Sekiro had a dedicated jump and it looks a hundred times better. Hasn't this game been in development for like 5 years? I already was worried about how this game has been featured so little, and now I'm starting to think this is why. Pretty much every modern Fromsoft game has been playable well before release. (Sekiro at trade shows. DS3, BB and DS2 had network tests. DS1 and DeS also at trade shows) Elden Ring comes out in 3 months and we have 1 trailer that consists of quick, close edited shots where you can't really glean too much of what the actual game play is like. And a 30 second leak. From this and everything we've heard, it looks like this game leans heavily on Dark Souls 3. And don't get me wrong, I love Dark Souls 3. It's my favorite of the Soulsborne games. But I'm not exactly hyped for playing Dark Souls 3 in an open world. Maybe the open world design of the game is absolutely amazing and I'll be wrong about my skepticism, I really hope so. But from the looks of it, it seems to be a much smaller step up in quality from there past games than I was expecting. Having said all that I'll give the game a fair shake, I've loved every From game for the past 13 years.

looks like another big empty world game. not surprised that it visually looks bad, as souls games always look pretty dated. hopefully the boss fights sell the game cus I am not feeling that big world.

Looking rough, like a PS3/PS4/PS5 cross gen game.
Still, design looks great as always, the glowing tree reminds me of the world spiral tree from Berserk.
