The characters look incredible.

Although there was an appeal in the bizarre and ugly creations you could make in the original, this is undoubtedly a vastly better creation system.

Feels like a spit in the face of Miyazaki-sama's original vision. You were a fallen warrior in a dead world, not some super model. The terrible character creator in Demon's Souls perfectly captured this spirit while this looks like something out of a casual mobile game.
For the record guys, this a parody post of all the dudes who slob on anything lord Miyazaki breathes on, so don't take it seriously.
 
Elden Ring will have some big shoes to fill in order to be as good as this seems to be.
I don't think From is particularly worried about this. While this stands a really good chance of looking better than Elden Ring, Elden Ring is also going to be a much, much larger game, built on years and years of gameplay refinements. That's not really a put-down for Demon's Souls here, so much as it's taking stock of what the situation is and why From still has a hell of a lot to offer that this project won't be able to reach due to its nature as a remake.

From the article

" By the way, all filters are also available outside of Photo Mode during ordinary gameplay, including one designed to tune brightness, contrast and color levels to closely resemble those of the original PS3 game, for those who may prefer that classic look."

Was this already known. Very cool that you can apply filters during actual gameplay.
Yeah they said so in the interviews a while back

Sure, I was just referring the character creator, but I see that my post wasn't very clear.

I haven't played this game before. There a good chance you're gonna spend most of it under a helmet anyway?

Are you serious? You can still make characters as ugly and disgusting as you want.

Good looking Souls characters? BLASPHEMOUS

Nah jk, looks gorgeous
HOLY SHIT a good character creator in a Souls game!!
The character creator can make things that look actually human?

Good faces seem wrong. Hopefully you can still make a monster.

I know this is sorta a meme, but I love Souls creators and the results I've gotten from it

Blue point is missing the essence of demon souls. The characters you create are supposed to be ugly to symbolize hopelessness. You are meant to confuse the player character with a boss because both are ugly.

Demon Souls always had a different ugly vibe compared to Dark Souls and it is upsetting that bluepoint is missing the point of the original ugliness for us purists.

I played Dark Souls 3 as a drag queen. Let me be a queen Bluepoint.

That looks so good it almost feels wrong, haha. I wonder if Elden Ring can compete with these graphics? Probably not since it's cross-gen.

Also, I hope they didn't ruin the beautifully simplistic character creation music:

Edit: /s
You shouldn't have edited the /s in '-)

This is 9/10 now...

10/10 before!

Also Blue-point should just remake BB at this point. These graphics and create mode with 60fps Bloodborne gameplay plus all the DLC is pretty much BB2 as far as I'm concerned. Do it! Even on PS4 it's an already outdated looking in my opinion.

Soulsborne create a character can make decent characters of a certain type and that's it.

As a black person, let's just say I've never been satisfied with a Soulsborne character creator. Ever.

They said thousands more choices too. So if your goal is to make a fromsoft goblin as per tradition, maybe you can.

Worst part is that I can't tell if this is parody or not anymore on this website.

Bluepoint keep knocking it out the park.

Does Photo Mode mean we can essentially pause the game? 🤔
