I await the results of how these characters look in creation window vs how they look during gameplay. Hoping it will not be like Dragon Age Inquisition *fingers crossed*



Presumably they will start off by being modelled after the high poly renders we saw during loading screens and then additional flourishes may be introduced:

As a point of comparison-

Newer in-game/in-engine version:

As for (most of) the rest:

yeah it's fun. I especially like invading, not for griefing (if I see a person that clearly just isn't into it I leave) but for the fuckery of playing the hide and seek and messing with the environment. Also lots of funny situations with pvp and coop lol

I'm always be sour about Wander's bloated/puffy face, but this looks fucking grand. I know how I'll be spending the first 2 hours next Thursday on release.

They 100% are. The whole series has this weird otherworldliness to it that Bluepoint is stripping out of the game. The enemy and environment designs have been butchered in the same way. They're taking all this stuff that's supposed to be weird and alien and wrong, and making it literal and realistic.
lol

I can't wait to make my usual Souls game disgusting freak character in higher definition than ever before!

What are you saying? This is a beauty! Look at those big eyes and luscious lashes, the rosy cheek glow, aristocratic nose and chiseled jawline.

OMG Black characters look good, I don't remember what mine looked like in Demon's Souls PS3 but this character creator look so much better. Ahhhh, must resist.

Let them remake Bloodborne for PS6 or something.

This looks mad. I've always worn helmets though so I probably won't bother with it too much on my first play though.

Looks like the in-game UI is also very clean and 'Skyrim'/'Neverwinter Nights'/'Bloodborne' like:

As seen with the 'You Died' and Character Creator / Photo Mode.

Yikes, aside from the eye that looks like temp programmer art. Newer Souls/Bloodborne games were just as simple but at least added little details to retain some sort of character or sense of the world. This is just maybe a minute in photoshop with the shape tool. I'd expect this from an NES game.

Nah. From's published hundreds of pages of concept art featuring the same slightly alien, weirdly proportioned characters. It's not a budgetary or technical issue. It's intentional.
Dark Soul's had some face types which looked more like old school depictions of fantasy characters like how old elves look alien but Demon's Souls just had normal looking people based off the real world. I do think these people look like they are in way too perfect or good of shape though.
