Elden Ring Final Previews have dropped!!! (7 Hour Gameplay Previews from the Final Build)
- Thread starter DominicanGlory
- Start date
THANK YOU! I have his video queued up because his thumbnail said "But I don't want to spoil it". Not long from now guys and gals! Keep that spirit strong!
I wouldn't mind seeing just the character creation options and the class stats, but I wouldn't think such a video would exist by itself. If someone wouldn't mind sharing the stats on all classes, that will be fantastic!
I'm trying to go in pretty blind but has anyone said how performance is on Xbox series X or Ps5?
They were playing Sifu and Horizon.
Imran tweeted this ''I love that feeling of playing a game and going "Okay yeah this is a GOTY contender." and day later said it was talking about Sifu.
YouTube digital foundry elden ring. They did a performance analysis of each version in the closed network test.
tldr: ps5 performamce mode is between 1520p and 1800p and fluctuates between 50-60fps. 4K mode is solid but fluctuates between 30-45ish FPS. No real graphical differences between the two modes sans resolution. Series x performs a bit worse than this with lower dips.
no idea if anything was changed to get better performance. It seems like running around quickly on the horse is what gives the biggest dips
Game looks almost too overwhelming for me in the sense that I'm afraid of where I should go or what I should do.
i used to have this reaction to open world games and all I can say is, don't worry about it. Just play and explore and go where your fancy takes you. There seems to be some diagetic guidance mechanics a la ghost of Tsushima, so if you want to just follow the critical path, you can.
Some of Easy Allies impressions already getting me worried.
Mentions that at least one boss has been reused. Boss reuse was the weakest thing about the Chalice Dungeons from Bloodborne, and it seems to be likely that some of these smaller dungeons will have a pool of similar bosses to be retrofitted.
It was expected but it's good to hear, can't start a Fromsoft game unless my character is almost naked.

They're all shown here. Though in the background the official footage is played which shows some light spoilers maybe.

i mean in BOTW there were like 20 fight based shrines that all had the exact same enemy but with a different weapon. having a pool of reusable mini bosses with interchangeable weapons or move sets for the mini dungeons when there are plenty of fully realized actual bosses is the LEAST concerning thing imaginable.
My two open world concerns are still density (which previewers seem very bullish on) and cheating myself out of some great encounters due to unintentional overleveling from exploring in a different order. Like turning Artorias into Pinwheel or just waltzing through an an area unchallenged.
alright people
I don't want to read the previews. But I do want to know their inclination.
On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being extremely positive and 1 being extremely negative, how positive are the previews, overall?

Gameinformer from the other week was a 15/10
These are all 9,9/10 or full marks.
Definitely between 9 and 10. Very few concerns, if any. Lots of rumbling about setting a new standard for From games.
If you loved bloodborne, I have no idea why you'd have any difficulty here. You have a million more tools and way more flexibility at your disposal.
OK thank you.
That's an clear answer.
Only main difference in my life now is.
I have two kids.
But thanks man.
I know what to do now!
*cautiously going through the thread*
Well there are a lot of tools at your disposal, which might not necessarily make it easier but less frustrating and you can go wherever you want, so if you are stuck on a boss or area you can just go somewhere else in the meantime. I haven't played Bloodborne but since you did I don't think you'll have any problems as this game was made as a good entry point for newcomers.

Not a man, but you're totally welcome.
I've yet to have any kids to hamper my gaming life, but just know that unlike bloodborne you now have, shields, stealth, a robust magic system, summoned npc helpers, a horse and horse combat, a relatively robust ranged option for pulling and cheesing enemies.
If you beat bloodborne, you'll be fine.
Thanks for the heads up, I appreciate it. I'll be avoiding these previews then; I got a nice tease from the Game Informer gameplay clips anyways.
That's always been a thing. Half the bosses in DS1 became regular enemies at some point (in the main game, not optionally), and some regular enemies show up multiple times. I guess it depends how frequent it is here.
Forget numerical scores.
Ask yourself: when was the last time a FROM IP missed the mark?
The game is going to be incredible. Rest assured.
Looks like I'm going Prisoner for that sweet Spellsword build.Elden Ring - Character Creation | Classes | Origins | Gifts

I don't mind bosses becoming enemies, NES games did that. I am getting big Chalice Dungeon "they created a pool of bosses just used for this side content and there will be nothing but repeats. If we're already seeing they're repeating bosses in the Limgrave area, each biome will have repeated bosses in these dungeons to some capacity. I now worry unique bosses in these smaller side spaces may not actually be a thing and that unique bosses will only be in visually discernable areas in the overworld. I was hoping they'd learn hard from Bloodborne, because that approach is easily the weakest spot of the game, as it feels like padding.
I wouldn't be too worried really. The enemy variety in this game will be off the charts.
God of War 2018 reused the elementals and troll bosses constantly, but that game is still 10/10 and a masterpiece.
With a world this large, some things will be repeated, even from other FROM games - i.e. the crabs from Dark Souls 3 making an appearance.

Thank you! I will stick to the wiki page for this one!
Prophet or the hero seem like the best for a strength/faith (+pyro) build hmmm, provided that arcane investment is good for scaling of miracles and/or pyro. Any recent word on the arcane stat??
Might be joining y'all... Always been a DEX first/INT second kinda player. Though I'm also eyeing the Astrologer.
Its probably both. Challice dungeons had a mix of existing and unused bosses. As long as there's unique loot and level design im good. If they had 50 unique bosses for optional side dungeons the game might have taken another few years lol
Yeah, I'm not usually sensitive to light spoilers but that FextraLife vid goes into far too many details about new areas, enemies, biomes, etc., that I honestly just quit.
In all fairness, he does warn about spoilers at the start of the video but I wasn't expecting it to be that heavy lol
Just pick whichever sounds the coolest to you. Your starting skill points won't matter that much.
