I have to wonder what would have to change for it to not seem so similar to Dark Souls for you?

Elden Ring leaked gameplay footage (small clip)
- Thread starter NediarPT88
- Start date
I think this game will disappoint based on what we've already seen, but this thread is insane.
Like, it's 28 seconds of a version that barely anyone will play of an unreleased game.

Thats kind of a difficult question to answer because I'd also have to start singling out the many converging and pervasive mechanics and design choices that make Souls games what they are.
Sekiro is a drastically different game.
Completely off topic, but I would love for from to try their hand at 3rd person survival horror. CoughSilentHillCough
I think they're one of the few devs who could get the atmosphere and story absolutely right with thay sort of game while actually making it engaging to play.

Well there are tons of people, even in this thread, who feel Sekiro is not thay different from Souls. What would you tell them made it stand out from Dark Souls? A jump button, stealth, the grappling hook, aesthetics?
For the record I agree with you thay Sekiro is drastically different from Souls.
I've already kind of elaborated on that in the thread. It still has half of its foot in Souls but does enough to carve out its own identity, which was very refreshing after DS3.

Disagree with Sekiro. It’s less about grinding and leveling up and more about figuring out the rhythm the game wants you to play by. It’s much more of a character action game with heavy rhythm elements and is a very tight and focused game in a way that none of the souls games are as a result...

"Maybe if I keep spouting hyperbolic nonsense people will notice me!"
What's so shocking about that? Hyped up games disappoint all the time.
From Software doesn't miss, and nothing we've seen of this game would lead anybody to believe this will be their first
You can't tell the quality of a game just from a walk cycle and a couple of birds? Pretty weak, I have to say.
Ah I get it. So you wanted a massive departure from Souls like Sekiro was in terms of combat mechanics.I've already kind of elaborated on that in the thread. It still has half of its foot in Souls but does enough to carve out its own identity, which was very refreshing after DS3.

Have you not kept up with news? We've known for a long time this game would be more in line with From's ARPG catalog with regards to combat.
Oh no, I'm well aware. Honestly I'd like to see From depart from this entirely.
Doesn't have to be cutting edge. 4k 60 fps of whatever dark souls 3 was with better character models and we gucci.
The screenshots they released look great.
This is Fromsoft. Even their one game that went through absolute dev hell turned out good. They're not really the type to disappoint.
It's the third game of a "series", What did you expect? a complete turn in direction?
that doesn't work, and it's proven in other series where they started to change direction and formula between games.
Also, FROM did said that reason they ended the series with DS3 is because they no longer can push the series further (assuming without alienating the series) and it is something appreciated.
so this when Elden Ring came in, to do things weren't able to do in Dark Souls series.
as for the world template, they did said they doing their thing since the reveal of the game, and Japanese devs always have their own approach in open world games (botw, SotC, MGSV), pretty sure FROM is no different.
Oh okay so you knew, just wanted to complain a bit, I got ya lol.
Hopefully from does venture into different genres like I mentioned a above. I think they definitely have the talent(mechanically and design wise. Graphically may hold them back which could be a reason they don't do it.) Would definitely make people happy who want something completely new.
Yup, same. I've played enough From games to know they're outstanding even if they don't have the most advanced visuals. I'd much rather play an amazing game that's not the most visually cutting-edge than play a game that's gorgeous but bland as hell to play.
That said, anyone who says this looks bad is blind. It looks fine.
It's a From game, I'm in. 1440p - 144 FPS on my desktop and 1080p - 60 FPS on my Steam Deck is all I ask for.
Look if there's one thing imma do it's complain 😂
I'm actually not really concerned about the visuals and I think it's silly people are losing their minds over xbox one gameplay.
I got you. Tbh I think its best to wait and see. I dont think From would have ended Dark Souls if they wanted to just turn around and do the same thing in a bigger world. There's for sure gonna be alot of new stuff to surprise us, no doubt. I trust Omnipotent on that.
I mean I'm still gonna get it most likely. I'm just really reserved on it.
OP
OP
The way the world is put together reminds me of genshin impact, the vibe is very breath of the wild, and the gameplay is dark souls?
gimme that impact of the souls asap
gimme that impact of the souls asap
when was the last time From has missed? i think a lot of people would eat a hat if elden ring somehow came out to be a "disappointment" people that been playing these games all these years know what there getting into
sure if you want to talk about visuals and next gen but that ant what from is known for what they lack in graphics they make up for in visual design
Jumping
Crafting
Stealth
Improved archery
Horse riding
Horse combat (apparently preferred against bigger enemies)
Open world full of hidden dungeons and npcs that give context on the story
more ending than other souls games some of which are probably influenced by those npcs
Dynamic Weather
Day/Night cycle which changes enemy positions and behavior
Wildlife you can hunt for mats
Skill system that isn't tied to weapons anymore
Largest variety of weapons and armor and probably magic
Roaming enemies as well, colossal monsters in the open world
Massive underground area that interconnects pretty much the whole map
Sounds like enough new stuff to me no?
