Idk if it's really news or not but I was was able to read the timeline at the bottom of this one when the sellsword looking guy appears and it says there's 1:25 seconds left, which means the whole trailer is probably right around 2 minutes

Got excited seeing those bright fantasy colors and environments, then they throw in the dark/dreary "soulsborne" look and I HATE that. I hate the dreary dark settings of the soulsborne games, just give me a bright fantasy with the combat mechanics. I don't like dark/dreary/depressing environments in games...minus some horror games.
The colors in some parts are all wack but the shots at the beginning look amazing. The final game will look incredible.
That makes sense, actually. Would be amazing. I'd be content with 60fps, but I'm sure my PC could do higher if the option were there
What's the reference to? DS3?
Don't expect agility options like Sekiro, but definitely stealth options.
For sure. Miyazaki has just never seemed thrilled about doing sequels, but I'm sure it's different if on his terms. Plus we can assume GRRM gave them a lot of lore so maybe that inspired them to do multiple games.
I'm so glad this isn't "dark dreary Fromsoft fantasy".
Looks colorful and exciting. I'm intrigued.

well, it appears to want to be. but it'll still have to top bloodborne first...
This looks so damn rough.
FROM really needs to work on their animations.
Boo you guys
I hope we get miasma-filled swamps and crumbling dark castles and sinister catacombs too :P
Latria and Bloodborne > *
But I know we will. We saw glimpses of torch usage in some dark ruin. Dark Souls had both Anor Londo and the Depths. We'll be fine.
Ah, true forgot about that. Would be too much work if they have to account for every weapon.
Quoting myself after watching the upscaled version. Seeing the vegetation a bit clearer gives me even more DS2 vibes (Things Betwixt and Majula); also other stuff like the models and color palette direction. I'm almost sure a lot of artists of the DS2 team are working on ER.
Looks rough, judging from what we've seen. I will likely enjoy it regardless.
I told you guys I was, otherwise you guys wouldn't have believed me and said I was being hyperbolic.
This looks like the least depressing Souls game, even the tone of the music sounds hopeful. Any more cheery than this and its basically the Adventures of Cookie and Cream.
Morrigan, my dear. After five games of it, they needed a change in art direction. I was simply getting tired of the oppressive darkness.
Its an old trailer thats set for internal use only. You shouldn't rely on it to be representative of the final game at all tbh.
Haha, that's why I have hope that I'll enjoy it. Souls-likes with visuals/environments that are less depressing are something I really enjoy. I know many love them, but I'm not into the Medieval Dungeons/Dark & Brooding settings.
Art assets were not a problem in DkS2, the problem was the general lack of a global art direction or consistent world building logic.
The only interview they did talk about the usual castle settings and levels being in the game, it's not all fields.
Imagine what drives you to seek From Software games, regardless. I suppose you can't be talked into turning back. Very well then.
So long as Miyazaki is involved with these games, there will be dark/dreary settings. He's said specifically that this approach allows people to appreciate the moments of brightness and colour differently. That won't change.
Yeah, unlike Dark Souls it seems this was conceived as an IP with multiple entries from the start.
I took it as reference to the "colorless fog that swept the land" in demons souls
Cmon bruh, you know you cant tell anything from these low res(upscaled or not) videos lol. Especially the assets. I can see what youre saying concerning the color palette though. But I think the game will have a day/night cycle will give all areas different feels depending on time of day.
Magic makes these games a joke, that's your easy mode I guess?
They've been doing it since at least the early 2000's! Some parts of Lost Kingdoms II still freak me out lol
Give me a dragon or a creature of some sort hunting my shit dinamically throughout the open world, Miyazaki-sama. I need my dynamic boss fights out when I'm exploring. It's the first thing that came to my mind as soon as it became known this is more open.
I always presumed Miyazaki came to Britain one day and thought, this slaps
I respectfully disagree. Obviously they are not naughty dog level, but they are good, stylish and very functional. I can replay the original Demon, and the firts Dark Souls without any problems with its animations, and the newer games have awesome ones. weapons transformations in Bloodborne are so satisfying!
Magic and co-op means there's no need for easy modes, because that designer is never going to make one. Just pray he doesn't go the Sekiro route again and remove both magic and co-op. Now that was a legit hard game.
What's the purpose of an internal-use only trailer? To demonstrate development progress/marketability to a publisher?
I'm getting BIG Silmarillion/LOTR vibes from that Golden Tree. It's basically one of the Two Trees of Valinor

People who apparently lost internet since 2019 seem to come in and ask why this looks like a Fromsoftware game. I go a step beyond for my japes and claim their efforts to make an ER trailer not look like Dark Souls is the reason this game will be delayed for another 2 years.
