Don't care at all about graphics engine advancements for this game. Would be nice but don't care. What they need to hit is asset variety, density and quality like Bloodborne, not like Dark Souls 2 and 3.

VGC: A leaked Elden Ring internal trailer is being actively circulated in online chat groups [Update: Footage now leaking to the public]
- Thread starter AshenOne
- Start date
They paid for GRRM so of course they want to get as many games out of this deal as they can
Not to mention, both Bloodborne and Sekiro are noticeably more polished than Dark Souls 3 visually. Some areas in Dark Souls 3 are straight up...very lacking. Watching a friend play it for the first time right now.
Seems Sony and Activision's support may allow FROM a bit more polish, I wonder. I dunno. I don't think they're helping at all in a way that would imply FROM can't polish their own games lol, but perhaps different publishers allow for better financials and time to polish things.
But this isn't true lol. It was definitely used in the Gutter, Black Gulch, and the Abyss covenant dungeons, it was also useful in Shrine of Amana. And it was expanded further in Scholar.
I don't think this post is made in good faith. If you aren't a From fan, you'd still know the answer to this question. Six stellar, critically acclaimed games in 12 years is an incredible track record, and a "magnum opus" project from such a developer, showing familiar tropes but also cool new things like horse riding, open fields, stealth, jumping etc. is guaranteed to be exciting.
Something about the art here gives me the feel it might be based on some of the stuff that was cut from Dark Souls 3.
Grubb said this was all he saw so I don't expect any more leaks.
Ugh my god I don't want a game where I have to care about the weight of my armor
Please FS
Make it as fast and fun as Bloodborne pls remove Dark Souls tedium I'm begging

You can see from the video that the last 20-30ish seconds of the trailer are missing. But that might just be the logo and other stuff.
Omnipotent suggested it wouldn't be used in combat, though,fwiw
The trailer shows a few classes, I think?
The context of the leaked footage is hard to gauge. It was obviously internal only, but it could have also been intended for a press showcase (having been on the receiving end of these before).
It's not overly unusual in the more generous cases of press events for there to be two sets of media; one is the official trailer that is made public and showcased everywhere, and the other is a b-roll of game footage made up of gameplay, cutscenes, and other stuff. Press are given these packs around the time of press events. EG: The trailer is showcased at a big event (awards show, press conference, etc), press are given the opportunity to conduct interviews, play the game, or watch a demo, and press are also supplied with the b-roll footage so when they talk about the aforementioned in their press vids they have extra content beyond the trailer to cut together.
If the above is accurate it could be that there was a planned Elden Ring event sometime recently (maybe towards the end of last year, as per talk of the trailer being old) that was ultimately scrapped. Could have been scrapped because of COVID organisation, publisher unhappy with footage, change of schedule (eg: game was delayed, press stuff bumped up accordingly), or to better time press content (eg: avoid coinciding with Demon's Souls remake press circuit). In that case content may have been made, as described, seen by some people at Bandai Namco (particularly regional branches, if this did indeed come from Greece), as it was shipped around with intention of being shown and passed on to regional press. But the plug was pulled and technically only Bandai Namco staff saw it, until someone got leaky.
Alternatively, it could all be basic internal stuff that was doing the rounds. A trailer that was cut together but never totally finalised for release, for whatever reasons (wanting new footage, recutting it, changing press dates, etc), plus a general demo vid of content that does the rounds to show others within the company how the project is shaping up.
Either way, someone is getting their head knocked off.

Same system thats been used in all the souls games up til now. Starting classes but beyond that you can do whatever.
Ooooh. I've been waiting for this! Basically looks as expected. I really love Dark Souls but was tired of the franchise by the end of 3, so a spiritual successor not shackled to the DS games is most appealing. It helps that it's been a few years since DS3 now so I'm ready to jump on the train.
I'm very interested in seeing if From can pull off good level design in an open world.

Really glad to see we are getting a classic feeling souls combat system, at least from what I can glean from those leaks. Sekiro just did not click with me personally, and I craved the Souls/Bloodborne style of combat pretty much the whole time I played it.
Very much looking forward to seeing more, and Day 0 and all that.

I'll venture a guess and assume it'll be similar to Souls games, whereas you have some starting stats/loadouts but are free to customize your character how you want later. [Edit: confirmed by Omni a few posts above mine]
The footage so far has shown us a typical "knight" stock character, a wanderer/sellsword type (curved sword + turban kind of headgear, similar to the sellsword class in DS3), and a magic user.
Disagree, Dark Souls III and specially BB are too bloated with random assets (tombstones, statues, empty coffins/boxes...) I would prefer the game to be more like Dark Souls I on this regard, or Sekiro that also has a cleaner world design instead of throwing lots of assets. I like detail on my games, but having easy to read areas is IMO important too.
I gather create a character is still in. Is summoning back too?
Yeah I saw that. Makes sense.
We don't need people jumping around during duels in pvp.
So hyped for this, looks like a really fun world to explore. The designs look excellent so far. I wonder if they've improved / expanded on character creation at all.
No Dark Souls 3 and BB clutter make it far more livable and like there real locations. And sicne Sekiro is the same, i'm glad it won't be like that.
Both DkS II and DkS III were also released shorty after/before another project, so maybe Bamco wanted to capitalize on DkS popularity and "rushed" the games to be ready "while the DkS popularity is at its peak". I agree that DkS III has some rough-looking areas (it has some areas on par with BB too), but this time FROM is taking their time. Maybe it won't look as good as Sekiro or BB because is a bigger game, but I expect it tot be consistent (or so I hope).
I don't know a whole lot about it so I couldn't tell you unfortunately. I just know that the usual stuff you'd expect is in.
It's a cross generation game. There's no reason it won't be 60fps on current gen consoles.
BB I understand because the residents of Yarhnam are religious fanatics. That would explain the statues everywhere, and the coffins are widespread because everyone keeps dying of the disease
IDK, if having cities with the same exact statue repeated a dozen times makes it feel more "livable", sure, but I think the "gothic", busy desings work well for a game like BB or some areas in DkS III but may be distracting in games with a different artistic approach.
As much as I love Bloodborne, I am a bit confused by your wording. Dark Souls has more varied locations, and more build diversity and thus gameplay than Bloodborne.

I think some people are forgetting this was supposed to be only on the same consoles Dark Souls 3 and BB were made for as well. Potential current gen enhancements aside it looks as expected.
Same trailer with all clips and upscaled but now in 60 FPS also
According to Grubb the 110 seconds was all he saw. I'm not sure if the Streamable bits are a part of this gameplay trailer or not though. He also said he's "heard these vids are possibly even from 2019".
Yep!
