Elden Ring LOOKS SO GOOD - 15 Minute Gameplay Reaction

[@distortion2]

If anyone is wondering about the quality, this was my reaction to watching the livestream of the Gameplay Reveal which doesn't really do the game justice. Streams are limited to 6000-8000 kbps and after re-posting the video to youtube from my stream the quality suffers even more. Definitely watch the 4K footage if you have only seen my video! Thanks for watching guys

Love how much hate ER got for reused assets... meanwhile every other developer does it 10x more. It's like people have no clue how hard it is to make games. It's a choice for what and where your time goes into. They ignore that there's more brand new assets than most other games. When something isn't broke then went fix it? I just remember how stupid this was during this time. I also think people don't realize that From isn't a huge developer and didn't have a huge game focused publisher(EA,Sony,Microsoft or Ubisoft)... just because they make such high-quality products doesn't mean they had infinite resources. After the same on this game though they are definitely going to be bigger. 20 million in its first year and who knows how many since. Forget that though because that didn't make a new parry animation

[@criminal238]

That last boss looked tough, different timings, ton of AOE, can't wait to die to him many times.

[@rinnnnnnnnnnrinRinOnishi]

it looks alot more fun than what we got with ds3 besides basically any of the ringed city bosses whihc were all fantastic besides midir which was more of an annoyance than actually any fun

Getting the habit of watching your reacting to these things. Thanks for uploading and keeping the good spirit! So excited for this and watching you play, that special first playthrough and then breaking the game completely.

[@criminal238]

It's going to be interesting to see how they balance this game. Like in previous souls games will the enemies in one area stay the same health or will they scale with you. Maybe things like the carriage being pulled by those giants is not a fight you can easily win early game but can breeze it by late game.

[@sruijc5250]

[@Floegobaby]

They do use a lot of animations and sound effects from DS3 but I think it’s because they wanna focus more on the content of the game. Maybe people will call that lazy but think about the map and how big it is, now add verticality onto that as well. Spells looks real dope tho

[@TheFizio]

But come on you can't look at that DS1/3 chest behind the dungeon illusory wall and not say it's lazy.

[@Sharkamfss]

@@TheFizio Why would they need to change it?

[@nlamaa]

It's also a dev build of the game. New assets are one of the last things that get added. They will likely be changed before the game releases.

[@TheFizio]

@@Sharkamfss b r u h Why not, it's a new IP. How would you feel if Hollows in dark souls 2 and 3 had the exact same moveset as the ones in 1?

[@Floegobaby]

@@TheFizio Like I said some will call that lazy, and you’re not wrong with that opinion. But if they focus more on the content of the game rather than cool new assets I think it’s better for the longevity of Elden Ring. It will be much more replayable and I rather take that any day of the week

[@mdHugh]

Very slight complaint and I'm not really upset about it... it seemed like they re-used a lot of animations like the stab/kick, etc. But man there's so much cool stuff in here I can't wait. I wonder if the day/night cycle will affect certain bosses or stealth. If so I wonder if there's a rest mechanic to let time pass quickly.

[@Sillywabbit22]

Keep in mind those sounds and assets may not be the ones in the final version. Usually things are placeholders for a long time before release, as finishing a new chest open sound probably doesn't have priority over other aspects of development. I'd also wager that what they showed here is not their most current build of the game. But who knows it could release with those sounds and assets, these are just my thoughts!

[@datzfatz2368]

@@Sillywabbit22 Also, personally i dont see the need why you would have to change the animations. They are good and effective at what they are supposed to do and it makes the game feel familliar/homie in a good way (at least in my opinion).

The company went full on with the design and visuals. People complain about the reused assets, but it would be trivial for the company to replace them. It must be intentional rather than laziness.
