Looks like I'm buying it on PS4 for now EDIT: Just bought and booted it up. I must say, the difference between next generation and last generation is eye opening for sure, but the gameplay and fluidity of the combat is the same. Haven't really experienced any bugs or gamebreaking things. The frames drop if you move your camera around too fast but meh. Im not here for that and I doubt any of you are either. Only 90 mins in tonight (so take this with a grain of salt) but I must say, its a good buy so far yall EDIT 2: After one full day of grinding and traversing the lands in between, IF YOUR PS4 IS HEALTHY, GO FOR IT. THIS SHIT IS INCREDIBLE! MUST BUY (if your into this and/or was on the fence about it. My PS4 is from 2013 lul)

All I’m gonna say is that I am more of a Nintendo guy, and I see these “issues” very commonly in the games I play such as Pokemon Arceus and Breath of the Wild, if people are gonna be turned off from a little jerkiness from a distance or is bothered by the pop in and pop out of the backgrounds then people are being way too picky, those are not terrible issues. This game already looks amazing and I haven’t even played it yet, video games are gonna video game, and these things happen in so many of them.

Seriously... like how entitled are people these days? If it's such an issue for them they're more than able to go seek out a ps5. Remember when people used to talk about the things they liked & weren't always so wrapped up in what they didn't like? Seems like forever.

[@DuckAlertBeats]

Some people just can't stand stutter though. I can't honestly. You wouldn't put up with it in movies. From need to work within the limitations properly. They've had way more than enough time and experience by now. The craziest thing is, they HAVE a 60fps version on PS5! It's the PS4 Pro version. So why have they released a stuttery PS5 version?? It only looks marginally better too. They basically released the somewhat sketchy version, when they could have released a solid 60 version. It's insane really

Thank you very much for the video, could really take notes on what was sacrificed for it to run. At 4:36 being the best example, enemies somewhat away have lower frames of animation, but I'm very used to that in fromsoft games. If the loading after dieing is better than Bloodborne's launch, I think it's good. But I would not anticipate updates so soon, since the majority of the problems seem to be on the PC port, and it's the kind of problem that make people refound their game.

[@crowneproductions9908]

The "jerky" animations from NPCs from a distance are completely intentional. It's a performance trade off. If you pay closer attention you will see this in plenty of big open areas in games of the PS4 era (thinking of Monster Hunter World off the top of my head). Basically the animations from a certain distance are rendered at something like half the frame rate of the rest of the game. So you're playing at 30fps but seeing animations in the distance running at 15fps. It's just a performance and optimization thing. I agree it looks goofy if you're really focusing on it.

True. Really baffling considering that most gamers are still stuck with old gen hardware. Reviewers act like ps4 is ancient history

[@thebailey67]

I picked it up today and I’ve been playing it for about four hours and I see absolutely no problems for the PS4 version every once in a while the camera acts a little goofy during a battle maybe but graphically it’s fine there’s no stuttering it seems to run pretty smooth so go get it boys and girls!!!

Are you on base ps4?

[@thebailey67]

@@leagueconfederatecrow2916 yup the base ps4. No problems.

[@junemastaj2]

The game runs better than I expected! Thanks for putting this out, most of the focus has been on the next gen/PC ports.

Hope you're well, not sure if you stream or if you're done gaming, but yeah, just hoping you're doing well

[@damienkrawczuk1435]

I few shakes here n there hopefully won't put anyone off coz the experience and world building completely drew me in, I'm completely in love with its drip feeding story and lore, without constant talking and story scenes, utter genius other games should take note off, it's atmosphere and dread n later in the game completely draws you into and immerses you within its world, no game has captivated me like this within the last 7 years of gaming

[@kevint7114]

Thanks for the raw gameplay footage mate!

I downloaded the game and had two data corruption crashes a couple hours in but after reinstalling the game didn’t have any issues for like 20 hours. And now all of a sudden the game just refuses to work. It either won’t load in when I teleport to certain areas or will repeatedly throw up the “your data is corrupted” message randomly. And then Caelid was a mess of textures not loading in, lost graces not letting me rest, and falling through the ground into the void. It’s bizarre that the game runs so smoothly and then randomly has these game-breaking issues for me and literally none of my friends are experiencing it. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the game several times and rebuilt my PS4 database and everything and it still doesn’t work. I’m not really sure what to do.

With Elden ring, Gran Turismo seven and the rumored StreetFighter Six coming to PS4, I’m really happy that we’re at least given another Year of grace period to have a PlayStation 4

[@jason423234]

I've been playing on the pro. I'm about 120 hours in and I've never enjoyed a game more in my life. Few technical hiccups here and there but I don't really care. This game is a total masterpiece.

[@willybiggs-rj6qt]

subscribing to your channel and getting ER for ps4 now. thank you!!!

[@julianponce4223]

A 2009 i72600 PC is able to run Elden Ring excellently on a GTX1060 3gb, 8GB ram. (My "rig"...) The game looks incredible, runs great. I am SO happy to be able to enjoy this, I really love it.

[@julianponce4223]

Consider also, the ability to explore the open world and fight bosses with your friends online.

[@adgarland84]

Glad I found your channel best Kind of review I've seen.. a lot of work has gone into the video and is very much appreciated

[@johnshedwick]

I'm still blown away by the graphical technology of writing 'Boobs' on a calculator - this'll do just dandy for me!

[@danieldd1804]

It’s amazing how well this game performs on OG PS4!

[@rotorua44]

Thanks for uploading so quickly, really helpful video! Atm it looks like a better buy for PS4 than PC in many ways lol

[@jarhettthreeton8061]

Haven't had any trouble myself! Runs great on my ps4.

[@mojibake.]

If it has a similar performance of the original Dark Souls on PS3 it's enough to me, loved that game to death

[@jayball2782]

It looks very playable. I'm gonna get it

[@aramkqly4555]

Please answer did it run good?

[@Koji836]

@@aramkqly4555no, some delays when dodging and fps drops during boss fights which makes it much harder to beat them

[@Konyyaan]

I mean I'm used to some stuff like frame drops as it happened in bloodborne sometimes

[@arizonawatermelon123]

It runs plenty fine on PS4 the only thing us plebs are missing out on are stunning visuals and load times. So many times my friends are waiting on me cause of load times 😂

[@ChrisStoneinator]

Much appreciated mate, think I'll get this as my PC is a few years old and just about below minimum spec.

[@theyouth2000]

Played it for 3 hours on base PS4. It was alright. Graphically and performance wise it was perfectly playable. No wow factor in graphics department, but it's ok.
