I am incredibly sad at the loss of those DS3 environments. I loved the sight of the darksign sun.

[@dragoonman1478]

[@danielantony1882]

They were most likely scrapped because of undecided story elements related to that topic.

[@TheRezro]

Well, they weren't as much scraped as unused. Most of that is implied in the lore. Even Bloodborne use some elements of it.

Those Dark Souls 3 skyboxes are truly stunning. The game has a bit of a problem, in my opinion, with the environments lacking color, but the day night-cycles and sun stages really add to the beauty of the world.

[@twistedgwazi5727]

Maybe that's why the game's environments were so bland, color-wise. They intended to exist in multiple color states.

[@thewatchman2515]

A day and night cycle would have been great. How many gameplaymechanics could have been affected by the daytime. What a missed opportunity. It could have been awesome and propably made ds 3 the best one in the series instead of just a very good successor of the first one.

Man Darks souls 2's story sounds like it could've been even better than the one we actually got. But time travel is always a dangerous plot to use so maybe its a good idea they changed it?

@@otto_jk That’s definitely not the issue when DS3 is significantly more optimized than something like BB. But then again BB doesn’t really follow a day and night cycle only changing the skybox after key events which DS3 already does. But having a moon at Lothric doesn’t make much sense from a lore standpoint so I suspect that’s why it was cut. Also mods can easily alter lighting with little issue.

@@waltersullivan2727 Switching an entire set of baked lightmaps (or worse, blending between two at once for a smooth transition) isn't a trivial matter, especially when RAM is limited. There's a reason why many games with day/night cycles forgo lightmaps entirely and purely rely on real time lighting at the expense of lighting quality since you loose the indirect bounce lighting that pre-baked lightmaps give you. Being that it's not a critical feature I can see why it was cut in the end.

For the bonfire creation mechanic, I imagine players would have been limited to one custom bonfire and that it would have used the Coiled Sword. I could also see the bonfire being a one-use thing. Warp back to the custom bonfire then your character retrieves the sword and has to make another one if they want another checkpoint.

Sounds like some of the unused ideas for DS3 were used in Sekiro

[@CustardCream515]

So good to see all these guys get such a shoutout x it's been so fun following all of these discoveries and for such a massive youtuber in the Soulsborne community to share it all is really cool xxx love all you guys' work xxx

14:05 What's going on with Edwad in bloodborne? It hasn't had one session since the initial one.

[@limozinis7854]

Jesus Christ that’s amazing looking, really give some huge insight into how much work goes into games just to get cut.

[@BLACKPHILANTHROPY]

God, I SO wish those "world states" were actually in Dark Souls 3...

[@bmbterps]

Creating a bonfire to end the game would be pretty hype

[@joethestrat]

I'm convinced that somehow Demon Souls, Dark Souls, Bloodbourne and Sekiro are all related. Somehow. Change my mind (you can't).

[@thompsonator4696]

It goes demon souls bad ending -> dark souls -> bloodbourne Demon souls good ending -> Sekiro There.

[@gloriousporpoise9731]

Haven't demon souls so can't say for that. But in dark souls they constantly reference and eastern land which could very well be ashina and marvelous chester seems very much like he'd be at home in yharnam. Plus patches is in bloodborne

I loved your translation of the final epitaph, nice little piece of lore 😄

[@balderdasq8987]

You missed an opportunity to say: “When thou ringith the bell of subscription, the lore of SoulsBorne thou shalt know”.

[@ordingandr5050]

I remember the Create a Bonfire mechanic, was a pretty large gameplay feature of the game that was advertised, but seemingly everyone forgot about it at launch

8:11 Getting nightmarish flashbacks of cliff racers

[@kaizoaudio1798]

That early screenshot with the flying dragons also shows the player with a Silver Knight Straight Sword, which also didn’t make it into the final game.

14:00 aaaaaaaaaand they've put it in elden ring

[@supernova00500]

I remember finding an article about all that cut DSIII content, seeing it in this video sent chills down my spine!!!

[@THExWASP]

8:00 gonna make that my new background

[@Kriosaivak]

I love how the Chalice Dungeon explorers mirror the lore of the game, exploring the dungeons to find wonderful mysteries and such.
