Not that trading one type of arrow for another is lucrative, even if they are white arrows, the amount of effort seems silly. But it's nonetheless a nice tidbit that didn't need to be a thing but totally is.

8:15 The only reason BluePoint manages to create those visuals is because they ONLY work on the visuals, the rest of the game was already done. The vast majority of the design work, from artwork to weapon and enemy choices to level design to balancing decisions were done by Fromsoft. It's unrealistic to expect a game studio to make both the games Fromsoft makes AND to have the look like BluePoint's, unless it's a studio the size of Rockstar. And even then, how many Souls games have come out since the last GTA's release?

That's because photorealism is a meme. You need to reproduce the sensual response to a real thing with its virtual corespondent, not reproduce the thing itself.

[@Sagaan42]

Honestly, super high detail games like demon's souls remake are expensive and long to produce. I think it's unhealthy to expect more and more graphical fidelity from studios like from software. We've seen from dev stories on for instance TLOU2 how this can be destructive to studios. from's clearly got a good and effective production pipeline down by this point. I'll be happy if they can continue producing games at the rythm and quality they've got right now.

[@xXSpiKeXx24553]

no. i rly couldnt care less about graphics but someday you gotta improve... and fromsoft hardly does that in terms of graphics. im sure they could do it. and when you see how it could be.. (des remake) you even get more soaked in the incredible atmosphere of those games. i never expected that elden ring will look like des remake but i did expect a bit more than ds3 graphics/details

[@nathanbateman4255]

I agree 100%. The triple A gaming mentality ends up squashing creativity; studios don’t want to take creative risks with so much money on the line.

[@dynamicflashy]

By the time Elden Ring is released, the same amount of time would’ve passed between Demon’s Soul and Dark Souls 3, and Dark Souls 3 and Elden Ring. We should be seeing the similar graphical leaps. Far too many games from its generation have improved their graphics while keeping their art styles. Similarly, new games have been released that have great graphics and art styles.

[@Sagaan42]

@@dynamicflashy The hardware power leaps between those two generations are hardly comparable. In addition to that, you might have noticed that while the durations from DeS to DS3 and from DS3 to elden ring are the same, the first period gave us 4 games, while the second only 2. Do you know why? Because as games get bigger, more detailed, and more complex, as player expectations grow, the money and time needed to produce games grows exponentially. The risk taken by companies when producing AAA games such as these also grows, which is why you get less games, and why big publishers are moving away from premium AAA and into Freemium and mobile games, that are way less risky of an investment. Take some time to think about how your mindset is affecting this industry.

[@dynamicflashy]

@@Sagaan42 Okay, I've taken some time out to think about it and I stand by my statement. If Elden Ring won't be able to make the required leaps as expected, then it should be delayed. Demon's Souls remake and even Ghost of Tsushima's PS5 update has shown this generation can achieve terrific results akin to a "jump". Releasing a game with nearly the same graphical fidelity as a game from the early parts of the previous generation doesn't cut it. Sure, the core game should still be great, but I'm talking about its visuals.

It's such an oddly comforting sensation to see these creators here after following them steadily throughout the past almost 10 years since I got into the Souls series, either through Vaati's recommendation or my own interest in dissecting the games. Illusory wall could upload a 40 minute video about mostly insignificant changes from Dark Souls PTD and Dark Souls Remastered, and I'd happily watch it multiple times. I assumed I would be alone in this quite niché interest in small details, and yet there's an overwhelmingly large amount of people who seem to similarly enjoy it. Maybe I am overthinking it, but this all feels like we're writing love letters to games of a similar nature that have touched us all on deeply emotional, mechanical, or otherwise layered level. I'm sincerely happy to be part of this, even if I am only a spectator.

I really don’t think there’s anything wrong with From’s technical design of their games’ animations. It’s a design decision, not a lack of polish. Blue Point’s DeS looks gorgeous, but there’s something in its animation and art design that I find somewhat forgettable in that “new gen shininess” way that early next gen games tend to have. From’s designs and animations are distinctly them and I personally hope they never lose that spark.

I get that the new content train hasn’t arrived at the station yet but it’s starting to feel like your art stuff is taking over the channel. I’m happy for everyone that enjoys it but for a person like myself that doesn’t, it’s a real slog. I often can’t tell that a video has 20+ percent of its content devoted to it by the title. It’s sometimes at the beginning and sometimes at the end and essentially unpredictable. I’m glad you have additional revenue streams for yourself. I’m glad that your Kickstarter was successful. It’s not for me at all and I wish it was a bit easier for me to navigate around that side of your content. Either it’s separated off into it’s own videos which are relatively clearly marked or it’s own entire channel. As it is now, instead of the excitement at the beginning of a video I used to have, it’s now replaced with scanning through the chapter names at the bottom of the video to see if I need to skip sections or can safely close the video before it’s finished because the final minutes are devoted to the art stuff. Again. I’m happy for you and the fans of it, I just would like an easier time navigating it. I assume there are others like myself that would also appreciate it.

No, I'm sorry, there's absolutely nothing aging in Elden Ring's graphics or even Dark Souls 3 graphics. From Software is a small studio with a lot of limitations and they do a bunch of incredible shit with their resources, time constraints and limitations. Bluepoint has Sony's infinite money to create their shit, so they MUST pay attention to everything, different then Shadow of the Colossus that had attention to nothing. These guys are AAA devs, it's EXPECTED to be like that. I hope that these extremely quality graphics don't come to us by sacrificing human life or human ethics (I'm looking at you, Dan Howser) but if you have THIS amount of money, THIS amount of people and THIS amount of founding: You HAVE to make good use of it.

The awful remake of the demons souls intro was all mocapped? That is so surprising. It looked so fake, but I guess the original intro was more fake than the new one. Guess that means whatever fromsoft did in 2008-2009 created the illusion of realism more than bluepoint did in 2019-2020

The quality of those artworks looks genuinely amazing!

I don't like the Demon's Souls remake animations, and I think I understand why now. They're all incredibly overacted. Seeing it with real humans in spandex suits really drives home how silly the movements are.

Lmao your just a salty oldhead who doesn't wanna accept the fact that there's now a better version of your beloved game. Most players and journalists praise the remake for its animations and visuals.

[@23Scadu]

@@du6636 well, if most players and "journalists" (lol) say so...

Thank you Vaati for your awesome videos. The souls series is my favorite series and your videos are full of everything I want to see. I can't wait to throw money to your Kickstarter and get that awesome Soul Arts book. Thanks again.

[@WrathNBrimstone]

Stop giving this guy money, he comes up with nothing original himself and makes so much money.

[@lucreziamorelli1892]

You're right, in part. Some time ago his discoveries were 100% originals. Now it's an anthology of other' s work

For #4: Bungie uses a similar trick in Destiny 2. In one of the boss fights of the Deep Stone Crypt raid, you face against Atraks-1 who is able to replicate himself, and the core mechanic of that fight is figuring out the real body among the many copies (otherwise it's a wipe). Well, some glitch masters of the community have found an enemy model placed out of bounds as a placeholder for the HP of the actual boss. Nice to know that it's not an uncommon trick among devs.

The graphics in fromsoft games has a unique and recognizable feel to them, bluepoints version looks like generic crap.

Just backed up the Soul Arts project today. Haha! I have been pondering about it but you just gotta support Vaati and anything Souls related, sepcially if it's from Vaati. Good luck man.

[@yellowsaurus4895]

Literally this entire video is just a mediocre rehashing of content from other channels, wtf? I'll never understand how he gets away with this shit

[@yellowsaurus4895]

@@CerealKiller Hmm, i didnt realize a 15 minute video literally just paraphrasing other people's work could be considered a "recommendation." Interesting.

[@Chaarad]

Just pledged for Soul Arts earlier today as a birthday present for myself. Love your stuff Vaati =D

[@weavatronobservatory]

So glad this video reminded me about the Kickstarter, I forgot and I almost missed it.

[@TheTrueJuan]

I read somewhere you can buy the art book after the campaign. However, I just love the art so much and how much work you are putting in Vaati and publisher. So since I got paid yesterday, I got the tier that has the slipcase. To be honest, it was the narration and the bookmark that gave me the needed push.

[@OwnyOne]

The amount of work and effort put into the Demon's Souls animations is outstanding!!

[@aaricialambrigts]

I’m impressed by the motioncapture. Gaming has come a long way. Also thanks for mentioning the other creators, will check them out.

[@John-wq4pl]

i have always loved the artists who's work you feature and it makes me happy to finally see ornstein

[@soltanalosmi475]

He always finds something no matter the videos he make. Amazing

[@LuberGames]

So fun fact about the bow bash from Des, the animation it uses is actually the 2h straight sword r2. The same thing happens in the remake. It defaults to the straight sword moves when you're performing moves that technically aren't in the game in a way. Something similar also happens in ds1 if you try to use the move swap glitch with a fist weapon and end up two handing it. Since in ds1 there is no 2h fist weapon moveset, it defaults back to the straight sword one instead.

I bet the dead wolf in the abyss watchers fight was supposed to lay on that part where the bon fire pops up and the second phase sends the blood into the wolf instead of another watcher. Really awesome video, good look at how things work
