Wow is just realized that the character creator background isn't pitch black. Doesn't bluepoint realize that the blackness represented being born into a world of cold bleak isolation? I swear they continue to not understand the true vision of Demon's Souls. /s
Yeah. I heard Miyazaki objected, but Gavin Moore pinned him down and gave him a pink belly until he relented. Bluepoint Games is the true monster factory.

How can they keep insulting From Software and Miyazaki with this cartoonish and generic Character Creator.

They 100% are. The whole series has this weird otherworldliness to it that Bluepoint is stripping out of the game. The enemy and environment designs have been butchered in the same way. They're taking all this stuff that's supposed to be weird and alien and wrong, and making it literal and realistic.
I mean even in this Thread there are some pictures of good looking Characters, the problem with Souls is that it doesn't give you tools to make anything that looks that way. And if you wanted to make a black Character you were basically fucked.
The CC also got progessively better in the Games in Bloodborne and DS3 i for example even have good looking Characters (which is basically impossible in DS1). You can make wrong looking ones but that isn't supposed to be your only choice because of the themes of the Games.

A From game with a good CaC? How will the purists cope? Surely this doesn't fit with Miyazaki-san's vision.

I can't say enough how great it is to see a character creator with hair options for black people. I've been play FFXIV half the year and seeing every additional hair option being another variation of straight, feathered hair is just frustrating.

FWIW, in BB I was able to create 3 good looking characters:

1. Trying to imitate Vampire Hunter D-

2. Trying to imitate Vergil (From DMC 3)

3. Trying to imitate Sonequa Martin-Green (the character with which I finally played BB for the longest time until reaching Nightmare Frontier):

Unfortunately the character creator never had sufficiently nuanced options to get the characte appearances just right....

FROM better be taking notes here. Wow!

Max was right. It would be hilarious if they end up implementing changes by Bluepoint on Elden Ring or future games.

This will probably be the only time I'd use randomize. Wow!!

Or maybe make a character that looks like me? Or maybe a cosplay character?

I have mastered the shitty character creators I am ready.


When are you ever going to see your character's face, let alone their teeth.

I'm happy they're going above and beyond for something most people will never see.

Lmao look at that fool not playing without a helmet to show dominance

When you play Souls games without a helmet as a lot of people (myself included) will do. I only wear helmets on characters who I feel it fits them on.

Photomode or anytime they make the character emote in-game. All the grunting and yelling sounds they added I assume having a bit of mouth movement now.

OMG they fucked up the character creation too, where is the atmosphere from the original? But seriously, looks incredible, way better than I expected.

I've been plenty vocal about the lack of Black characters and character creators that include us. But Bluepoint isn't doing this for Black people. They're treating the character creator the same as they're treating the enemies and environments- they're making it more realistic, more literal. And it's not supposed to be.

I really have no business getting this game, since I'm not big on the souls formula but damn that looks good.

The characters actually look good. Crazy!

But I also see a lot of sliders there, so it should hopefully be possible to create some abominations again. :D

Aesthetically this character creator is obviously a huge upgrade over the hideous things From makes but I'm surprised the characters aren't more detailed or have higher quality textures.

I refuse to make a good looking character in a souls game.

Alway go for the blue skin/huge nose/extremely thin limbs/whatever funny look I can find. Oh and a silly name too.

I'm so not used to good-looking character models in a Souls game. It's almost uncomfortable.

I love it though.

That character creation screen looks generic.
I am somewhat serious with this statement.

If you showed me those screens out of context, I would probably think something like Baldur's Gate 3, or maybe some super modern Korean MMO.
