Elden Ring announced (FromSoftware's largest game to date, Hidetaka Miyazaki x George R.R Martin, PS4/XBO/PC)

Multiple teams working on different projects at the same time. Sharing resources with each other.
I've never seen production like FROM SOFT. Bloodborne, sekiro, dark souls 3. All in seven years
I'm so sad and angry about the Onmi situation, he is such a good person just judging from what I've see him post, really wished there was a way for him to post without getting harrased about inside info, but now there is no turning back. Hope you are well Onmi, put yourself always first in these situations.
PS5/Scarlett reveal might be a possibility, the games featured there will have a huge coverage. If not then yeah, we'll most likely have to wait for E3 rip ⚰
This. The last thing I want in From games are meaningless npcs filling up the world.
Hope the combat is similar though. The slow methodical approach is outdated imo. They have shown with Bloodborne and Sekiro that fast paced fluid combat is what they excel at.
Throwback to this thread lol

You just know there is going to be at least one dark fantasy city like Anor Londo we'll be able to fully explore in Elden Ring lol. Miyazaki loves his larger than life fantasy locations.
Omni seemed to hint at underground exploration as well. The Aos Sí - " A supernatural race, they are said to live underground in fairy mounds, or in an invisible world"

lol. You'd think people would have learned by now
in 10 years they made Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2, Bloodborne, Dark Souls 3, Deracine, and Sekiro. It's unreal
Combat yes, but the constant having to block /deflect, hell no.
Man, in 10 years they put at least 4 games in my top 10 of all time, lmao.
Block/deflect is life itself. I just hope were not fatrolling into eternity. Rolling needs to stop.
🙏
Rolling in all directions is so dumb.
You better run though, I can hear the rolling defense force coming.
I don't mind having to block/deflect here and there, but I can barely "Tenchu" my way through these baddies in Sekiro. That's what I really hoped Sekiro was going to be like, but most if not all of this attacks are constantly blocked.
Oh man, I recently saw this video among others where people get owned in ugly ways in Souls games. But so damn funny though.
🙏

I mean I don't see the reason to take away mechanics when the other is there. I mean with no rolling you don't have the hilarity that is fat rolling or as that gif show death by roll, god I love this series.
I just want to say that I really enjoy Omni's posts here. I love that they are cryptic; it just makes the wait (and the hype) more fun, you know? And if making his posts cryptic allows him to stay out of legal trouble, as well as prevents official news channels from picking up what he shares are bumming out the devs who worked hard on the game, then I'm all for it!
Give me Bloodborne dodging with Sekiro parrying. Love both games I just want a more mix of the two where smart aggression is rewarded.
I love the movement and manoeuvrability in Sekiro so I hope they don't go back to the very limited movement options from earlier games. Please keep the jump button and something like the grappling and I'm good.
Even if the next gen is right the corner, you will see cross-gen titles until late 2021/early 2022.
It was announced for this gen yeah but I still think it should be a nextgen launch title.
Gonna have to hit you with a negatory on that, partner. I still like my slow, heavy builds too much to give that up. Playing Nioh just proved to me that From are the only ones that can do that kind of gameplay justice while keeping combat relatively pacy. It just feels better when they do it.
Of course we don't know if "heavy" even exists in ER but I'd be bummed if we lost that.
I doubt very much there will be the grappling like Sekiro - that seems situational to the setting of being a ninja. But if there's horse riding then that means quicker traversal. From Soft have always been good with verticality in level design so I'm not worried about that, maybe climbing would be a welcome addition without the hookshot zipping about of Sekiro.
Ahh dreaming.... :)
Ahh dreaming.... :)
someone correct me if i'm wrong, but they've already confirmed the towns will be "empty." I wouldn't expect the NPC population to greatly exceed what FROM has developed in the past.
Yup I hate seeing those rolls after playing BB and Sekiro. And hoping ER doesn't go too deep in the weight management. The only aspect I truly hate in Souls, testing which armor to play on with such a punishing gameplay.
Seeing as how this is supposed to be their most rpg game yet I'm sure armor weight and shiel classes and so on will deffo be in.
I would like Dark Souls' weapon variety instead of Bloodborne's
It's probably gonna be more like DS than BB in that regard for sure.
I just hope there's real good variety in general. While I personally like it, I get what some are saying about not wanting more roly-poly Dark Souls combat. I want some real different ways to play, including fairly standard Souls combat. There should be viable options to be a deflecting jumping superquick ninja, a swordsman who's light on their feet, or a heavily armored knight with a greatshield, and some things in between, as well as more variety within whatever schools of magic they have. That's what I would want
I'm curious what the difficulty of this one will be like. From's games are all pretty hardcore skewing, but with George R. R. Martin attached and a dark fantasy setting, they may be going more mainstream given how big GoT is.
What do people think? Guaranteed, at least the hardest mode will rival From's most frustrating delights, but will additional modes/QOL/etc. be added to try and widen the audience?

What I'd like to see is your choices in build making a difference. So if you go big hulking knight with a greatshield, then you've chosen defense over agility. You can't flip around dodging everything because of your giant armour. Your backstab animation maybe is just a hilt bash or something and a player who goes with a speedy/sneaky does more damage on a crit with their dagger or a rapier. That kind of thing.
If you choose a path to go down, make those choices matter. Whilst Souls has build variety, you can still roll around like an acrobat in hulking armour and stick a 7 foot sword straight through someone's guts and have them get up like it was nothing.
Good build variety to me means decision paths that make a difference and you can't "do everything".

I'm certain they've already in interviews around the trailer reveal to expect more of the same in terms of challenge level.
Well From has covered some grounds. BB was Souls-easy and Sekiro probably too hard, so I gotta believe seeing how DS3 changed after BB that they will absolutely nail the difficulty curve in ER. I have to believe.
Edit : Even if they don't what am I gonna do. Not play it? lol that's not happening.
they won´t go mainstream difficulty wise, they want to provide a challenge also for seasoned players. should be clear by now.
"world full of danger and threats"
Sekiro wasn´t "too hard" it was just like a rhythm game which many people didn´t understand. once you got the rhythm timing down on the parries it is in fact not hard at all.
