Elden Ring leaked (From Software, Miyazaki x George R.R Martin, X1/PS4/PC)

Nice theory but I doubt From Software needs to stoop to that level. They aren't some little known joe shmoe game developer.
They are a company. Companies exist to earn money and if they see one way of doing that is to hire a celebrity to increase their earnings they will do it. Why do you think basically every AAA game nowadays not only use well known game celebrities but actual Hollywood actors? They don't give two fucks about what level they have to stoop to if a name on a box will perhaps double their income.
Because those 2 games were rumored every e3 for about a decade.
Yeah, I'm ready for it but that doesn't mean I'll be any less disappointed.
i remember that GAF thread, people were literally creaming their pants lol
His name is attached to almost everything anyway and at least with a FS game if it's not one of their best it's still going to be better than average,
GoT not so much but A Song of Ice and Fire it's far beyond what is necessary but also the best part of the books. There are multiple books that aren't part of the main series that support it.
Thank you for this post.A weave of golden rings, four circles that make up a triquetra in their center. The logo of the new project by From Software recovers a symbol of Nordic origin, and clearly reaffirms the already anticipated Celtic influences: thus the whispered Progetto Rune becomes Elden Ring.
At first glance Elden might seem like an archaic and obsolete English verb, which means "to grow old". Instead, it is more likely to come from the Old Norse "eld", which is then the fire, natural or alchemic. Or - by substitution - the bonfire, which in Miyazaki's iconography has a particular value.
A circle of fire is also the one that traps the Valkyrie Brunilde, daughter of Odin.
On the other hand, the triquetra symbolizes the mother goddess (because everything that generates life is the mother) and the union of the elements.
Waiting to know what will be the creative contribution of George R.R. Martin, the new project from From Software starts to unravel. And make us dream.
I come here for stuff like this.
That would be really nice, but I bet they're still using the same engine as previous games
Some people actually still consider FromSoft flagship titles to be "AA" and that From are bad at tech ?
I bet these ideas would persist even if Kevin Feige asked them to make a game lol
oh noes, the surprise was ruined! lol, where is the difference, the "rumor" of this game was out for weeks now, where smoke is fire.
do you think they go like "yeah, lets show em gameplay because the surprise was ruined!" the marketing will still show what they wanted to show which will be a CGI Trailer at best. everybody, please be excited for yet another non gameplay reveal teaser video.
For Sekiro, we got a tease at The Game Awards and a proper gameplay reveal at E3. I expect the opposite will be true here, and we'll be waiting on gameplay until either TGS or The Game Awards 2019.
Although, the leaks thus far have included gameplay descriptions, which wasn't true at all in the leadup to the "Shadows Die Twice" teaser.

With the collaboration, I hope it's a more accessible, less masochistic title than their usual fare.
calling it now: this will also be from's most enjoyable game since dark souls 3 :) ...
If someone from FS happens to be reading check out the Vorhh trilogy. That trilogy would fit FS very well.
Ha, I get it. But it would be a shame for all that creative to be gated by the typical FromSoftware approach. Maybe a "skip this battle" option for those who just don't have the time or patience.
I think the Soulsborne games did it well: summoning is basically the difficulty crutch. I'd welcome the summoning/PVP system returning :D
Hoping to see optional areas with very very hard difficulty that have new bosses, treasures and rewards according to the effort you have put in, similar to chalice lvl 4 and 5 dungeons but in a new and improved manner.
the whole point is that its hard.
play a different game if you can't handle it. Plenty of other games out there.
No, but also consider: From Software's games and ASOIAF already have quite a bit of crossover appeal. GRRM's involvement might be a way of getting people who were otherwise turned off by the game's perceived difficulty to give it a try. While many people try the Souls games and find them too hard, others (like myself: it was the new-gen doldrums of 2014, and it was free on Games with Gold) just need the right incentive to give them a try.
And while having the name of one of the most famous living fantasy authors on the box is a good marketing move, this old interview from 2012 gives another possible reason:

Miyazaki seems to just be a big fan of fantasy as a genre, and if you could collaborate with one of your favourite authors, why wouldn't you?
GrrM is big on lovecraft, the song of ice and fire books are actually very lovecraftian, especially with Euron Grayjoy, something the show never really touched upon.
From's games always kick my fucking teeth in, but GRRM is involved in this so that's at least worth checking out for me.
Where? In what I think you are referring to that's reaching a bit, no more lovecraft than standard 1700s -1800's adventure novel.
the whole visited a different continent and seen things nobody else had. It's how nearly all Lovecraft stories start to tedium but that was a very popular theme where the whole unexplored world full of mysteries was a big draw for many readers from Africa to South America, the orient, etc.
Nightflyers and the other stories set in that universe then sure but not a song of ice and fire.

I 've got credible sources that say they are cancelling the game now that the surprise was ruined
This is so cool. Even if GRRM's involvement isn't that big, just the fact that Miyazaki got to work with someone he greatly admires is awesome. I was also really happy for him receiving his lifetime achievement award from two of his biggest inspirations.
He's living the dream, well deserved.
you can also not play it then, how about that? If its not for you its not for you! go watch a lets play of it and give a good streamer a new viewer. FromSoftware is perfectly happy to purely cater to their hardcore fans which is obvious since they have hardly wavered in their approach since Demon Souls.
