• Encumbrance is still in and better grasses weigh more - grass system is otherwise intact
• They fixed most bugs but kept minor "meme-worthy" bugs and quirks
• Locked 4k at 30fps or variable 4k 60 at fps
• Plenty of filters, inc. one for the original's aesthetic
• Can switch camera perspective back to original
• Photo mode included - which pauses the game until you're invaded/otherwise playing with other players online
• Higher drop rate for pure bladestone
• Confirmed no 6th archstone: "it was discussed, and then we backed off - it wasn't our right to create that extra world"
• World tendency and character tendency unchanged aside from improved UI
• Most of the original cast re-recorded their dialogue
• 3 invaders and 2 allies for 6 players total in multiplayer
• Fractured world - confirmed as a mirror mode
• Significantly improved character creation, with "thousands upon thousands of permutations"
• No difficulty settings - focus on staying true to the original vision
• Levels apparently load close to instantly after dying
• The game makes use of the PS5's controller's new haptic features e.g. you can feel the trigger tightening as you draw an arrow, and the controller gives feedback when you successfully parry
• Omnidirectional rolling (eight directions) is confirmed in
• "Once you've chosen a character, what you can do is after you've paid a number of souls for it--in the Nexus--you can actually store your character and then go in and change your character in the Nexus."
• Re-recorded soundtrack with full orchestra
• All animations redone with motion capture but still match the cadence and speed of the originals
• All boss and enemy logic/AI same as original game
• No changes to Old Monk

Lord it's beautiful.

 

[maGs]

In my veins!

 

[nexus]

Man these 9 am embargos have been getting me excited every morning.

 

[Strings]

I kinda hate they keep showing it HUD-less (you miss out on the impact seeing the HP bars go down gives you, etc), but it looks very pretty.

 

[Foffy]

What did they do to the boss music? That sounds absolutely generic. :/



Originally it had a slow, kind of menacing presence. This just sounds like someone took a track from a random movie and spliced it over gameplay footage.

 

[Raigor]

Graphics are insane, but they kept the stiff animations of the original.

 

[janusff]

hnnng

 

[Astral]

The graphics are so freaking insane.

 

[Dizastah]

Just beautiful.

 

[Dancrane212]

The Flamelurker's face is looking more... melty. Nice stuff!

 

[Zushin]

Wow

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

this looks amazing, holy shit.

 

[Cruxist]

I always respect the option to Re-spec.

I love taking a new build through the whole game, but sometimes I just wanna rock the Moonlight Greatsword, you know?

 

[Reckheim]

Oo man, its been a while since i've been this hyped for a game.

 

[UnluckyKate]

My god the lava temple arena, so beautiful

 

[Akelisrain]

Can't wait for people who never touched this to experience Nirvana.

 

[Equanimity]

Graphics are insane, but they kept the stiff animations of the original.

Click to shrink...

Have you played the original?

 

[Theorry]

60fps makes everything better.

 

[KastuśKalinoŭski]

 

[The Last One]

I simply can't believe in those graphics. Looove it.

 

[Cyberia]

beaten

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

I truly wonder how they are going to do Maiden Astraea.

 

[Vic Damone Jr.]

Looks good but I wish they would've picked worlds 3 or 5.

 

[Maple]

This game is gorgeous.

 

[EssBeeVee]

THE SPIDER LOOKS SO GOOD

 

[OSHAN]

Two more weeks.

 

[SoulsHunt]

Umbasa.

 

[Stairouais]

Incredible. The lights work is astounding.

 

[Xtortion]

They changed THE DEMON WAS DESTROYED to Demon Vanquished 😐

 

[Deleted member 15360]

The ending needs to be gif

 

[Rodderick]

If this is the baseline of graphics we're getting next gen, I'm more than sold. If in 3 years this looks outdated we're going to have some mind blowing stuff to look forward to.

 

[giallo]

Oh my lord. Everything is perfect.

Best-looking game I've ever seen. The character models are unbelievable.

 

[S1kkZ]

and this is the 60 fps mode. hard to believe there is a mode that will make the game look even better in 30 fps.

 

[Strings]

The fog door when going through to the Flamelurker is legitimately a stupid level of gorgeous. Someone can make a gif to properly showcase it, but unfgh:

 

[Luckett_X]

Everything looks great (the lighting!) except the UI fonts. They needed to put a lot more stink and weathering on them as they come across as generic stand ins instead. Probably too late now I guess :/

 

[DC5remy]

For real mind blowing what they pulled off here

 

[Thiago]

Looks insane!

3 long weeks!

 

[Estarossa]

The SFX, I'm quivering.

 

[Snarfington]

Good lord it looks like a straight up render

Arrestingly good-looking

 

[coldsagging]

Amazing. They only went and did it the mad lads.

2 was easily my least favourite world but that all looked so fucking sick, the magic effects and the flames on the Flamelurker look nuts.

 

[Arubedo]

HOLY SHIT

 

[Remeran]

whew this game looks good.

 

[get2sammyb]

Holy shit this looks incredible.

 

[Helix]

 

[Fangdangle]

Jesus that closing montage. Incredible

 

[Deleted member 22750]

Why is there no lock on or hud

why not show these

 

[digitalrelic]

As someone's that's never played a single Souls game or Bloodborne, this looks so fucking good.

Day 1 baby!

 

[zombiejames]

It's fucking gorgeous. How is this going to look even better in the 30fps mode?

 

[Lys Skygge]

Amazing. The music and sound effects especially stood out to me.
