Elden Ring fans worried the game won\u2019t compare to Demon\u2019s Souls remake FromSoftwareFans of the Souls series are worried that Elden Ring may not look as good as the Demon\u2019s Souls remake on PS5. Are their fears warranted? Elden Ring will be with us on February 25, 2022, and some fans have concerns that it won\u2019t live up to the 2020 remake of Demon\u2019s Souls. Despite being a new IP, Elden Ring is the latest entry in FromSoftware\u2019s Souls stable, with its gameplay heavily inspired by previous games. Although, the beta gameplay footage on PS5, Xbox, and PC looks more like Dark Souls 3 than the PS5 remake of Demon\u2019s Souls, which has worried the game\u2019s community about the game\u2019s visual fidelity. Elden Ring creator\u2019s comments Souls series creator Hidetaka Miyazaki\u2019s comments in an interview with Edge Magazine have also worried fans of FromSoftware\u2019s work, especially those who are looking forward to Elden Ring. While some fans already felt that Elden Ring didn\u2019t look as good as Demon\u2019s Souls, Miyazaki\u2019s words will do little to alleviate their fears. The celebrated developer claimed to have not played the Demon\u2019s Souls remake, not wanting to revisit \u201cold memories.\u201d He also stated he\u2019s aware of how good the game looks, and that this has added a layer of pressure to him and his team. He said, \u201cGraphical fidelity is not something we put as the top priority. What we ask for on the graphics side depends on the systems and requirements of the game itself, and it takes less priority compared to the other elements of development.\u201d \u201cSo, this is always an area where I feel a little bit apologetic towards my graphics team because I know they work extremely hard. And they\u2019ve worked extremely hard on Elden Ring \u2013 our graphics-systems team and our programmers have been pushing a lot of new features to create the best-looking games we\u2019ve ever made.\u201d Community reaction to Elden Ring\u2019s visuals Reddit user Eisenmonoxidc complained that Elden Ring\u2019s graphics look too much like a last-gen FromSoftware game. They said, \u201cGraphically wise, the game reminds me of Dark Souls 3. Textures are not high-resolution, and the lighting looks dated.\u201d Others agreed but maintained a positive outlook. \u201cWhen it comes to graphics, well, it\u2019s not DeS that sometimes looks basically like a movie, but it\u2019s decent for a cross-gen open world,\u201d one user said. \u201cI just wish tree models looked slightly better, everything else is fine.\u201d However, in another post, Reddit user Mr_Jackabin defended Elden Ring\u2019s visuals when compared to Demon\u2019s Souls. They argued, \u201cAll of Demon\u2019s Souls remakes resources went into making the game look and sound better, it is still the same buggy, imbalanced game it was. Does it look good? Yes. Could they have tried harder in other areas? Also yes. \u201cElden Ring is open world, which means it wouldn\u2019t look as good as a linear game that FromSoft would make. This should go without saying if you know anything about games. Skyrim would look better if all of its assets went into making Whiterun the only playable area.\u201d Time will tell how Elden Ring looks in its final form.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
