Elden Ring

Those rumors of GRRM collaborating with FromSoftware are growing larger by the week. I dismissed them as BS when they started circulating a few months ago.

After rumors suggesting A Song of Ice & Fire author George R.R. Martin and Bloodborne developers were working on a game together, new details suggest that title, Elden Ring, may reportedly be revealed at E3 2019.

As posted by industry analyst Daniel Ahmad (ZhugeEx on Twitter), and reportedly posted on 4chan, as reported by Game Informer, FromSoftware is allegedly set to reveal Elden Ring, a new RPG from Hidetaka Miyazaki and George R.R. Martin.

Ahmad posted a teaser image for the alleged collaboration game, showcasing the title, Elden Ring, and an etched symbol comprised of several interwoven circles and a vaguely anchor-shaped image. Elden Ring is reportedly set in "a new world" from Miyazaki and Martin, which would mean it is not a continuation of the Dark Souls or Bloodborne franchises.

There have been a ton of phenomenal games getting announced recently, so I'm hoping the streak keeps up to this. I'm cautiously optimistic for E3 this next week.

**** this. GRRM better get back to finishing up TWOW instead of "writing" for a game.

Honestly idgaf anymore. I'll read the hell out of it when it comes out but the show already spoiled the ending. ASoIaF is out of sight and mind now. There are other books I can read.

Anyway, here's the poster:

Love From Soft and Sekiro turned out to be fantastic but holy shit, write the phucking book.

There's leaked year old gameplay footage of the the game floating around on the internet

apparently there's going to be a much better looking trailer released this month.

Just what we need, another f'ing Dark Souls clone. 😣

I saw the leaked footage, it looks a little bit raw, but promising. The exploration kind of has an RDR vibe.

How can it be a Dark Souls clone when Hidetaka Miyazaki is also involved with it.

Need my FROM fix.

Hell ya.

I'm ready.

There is Elden Ring gameplay for Gamescom but it's exclusive to journalists and can't be shared. Nothing weird there.

A counterpoint.....sometimes showing unfinished gameplay to the public can have the opposite effect on what they want to accomplish.

Just look at the shitstorm Halo Infinite had when the released that gameplay video last year....

Why would they want to show a gameplay video if it's not finished graphically to the public when the majority of opinions would probably be negative....it takes a lot of time for companies to make these videos/demos and ensure it's equal to the finished product so if they dont want to spend time doing that...(and I heard its like a month to make these type of demos)....they cant really show it to the public.

Well, them not showing new footage gave us a ton of memes to enjoy at least.

I heard some journalist says the footage will be released to the public soon though. Whatever "soon" means is unclear though.

I normally don't give AF, and am content to just wait for the game to drop. I'm just SO ready my for next Souls fix. Some Souls clones are admittedly pretty neat, but they can only fill the void for so long.

As long as they show something prior to release.

I'm a bit intrigued because supposedly this game is open world, similarly to Zelda....
I'm not a huge fan of From Software games but that's just a personal preference.

To be fair, it's not like Infinite showed snippets of gameplay like Elden Ring did a couple months ago before it's gameplay presentation (Halo's).

If nothing else, they coulda provided a shorter version of what they gave those journalists or something, some glimpse and not a description by IGN. I actually listened and it was awful. Them, not the game I mean.

I'm looking forward to Elden Ring. Eversince I played Bloodborne I've been waiting for another new IP by them I can get behind. I'd try Dark Souls but I feel I'm late to that party.

I actually cringed a little bit when I heard it was open world. It's not that I hate open world per se, but it so often involves things I generally hate in video games. They've earned my trust though, and I'm banking on them not stumbling into the typical open world pitfalls.

I don't want resources blown on some silly lifeskills mechanics, where I have to cook moron stew for some moron in the town of Dorkshire, just to get a robe that lets me get back to the actual game I was trying to play. I don't want spend 8 hours mining dildo fragments to make dildo ingots either.
