The PS4 version on PS4 is practically unplayable. The load times are well in excess of 20 seconds, so when you add in the death animation and the “you died” animation, you’re looking at almost 30 seconds between when you lose control of the character and when you regain control.

This is OK in games where respawning is rare, but in a game like Elden Ring where you die constantly it’s completely intolerable. Boss fights became literally a majority of my playtime on a loading screen.

It’s hard to overemphasize how much better the game became when I switched to playing the PS5 version on PS5.

My exact experience. I turned it on PS5, swung the camera 360 a couple times, turned it off, and continued my playing.

Give this man the keys to that building and start making that game.

It would have to be a full remake, a remaster simply wouldn't stand up today, clunky combat and platforming with block puzzles, but the dimensional shift mechanic could be amazing again.

As a pc player, the 2 modes on console seems limiting. I would like to tweak some details individually (i always turn the shadows to medium/low so that the fans would work less, thus being more quieter). The modes could be like presets that could be tweaked further.

You can use an HDMI cable to plug a computer into your big TV and then sit on your couch and use a controller.

I dont know why you people dont get how capitalism works. PC ports will NEVER be well done because it simply doesnt make sense to invest the money in them.

As a huge fan with several hundred hours in each of their souls games. Can confirm.

I don’t know if it’s that they’re not good but also I don’t think they care.

These games are made for a console. I'm fine with that. It's not the kind of game I would play on a pc. Much better in a couch in front of my big tv.

I would definitely play this. Reboot legacy of kain Fromsoft. It's got aliens and everything.

Not to mention the world of Nosgoth is falling into entropy after the Pillars fell. Fits the whole decay motif perfectly

It's bullshit and I bet their reasoning is for PVP "balance" or something incredibly dumb. Team Ninja's Nioh 2 and Wo Long had much smaller budgets, sell maybe half of what a Souls game does yet offer Ultrawide. Same goes for Returnal and that PC port is one of the best I've seen in a long time. From Software continually getting a pass for tech incompetence is crazy.

Imagine the shitstorm if console players had to choose between playing online or a 1/3 of their screen being black bars.

Yawn

Cause it uses hybrid RT Shadows as it should, the game does not use RT Reflections whasoever.

Forget ray tracing, how about native widescreen support?

Who could have seen that coming from the company that didn't fix the online on PC for 3 of their games for about 8-9 months. Yes I'm still salty about that.

If the shadows are RT, why do characters and small objects still cast the blocky smudge of a 2011 Skyrim shadow? Why didn't they bother enabling RT shadow cast on more light sources like graces?

There is a LOT of grey area between pokemon and Elden Ring in terms of graphic optimization. We shouldn't be settling for either end of the spectrum.

I'm pretty over graphics modes in games now. I understand that objectivy it's good for consumers to have choices, but I just feel like I'm choosing between two half assed settings instead of one that's actually optimfor the hardware. Which is supposed to be one of the benefits of console gaming

HZD and Control proved that you do not need pure ray tracing or a loan to buy a pointless GPU.

Nvidia love to go whaling as per usual.

Meh.

Didn’t you hear that PC is not high end in the gaming market?

Game? Still fucking rocks.

I'm still using a 1080p television and 1080p monitors from like 2010-2012 or something.

It works, games still look great to me. I'm not upgrading until the TV dies lol. Ray tracing, from what I've seen of it, is a resounding "meh" to me.

Tbh Elden Ring doesn't have high-fidelity graphics, just good art design. FromSoft games just run terribly, even on my Series X
