Leaked off-screen trailer of Elden Ring is legit - but no one has a link

I dunno, I think it looks cool.

And quite honestly, its been awhile since FromSoftware has done a real "open world" type RPG (Kings Field). I would love to see their take on it. You know it wont be a Skyrim copy. To think otherwise is to not have followed FromSoftwares development over the last decade. Miyazaki has shown that he has little interest in following trends. (Unless they are trends set in his own games).

I don't know if we can really call any King's Field "open world", they more or less had the same non-linear structure as all the Soulsborne games.

And I have a strong feeling this one will be the same, maybe with more branching paths, optional locations and larger individual areas. Don't expect Skyrim, Assassin's Creed or Breath of the Wild though.

I have the feeling this was produced as internal pitch material / proof of concept for a public trailer. A couple of journalists have said the video is from last year, so probably not a "new trailer" From Software was about to drop to the public.
That would make more sense. It does lack the polish compared to trailers of the past they have done.

Something similar happened with Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3, so it really wouldn't surprise me.






EDIT: For DS3 we never got a full trailer, but there was a leak with a lot of tentative screenshot showing areas, enemies and even mechanics different or removed from the final game.

It amazes me and delights me in equal measure that From Software has gone from the creator Evergrace (one of the shittiest games I ever played) to one of the most anticipated games of this new generation.

Well done FromSoft!

Trailer was pretty milquetoast but I have no doubt that the game will be another 10/10 Miyazaki experience like Dark Souls, Bloodborne and Sekiro.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
When could we hope the trailer to be finally released? Are there any events soon?

Btw I liked what I've seen in the leak. I would have hoped for it to be something more than just "open world Dark Souls" (models and animations look straight out of DS) but still, count me hyped for this.

If a trailer is ready then probably not that long.

Yeah, I dont know. I doubt its some huge sprawling open world. Maybe something more like MGSV? Some open areas that lead to more linear places. Like a tower or something.

All I know is, From has done a great job of giving me games I didn't know I wanted. Hopefully they can hit another home run.

Looking forward the final trailer.
Some might want something different than Dark Souls but me I am all in for new Dark Souls content.

I like what I see so far
 
RELEASE THE FULL TRAILER NOW!
After this leak Bamco and FROM shouldn't let us wait for the two year anniversary of the first trailer or whatever to drop the second trailer.

HUMANITY RESTORED! Combat shots LEGIT 100% souls omg!!!

LOL @ comments about graphics quality after watching potato footage this poor.
Like I said I'll be more than happy for it being Sekiro grade visuals with engine improvements, at this world scope and scale, exploration, builds, everything that made Dark Souls great, and post Bloodborne and Sekiro combat, this is gonna be absolutely incredible.

Come on Bandai Namco, you know it's out, we need ONE HD REAL IN-GAME SCREENSHOT now

I still remember the initial Bloodborne leak. It was leaked on 4chan if i recall correctly.

I also recall that leaked sequence lacking some of the polish we saw in the retail version.

and is written by the infamously late GRRM.
He did not write the story, he wrote the mythology of the world. Miyazaki literally stated in an interview that Martin's contribution was basically a Dungeon Master's Guide to the world of Elden Ring. Man, the people who have never read the interview make themselves really obvious.

Here's an article where it says Martin wrote the mythology, with Fromsoft doing the story, and says Martin basucally wrote a Dungeon Master's guide for the world: https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/0...volution-of-dark-souls-says-creator-a-e3-2019

So no, Martin's only infamously late because he puts side projects like Elden Ring over finishing Winds of Winter, becuase he no longer cares about A Song of Ice and Fire.

Even at potato quality it looks kinda weak. Still, good to finally see something.

People with knowledge of the game’s development told VGC that production has been significantly hampered by remote working restrictions, which have been in place for nearly a year. One person close to the game’s development said that, due to the disruption, they believed it was unlikely Elden Ring would make it out this year.

=\ damn. Hopefully these people can get back in their offices soon

Do you really think they have modded in boss models and horse mounting just to fake something?
The footage is very low quality and easy to fake. Compare it too the Project Beast leaked trailer.
There are also rumours that the footage is over a year old so who knows.
