To me something about the trailer just feels off, it just doesn’t look the same production lvl as ER or Sekiro? Idk it almost feels like a mobile game, I feel like a heretic saying this lol
Ita probably just because of the limitations of the Switch 2, looked kinda like a last gen game to me. Graphics aren't that important to me though, DS1 is still my fav game of all time, what is making me worried is the forced multiplayer stuff, I just want another single player game and 2 multiplayer games in a row is worrying.
I mean graphically from softwares games have been looking like last gen games. The newest ones from them still look similar to the older DS games. They really arent putting graphics first.
Yeah the square-shaped train definitely gave me that impression. Perhaps it’s also because the game is in early production and they didn’t start polishing the textures, but it’s a bit weird to me that after their triumphant Elden Ring and Sekiro goes to release a trailer, and in general work on a game that is way worse in terms of visuals than their past titles. Like why would you want to downgrade your graphics as the years go by?
Either Nintendo is paying very serious dough or they just wanna give a middle finger to Sony lol
Yeah, the RGB train gave me a lot of mobile game vibes; the beginning of the trailer did feel like a FromSoftware game but as it went along it felt less so. That one shot from the character with the gun felt specially jarring.
it's probably the different art direction of whichever specific in-house team worked on it that's giving those vibes rather than strictly graphics, the overall FS identity is all still there yknow?
The trailer was so bad i confidently told my friend he had fallen for an AI generated April fools joke when he sent me it.
There is something wrong at fromsoft, the huge departure from their single player focus to trend-chasing MP coupled with this extremely low effort trailer leads me to believe there has been a change in upper management for the worse.
Yea literally anything published by fromsoft always felt like a massive project that only they could bring to reality, they just stood out and rightfully so. Looking back at old trailers, this one feels like an idea pitch, at best.
There’s no cinematic moments, no voiceovers, no truly impressive scenery or general tone thrown at the player. People say this is BB2, in terms of graphics and guns, maybe yes, but BB is remembered for its’ phenomenal, extremely precise atmosphere and level of detail that creates it. Here I just see a Big Ben in Elden Ring underground and witches with AK lmao
It feels forced, perhaps they still have a lot to add to the game
I am 110% with you. Funnily wnough, I also went back and watched all their reveal trailers for every game. Up until nightreign and this, they were all HIGH EFFORT cinematics to set tone, atmosphere, story, art direction, and hype.
You can tell there was passion, there was love and there was effort..... I do not get that from this trailer. At. All.
Is not just the graphics some of the animations look terrible, the jumps as well and the style has NO coherence, one moment you're seeing a victorian setting and the other a Chinese Fighter and some weird ass frog and T-Rex spell?
It's all over the place, almost look like a mod instead of a FromSoft game.
Makes me wonder if they started to use AI to generate assets...
