Spoilers Official ELDEN RING Discussion [PS/PC/Xbox]

I haven't seen anything confirming that.

I hope so. Could be crazy good. And it sounds like they want this to be their next franchise which is awesome.

 

[what-wut]

I hope it has a more linear story, tried bloodborne didn't like it.

Great interview with Miyazaki. He seems to love working with Martin and the game sounds pretty cool.

Has it been confirmed that it's based on Norse mythology? He didn't mention anything in the article.

The helmet and engraving on the armor shoulder look vaguely Norse, but not fully, cut-and-paste cookie cutter Norse.

I like that, and that is probably how the game will go down. Inspired by the Norse aesthetic and mythos, but without Odin, Thor, Yggdrasil, Ragnarok and all that stuff.

Ive thought about this often

if you decide to 2 hand a sword, you will build more posture damage, and more stamina

1 hand builds less posture damage but uses less stamina.

Shield builds both your and opponents posture damage

parrying correctly builds massive posture damage, but you are 1 handing a sword which builds low posture damage,

a successful posture break leaves the opponent (or you) open for a riposte

So basically like Shadows die twice but with more weapon options and some tweaks to the posture system? I hope they get rid of the stamina system after having it removed I just enjoy their games so much more. Keeps the action going non stop.

Oh Elden Ring, how you will be another GOTY for me!

I'm really curious about the combat system now too. Similar to what you're suggesting, it will probably be some kind of synthesis of all their previous games but with new mechanics as well.

I'm also looking forward to seeing their idea of open world and how much freedom we have regarding progression through the main story. I keep picturing Skyrim with real combat, which is exactly what I've wanted for years now.

The mention of no cities or towns but with threats throughout the world made me think of Shadow of the Colossus.

A little more info. Sounds like the combat will be more like DS but not 100% sure on that.

Ah ok didn't realize. I tried to read your article but for some reason IGN will not load properly on Chrome anymore for me. I don't know what the deal is.

If this has PVP, it's going to be insanely popular.

GRRM picked the absolutely best Devs to work with. I wonder how he feels about the Dark Souls lore

Absolutely. I love how respectful Miyazaki was of GRRM in that interview posted here a while ago.

It sounds like he's not just using Martin's popularity as a marketing gimmick but genuinely building the game around his characters and other ideas. It's amazing. I could never have imagined a project like this happening a few years ago.

Yea pretty much sounded like GRRM was given an idea of what Miyazaki wanted and he gave them a basic world outline and they built off that. Wish we would have got to see more.
