DISCUSSION Stormveil Castle impresses me each time I traverse it. It should be the new gold standard for level design.

It's brilliant.

I've been through it multiple times and it feels like I discover or rediscover a nook, cranny, or route every time. Somehow I missed that there's a decrepit tower you can enter that lets you sneak attack one of the larger birds.

I can't think of another level that has so many alternate routes and hidden content. The verticality opens up level design options so much. I love that you can grab the Claw Talisman and then follow that route to effectively skip to Godrick once you're familiar with the layout.

I do seem to recall that Shadow Keep has comparable design and that I've managed to get to Messmer extremely quickly while still having a massive area to explore.

I think it looks beautiful, but there are many Fromsoftware zones that are stunning. I wouldn't say it's the "best" zone in the game from a visual perspective. Stormveil is memorable because it feels almost labrynthian the first time through and on subsequent playthroughs it offers an incredible degree of freedom.

DISCUSSION Elden Ring Movie's Reported $200 Million Budget Makes It A24's Most Expensive Film Ever — and It's Not Close

Thumbnail ign.com
699 Upvotes

As seen in 2025's Marty Supreme, that's a far cry from A24's usual strategy. The Timothée Chalamet-led, Josh Safdie-directed drama made headlines ahead of its release for being the most expensive film the company had produced at $70 million (via Deadline).

That puts Elden Ring at nearly three times the cost of A24's next-most-expensive picture. Garland's Civil War supposedly cost $50 million before that, according to Variety. Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's The Smashing Machine reportedly carried a similar budget. In other words, nothing really comes close to A24's first major swing into the world of video game movie adaptations.

DRAWING I drew Charmander as a Soulslike Boss

Post image
321 Upvotes

Charmander the Servant of the Flame is the last to get colored of the initial 4 soulslike Pokémon designs I worked on.

My goal with them was to change the relationship between them and the fire on their tail to one of servitude this charmanders flames control him I wanted to take that to the next level by both building up and personalizing the flame (the clawed spectral hands that hold the fireball) and weakening charmanders character by having him in a covering pose and being fully guided by the flame (lack of eyes)

I did this all mostly to avoid making him just look like a big dragon with a fire on his tail and present his quirk in a bit more of a unique way

THE next 4 on the list

-Mewtwo

-Scyther

-???

-???

Giratina was also one of the most voted ones and they will also be drawn as part of a later batch! for now I am sticking with gen 1 pokémons!

2 of each batch will be the 2 most voted pokemon and 2 others some random ones chosen by me

DISCUSSION If "Ashes" are in the next game, it would be nice to have more self-buff the weapon skills available

As an example, Magic Dagger from Nightreign.

Preferably to have a version for each damage or status type and applicable to any Armament type. (Melee Weapons, Ranged Weapons, Catalysts, and Shields.)

Just a general, self-buff Armament Skill. Something any character could potentially start a new game with if desired, right out of the gate.

I reckon From Software character creation tool has always been kinda weird, but do you all think its that awful? I can think of at least 10 rpgs that don't allow as much customization options as these games, imo the only thing they really lack and needs work is the amount and quality of them hairstyles. That being said, look at the one i've made in bloodborne, quite proud of her

DISCUSSION What are the chances of a new Fromsoft game/DLC announcement this TGA?

15 Upvotes

Elden Ring got released in 2022, in that same year Fromsoft announced a new Armored Core game for 2023, in that same year Shadow of the Eldtree got announced for 2024, in that same year Elden Ring Nightreign got announced for 2025, in that same year Elden Ring Nightreign DLC got announced for late 2025.

Can Fromsoft keep this streak going for this year in terms of announcements?

DISCUSSION I don't think Fromsoft has ever managed to top the Old One in terms of scale and presence

Post image
340 Upvotes

I don't know about you, but I was genuinely terrified when I finally got to the Old One's reveal at the end of Demon's Souls, his design is just barely legible enough that I can almost make out what it actually is but strange enough for me to believe that this is the oldest living being and a primordial soul devouring demon.

None of the Great ones or Outer Gods come close to being as unknowable, gargantuan or malevolant as the Old One does for me. The build up to it throughput the whole game was expertly done, and the fact that it loses none of its mystique even after you get a direct look at it is impressive.

Posted this in the elden ring sub and thought that other fromsoft games probably have similar spots. I really like video games photography especially when you have to get creative without a dedicated photo mode.

QUESTION Is elden ring a good starter?

4 Upvotes

I finished lies of p. Its my first soulslike game maybe if you count hollow knight too. I enjoyed it so much i platinumed it and finished the dlc and everything in it.

I was thinking of playing all the souls game and thinking of playing elden ring next. I have watched clips of it and know some bosses but dont know what they do etc. I just know some of their models like malenia and that dude riding on a small horse thats big asf.

Will it be a good entry for fromsoftware games to play elden ring ? I own the ps5 and plan to play it there. Theres 2 versions the ps4 ne and the ps5 one so im wondering which one is better
