Visual comparison to Demon Souls Remake

[N4pfkuchen!]

So everytime I see videos of the Demon Souls remake on PS5 I am really stunned how aweome and clear the graphics look.
They were such a huge improvement compared to every FS title before imo.

If I compare it to all the Elden Ring gameplay videos I always feel like they made a step back again.

Is it just me or did they downgrade graphics in Elden Ring compared to Demon Souls (PS5)?
Maybe thats the compromise they had to do for building an open world?

Or am I completly wrong and Elden Ring looks at least as good?

dude, do you know that DesR was made not by fromsoftware?

[Groen90]

Fromsoft didn't make the remake, Bluepoint did

No i actually didnt know.
Only knew that Dark Souls remastered was outsourced to QLOC (who also did a way better job with the PC port than FS)

as long as the gameplay is good im p sure most people dont care too much,though it will look better than ds3 thats for sure

[ZTL-Altima]

Too many differences is scale to compare.

Also, Elden Ring must run on PS4, so there's a compromise.

That being said, no tech will ever be replacement for From Software creative modeling, art and level design. Others are too far behind.

But why is that an argument against comparing these two?

Well, the two companies are different in that FS is in charge of Dark Souls, whereas Bluepoint was in charge of the design of the DES Remake. I'm also pretty sure Elden Ring runs on a different engine than DES Remake. The cool thing is, both games are really pretty, Elden Ring has great art direction and DES has very good effects and graphical quality. Both games are pretty!

it's always game play before visuals with Fromsoft and I hope they stay that way. Too many games go for the visual appeal and suffer from terrible gameplay.

Thats true, it wasnt meant to be flame against the game.
Im totally looking forward and cant wait until friday, but I was just wondering after seeing the light-effects in Demon Souls thinking how awesome they looked and how crisp all textures were.

From Software didn't do a single thing on Demon's Souls Remake. BluePoint did all the work. And i mean, all.

It's not a step back. The density of Demon's Souls is big because the areas are exactly the same as they were on PS3, with a lot of added geometry and flaire.
The micro and macro detail is amazing, and the performance is superb.
But that wouldn't translate to open world very well. It's not a step back. Even if i like the art direction of DeS Remake, i still like the art direction of Elden Ring more.

DeSR Looked amazing not gonna lie, but ER is no slouch either. I don't really care personally, I enjoyed Demon's Souls Remake and games like Vampire Survivors, graphics come after gameplay.

No,it's not just you. DSR was made for the PS5 exclusively so of course it look much better,it's not cross gen like Elden Ring.

because Fromsoftware did not create that remake, they weren't in charge of it, Elden Ring isn't even on the same engine so you literally can't compare them and get upset if Elden Ring isn't DES Remake graphically. IMO elden ring graphics is an evolution of ds1-3 and not an evolution of DES remake

Elden Ring doesnt look anywhere near as good as Demons Souls remake, but in fairness the Demons Souls remake was literally just "Hey, remake this game with much better graphics and update it for the PS5"
