Miyazaki states that FromSoft has "several more things" in store for Elden Ring, with the director also claiming to make even better games moving forward.
Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc. and A24 today announced their collaboration with writer and director Alex Garland for a live-action film adaptation of FromSoftware Inc.’s world-renowned video game ELDEN RING.
Why? These live action adaptations have been oh so terrible lol. I know sonic is successful but I just couldn't enjoy the first movie. You cannot adapt a full game especially a 70+hr rpg into a small 1-2hr movie without many cuts.
But I suppose their goal is to reach more people with these films I guess.
It all depends on the creative talent in these projects. Last of Us and Fallout are good, but Halo is sad.
I understand opinions and all but...
What in the world was pretty good about the Halo series??
The only video game adaptation that I felt went above and beyond was the Sonic movies, and they almost fumbled the first one, Mario was alright too.
I'll get downvoted to hell for this but despite Jim Carrey as Robotnik I think the films could have been better, they shouldn't have included the real world, they should have stayed on Mobius. Hell I would have rather seen animation since the Sonic Mania / Origin cutscenes were great.
I still think the Sonic the Hedgehog OVA movie is better.
Usually agree but give Alex Garland a chance, his other movies are amazing, this is clearly a project aiming for a high standard as opposed to just some shameless cash grab.
Agreed, given his track record and in-depth research he puts into each project, not to mention writers and subject matter choices he makes, I would absolutely give Alex Garland a chance. I'm intrigued, and think he has a good chance of making this work.
Same! You can make an argument for each Miyazaki game but this one and Elden Ring always seemed like a god choice for live action (or animated series)
i meam, theres alot of material there sure but ... most of these enemies are .. non human.
is the movie gonna be mostly cgi? ha.
FromSoftware shares new details on Elden Ring for Nintendo Switch 2, including two new classes, armor sets, and steed customizations.
Some of the best PS5 games are exclusives like God of War Ragnarok and Astro Bot, but there are some indie highlights as well.
Can't wait to see what they add.
Id like to see some DLC that sees a new character knock you out of being Elden Lord, and you have to claw the throne back again.
Miyazaki's own criticism towards Elden Ring was initially a bit strange and hard to swallow. However, once you realize that his previously directed games are much tighter and have more focus and as a result are in isolation perhaps even better than Elden Ring, it becomes apparent why he says what he does.
The game is incredibly good, but I think there are too large areas with not much in it, or sometimes the items and rewards are very random and not usable always for your own build, or just flat rewards all together. The story could have been a bit tighter as well, and NPC questlines weren't always fully finalized.
NG+ was a missed opportunity, as it would have been great to see some real changes to the world including new story elements aka Nier / Drakengard to keep players motivated to play a 120-hour playthrough again.
That being said, it was the GOTY, and is an extraordinary game. Still, I get Miyazaki's own criticism!
I'm going to wait awhile. I spent 100 hrs on a character and it got nerfed. The investment hasn't been worth it. Hopefully the DLC will be good.
