Elden Ring fans no longer cause an outlet for fake lore, art, and desperation
Elden Ring exists, for really, and now we know for sure because around two minutes of an old pok leaked in off-screen, low-resolution chunks. I've seen the footage, and it sure looks equal a FromSoft game. Dragons, swords, dodge rolls—it's Dark Souls 4, only you hindquarters ride a horse, and that's all we ever really wanted.
Right?
The footage is genuinely terrible. Not the game itself, just the caliber. It looks equivalent someone recorded it with the Motorola Razr I used in high shoal. IT's not a leaked trailer as very much like a solicitation of colours playacting charades. If you haven't seen it, stop. Just wait for the real deal—this is likely an internal figure out-in-progress from months ago. Merely if you're one of the dedicated, ego-proclaimed hollows thirsty for any mote of information about Elden Ring, you've watched it 100 times already, and you're probably feeling one of ii ways: Elated operating theatre empty.
I expected extremum reactions. FromSoftware has some of the most ordained fans in games. Their cryptic folklore and parlous worlds invite close inspection and interpretation. They're built to be frustrating, but also built to invisibly push the actor to persist and overcome. Those moments of rejoice are some of the best feelings videogames can give us. So it's no surprisal that the FromSoftware base reached Half-Life 3 levels of desperation in two old age kinda than a decade.
The initial wave of reactions to hit the Elden Telephone subreddit were invariably positive. Finally, a glimpse at The Matter! We got the expected onslaught of 'OOOOoooOOOoooH' posts and Humanity Restored memes, and some excitement o'er roughly shuddery bosses, some big scenes, gymnastic horse combat, and what looks same a stealing organisation.
It's beautiful, I've looked at this for 5 hours like a sho from r/Eldenring
It's non all memes and OooOOoooHs though. Lot of disappointment and concern are running finished the net, largely buried away enthusiasts. I cotton on, being excited feels nice, only let's non bury how trusty so many were just about Cyberpunk 2077 before it came proscribed, even after pre-expiration reviews like my own aforementioned information technology was in rough shape. Given, Candela Projekt marketed the Scheol out of Cyberpunk while From is attractive a much many bated attack. This footage was not motivated for public consumption, nor is it needfully representative of the final game. There's no context for what we're seeing the least bit.
Simply I put on't blame anyone for cerebration Elden Surround is playing information technology too safe, at least visually. A common refrain has been that a new fantasy world created with the economic aid of George R. R. Martin shouldn't bet this known, non just in terms of its relation to Dark Souls, merely to fantasy tropes at large. Dragons, skeletons, pointy wizard hats? Been on that point, done that. I wonder if the horse can dodge wrap up.
The history of /r/EldenRing
If you want to beguile up, here's some homework: a meticulously detailed history of the Elden Ring subreddit, marking all starring and minor cognitive content teddy, including subcategories of popular meme formats.
Now we delay for a real trailer, reported to arrive sometime in March (though Xbox has already said it won't be from them). And then we wait for the game to come out. Elden Ringers have gone through and through some major changes overnight, from questioning whether Elden Ring exists to seeing an actual timeline emerge from the abyss. That's where I sense nearly of the bummer vibes coming from: the disappointment power glucinium less about Elden Circle itself than what information technology created.
Elden Ring's extended stint in purgatory was probably better for its hopeful players than a trickle of tell apart would've been. Driven into desperation past a passion for FromSoftware games, and and then much dire by the prolonged silence, Elden Ring fans aren't really fans of Elden Doughnut.
They're fans of the idea of Elden Circle: the promise of grim existential themes amalgamated with challenging dally, and the catharsis from overcoming those obstacles despite the hopelessness clipping direct it all. They in reality just want to feel capable and to recognise that it's going to be Alright contempt all the vacant castles (mood change) and vast monsters (as wel mood shift) hinting otherwise.
Without this collective desperation, Reddit user Stray_Demon wouldn't have closed over 230 original pieces of his ain imagined Elden Ring artistic production, promising to create a new one for every 24-hour interval that a gameplay lagger isn't shown. Technically, the rule still applies, and though Stray_Demon's stride has slowed, his enthusiasm hasn't. Just consider his first work compared to the latest. That's genuine artistic exploitation he wouldn't have without the vacuum of information since June 9, 2019.
Without From's superfans clawing at the sky we wouldn't have a pile of memes to the moon. Here's a favorite of mine, posted hours before the dawdler leak.
Please Help Us from r/Eldenring
Some Ringers were so juiced on the idea of Elden Ring they decided to merely make their own secret plan. I wish I loved anything so much that it bucked up me to take up a livelong new deal and practice. More gimpy developers need to just go silent for days at a time. We'll have whole movements of indie crippled designers and artists sprouting up on demand.
Now that footage has leaked, though, the snake's feeding its tail, and Ringers are already nostalgic for the loss of future nostalgia. A ring indeed.
We get Elden Ring news but this sub is going to fade out as we know it from r/Eldenring
That leaked footage has everyone a bit confused compensate now. Overwhelmed, evening. The internet invites us to sit around social media campfires that never die, which exist to comfort weary travellers with news program and folklore about everything from stock markets to videogames. Those eternal campfires see that over time, the culture will outgrow the thing itself. It didn't take Elden Mob interminable to outgrow a single house trailer. Before the leak, Elden Ring was art, sense of humour, and hope tinged with longing. Short God (a cool dragon) appears in 240p and whol those fantasies we power saw in the flames over the last two years make along a familiar work.
It's no surprise that some hoi polloi are grappling with a sensory faculty of red ink and disappointment. Elden Ring is a videogame now, a thing we grade on a scale, a affair we crapper finish. I'm happy to know information technology's tangible. I love From Package's games. But I'll lose the ongoing craze, and I'll miss the time when I truly couldn't even imagine it. Sure loved trying to, though.
Saint James the Apostle is stuck in an endless loop, playing the Tenebrous Souls games happening recapitulate until Elden Ring and Silksong prepare him unloose. He's a earth-ball pig for indie repulsion and weird FPS games too, quest outer games that actively hurt to play. Otherwise he's wandering Austin, identifying mushrooms and doodling grackles.
