They've abandoned that philosophy with new leadership. They used to make extremely diverse games but for the last decade everything has been some variation of "Souls-like".
its better this way tbh. they're not trying to hide it, or using a fake video and trying to sell it as the game itself. players are buying what they see, and thats good.
@@gundamdetractor337 Yes and they even say in the video that some monsters are so big you can even see their heads. That is of course when you are close. So it is by design. I don't know about framerate drops. Was this some console problem, since on PC I haven't experienced anything. The original 30fps lock was annoying, but gladly there was a workaround for that :).
@@ManWithoutThePantsthis. Never had any issues but I didn’t play it with console frame rate that’s just insulting my intelligence if a developer sticks to that.
This game has really shaped my perspective on everything regarding art and storytelling. I've told people that my life has two phases: before playing Dark Souls and after playing Dark Souls hahaha. Truly a once-in-a-lifetime piece of art
I know. It's just one of those things people who don't feel the same way can't get. It's the most valuable and beautiful piece of art I've ever experienced.
0:08 holy shit I was not ready for this. Never heard that track but it's probably already my favorite among the bossfight ones. The fact it's eponymous with the game makes it all the more special.

Seeing this after Elden Ring and AC6 just made me so happy for some reason. The video tape recording of the DeS playthrough was so adorable, haha. I'd love to see a remake of this exact "Making Of" but with From Soft's current achievements.
Everything about Dark souls is amazing , From the world design to the character design it might be one of the greatest game I have ever played . Every NPC and Every boss has a unique taste to them and the soundtrack of each boss makes them even more alive. Truly a masterpiece I would really love to experience this game again for the first time .
@@wunderwalze yes it can be done if you play 10hr a day :D . i mean its all about the exploit and good grinding spot. i spend like 50,60 hr in every souls series to beat.Once you got enough level its really isn't that hard. Sekiro is another thing.
"One-of-a-kind video of someone beating the game with the slave soldier"... that's cute. 11 years later players are beating Souls games without getting hit even once
Back then it was out of their reach Ds2 was the first true take at it But they failed and at the last few months before release they redid the levels since they couldnt complete their goal.
I played Dark Souls PTDE on the PC the first month it went off Games for Windows Live and onto SteamWorks and it was playing the best version of Demon’s Souls lol. I don’t know why I never got it on the PS3 lol since I got Demon’s Souls, but playing Dark Souls on the pc with DSfix and a ps2 controller was so fun and I had a blast playing it for over a month straight. I made so many friends over that month on Steam I still have them today lol. It was an era and it’s so nice seeing them enjoying making a game they wanted to make.
so, they showed voice actors, producer, managing director, design lead, producer, CG section, capture section, sound section but where is the programmer lead? i always thought japanese programmers are doing quite a big job. the lead programmer wasn't even shown here?
i will never forget how fascinated i was when my sword bounced of the wall when i was trying to hit an enemy, of course i died but, still it was fascinating for some reason ive never seen that in video game before souls
It took many months to get through dark souls 1 eventually 2, and 3 It's funny out of all of them I beat DS2 still working on 1 and 3 For 3 it was the starting boss had me stuck for a while. Dark Souls 2 to me is easier to beat the bosses. Definitely keeps you on your guard when it's comes to traps, and ambushes. Not to mention the chests that will eat you if your unaware of the secret chest traps. However, npc dark spirits in 2 and 3 to me are much of a challenge but overall it's enjoyable need to play demon souls and Elden Ring and other dark soul like games.
I wish I got into the souls games earlier I can’t believe I wasted my time on fps games growing up. Got into Elden ring when it came out and ever since I’ve played every souls game along with sekiro and bloodborne. Love them all and still going back playing them trying to do every ending and npc quests. Fromsoft really brought me back to enjoying games because it seems like every studio makes mediocre or garbage games and when fromsoft releases a game, you have faith that they will go above and beyond without asking for anything. The one studio that truly cares about their reputation and more importantly, their fan base.
Isn't it amazing that before Demon's Souls From Software were famous for enduring after releasing 90% terrible games and sales to match. The studio today will look very different to what we can see in this video.
I've been a big fan of them since the late 90's and own practically every game both released in North America and Japan. They made some great games, like the King's Field, Shadow Tower, and Armored Core series. Underrated titles like Evergrace, Otogi, Ninja Blade, Eternal Ring, Kuon, Echo Night, Lost Kingdoms, Metal Wolf Chaos, Enchanted Arms, and Deracine.
@@Silvergun_Raven But you're just saying every game they made is underrated. I agree some of them are criticised way more harshly than they deserved (Evergrace was "interesting"), it's hard to agree that they're great games. Even Armored Core, which I fell in love with straight away on psx, took no time before each game wasn't much more than rote excersises.
@@DontGiveUp_Skeleton sure they made alot of instant noodle games but there are also a lot hidden gems. I really like Kuon and shadow tower. Deracine is a short but nice story game it got hold back by Sony, I wish they just release it on PC already
They've made multiple classic, genera defining, medium advancing, innovative games throughout the years even before miyazaki joined; Armoured core, Dark souls, Demons souls, Elden ring, Kings field, Kuon, Sekiro, shadow tower abyss, ect. I know fromsoft ware have made a feel bad games in the past but they aren't ninty nine percent terrible.
Glad I completed DS Remastered! DS2's main story too and some of its DLC bosses, man, no matter what I patiently or carefully do, can't beat them, even with Curved Dragon Greatsword +5 and level 166! Fume Knight, Blue Smelter and Ivory King made me pussily tap out. 👿
i think what he means is that the player cannot weild heavy weapons (with high str/dex requirements) effectively in the beginning but as they meet the str/dex requirements by getting stronger, they will be able to use the heavy weapon with its full potential by the end.
I cant tell you how good it is that they had real english people doing the accents. I'm honestly so over Americans getting other Americans to do english accents for "posh people" (who apparently need to be english) and it just sounds bad.
Oh, if you caught wind of it, I asked people to help you understand Dodge and no back attack with your assassin was really mean. New abandonment of deflection to opportunity And a dual willed with a shorter weapon didn't mean anything. But we're flails to the FS and we're there a reminder of his tactician. He was supposed to be but caught off guard. Cause you know, that's the tactic. You learn that to Flail kind of represent.
Yeah, do we help push also add an arcana pairing for you know, don't get mad the magical murderer I didn't mean to call you guys murderer assassin. But arkana implies an insight surrounding mystical things. Which means you're no weak points and things. So there'd be a side of it if the wizard just wanted to take up swords because that's what they had. Oh, they invested our Connor. And then you pair that with the bonus from the assassin. So they get double or econombonuses plus the back strike. Or the precluded angle, whatever you want to call. It has to do with how the programming engine sees the dodging happen. What, you mean cheese Royale? Would be easier because you know, CS toe CS needs you to back of his arrest. It'll just keep jumping there and stabbing at the end, you'll kill him real fast. Especially if you're using this sword. You gotta get there and you're die going to that place, but you gotta get there.
8:22 "this game'll have a unique online system" they just cheaply copied Hideo Kojima's new original genre called "strand". quite low to do that, imo, don't know why you guys play these dark smoulsh games

"Not chasing what's popular, but rather to make games based on what we value".
And that is what I love about them and their games.
A lot of western devs should take notes - which they won't.
They've abandoned that philosophy with new leadership. They used to make extremely diverse games but for the last decade everything has been some variation of "Souls-like".

There is something so special about the voice acting in Fromsoftware games. It's hard to put my finger on it. It makes me feel like I'm really there.
it’s the mix
it’s very dry and low and in the bottom of the stereo space
it has a hollow feeling to it

@@ennayanne fair but the way it was mixed only enhanced the feelings the actors conveyed
@@TONEDEAFSOUND yea definitely
No American accents for starters which add to the authenticity. If its medieval setting it has to be english

The whole world: **everybody liked that**
I like that they straight up show footage from Blight Town at terrible FPS
That lady narrator is the best 💕
I loved that unused Dark Souls theme
until today, that music when the credits starts rolling after u finish the game in Dark Souls still gave me chills
Such humbe and nice people , my fav devs♥️♥️♥️

I enjoyed how they pivoted into promoting AC5 halfway through
Thank you Mr Dark Souls
This “Dark Souls” game looks really cool. I hope it turns out good!!!!
it did:)

Ds2 was the first true take at it
But they failed and at the last few months before release they redid the levels since they couldnt complete their goal.

only love for the developers! i study game design I am among the people who pushed me to start this beautiful journey

but where is the programmer lead? i always thought japanese programmers are doing quite a big job. the lead programmer wasn't even shown here?
ooh this will be special
Such an amazing game
While the hitting the wall with your weapon is a nice touch, its frustrating that the same thing doesnt happen to the enemy ai 😂
i will never forget how fascinated i was when my sword bounced of the wall when i was trying to hit an enemy, of course i died but, still it was fascinating for some reason ive never seen that in video game before souls
Uno de los juegos de mi vida
love the part about as the character grow stronger he can swing swords faster (6:43)
lol, could be a translation error, but if not thats really fuckin funny
kind of true, if you don't have the stats you swing it slower.
