Here is a related video, showing what's at the bottom of each pit in Dark Souls: ua-cam.com/video/5GWrAw4hhXY/v-deo.html It includes falling from Darkroot Basin to Valley of Drakes.
That attention to detail is nuts, no-one in any normal playthrough would ever see firelink shrine from blighttown but it’s modelled almost exactly the same just low res
It's not modeled, it's just already there. The engine breaks it down to these ugly, unusable places and assets, the world is still designed as this one massive piece you can walk through in one sitting, from beginning to end. The player is never meant to be able to do what's in the video. They removed certain things because that's what programmers had to remove for performance, but since one of the principles of Dark Souls is "if you see it you can go there", they took to heart to make sure everything's aligned in the level design.
That would have been cool, but I'm guessing the area loading is tied to some trigger near the actual entrances. Still really neat that you can see where both areas are from the other, though.
@@SaucyPuppetShow1 According to kingborehaha that is exactly why - those transition areas dictate which maps are loaded in. No transition area, no map loading.
While I do think that DS3 has better gameplay and balancing, I think DS1s interconnected world is something that hasn’t been topped since, every time I found a new way back to firelink I was always so excited because it was a new way home and while I love the quality of life stuff and the warping between every bonfire, I do feel like the need to walk between places gave the game a better feel of adventure and scale to how the world was actually put together
Just finished DS3 and it was a masterpiece. Even the level design was god tier. That said I think DS1 might have the best level design of any game ever
@@TheRhalf you can look it up level design in DS1 has been cited as among the very best in any game ever, they literally use it as an example of the gold standard game development courses.
@Kari Legion It’s not hidden or a bug. You can see most of where you can go from firelink. It’s just skipping render checks. If there was a render check in the air “where you would normally die from fall distance” it would render.

I would love to see a Remake of Dark Souls 1 in PS5 that could render every part of the world and map at the same time, and we could see all the buildings of Blighttown from Firelink and Vice versa.

@@Iankameel bruh everything was trying to kill me how could i look up hahahhaha. I mean in blighttown, after the great hollow i noticed the sky but actually never thought of the viwe being the sky, more like something like the underground area in elden ring that has a “sky”

This is absolutely insane. I always knew that you could see down into Blighttown from Firelink, but I always just assumed that it was just generic cliffs above you when you were down in Blighttown. The fact that there is an actual low-poly version of firelink in a spot where no one should be able to see is nuts.
@@sudanemamimikiki1527 hardware works within specifications you know (nothing will melt)...it would just lag/crash/bug out. I highly doubt that "the engine" could handle that much information even if you had the potential horsepower anyways.
I remember my first time playing Dark souls 1. I managed to get all the way out of Blight town, I was finally rid of that place, and I don't know exactly where or HOW I managed but I managed to fall down ALL the way. And I had to start climbing all the way up again. Don't ask me how I managed to survive the fall, I don't remember myself but I do remember falling and having to run back up. Fortunately for me, I had killed almost everything so the way up wasn't as daunting. Oh and I might add that the hardest boss for me was not to accidentally attack an npc and make it hate me for eternity, so whenever I would talk to an NPC I would shake uncontrollably. To this day I can't play any Fromsoft game without facing away from the npc and slowly pressing the talk button. Good times!
You could make them forgive you if you confess your sins and request absolution with the guy in the bell tower, and they would stop attacking you again, just have to pay a little atention to what every npc does but the first time is always hard to figure out ;)
If you quit and reload, does the game recognize where you are? Also, it's interesting the see an artifact of that bridge in Firelink Shrine, leading from the bonfire to the wall, that in the regular game doesn't exist. At one point, that bridge was supposed to be there as a short cut from Firelink to Lower Undead Burg, but the got rid of it in favor of the shortcut where the merchant hag is
Yes, i started from ds2, and when i was playing dark souls 1 i was always talking, then i falled from a high place and i thinked "NOOO YOU PIECE OF SHIT MOTHERFUCKER LMAO" then i survived
DS1 world is just so perfect to explore something that just wasn’t there in 2 and 3 which is why even with the improvements both the next 2 titles had DS1 is my favorite
They could have done so many cool things with the remaster. Like increasing the view distance and having those other viewable areas load. So you could see the enemies walking around from the point of Firelink. Or looking down into the Demon ruins from the Tomb of the Giants. That would've been so neat.
Dark Souls is a trilogy and there will never be a Dark Souls 4. Just like there will never be another Sekiro or Bloodborne. That's the beauty of Eden Ring. It's all the Soulslike games in one universe.
Any plans on doing some crazy fights again? Personally i really would like to see something like op crab vs bosses by changing it's stats to: a)infinite poise or very high b) 5x or more it's damage c)2x times attack and move speed d)10k hp. You could name it something like supercrab, ultra-instict crab, lvl 802 crab, crab Norris or anything you like. This would be fun!
@@kalsizzleYou have 4 paths to access Caelid, 4 to Altus Plateau, 3 ways to get to Volcano Manor, a front and s back entrance to Leyndell, Royal Capital. A whole underworld that connects with the Lands Between. Both Stormveil and the Capitol are some of Fromsoft's best level layouts. It's pretty decent.
It's possible the original idea was to have those multiple assets all be loaded into each other in early development the framework for the structures is a copy of the model. It was probably faster to copy it in this case than to simply make a lower resolution version. If you look at the rest of the game it's clear they wanted to have more connections between the areas but either cut them due to conflicts such as not being able to handle the loading or development time running out. At which points things are abandoned and sewn up to work with the core game best that they can. Best example of this is when games place a rubble pile in front of what looks design wise to be intended as an entrance with the rest of the layout to naturally block off progression with an invisible wall added in.
That low resolution Firelink has bridge that went directly to the other side of valley starting at the bonefire. It was early stage of development. Also they are kind of in similar places when you load the respective locations
I wonder how long it would take to climb a ladder from Blighttown to Firelink Shrine. All that I know is that if you would go about it it's time to bust out Snake Eater.
I'm glad you showed that bridge at the end. In the ALPHA, that bridge was still there and took you to gated door in the hallway by the entrance to the depths. They cut it later and changed the path but you can imagine how much harder it would've been slogging UPHILL past those assassins and houses to get to the Taurus Demon
Everyone hates old B-Town but the first time I looked up in and realized "holy shit, I'm in the background of Firelink" was one of my core Dark Souls memories. You can see connections all over the game. I once watched a video where someone clipped out of Painted World where you usually jump the exit, ran off into the distant hills, and somehow just discovered Anor Londo sitting there. Apparently Ariamis is just a long jog west from the chapel that houses it's painting.
What we need is a remake with the details like this being fully realised, at least for the sake of the even grander idea they layed down a lot of unfinished foundations for, dark souls feels awe inspired as it is but these kinds of real time connectivity instead of the illusion of it that’s found here and there(the 2nd half of the game in a fully realised and finished state would be amazing too)
That one bridge in the end, over the central part, could that be an indication that there was a path connecting to another area (perhaps around where the gaping dragon is) but was ditched during development? Considering the far away scale models still retained a more or less accurate version of the loaded up map, could that be an indication? Not that it really matters, just curious about the development process.
good job could you do the same with tomb of the giants and lost izalith matter of fact since valley of drakes is connected to new londo could you zoom out to show how it connects so flawlessly ? thanks
DS2: Hey my world is super interconnected too!!! I have an interconnection between a poison valley and a castle sunken into a volcano up in the sky. No other souls game can brag about that! eh? Imarigth?
Some day in the future, this game will have a mod where the whole map is loaded or slowly being loaded like an mmo at a time where our computers are even better equipped to handle it.
for a brief moment i got excited that everything would be loaded aleady, ignorantly forgetting that dark souls unloads areas when you aren't in them :(
I don't think they would want to make everything line up perfectly, even if they could. Illusory wall explained in one of his videos that Fromsoft made areas appear further away than they actually are, because it gives the player the feeling that they walked a greater distance, and makes the whole world feel bigger.

for a brief moment i got excited that everything would be loaded aleady, ignorantly forgetting that dark souls unloads areas when you aren't in them :(
can you see other areas from the dlc? since its the same zone but in the past
Can’t wait for the Dark Souls remake where everything lines up perfectly.
I don't think they would want to make everything line up perfectly, even if they could. Illusory wall explained in one of his videos that Fromsoft made areas appear further away than they actually are, because it gives the player the feeling that they walked a greater distance, and makes the whole world feel bigger.
The game is so connected.
1:22 There wasn't that little bridge
Its cut content. IIRC there is a mod that restores it
i always wondered why that door was there
