Current Events > How can the Elden ring look so bad on PS5?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Heard amazing things and Im a massive souls fan but damn the way it was hyped I was shocked how bad the graphics are.

your mom's graphics are bad

Any adults wanna contribute?

Looks fine to me. Did you try having a sig and not being a troll alt? It may help.

What's the issue you're having?

Compare the graphics to other PS5 games. Its fine for the PS4.

That I paid for the PS5 version but got PS4 graphics.

Shut the fuck up

Idk game looks p good on my pc at 1440p and mostly high settings

It was designed to be compatible on the PS4, and unlike some companies like Gearbox and CDPR that seem more than willing to release PS4 games that run like absolute shit, FROM seems to have taken the path of compromising on visuals in exchange for performance.

I get wanting the game to look like the Demon's Souls remake, but that wouldn't have been possible with it being cross-gen, and not enough people can get their hands on PS5s at this point for them to justify a fully next-gen investment.

So that's why. As a massive souls fan, though, you'd be used to shitty looking games. Elden Ring has the best creature and world design aesthetic out of any FROM title, so just enjoy that aspect of the art direction instead.

Should have bought a real PS5 instead of this trash TC.

this on the other hand and from a mod no less.

I'm pretty sure it's using the same engine as bloodborne/sekiro, or maybe they've even been using the same engine since Demon's Souls ps3 and improving on it with each new release. Either way, there's only so much you can improve in terms of graphic fidelity without completely reworking the engine. even on PC, the difference between low and ultra is mostly in lighting and shaders for things like grass/water with most of the things like textures being the close to the same between them, so even low vs ultra isn't a huge jump like it is in some other graphics-focused games.

Playing on console and complaining about the graphics...couldn't be me

First off, im playing this on pc at 4k.

You get used to it tbh. First time i played I thought the game looked bad since it starts you off at a church and its dark but with some fog around the corners of the screen. The fog is probably my main gripe with the game's appearance and it is present in a lot of darker indoor areas. The anti aliasing it utilizes also makes the game look kinda blurry imo but i have to keep it on since there are too many jaggies with it off and at low aa preset. Also when it rains the game looks extra bad and it sucks that we cant wait it out through a grace (ive tried) but have to releport somewhere far and come back.

That said, some areas look real beautiful at specific ingame times AND when it isnt raining. There is also a dungeon that looks pretty damn great because of the stars on the ceiling. Outside of the rare good looking areas I thought the game just looked ok most of the time whenever it wasnt raining. Reminds me of a AAA ps3 game upscaled to 4k via an emulator (which looks a lot better than ps3 games played on a ps3 tbh) but with better lighting and more things in the background.
