News Elden Ring Community Shocked by New Fake Wall Revelation
Were those messages real..?
Well, well, well. Elden Ring, you can't do this to us! Fake, illusory walls have been a staple of FromSoftware titles since 2009's Demon's Souls, hiding bonus items and weapons behind seemingly stable surfaces you need to hit in order to have them melt away. It's only ever taken one attack to make them disappear, but this...

Family Thais
We probably don't need to tell you that there's a big difference between eastern and western marketing.

News Elden Ring Easy Mode Isn't Happening on PS5, PS4
Director feels apologetic to those who can't finish
Elden Ring, the latest game from famed FromSoftware developer Hidetaka Miyazaki, is said to be the most accessible game in the Souls series so far. And yet, if you’re playing it, you’ll already know: brutal, punishing death abounds around every corner. It’s true that the release’s sandbox...

Random Elden Ring PS1 Demake Looks Sharp Enough to Take Someone's Eye Out
All those angles
Sure, modern gaming is all well and good with high definition graphics, motion-captured animation, and astronomical production values, but we'd scrap all that in an instant if we could have those very same games on the original PlayStation's hardware. Alright, that's a lie, to be honest, but there is something about PS1-era visuals...

Elden Ring is out on PlayStation 5 and PS4 today, but despite being crowned as one of best games ever made, it’s not without its issues. Some have recommended playing the last-gen version of the game on Sony’s new-gen console, as that’s the only way to ensure a consistent framerate. There are als
News Elden Ring Ray Tracing Will Give Graphics a Shine in Future Updates
Time to reflect
Elden Ring is now out, and it's being billed as the best thing since sliced bread everywhere you turn. It's hard not to be a little excited, even if some of the game's spotty performance means it's not always a silky smooth adventure.

Current-last-gen
As noted in our Elden Ring PS5 review in progress, the otherwise superb RPG suffers from an uneven frame-rate and some visual blemishes on Sony's current-gen console. Perhaps expected, given that the closed network test was a bit wonky as well, but still disappointing. Anyway, those eggheads over at Digital Foundry have been...

Better in backwards compatibility
