Hidetaka Miyazaki has spoken up a bit about the Elden Ring delay, and mentions how the dev team is focused on temp to avoid player boredom.
A new Inographic has been revealed detailing player tendencies.
Is that looking... less tarnished?
Bandai Namco and FromSoftware decided to delay Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition for Nintendo Switch 2 in order to improve the game's performance on that platform.
What a name for a title with bad performance right now. Yup Tarnished Edition is about right. They made the right choice to delay this game.
Covid will affect games also on 2022.
So many people will read this as Elden Ring Delay and just have a heart attack there
Sounds like balancing issues. My speculation is from their trials they found quite a few testers able to "break" the balance perhaps by becoming too powerful too early. This is generally an issue with open world games because it becomes more difficult to control player progression than in linear games.
Soooo if the tempo is trash and we are bored playing the game, does that mean we've been bamboozled?
I’m so glad they made sure fun is the center of it and not just opening it up for the sake of opening it up. So many open world games just depend on fetch quest and have a lot of emptiness in between.
I really lose interest in open world games like that due to the nature of just nothing to do. That’s why games with lots of traversal options get me more interested then anything else. Not just driving a car/horse or quick travel. But flight, parkour have always been higher interest to me.lol
