Elden Ring looks rather cute and harmless when using the tilt-shift effect

April 12, 2022VG247

Elden Ring is a lovely game. A hard, lovely game. But when given tilt shift treatment, it doesn’t look as foreboding. Created by YouTuber Flurdeh, the video shows the Land Between turned into a miniature world, and its tiny inhabitants running around doing whatever it is they do. This isn’t the first time Flurdeh has used tilt-shift, as Battlefield 1, Breath of the Wild, Final Fantasy 14, God of War, Half-Life 2, Red Dead Redemption, The Witcher 3, and others have been tilt-shifted. If you are wondering how this is accomplished, the tilt effect alters the focal plane of an…

In development with WB Games Montreal, in the game, Batman is…

The update also makes it so Scorpion Tanks and Wraiths will appear more frequently on BTB maps, also, Fireteam…

Elden Ring studio FromSoftware doesn’t make its games “hard for the sake of it,” says Miyazaki
