FromSoftware games go through the demake mill
In recent years, video games have been progressing more and more and giving us amazing experiences through their playful, narrative and graphic qualities. Faced with an increasingly striking realism, it is sometimes not uncommon to wonder what such masterpieces could have looked like. — a qualifier that could perfectly suit the latest title from FromSoftware, after reading our testso much Elden Ring represents the quintessence of the formula created by the Japanese studio —, if we had known them at a completely different time, many years before. And it is at this moment that the practice of demake arises!
For those who do not yet know this technique, it is neither more nor less than the fact of deconstructing a video game work in order to keep only the bare minimum, corresponding to a reduced version of the game as it could have been be created on earlier console generations. In this regard, FromSoftware’s games are perfect candidates for this exercise since certain titles from the studio have suffered from this practice, in particular a few episodes of Dark Souls but also Bloodborne we were telling you about du demake last november. Inevitably, such a phenomenon was not going to miss the exit ofElden Ringbut we didn’t expect to see a demake so soon!
A trailer straight out of the PlayStation 1
For the moment, the demake ofElden Ring does not take the form of a full-fledged experience as could be Bloodborne lately, but the Youtuber Hoolopee has been tempted by the exercise by reviving one of the game’s trailers and giving it an aesthetic straight from the era of 64-bit consoles.
The Youtubeur made his talents as a 3D artist and special effects supervisor speak for himself to immerse us in the lands of the Entre-Terre, as if we had just inserted the game disc into our PlayStation 1. The artist has managed to retain the dramatic tone and the epic aspect of FromSoftware’s title, even by applying obsolete graphics to it: a pretty feat that is all the more impressive when you put the two excerpts together for the compare!
If it is, as it stands, only a trailer, it may give ideas to more than one player who is passionate about this practice of demake. Be that as it may, the experience promised by Elden Ring may well inspire players around the world, but it will happen above all on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. At least, at first!
