As good as Elden Ring is, it can’t save how awful FromSoft’s first, experimental Ring game was

Between the cult King's Field trilogy, the sci-fi weirdness of Armored Core, and the iconic Demon's Souls, there was Eternal Ring. Unfortunately.

Same.
It was clunky, but I had a lot of fun with it back in the day.

Not sure why this was written. (Edit)The article, I mean lol.

This is weird
Like can't you just talk about the game without having elden ring in the title?

Also I don't think they're trying to make up for a 20 year old game that seems to have average reviews for it

porkChop779d ago

Why would Elden Ring being good save a 22 year old game?

Godmars290779d ago

Especially when, more than likely, one wouldn't exist without the other.

The Ivory Band of Yesterday: An Eternal Ring Retrospective

VGChartz's Issa Maki: "Like many in our fraternity, I too am preparing for the release of Elden Ring: I have linked the Fire across the Lands of Cinder, gone on the 'Hunt', defeated Isshin the Sword Saint, and assayed the role of the Old Monk more times than I care to admit in print. But unlike many of my contemporaries ready to march forward, I decided to take the step backwards for a more holistic viewpoint, to an era when FromSoftware was a virtual non-entity, paying dues and learning the lessons that would help it survive into the post-HD world."

Elden Ring is a bit tough to go back to.

2020. I want Ridge Racer 8!.

There have been a tonne of handheld ones on android, 3ds, psp, java phones (back in day) as well. The android ones are surprisingly sound

Melankolis1429d ago

I know. I already have 3DS, PSP, and Vita as well. After RR7 i expected a better version (PS4 version to be exact). 3DS and Vita version aren't the upgrade i expected and i'm not interested in playing game on android device. I just don't like it.

Oh, by the way, a few years ago, a gaming website in my country interviewed Bandai Namco representatives about why there's no RR in PS4/XBO launch. They chuckled, then answered that they (Bandai Namco) had a discussion with other companies as well and concluded that consoles are going to die so they didn't plan to invest as heavily on consoles as before. Then they realized they were wrong.

That's why i hope for RR8 on PS5 launch.

I think I only picked up TTT at the PS2 launch.
All I remember was that it sucked, but I played it anyway. Then I unlocked a bowling game and found the REAL reason to play the game.

franwex1429d ago

I didn't get a ps2 on launch, but I managed to snatch one later on in the year. I got Time Splitters and Kessen.
Not a bad way to start the gen.
