Fan reimagines Elden Ring as a PS1 game

One exceptionally talented Elden Ring fan re-created its CGI announcement trailer to look like a PS1 game, and the results are glorious.

Many people attribute their love of FromSoftware’s games to the old-school difficulty approach. Boss fights are usually pretty challenging, and game overs typically result in being thrown back to a level’s opening — much like PS1 games often did. 

Hoolopee, a 3D visual effects artist and YouTuber, brought things full circle by reimaging Elden Ring’s E3 2018 CGI trailer as a classic PlayStation title. All the jaggy textures and warping backgrounds one would expect from a late 1990s console RPG, very reminiscent of FromSoftware’s own King’s field series. Watch the whole thing for yourself below.

There’s even a neat side-by-side comparison video Hoolopee came up with too.

Quite reminiscent of the brilliant Bloodborne demake that came out recently. 

Those still trudging through Elden Ring would do wise to check out GLHF’s complete walkthrough.
