oh shit i already blocked fakenews
Hey nothing ever happens gang wy@???
Does the game even have like...a story? Or is a fromsoft game and the story is told in item descriptions or whatever?
Ngl that would be fun metacinema
Yeah it does. There are NPCs that do tell you about the world and your place in it but it's still pretty weird.

For a long time now, the phrase "live action adaptation" for any video game has felt gross and exploitative to me. It's like announcing that there's a porn parody of your game.
The film creatives will try put their own spin on it because ego and it will be trash
It's an open world boss-battler, it would be impossible to adapt without some kind of spin.
also, the movie will establish the big sword build as the canon Elden Ring build.
True there is an element of adaptation but these adaptations usually go out of their way to incorporate their new elements. It's kind of like staking their ground while not realizing the source material is popular for a reason. I think the Witcher tv show is a great example of this where little to no remixing was necessary but they did it anyway.
yeah, that's what I was thinking. the book they were adapting was actually an episodic anthology, yet rather than do 1 chapter per episode, They decided a non-linear timeline, without even showing up front that they were doing events out of order, and pointless changes to make it their own, which ironically was just copying themes and tropes from other popular franchises like Game of Thrones.

It has to be Dual UGS. You want your action scenes to be readable? Fuck you, here's the protagonist flailing about with two hunks of metal as big as he is.

It's gonna suck
Are they gonna make 75% of the characters bizarrely taller than the remaining human sized people or is the movie bullshit?

I've never played a FromSoftware game in my life. I just want to see how /c/fakenews responds to this announcement.
Civil War was great, hopefully this isn’t just a cash grab
Lol, seeing everyone else here express the exact opposite opinion. Then I checked the instance and realized where I was
Yeah, coz it's a bad movie with nothing to say except "Journalism, important?"
And don't go starting on some tangent about how it's an apolitical movie because that's exactly why it's bad
Just gray sludge dressed up in the guise of enlightened centrism
It's setting also makes zero fucking sense. Total vibes based politics.
I've always really liked Alex Garland's films even with their vaguely dubious politics, but Civil War was impressively shallow and dull.
Especially considering he'd just made another movie with the structure of a group of people (with a heavy focus on female protagonists) venturing through increasingly dangerous and uncertain territory, Annihilation, in a quasi-warfare situation, in order to learn something about the world and themselves. And it was vastly superior.

After how bad Civil War was I don't know how to feel about this
Didn't he also do Warfare right after? Getting those sweet, sweet MIC bucks must be nice. Maybe moving away from military slop will get him back on track though.
Bad
It's bad
