ELDEN RING LAUNCH JOLLY CO-OPERATION THREAD

sabertoothalex

Jealous of PC people but I’m going PS5. Need to play something on there. If my PC just had a handful of upgrades I think I would have done that one.

Shoot, I must have heard about the cross-gen thing and mistaken it for universal cross-platform play. If I win a PS5 from the Thunderdome thread I might change my vote

EDIT this is just in assuming my PC can run it better than PS4

Pre-loading available 48 hours before release. PC release schedule is also shown.
So, FFVIIR PC was the first time I cared at all to pay attention to a pc release, and, of course it was a stupid ugly mess, times unannounced, and released later than the announced launch date.
Well, this is so much better. It will be my first time pre-loading a game.
Anyways it’s releasing Feb 24th at 3PM PT, so that means 6PM ET.
Since I avoid large downloads over my mobile network in my van, I’ll be going to the homies’ crib to download tomorrow afternoon.

yeso

PC for me

PS5 here, which includes PS4 hopefully (can anyone confirm?). My PSN is Matachines but will also use the password and will be active in the threads.

Yes, it does. It has cross generational play, meaning for the two console brands, players on both the older and newer iterations will have online interactions with the other including co-op play and/or PvP.

This has been confirmed by Bandai Namco and was a part of the Closed Network Test, as well.

I’m going to be playing on PC, but mostly via Steam Remote Play. I hope that works out!

I’ll be day one on PC as well.

Do we know if Fromsoftware is going to have the servers online for this launch?

They haven’t commented other than taking down the Souls servers to fix it; possible that’s because PC servers will not be ready and they don’t want the bad PR right before release. Alternatively, it gives them an excuse to redeploy all the servers at once. ¯\(ツ)/¯

kory

I was originally going to go with PS5, but I made a last minute pivot to PC. I’ve never (actively/intentionally) engaged with the multiplayer side of souls games, but that doesn’t mean I’m averse to taking a swig of DONKYMLK for this one! I’ll be away during the immediate launch, but hopefully next week I’ll have some time to jump in. (Here’s my Steam profile fwiw)

Chopemon

PS5 for me. I’ll use the password and hope to see some of you in the game. My PSN is Chopemon.

Love the coop and invasions in From games.

Chopemon Love the coop and invasions in From games.

Oh you do?? Hehe…. let’s see if you like invasions when I invade you, barely put up a fight, and mildly inconvenience you for 20 seconds!!

Chopemon

Gaagaagiins I didn’t say I was good at it but I will always salute a fellow DONKYMLKer

Note that in the network test invaders could only enter worlds that were already in co-op, unless the host deliberately uses the new Dried Finger equivalent. :(

PC so I can change the cover art to this

2501

I have a PS4 and an Xbox One S, I wanna get it on whichever one has better performance but also the one people I know will actually be playing on. Stakes are higher cuz I need to pay for an online subscription if I’m gonna play this….

Anyway, point is I’m a wild card, could get it for either console depending

goonbag

2501 based on personal experience with the network test i think PS4 performance is good

christoffing

I got the game early in the mail. Does anybody know if I’ll be able to play it once I get off work or if it’ll be locked until official release at midnight?

At this point that’s a retailer problem, not a customer’s, and you should be fine. If you want to err on caution play it offline.

yeso

do we need to post steam profiles/console gamer tags or just enter that password when prompted?

Gaagaagiins

yeso I don’t think you’ll be prompted and will need to go into in game settings but getting online interactions with others should happen with the password
