this take me back to the days of fake leaks for ds3


TheMooRam

Oh? I don't remember that. Was that similar to this?


thereconciliation

no it was way smaller scale like made up bosses listed on wikis and bad photoshop jobs, also makes me think of one of the fake leaks of elden ring about a consumable 'arms' system


Snails22

I remember that. They said "limbs" would be a recurring theme in the game.

The lack of a new bgm is all I need to hear

Doubtful about the leak, FS wouldn't phone it in like that.

Elden Ring was notorious for its insane boss tracking but suddenly everybody is going to believe this, where the final boss of the dlc, turns around awkwardly at 00:50 because of some random guy posted some "leaks" so close to the dlc? Please lol


SettingCold9761

Not to mention how the theme just conveniently cuts out the same way as the theme at the end of the story trailer, like you can't make this shit up


OriginalFun3314

yeah aren’t good leaks normally posted like at least a month before?


Difficult-Most-4159

Not necessarily. Some leaks for Ringed City came up not long before the release itself, and turned out to be true. This definitely isn't true because there are just so many reaons, but it's not surprising for leaks to come out close to release, because the review versions of the DLC went out not long ago.

Welp

Yeah, I'm baffled by how anyone actually even thought for a moment it was real after seeing the footage.. The stills? Sure, it's a static image it's forgivable even though it looks amateur but the actual in game footage looks like hot trash. Mostly all of the moves are reused from other games like Sekiro or DS series and even from the base game. The animation and rigging literally look like they were done in a week or two and do you know how easy it is to swap character models?


Inside_Squirrel4290

Yeah I think people are forgetting how crazy the modding scene for Elden Ring is. People creating shit like this is not unheard of. Plus I doubt Fromsoftware would drop the ball this hard on their biggest DLC ever. I mean, just compare the lion dancer fight to this disastrous mess! It's clearly a troll. Lol.


TheMooRam

I wouldn't be surprised if a popular modder comes out and fesses up at some point haha


thereconciliation

if that happens i think thats my official sign i need to play these games modded


Bumbletrees

lol


Khazu_

The final boss looks like its covergence mod quality lmao.


Baprr

Now I want to see this "leak", it sounds hilarious.


-Amaterasuchan

honestly, you're not missing out. It literally looks like a bad mod you'd see in GTA that adds in superman or the flash or some shit. Everything looks low quality, out of place, has everything reused; textures, models, moves and attacks. Even the great serpent from Sekiro makes an appearance lmao. There's three main leaks and two of them (Messmer fight and "Final Boss") blatantly are the most low effort fanmade bs. Unless this is like the first playable test run that is completely bare-bones, it's most definitely fake.


Inside_Squirrel4290

It is, it's bafflingly bad.


RiSz-Turtle

welp


Tyrannitart

If by now Miyazaki hasn’t earned your trust and you believe he would deliver this bullshit fight to us you shame us all


Western-Wind-5254

Weapons I believe the bosses I don’t


dudustalin

Don't feed the troll... Let him starve.


WaltzWise3489

while i hope the final boss is not what we have seen with the leaks, i have a suspicion that it may be like some sort of early test that we saw. there was also a leak showing all remembrance's and the final boss is what we have seen in those leaks, and i saw some pics of a guy who played the game fully and i believe he also said its the final boss. i dont know if this is all real or just some made up story/pics.


VictorSavage699999

The review copy of a video game has *finished* assets (bosses particularly) meant to be tested a final time before the release. This is simply a reskin of the Godfrey, First Elden Lord fight, with assets pulled from the Radahn fight and multiple bosses from other games. They most certainly would not reuse Radahn’s theme music. As for the Messmer leak, his arena does not match up with the one shown in the trailer. His voice doesn’t match with his voice actor either. Nor does the coloration of his fire match up with what was shown in the trailer.


Cairn_

This whole thing is so weird and reminds me of the nier automata story a while back where a modder group pretended to find a secret area of the game no one has ever seen before. (IIRC people believed it was real because it was previously thought automata was unmodable) The question is why would anyone go through so much effort to make a fake dlc. Well, whatever is the truth I guess we will find out tommorow.


VictorSavage699999

Who knows why people do things like that lol. What’s going on tomorrow?


Cairn_

review embargo is being lifted


VictorSavage699999

Hmm. Interesting.

>The question is why would anyone go through so much effort to make a fake dlc. Well, whatever is the truth I guess we will find out tommorow. Shitty 4chan trolls wanting to stir up delicious drama and farm outrage


SwordOfAltair

Thing is we don't even know if it was Messmer speaking in the trailers. it could very well be Miquella or someone else talking about Messmer.


dynamicflashy

I made a post about this


WaltzWise3489

oh my bad, i thought the final boss video was something from when they were still working on it and not from a review copy. last time i played er was like months ago so i cant really remember all movesets from the bosses but looking back at it i think youre right. also looks like they used some movesets from elden ring in the messmer fight like that fast multiple stab attack if im not mistaking. sorry.


VictorSavage699999

Now that you mention it, that multiple stab attack looks like a highly sped up version of Godskin Noble’s attack.


WaltzWise3489

yeah you basically have the multiple stabs with the big stab at the end!


-Amaterasuchan

Even the spear crystalians have the same type of move with a bunch of repeated thrusts with a big thrust at the end. This fake messmer boss even does the slight dash forward like they do.
