Someone Has Already Turned Elden Ring Into A PS1 Game
Bloodborne isn't on PC, but the FromSoftware classic earned the attentions of a certain Lilith Walther who remade the first area of the PS4 original to look like a PS1-style game. Recently, the latest game from the acclaimed Japanese developer has also been "de-made" with similar old-school visuals.
Bloodborne PSX took Walther 13 months to create, and the totally free demake includes extremely basic textures and character models as well as a 4:3 aspect ratio. It was an impressive achievement that even inspired speedrunners to get through the CRT-look and 20fps of Bloodborne PSX. Now, another FromSoft title has received the demake treatment, giving the next-gen game a beautifully retro aesthetic appeal, and nostalgic vibes that might pull on the heart strings of older gamers.

Elden Ring, the first fully open-world FromSoft title, has launched to absolutely rave reviews, with critics astonished at the scale of Hidetaka Miyazaki's achievement.

But of course everyone, and I mean everyone, was wondering what Elden Ring would look like as a PlayStation one game.
Fear not, for London-based 3D artist and VFX supervisor Hoolopee has added Elden Ring to the growing list of de-made games. Hoolopee spent a month putting together a PS1-style version of Elden Ring's trailer. The 3D and VFX artist has form in the de-make style, having made a Nintendo 64-alike version of Halo Infinite.
Hoolopee also shared higher resolution behind-the-scenes images from the trailer he created with Kotaku, which features comparison shots between the PS5 and "PS1" versions of Elden Ring.
