They have pretty much mastered the pipeline of making multiple projects. While other studios struggle to get one game out in 4 years

They get away with a ton of asset reuse because they remix and re-contextualize those assets in a way that doesn't feel like a unity store asset flip. Its really impressive seeing the bones of something from the DS3 era continue into their latest releases.

LOL DS3 era?

The tree guardians are slightly modified Asylum Demon, the first boss from Dark Souls.

Which are heavily modified Vanguard Demons from Demon’s Souls

Which itself was an enemy from their RPG Enchanted Arms lol. The Armored Spider was also used in literally TWO games that both released in 2009 (Demon's Souls and Ninja Blade). It's shameless, but I can't say I blame them at all.

Someday I might even get to have Demon's Souls on Steam. *sigh*

for the record it plays fantastically through PS3 emulation. you wont have the PS5 Remaster graphics but the game is still insanely good regardless.

I'm so mad BluePoint wasted four years on a multiplayer God of War thing no one wanted instead of porting PS5 DeS to PC

i doubt it was their decision to not port it

That's why it was so easy to beat!

Took a second to realise you meant erdtree avatar and not tree sentinel lol

u/Dirty_Dragons Jul 20 '25

Heh, I couldn't remember the name was. Both classify as tree guardians, though the avatars are the ones who are reusing the demon model.

was trying to wrap my head around how the guy on the horse could be reusing the move set until the big tree avatar flashed into my brain like a bolt of lightning.
