I couldn't quite get up at 4.00 but did get an hour in 6.00 - 7.00. Your save does carry over from test to test.
I mostly focused on the swamp; found a mine, wandered to the end of that and beat a boss, some huge troll. Got yet another cool looking weapon I can't use. Gah. The boss fight was really quite easy...I don't know if it's just the mini-bosses at the end of caves / mines but they've not posed much of a challenge so far. I'll be eating these words later, I guess.
Going to have another go tonight at 20.00 CET. Definitely a few more areas to check out.

FlexibleFeline Bear in mind that the preset characters are highly specced, so mini bosses could seam easy because of that

It's 19:00-22:00 right? I can probably kick everyone out by 20:00 latest. |

Watched a bit of yesterday's *whispers* <Eurogamer> stream and I have to say it looks really good. They were playing 3-player co-op, just running about trying bosses and repelling invaders, but it totally sold me on the more open world aspects.
It's a bit of a pity that the multiplayer is exactly the same as Dark Souls though; having to summon people who then can't really interact with the environment while in your game and who disappear if the host dies feels a little restrictive when the game is so much more open. It is what it is, though.

Watched a few streams and will order on PSN. It’s absolutely up my street - looks like a natural conclusion to their other games using the best of each in a dense, open World. Just hope it’s not delayed any further into Spring/Summer as it’ll be perfect for a beast from the east, snowed in extended session.

Some framerate analysis shows the game doesn't have a 30fps cap in quality mode in any of the versions, so they are all running in the 30-35fps range. That explains why I thought it wasn't smooth.
There's still time to launch, maybe they will come to their senses and just enable a framerate cap.

Okay so after only half an hour it seems like a huge step back from sekiro in a gameplay aspect. Visually it's lovely though. Playing in quality mode on the X and everything is crisp.

I mean tree sentinel (horse boss) was almost comical how you could just lock on and circle around him .just wait for him to miss a hit or block it then one hit and repeat until dead. Obviously it wasn't that straight forward but Vs having to fight genichiro....

THERE IS FALL DAMAGE QUAD THERE IS FALL DAMAGE! First death was trying to visit the beach via dropping off a cliff.
Edit
Water is deadly!! Why can't I swim like in sekiro.
So enemies are less dangerous than the map so far

Yeah for me this is backwards to Bloodborne and sekiro. Yeah sure it will probably be my goty 2021 but still it feels backwards. Recently I've played sekiro and botw and it feels old Vs those two.

Okay so it "seems" if I block an attack then immediately attack back I get some kind of bonus attack. Just beat some kind of boss behind a fog wall immediately just spamming that.

I totally missed the actual tutorial area, so went back and just did it. Some of those tips would have been helpful in the first session!
I've continued my character rather than picking again as I wanted to level up a bit and tackle some of the bosses again, took a few of them out now (and found some rather useful items). Next up the dragon from the trailer...!

No open world game has matched the traversal or physics of BOTW, so that isn't hard to fathom. Old vs Oblivion would've been the putdown.

I imagine Elden Ring and Breath of the Wild were going for different things. Same as Sekiro and Elden Souls. Not sure it's worth comparing

You wouldn’t want the chap in Elden Ring traversing walls, would you, plus, stopping time n stuff.

True. Though to be fair, we've had a decade of everything being compared to Dark Souls, including series that had nothing in common with it, like The Witcher. So why stop here?
