First off, my apologies for reminding you that you simply’re in all probability lacking Elden Ring so much proper about now. Although I sadly don’t convey you information concerning the upcoming DLC, I feel you’d wish to know that Twitter consumer twistedgwazi modded Elden Ring to show one of many nice dragon Placidusax’s assaults into essentially the most spectacular explosion I’ve ever seen in a sport.

Contemplate placing in your sun shades earlier than witnessing what lies beneath — even when simply to look cool:

That’s not even a cutscene. That factor is occurring in real-time — supplied your PC can deal with it. We nonetheless don’t get to expertise that ourselves because the mod isn’t out but, however twistedgwazi has launched a breakdown of how he obtained it to work.

The method seems to be fairly difficult, and, in twistedgwazi’s personal phrases, it concerned “precise f*cking witchcraft”. It seems that the tough half wasn’t the visuals, however the audio. Lengthy story brief, they wanted so as to add three invisible entities to the world to get the sound to work on that THX degree that this factor requires. One among these entities has the job of transferring actually quick towards the participant, and one other is there simply to play actually loud sounds.

Oh yeah, there’s additionally the truth that certainly one of these entities has the ability to show a billion levels per second.

At first, this appears like yet one more peculiarly superior Oppenheimer crossover occasion. However its inspiration truly comes from elsewhere.

It’s in all probability going to sound apparent to everybody who’s seen it already, however twistedgazi made it to honor the shock megahit that’s Godzilla Minus One. [Editor’s note: Oh hey look, it’s me.]

the atomic breath in minus one was truly the inspiration for this; the lightning strikes to start with have been meant to imitate the again spikes clicking into place, and the audio slicing out simply earlier than it hits was based mostly on godzilla’s spikes going again down as he fires the beam
