I can't believe Bloodborne from 2015 copied the 2017 Game Breath of the wild! What the hell Miyazaki!

So parrying is a Jojo reference now

I'm afraid breath of the wild (2017) one punch man season 2 (2019, Garou wasn't in season 1)and Stranger things (2016)all released after bloodborne (2015). So, if anything, they would be reusing bloodborne assets. Still an interesting video.

Talks about Berserk and similarities to Dark Souls: *Doesn’t even mention Artorias and Guts pose*

Bloodborne came out before stranger things. Maybe the sound is just in a library or the director or stranger things is a hardcore gamer.

The menu clicking sound in DS3 is the same as the sound The World does when he gets summoned by dio

Okay "slightly large knights" is quite a sweeping category lol

similarities in bosses isn't "reused content" also the bloodborne symbol looks much more like the symbol of the branded in berserk.

You forgot miyazakis obsession with feet and femboys

I like them reusing content and sound for games. Makes me feel familiar when playing different ones and gives you that feeling of playing that studios games.

surprised you've never mentioned king's field once in this considering it's the predecessor to all these games.

The scream sound of Cleric beast is also used in fantasy movies and anime

When smough smashes ornstein and gets lightning, I swear I've heard the electric sound effects in like a million things before

Despite mostly being just a tag of the developer, your not gonna mention the moonlight greatsword? Also there’s that typical mob boss that either has a collective hp pool or you gotta kill a specific way

There are sound effects in audio libraries from the 40's and 50's that are still in use today. Nobody, be it movies, TV, or video games, makes all their sound effects from scratch. They use stock sound effects.

Fire Keepers. Especially Maiden in Black, the Doll, and Dark Souls 3.

The Thing being my favorite movie, and the souls series being my favorite game series makes me happy that they are related! (Also JoJos is my favorite show)

Love how in the audio examples in the beginning you had them cut out and back multiple times through all of them and made it a pain to listen to

Even Elden Ring reuses animations too. The trailer displayed the Wolf Curved Sword weapon art animation that was in DS3, in Elden ring itself.

The big heads scared the shit out of me. I've acquired a new fear. Good comparison video too.

The One Reborn and Tower Knight Boss arenas are similar

2:32 I think it's more similar to the "BLOOD ECHOES RETRIEVED" sound effects tbh

You had my attention when you were talking about sound effects / inspirations from other movies/games/etc. But literally every video game series reuses content from its past entries, so you didn't need to talk about that for half of the video. It's obvious to anyone who's played the games that there are many bosses that are dragons or old men.

Such a treat watching Aldrich trying to survive the nightmare head slowly chipping off his health.

Bvouf: **serius voice** The gameplay: skin people and big heads who kills a boss

The algorithm delivers again

I've seen a few videos show similarities between Souls SFX and other media now. What I REALLY wanna see is someone track down these libraries and specific sound effects (especially the parry sfx, also in jujutsu kaisen i believe)

I notice these SFX a lot, the Mimic moans and growls are exactly the same that Spore creatures usually mutter out

Mind you that there is a not that big sound file library that japanese creators use, so this type of thing is inevitable

I dislike the use of the Demon Souls remake in comparisons, especially how the Flamelurker's design became very bland.

I was watching full metal alchemist and i heard the sound it makes when you consume beast blood pellets in bloodborne

Thx algorithm, great video btw, hope tua channel grows

The hanged man from Bloodborne is literally another berserk reference to gut's curse brand

I love how soul eater just uses dark souls door opening sounds all the time.

Sound FX cuts off in and out between 00:54 and 01:30 . Otherwise great video.

theres a spell in ds1 that sounds exactly like a poe from ocarina of time

Demon's Souls Remake isn't a From Software title it was developed by a western dev.

That was an amazing video. Keep up the good work

The channelers chant being rydell in reverse could possibly be on purpose, and could probably be used as more evidence for the shared universe theory

breath of the wild came out after bloodborne

Even if berserk is never finished I am happy that its spirit will live on in the souls games.

this was great man laughed so hard towards the end

Rising of the Shield hero Season 1 Episode 1 in literally the first few frames the birds make the exact same sounds as those tentacle blue creatures in Dark souls 1(the maidens when the snake guy plays the creepy music) as well as the crow people from DS1. Edit: and the crows from bloodborne like you mentioned

Keep it up bro, these are quality videos :D your will have tons of viewers :))

good video, but you are using the remake of demon souls for reference, wich is no good because they changed a lot of things, for example the penetrator didn't use blood power on his sword, it was soul magic at best, they changed his color just because

Wow good stuff! Parrying and Jojo sharing sound effects is awesome lol. Both could've been pulling from a sound library but still cool as heck. Them sampling The Thing is easily my favorite fun fact here ! 👌

One weird one I found was that the same sound effect plays when you open a large sarcophagus in Bloodborne’s chalice dungeons as when you game over in the Resident Evil 3 remake.

It's funny how alot of things you mentioned came after blood borne and even dark souls 3 sometimes

Could you share all the categories of bosses you made in some form or another.

Great video dude. Hope it picks up steam in the near future.

3:09 I'm pretty sure this scream was in Dark Souls somewhere as well? Maybe the jump scare dudes in Irithyll Dungeon? Or the demon ruins place by catacombs of Carthus? Or the angels?

1:26 and 1:30 are scream and death screams of a boss in a game called star ware fare. If I remember correctly there is another game that also has this death scream, perhaps it was an audio file commonly used at the time?

The lady Maria fight also reminds me of the abyss watchers, with all the fire and similar pace

I feel a little proud of myself for recognizing the Bed of Chaos's Thing noise at some point. Also this video reminded me of a really dumb argument I had regarding the Jojo sfx you pointed out - Dark Souls uses multiple sfx that are in Jojo, I'm pretty sure its just like from a Japan-specific sound library, and some guy on a discord server was completely adamant that the sfx between Jojo and DS weren't the same...well hey at least its out there with a direct comparison video now

Bloodborne came out with that sound bite before stranger things aired. So they probably use the same library as opposed to Bloodborne using the sound from stranger things

Fun fact about the sound at 2:34: There's a finisher for Ash in Apex Legends which uses the exact same sound aswell!

I just realized the crossbow on the cover of berserk is the same as the one in shulva

I just watched the thing the other day and I've been thinking how the Bed of Chaos sound exactly like the thing.

If im not mistaken. The scream in Breath of the Wild and Bloodborne at 3:10 MIGHT also be the same (or a) scream volatiles make in Dying Light. If not its very similar.

When you mentioned weapons that appeared in all Souls games and Bloodborne, not sure about Sekiro because I've yet to play that, you could have mentioned the Moonlight Greatsword. It's a direct reference to the Moonlight Sword from King's Field, which was notably referenced in every Armored Core game as MOONLIGHT, a laser sword that usually is the best available in every game it's in. I'm calling it, Elden Ring will have a sword named Moonlight.

the giant blacksmith in anor londo has GOT to be a reference to the giant blacksmith from majora's mask. they even have similar armor!

First few seconds of the video: yeah I could see that being reused The moment I see WIDE SKELETON:

Gehrman isn't the final boss if you have consumed all three umbilical cords, then it's actually the Moon Presence.

I love that the audio comparison portion specifically has the most audio glitches

yo wtf is the background footage, easily the best part of the video holy shit hahahahahhahaha

Another reused sound, very difficult to notice, is in the cutscene of the first dark souls at the beginning of the game, when the crow grabs the player and carries him to lordran: if you pay attention in the first Lord of the rings film you can hear the same sound in the first scene with the nazgul in the shire, when he comes out of the woods in search of the hobbits

The corvid enemies in 3 also share a large amount of sound effects with the alien parasite monsters in Empyrion: Galactic Survival

The anime Pokémon Journey when introducing Zapdos into the show it has the same sound clip as the Crows and Corvian knights.

the games made by the same teams and directed by the same dude shere common tropes in them such as animations, SWORDS and KNIGHTS, who would've thought!

Tower Knight and One Reborn has very similar arena gimmick: archers or chime maidens shooting at you while you fight the giant boss.

Bandai namco owns the intellectual property of JoJo and The souls games.

Does that mean Fran Walsh's screams have been added to a sound library? I think the Nazgul screams have been used for that boss in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, as well as the Cleric Beast and the giant raven in Dark Souls. That sound is heard in 'The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring' when Frodo and Sam, upon leaving farmer Maggot's orchard, they are in the middle of a road, and Frodo thinks something dangerous is approaching. The ensuing gust of wind carries a faint Nazgul cry from afar. That's the sound used for the giant raven in Dark Souls when it picks you up and drops you in the Firelink Shrine.

This has to be the most hit or miss channel on KZfaq

874 views?? is this real lmao. dude you deserve more!

Regarding the sound effects that are both in these games and other media: Sound Libraries (a collection of several Gigabites worth of sound files) are very often used to make these pieces of media, and some sound libraries might have been shared around, and so the sound designer for dark souls probably got his hands on some sound libraries that were used in other media, probably hollywood level quality ones

Also, in Nier Automata , when Beauvoir turns to you , it shares the same sound to the elevator in Lothric castle, which takes you to the Dragonslayer Armour

I cant remember the exact comparison, but I distinctly remember hearing a sound effect in Dark Souls 1 & immediately jumping up & saying "That's from Symphony of the Night!". I think it's the SotN menu selection noise. I've definitely heard it before in DS1.

Ah yes, my fav boss - The Slightly Large Knight

One of the weirdest sounds used in other media is the ballista ready and fire sound in DS 2 are used in Jojo Stardust Crusaders for a door opening.

I think my favorite reused asset is the slider clicking gotten from Armored Core. I played more Armored Core than I have Dark Souls, and it made me chuckle when creating a character in DS3 that they used the slider clicks from AC4/FA, maybe even earlier.

I don’t think it should be called being lazy I mean it saves time meaning the games can come put faster so it’s a win for devs and us

In case you didn't know, the majority of older game sounds from the 90s,TV shows and cartoons, use sample libraries bought from companies for production use. When you get into audio production professionally and have access to some of these, it's a total mindfuck. You'll hear so many sounds you associated with a specific movie,show or game, like the door noise in doom being in alien lol. Its pretty interesting though! An example of a company Making their own iconic sound would be mass effect. The sound the reapers make is actually a lid on a dumpster near the office they worked at,lol

Ever heard of stock sound effects? They are kinda popular.

I recall a Zullie video in which Agdayne and the Darkluker of Dark Souls 2 was to be one huge Jojo reference in which the Darklurker was originally called, "Agdayne's Stand".

nice vid man

Disappointed how there was no mention of how eye orbs and behelits from Berserk. Specifically the red eye orb being modeled off of the Egg of the King (behelits originate from the Idea of Evil and the Egg represents the one who will take the world for themselves; also the black eye orbs are used to represent vindication or revenge in Dark Souls and I’m pretty sure Guts had a colorless behelit he found in the manga? I may be wrong. But his quest for revenge against Griffith may be a parallel to the black eye orbs mentioned).

Another thing is when we wake Up in yahardull in bloodborne the sound is based on the first part of an berserk videogame called (the song) sign 1

Amazing video. How the hell do you only have 400 subs?

Nice video my guy. You deserve more subs! Hope this helps with the algorithm :)

What's with the skipping audio it's driving me insane

Blood borne symbol is the same as the mark for berserk. Also no mention of kings field and the moonlight great sword?

For the Berserk section you didn't mention the most prominent inspirations like the Greatsword, Eclipse, Red Cracked Eye Orb, Gael's boss fight etc.

"While researching, I was shocked by the lack of reused content" *elden ring starts sweating*

Classic DnD. Spell memorization on rest is how spells work in early editions. Soul Arrow = Magic Missile Fire Orb = Fireball etc. Mimic is an iconic DnD monster. Cruel traps are also a staple of old DnD. Magical darkness full of skeletons and some other themes remind of Fafhrd and Grey mouser books, which are among DnD inspirations, listed in Appendix N Also, Fighting Fantasy, MtG.. BTW, environments from old Lupin 3 anime were IMO used several times in Souls games and Castlevania.

Priscilla's tower being in Ashes of Ariandel is because its literally the painted world in the lore revived by father Ariandel

who cares? this happens all the time in art and in various different mediums. Movies, Music, Video Games all borrow and recycle sounds, samples, themes, camera panning etc etc. good job on figuring out the thing sound clip/the bed of Chaos. Makes me love both even more.

Enemies in the undead settlement use the same gargling death sound effect as Yharnamites

can't forget the pot smashing sound effect, it's gotta be one of the most overused smash sound effects out there

heavy inspiration is onimusha from capcom. i noticed playing dark souls one they use similar sounds and most importantly the souls being currency and a means to level up

I mean yeah there's similarities and repeated design choices but it really doesn't matter at this point, fromsoftware have found a formula that works for their games pretty much every time. Personally I'll be disappointed if Elden Ring doesn't have a poison swamp area, even if I'll hate it and never want to explore that area more than I have to. I'll be disappointed if it doesn't have a larger than average knight, or a boss with one huge arm, I've come to expect and love it from these games. It brings a sense of comfort almost, and the game won't feel like a true fromsoftware game if it doesn't have at least one of the iconic repeated design choices
