This is what happens when people who are not fans or regulars of the Demon and Dark Souls games, expect this to be a hack n' slash, and are disappointed because it's not as fast paced as they assumed it was. Bitches need to know. This game looks good.
To all the newcomers to the genre that think spamming square is going to help them win, they have another thing coming. I can hear it now, "it's to hard, my GOW strategy doesn't work".
haha im soo waiting to read the complains when these game comes out how hard it is... and when peapol get a hang of it they understant it rly is one of the best games of 2015
Gio Santino I have a PS4, PS3, PS2, PS1, Vita, Wii U, 3DS, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Snes and a Neo Geo. Get the picture? I'm sorry if my comment offends or upsets you. From your use of the word "xtwat" I'm guessing you're a bit of a Sony fanboy? Slightly pathetic don't you think?
have you never played a souls game? or any game ever on any system or pc ever. Link throws bombs that magically appear from his pockets, so zelda sucks. it should show him with a backpack the size of a tool-shed carrying 99 bombs. Cause thats more "next gen"
As someone who loves demon souls and dark souls, this is almost like a spiritual successor. Im beyond excited for this. Anyone who played a from software game, knows they create amazing games without a AAA budget. One of its greatest aspects is the feeling of life or death with each encounter, requiring strategy and thinking before just walking into a room. If you think this is a hack and slash game, think again and get ready to die! Its a action RPG. And most gamers have no clue how awesome it feels to progress in a game like this.
I get the feeling that Bloodborne's story is just a metaphor. Maybe the whole story depicts the healing of an illness. You know... the protagonist is ill, and he gets a transfusion. He has a "fever dream" if you will, and the whole game is himself, his immune system, fighting for his life. He fails and dies over and over again, and it's either keep on pushing, or dying. I say this because: -after the transfusion you see a beast coming out of blood. there is a "beast" in his blood, an illness, something that wants to harm him -the beast instantly gets burned when the little guys show up --> immune system burning away the illness, fighting it by consuming and completely obliterating the parasite -the little guys come across as white blood cells. They kinda look like it That would explain how they can move through the city and just pop out of the ground. The city is a metaphor for the protagonist's own body or being. Lol I'm sure this is just one big pile of bullshit, but if it turns out that I'm even remotely right... well... you heard it here first! :D
It’s interesting to see how certain things changed from this version and the final release, like ‘Blood Transfusion Collected’ instead of ‘Blood Echoes Retrieved’ which they decided on (and can see why, it’s much better lol). Also upgrading your weapon at the fireplace instead of the desk in the hunters dream, and talking to Eileen by the dog kennels instead of the rafters near the sewers. The game development process is a very interesting one and you can imagine the amount of work that went onto such an amazing game like this.
If there's one thing i don't like so far it's the "forgotten why he came to the city" approach that they also used in dark souls 2. Kind of seems like a trick to make up for lack of background story. I hope we'll get answers for the questions the beginning awakes or atleast hints...
When you think about it, the humanoid crazy townspeople are growing longer limbs and hairy faces because they are transforming into the werewolf beasts. Oddly enough I missed that before, I just thought it was the games trippy art style.
Also when the player gets amushed he mentions the townspeople have gone back to hunting beasts, and they went straight after you. Totally let something slip there, its very possible its you the player who is the beast and the one whos insane.
"You see the character about to get a blood transfusion after signing a contract with the doctor." "about to get a blood transfusion after signing a contract with the doctor." "blood transfusion...... doctor." "doctor" Suuuuuure.
I'm concerned for those loading times, since they don't show them... We've only seen really long loading times in the beta, so it would be nice to see if they managed to bring them down. As far as what we've seen so far, the loading times are even longer than Demon's Souls, any mention of these in the final version?
Honestly, It annoys me how many things are just Dark Souls mechanics. The bonfire/lamp, the inclusion of shields, the currency,the overall combat, the upgrade system, the this the that, blah blah blah. Which is perfectly fine! It's just I wanted there to be more uniqueness with this one but apart form the setting and art style it plays just like dark Souls.
KenzoPlays Sure but that's only if it's the same game. Obviously I wouldn't want the core mechanics of Dark Souls to ever change but Bloodborne's a new IP. If it's virtually the same thing as Dark Souls then whats the point?
I agree. I'm fine with it too. But I got Lords of the Fallen some months ago. Struggling to finish it. (For obvious reasons. lol) Another Souls game this soon is, it just doesn't work out. Or maybe it will. Unless people got tired of it. Maybe another three years provided there won't be another Souls release, would be better timing.
One Eyed Fontaine well everything ties back to demons souls, not dark souls and this game may be a sequel to demons souls so its understandable if they dont mess with the formula too much
One Eyed Fontaine Who says its a new IP? You see. Fromsoftware made Demon Souls, then Dark Souls. Demon Souls was a Sony exclusive. Now...Why does bloodborne NEED to be a PS4 exclusive? Demon souls wasn't remastered or relaunched to other plataforms. Fromsoftware made a new IP and is helping make it only on PS4? gotta ask some questions before you make statements like that.
It's shocking how many people in the comments haven't heard of the souls series, it's been everywhere in recent years. The games are absolutely phenomenal and easily some of the best I've played in the last decade. No, it is not a fast paced, mind numbing button masher. Each and every action has to be carefully thought out, otherwise you risk death... and we like it that way :)
I'm not really digging the really dark look of the cleric beast in this. I'm hoping its just because this is footage of an earlier build, but I guess we'll only really see on release day.
As a souls fan, i cant get myself to watch this video since it'll just spoil some of the fun but i already know this game will be good.. Its out nearly a month after order 1886 and it has the combined gameplay ive seen on every order 1886 gameplay video in one video. like come on. Need to see the 1st 18 min of the order to see how it plays. We all know bllodborne will be good cause of miyazaki.
well, the first 15 minutes of 1886 is a pre rendered cut scene with a few QTE placed here and there. after that, you'll get to experience walking down linear hallways, beautifully decorated rooms with nothing of importance to interact with and have a very generic TPS cover mechanic shooting system. i hope the game opens up a little more after the first few hours, but it seems like the same over and over.
***** it's frustrating when you see games that show some promise, new IP ideas, detail, and atmosphere, be widdle down to a slightly interactive movie / corridor shooter.
tawilk yeah i like the atmosphere/ the fact that it isnt cross gen and great graphics/premise but the main dealbreaker for me is the black bars/aspect ratio. i cant enjoy games that have 30% off screen cut off
It's kind of an acquire taste, so try playing with an open mind. A lot of people hated Dark Souls when they first played it. Then they get what the game is about, and it becomes their favorite game.
cant wait to play this game, it looks good and the gameplay looks good, i hope the story is just as good. anyone know how this game will handle story telling? almost purely on items like dark souls or like demon souls still cryptic but not as much as Dark souls, and a little more straight forward?
if this world is without magic, then how do you get to and from the Hunter's Dream, which appears to be in another dimension, without some sort of magic? How does the character's actions in he Dream World (i.e. leveling up, weapon/clothing selection, etc.) do or mean anything? Especially when said character returns to the Real World from the Dream World. How is any of this possible without Magic?
I'm sure that the alchemy in the game(if there is any) wouldn't refer to the ability to manipulate dreams. Why do we, the character, have to die to enter the Dream World? As far as the beginning goes, I feel as if they put enough thought into the story for the intro.
I see. But could create an ephemeral realm, i.e. Dream World that people could traverse and reside? Is this one of those "Its not Magic,... But its totally Magic." kind of things? Thanks for e clarification.
why is everything so bright, like the sky. i thought in the alpha it was rainy and night now it looks not that good in terms of atmosphere like the rainy dark alpha with all the effects
Dr. Plague Sort of, it won't be an active cycle, but different areas will have a few different times of day it looks like based on your progression in the game. Sort of implying you'll be traveling back to areas you've been at later points in the game
I have said so when Bloodborne was first announced. Bloodborne's development started shortly after Dark Souls 2, so there is a good chance that there will be some similarity between Bloodborne and Dark Souls 2. After watching this video and some other videos showing interview with From Software developers, it appears that Bloodborne development team used Demon's Souls as reference. Two things are showing in the first 18 minutes of gameplay. 1. Hunter's Dream is similar to Nexus in Demon's Souls that it acts as connection hub for players to warp to different areas. Unlike Dark Souls' Firelink Shrine where players run toward various areas. 2. Hunter's Dream has NPCs and items for trade and weapon upgrade, just like Nexus in Demon's Souls. Dark Souls 2 used Dark Souls as reference, I do hope that Bloodborne is not merely Demon's Souls 2. I want to see From Software be innovative on Bloodborne and take risk to create something revolutionary. Since it turns out that Bloodborne will have shields afterall, I am starting to question if I should have pre-order Bloodborne. I don't want to repeat Dark Souls 2 experience on Bloodborne. Dark Souls 2 is not a bad game, but it just cannot be compared to Dark Souls 1 or Demon's Souls. How will Bloodborne be ranked against the three games in Souls series?
It's "masu" or occasionally "mashita" and they're used at the end of verbs to show present tense or past tense. It's mainly used for formal language or when speaking to superiors. He's just being really respectful/polite towards the viewer which is why he's using it so much.
Never ever? Weren't the last games on PC? I just heard Titanfall is coming to PS4 and Sonic has been in Smash Brothers for years now. Money talks so don't be surprised to see this on PC, I know I won't be. Wait til that exclusivity contract runs out and pick up the Steam Deluxe Edition for $20 cheaper by then. Maybe? Aw cmon I can hope.
Sorry but not a chance, the last games had a new ip on them so they made it to multiplatform but this one runs on demon souls ip which is exclusive for ps3 plus sony is helping From developing this game with their money if from released this game on multiplatform they will get sued. Sorry but this game and its sequels (if they plan for one in the future) will be exclusive for sony
This is spiritual successors of Demons Souls, not Dark Souls. It all began on Playstation 3. Clearly people calling this Dark Souls ripoff never played Demon's Soul or doesn't have PS4.
Love these games. Although I would've liked to see some more character animations given the extra power of the hardware they have to work with. Contextual stuff like if youre dropping from a small ledge there's a dedicated animation where he leans over puts his hand down and leaps over or if your close to a wall and you move slow he puts his back to it. I'm nit picking or course. I'm still going to spend well over 100 hours on this just like all other sails games
This game looks amazing imo, and i have pre-ordered it. Altough i know it's probably gonna be hard since i never played Demon or Dark Souls. They said it's a stand alone game so i'm fine with it and im always up for a challenge. Also in the video he said that even when you are not that good, as long as you learn from your mistakes you will progress. Can't wait till March ^^.
This looks amazing and it will look even more amazing when it's released. Xbone can't even come close to a exclusive like this. Even P5, Street fighter 5, Uncharted 4 etc. The only thing Xbone has going for it is a timed exclusive tomb raider lol and Xbox fanboys are starving for that dx12 drink and a halo5 Grillcheese 720p sandwich for there lunchboxone Lol
I don't like the fact that you have to go always into the Hunter's Dream. It'll broke the immersione in the area where you were and the continuity of the game, I think :/
The more I see the more excited I get!! It really looks like you have to think about your next move. Souls was a much slower game from what I can see (that's not a bad thing) I'm ready for the switch up!
for me it simply seems like a souls game with more aggressivity but less build possibilities (2h weapon, 2 weapons, weapon + gun/shield/machination)... instead of showing the same stuff we saw from beta footage already, i would have liked some explanations abut what's up with that arcane stat - i thought magic was ruled out? why still have an arcane stat? to boost stat dmg? o0
perhaps you can enchant weapons/ shields/ guns with arcane properties? i dunno - we'll just have to wait and see. perhaps there will be more things shown in the coming month
From Software has a tendency to explain things in a very obtuse manner, and almost minimalist. Chances are they may never explain it and we have to figure it out in game. That's sort of how they do it
I love the Demon Souls feel to it. PvP would be hard if you have to stumble enemies from behind until you can land a critical hit. I wonder how the guns will effect that when you can shot them in front of you and stumble the enemy.
***** it's just the way the games opens, like you're just thrust into the environment, no warning or other opening explanation. also the first person portion is what gives off the most nostalgia.
Hoping there at lease 2 ending like demon souls & dark souls did . P.S hellblade also a ps4 exclusive by ninja theory looks like something souls fans will like
ya cause dark souls had fast paced game play and no shields and no heavy armor and 8 person multiplier and randomly generated dungeons and guns and transforming weapons how could i forget.
So, are you saying that Dark Souls 2 is not Dark Souls 1.5 but Bloodborne is Dark Souls 2.5? Because it doesn't make much sense, I can get someone saying DS 2 is just DS 1.5, but seeing how Bloodborne is changing the focus of combat to be more offensive and act on instinct rather than waiting for an opening like it's predecessors, it's hard to say it's Dark Souls 2.5.
God damn I can't wait for this fucking game. I am all aboard the hype train, this game will be the BEST game man. Idk why they decided to change the time of day in this area, but I don't see a problem with it, if they keep the other areas dark and keep a use for torches.
Oh okay, I'm just a bit skeptical after playing Demons. I preferred dark souls 1, I almost every way and I hoping it's not tied to either. I was underwhelmed going from dark to demons, and I'm betting on miyazaki having the space he needs. SCE just isn't my favorite , especially since the splinter within team ICO. But I expect this to be a good game regardless of my taste. I hope Sony has cooperated with miyazaki and Fromsoft completely though. But again, demons just wasn't as good as dark imo.
Hmmm might skip this one, im sure it will be a nice change of pace for the hardcore souls fans but i might hold out until Demon souls 2 as bloodborne doesn't appeal to me without armours and huge demons to square off against. I know people are gonna say "are you kidding? theres 3 bosses in the alpha." yes thats true but they aren't very demon-like at all, and have parry as a forced mechanic is a big no for me. Also fast travel warping right from the start kinda sucks.
Demon Souls was all about fast travel warp from the start, just like this one. The differece is this one has a connected world (or it seems so) while DeS has 5 separate miniworlds.
I do understand that demon souls had fast travel, but i didn't mind so much because it has better animations and graphics than dark souls 2 xD. And yeah forced parry being the gun with limited ammo.
I think it will play out more like dark souls though, The quality is like dark souls and the game play looks more related to dark souls then demon souls. Though I haven't played demon souls, this is just going off of videos I watch on demon souls. But you could be right.. Either way, I don't care, I just want it to come to xbox one so I can play and support this game. If it never happens, I'll end up watching game play footage. I love what these guys do for these type of games.
This developer, From Software, should be given the job of making the future installments of the Castlevania series! I see a lot of resemblance.
This is what the new castlevania games should of been like
SAINTXWARRIOR
lol ya all the enmies are identical, you run around at 0.001 miles per hour...so awesome.
*****
whoa someone has their panties in a twist.
seantendo001 says the kid going around arguing with people and stating stupid things. Making yourself look more stupid dude.
*****
lol you're so emotional...it's cute.
This is what happens when people who are not fans or regulars of the Demon and Dark Souls games, expect this to be a hack n' slash, and are disappointed because it's not as fast paced as they assumed it was. Bitches need to know. This game looks good.
To all the newcomers to the genre that think spamming square is going to help them win, they have another thing coming. I can hear it now, "it's to hard, my GOW strategy doesn't work".
haha im soo waiting to read the complains when these game comes out how hard it is... and when peapol get a hang of it they understant it rly is one of the best games of 2015
You guys are just trying to justify a reason why you bought a shitstation 4. This game looks TERRIBLE.
That's just your opinion and I'm pretty sure anyone who is a fan of Demon's souls or Dark souls doesn't value it.
TheNightmare619 That doesn't work in GoW either if you play on a respectable difficulty.
I love how respectful Japanese people are.
I love how his weapons appear out of nowhere after opening a door or gate. Now that is next gen.
Gio Santino I have a PS4, PS3, PS2, PS1, Vita, Wii U, 3DS, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Snes and a Neo Geo. Get the picture? I'm sorry if my comment offends or upsets you. From your use of the word "xtwat" I'm guessing you're a bit of a Sony fanboy? Slightly pathetic don't you think?
So which next gen shows the correct animation?
GTA V...
DinoCujko GTA V isn't next gen try again kiddo
have you never played a souls game? or any game ever on any system or pc ever. Link throws bombs that magically appear from his pockets, so zelda sucks. it should show him with a backpack the size of a tool-shed carrying 99 bombs. Cause thats more "next gen"
As someone who loves demon souls and dark souls, this is almost like a spiritual successor. Im beyond excited for this. Anyone who played a from software game, knows they create amazing games without a AAA budget.

If you think this is a hack and slash game, think again and get ready to die! Its a action RPG. And most gamers have no clue how awesome it feels to progress in a game like this.
That viscera attack animation looks really cool, ripping the enemy's heart with bare hand like Albert Wesker.
I get the feeling that Bloodborne's story is just a metaphor. Maybe the whole story depicts the healing of an illness. You know... the protagonist is ill, and he gets a transfusion. He has a "fever dream" if you will, and the whole game is himself, his immune system, fighting for his life. He fails and dies over and over again, and it's either keep on pushing, or dying.
I say this because:
-after the transfusion you see a beast coming out of blood. there is a "beast" in his blood, an illness, something that wants to harm him
-the beast instantly gets burned when the little guys show up --> immune system burning away the illness, fighting it by consuming and completely obliterating the parasite
-the little guys come across as white blood cells. They kinda look like it
That would explain how they can move through the city and just pop out of the ground. The city is a metaphor for the protagonist's own body or being.
Lol I'm sure this is just one big pile of bullshit, but if it turns out that I'm even remotely right... well... you heard it here first! :D
iWillWakeYouUp oh..man i like your therory....i suggest u stanley kubriks movies...cheers mate..
If someone says this looks like Dark Souls without mentioning Demons Souls one more time.
It looks like dark souls
Dr. Plague ಠ_ಠ
}:{B
What is hell is a Demon soul?
suicidenike23 The one that started all, the father of the souls game.
The story looks really interesting, it has that mystery element, and the combat's awesome.
I've never been more excited for a game. It looks fantastic and appears to have made many improvements to the gameplay of earlier souls games.
I am going to miss my biggest friend: Shield
Bloodborne is like Demon's & Dark Souls: boring when watching others play, but a fuckload of fun when you're in control.
March can't come any faster.
3:55 "That's just a doll."
I don't know why, but I couldn't help laughing when the developer said that.
It’s interesting to see how certain things changed from this version and the final release, like ‘Blood Transfusion Collected’ instead of ‘Blood Echoes Retrieved’ which they decided on (and can see why, it’s much better lol). Also upgrading your weapon at the fireplace instead of the desk in the hunters dream, and talking to Eileen by the dog kennels instead of the rafters near the sewers.

Bloodborne is Treasure of Playstation ! Masterpiece , one of the best game i've ever played in my LIFE.
I bought the PS4 just for this game
Wow, i just learned that the bell tolling has signifiance....it indicates when the crowed will disperse from the bonfire...crazy!!
Thank you, Yamigawa-san!
I'm calling it, the twist of the game is that you were a beast the whole time.
If there's one thing i don't like so far it's the "forgotten why he came to the city" approach that they also used in dark souls 2. Kind of seems like a trick to make up for lack of background story. I hope we'll get answers for the questions the beginning awakes or atleast hints...
That doll is the NPC voiced by the maiden in black. I guarantee it.
When you think about it, the humanoid crazy townspeople are growing longer limbs and hairy faces because they are transforming into the werewolf beasts. Oddly enough I missed that before, I just thought it was the games trippy art style.
Also when the player gets amushed he mentions the townspeople have gone back to hunting beasts, and they went straight after you. Totally let something slip there, its very possible its you the player who is the beast and the one whos insane.
That Veteran Hunter chick kinda looked like she had Plague Doctor apparel on. I am going to be so hyped if you can wear Plague Doctor clothes.
You are in luck!
"It's like Dark Souls with guns"
10/10
Anyone else notice that when the character preforms a back stab, his arm begins to deform and then revert back at the end?
This game looks incredible!
"You see the character about to get a blood transfusion after signing a contract with the doctor."
"about to get a blood transfusion after signing a contract with the doctor."
"blood transfusion...... doctor."
"doctor"
Suuuuuure.
is it because the gameplay is in daytime not nighttime as in the demo or the graphic look downgraded?
***** who is John Stark?
its not the final product its the same as alpha but in more daylight and open paths
the daytime shows illuminates the textures and shows more aliasing.
at night look much better.
I'm concerned for those loading times, since they don't show them... We've only seen really long loading times in the beta, so it would be nice to see if they managed to bring them down. As far as what we've seen so far, the loading times are even longer than Demon's Souls, any mention of these in the final version?

Never change a Running system, same goes for games
KenzoPlays Sure but that's only if it's the same game. Obviously I wouldn't want the core mechanics of Dark Souls to ever change but Bloodborne's a new IP. If it's virtually the same thing as Dark Souls then whats the point?

>Totally new game we should be happy for.
>People bitch about it.
I... I don't... what!?
Looks really good !
"The beast is coming after you now"
Thanks I didn't notice
I love the fact that in this game they show that every enemy is like the mini boss I love that idea from (From Software)
It's shocking how many people in the comments haven't heard of the souls series, it's been everywhere in recent years. The games are absolutely phenomenal and easily some of the best I've played in the last decade. No, it is not a fast paced, mind numbing button masher.

Some people sad the Dark Souls was (partly) a homage to Berserk. In this case Bloodborne is a homage to Vampire Hunter D! :D
oh 'homage' is the word you're thinking of :P
FountainofFire
Thanks.

i hope the game opens up a little more after the first few hours, but it seems like the same over and over.
tawilk yeah i saw the 1st hour walkthrough in a little degraded quality, probably not putting out 60$ for that.
***** it's frustrating when you see games that show some promise, new IP ideas, detail, and atmosphere, be widdle down to a slightly interactive movie / corridor shooter.
tawilk yeah i like the atmosphere/ the fact that it isnt cross gen and great graphics/premise but the main dealbreaker for me is the black bars/aspect ratio. i cant enjoy games that have 30% off screen cut off
PS4 has some damn good exclusives!
Buy PS4 :)
Can somebody please explain me what Arcane is? Is it important? Can I level up without worrying of messing up my stats?
Anyone remember Nightmare creatures and the Tenchu series ? good ol days
People weren't prepared for what was to come with Bloodborne.
damn ign, can the subs be any bigger?
My worry about the game are gone thank bloody goodness, I can pre order now with faith.
right around 1:30 i was really expecting a "hey there...fullmetal"
I hope I don't have to go through that Veteran Huntress' whole storyline before I can get my hands on that badass Plague Doctor gear.
Im a new comer to this game never played a game like it, should I still get it?
It's kind of an acquire taste, so try playing with an open mind. A lot of people hated Dark Souls when they first played it. Then they get what the game is about, and it becomes their favorite game.
My body is ready
This was up like last week im confused?
The aliasing is distracting but that game looks good gameplay wise and graphics wise.
cant wait to play this game, it looks good and the gameplay looks good, i hope the story is just as good. anyone know how this game will handle story telling? almost purely on items like dark souls or like demon souls still cryptic but not as much as Dark souls, and a little more straight forward?
OMG! Can't wait!!! It looks great.
if this world is without magic, then how do you get to and from the Hunter's Dream, which appears to be in another dimension, without some sort of magic? How does the character's actions in he Dream World (i.e. leveling up, weapon/clothing selection, etc.) do or mean anything? Especially when said character returns to the Real World from the Dream World. How is any of this possible without Magic?
There's going to be some magic
It's called science and alchemy
I'm sure that the alchemy in the game(if there is any) wouldn't refer to the ability to manipulate dreams. Why do we, the character, have to die to enter the Dream World? As far as the beginning goes, I feel as if they put enough thought into the story for the intro.
Alchemy is in the game as a stat; replacing intelligence and faith according to the 18 minutes gameplay a few days back
I see. But could create an ephemeral realm, i.e. Dream World that people could traverse and reside? Is this one of those "Its not Magic,... But its totally Magic." kind of things? Thanks for e clarification.
I feel like this is an asmr video
Graphics have been downgraded? Seems like in the alpha footage graphics were waay better??? O0
So this is like devil may cry? Dmc series? Stage and boss and all. Or free roam? Im a noob. Didnt so much research. ..
This is nowhere near like Devil May Cry.
Yeah its very much like Devil may cry mixed with GTA.
Steve Devlin Yeah I think I saw some COD there as well. and the influence from Assassin's Creed is really noticeable.
I'm also getting a metal gear rising vibe from this game too.
Can't wait for this...
why is everything so bright, like the sky. i thought in the alpha it was rainy and night now it looks not that good in terms of atmosphere like the rainy dark alpha with all the effects
I could be wrong but they say that the game will feature day and night cycle which is pretty damn cool!
Dr. Plague Sort of, it won't be an active cycle, but different areas will have a few different times of day it looks like based on your progression in the game. Sort of implying you'll be traveling back to areas you've been at later points in the game
oh ok so i thought its like the pre build of ds2 and the released game ^^
I still remember dying to that beast in Iosefka's clinic the first time... I didnt even last 2 seconds...
"The beast is coming after me now. " NO SHIT SHERLOCK
I have said so when Bloodborne was first announced. Bloodborne's development started shortly after Dark Souls 2, so there is a good chance that there will be some similarity between Bloodborne and Dark Souls 2.
After watching this video and some other videos showing interview with From Software developers, it appears that Bloodborne development team used Demon's Souls as reference. Two things are showing in the first 18 minutes of gameplay.
1. Hunter's Dream is similar to Nexus in Demon's Souls that it acts as connection hub for players to warp to different areas. Unlike Dark Souls' Firelink Shrine where players run toward various areas.
2. Hunter's Dream has NPCs and items for trade and weapon upgrade, just like Nexus in Demon's Souls.
Dark Souls 2 used Dark Souls as reference, I do hope that Bloodborne is not merely Demon's Souls 2. I want to see From Software be innovative on Bloodborne and take risk to create something revolutionary. Since it turns out that Bloodborne will have shields afterall, I am starting to question if I should have pre-order Bloodborne. I don't want to repeat Dark Souls 2 experience on Bloodborne. Dark Souls 2 is not a bad game, but it just cannot be compared to Dark Souls 1 or Demon's Souls.
How will Bloodborne be ranked against the three games in Souls series?
Arguably the best game in the series to this day, and that’s after Elden Ring came out
Is it me or does everytime he speaks it ends with a "-mas".
".....-mas"
"hoto.....-mas"
"shon.....-mas...."
"....inta....-mas"
It's "masu" or occasionally "mashita" and they're used at the end of verbs to show present tense or past tense. It's mainly used for formal language or when speaking to superiors. He's just being really respectful/polite towards the viewer which is why he's using it so much.
macabremariah This is why i love the japanese.
If this game is anything as hard as the souls games then the guy playing it is amazing!
Looks awesome. I must get this.
That boss looks awesome.
So umm..you can call souls as Blood Echoes, but it doesn't change the fact that they are souls (in a way these echoes are used)
PC please?
It was denied by one of the producers its a demons souls ip so its never gonna happen
Never ever? Weren't the last games on PC? I just heard Titanfall is coming to PS4 and Sonic has been in Smash Brothers for years now. Money talks so don't be surprised to see this on PC, I know I won't be. Wait til that exclusivity contract runs out and pick up the Steam Deluxe Edition for $20 cheaper by then. Maybe? Aw cmon I can hope.
Sorry but not a chance, the last games had a new ip on them so they made it to multiplatform but this one runs on demon souls ip which is exclusive for ps3 plus sony is helping From developing this game with their money if from released this game on multiplatform they will get sued. Sorry but this game and its sequels (if they plan for one in the future) will be exclusive for sony
Ah well. Will have to miss them then unless somebody gifts me a PS4. Well that sucks...
Yup sucks
Never got into dark souls but I would love to give this a try
This is spiritual successors of Demons Souls, not Dark Souls.
It all began on Playstation 3.
Clearly people calling this Dark Souls ripoff never played Demon's Soul or doesn't have PS4.
Love these games. Although I would've liked to see some more character animations given the extra power of the hardware they have to work with. Contextual stuff like if youre dropping from a small ledge there's a dedicated animation where he leans over puts his hand down and leaps over or if your close to a wall and you move slow he puts his back to it. I'm nit picking or course. I'm still going to spend well over 100 hours on this just like all other sails games
i was told your not able to get diffrent armors like dark souls and demon souls in bloodborne is that true?
Yes it is
ObliviousOathkeeper so basicly they made a great game, and then ruined a very important aspect of the game making it less interresting to explore
ThundeRZ Lundorff no it's just a joke, it's going to be very reminiscent to demons souls. There will still be passion for fashion in this game :)
***** ah thank you, :P there we go, my heart skipped a beat :D
More feather and leather
This game looks amazing imo, and i have pre-ordered it. Altough i know it's probably gonna be hard since i never played Demon or Dark Souls. They said it's a stand alone game so i'm fine with it and im always up for a challenge. Also in the video he said that even when you are not that good, as long as you learn from your mistakes you will progress. Can't wait till March ^^.
The fanboys in the comments never cease to give me a good laugh.
so the doll in bloodborne is maid in black in demon souls
The guy you speak to at 13:00 sounds like Mr salad fingers.
This looks amazing and it will look even more amazing when it's released. Xbone can't even come close to a exclusive like this. Even P5, Street fighter 5, Uncharted 4 etc. The only thing Xbone has going for it is a timed exclusive tomb raider lol and Xbox fanboys are starving for that dx12 drink and a halo5 Grillcheese 720p sandwich for there lunchboxone Lol
I don't like the fact that you have to go always into the Hunter's Dream. It'll broke the immersione in the area where you were and the continuity of the game, I think :/
I can't wait for this game!!!!
The more I see the more excited I get!! It really looks like you have to think about your next move. Souls was a much slower game from what I can see (that's not a bad thing) I'm ready for the switch up!
for me it simply seems like a souls game with more aggressivity but less build possibilities (2h weapon, 2 weapons, weapon + gun/shield/machination)... instead of showing the same stuff we saw from beta footage already, i would have liked some explanations abut what's up with that arcane stat - i thought magic was ruled out? why still have an arcane stat? to boost stat dmg? o0
If you look at the part where he equips a weapon it looks like you can dual wield guns n main weapons.Plus Shields have been confirmed .
perhaps you can enchant weapons/ shields/ guns with arcane properties? i dunno - we'll just have to wait and see. perhaps there will be more things shown in the coming month
From Software has a tendency to explain things in a very obtuse manner, and almost minimalist. Chances are they may never explain it and we have to figure it out in game. That's sort of how they do it
I don't need it I don't need it I don't need it (*feels the rush for battle*) I NEED IT!!!!
Game of the year right here
Hunter's Dream, my new favorite hub.
I love the Demon Souls feel to it. PvP would be hard if you have to stumble enemies from behind until you can land a critical hit. I wonder how the guns will effect that when you can shot them in front of you and stumble the enemy.
hopefully this build is early enough that they add some form of anti aliasing
pc plz !
hahaha never
keep waiting for Demons Souls and The Last of Us Pc port too while you at it
LMAO
Begging.
GreekGod88 I hate you lol
They've pretty firmly denied a PC release.
if you are souls fan you will recognize the sound in 1:54 i hope they didnt use more
it has this bioshock-ish opening that i really enjoy. it's very familiar, like a gamer welcome wagon to greatness
***** it's just the way the games opens, like you're just thrust into the environment, no warning or other opening explanation. also the first person portion is what gives off the most nostalgia.
A game where my character wont turn into a mummie after dying, the tears man, they wont stop.... this doll dammit i want to konw more about this doll.
This video is kinda redundant to those of us awaiting new information.
Hoping there at lease 2 ending like demon souls & dark souls did . P.S hellblade also a ps4 exclusive by ninja theory looks like something souls fans will like
dark souls 2.5?
no
ya cause dark souls had fast paced game play and no shields and no heavy armor and 8 person multiplier and randomly generated dungeons and guns and transforming weapons how could i forget.
If anything it's demon souls 2.
So, are you saying that Dark Souls 2 is not Dark Souls 1.5 but Bloodborne is Dark Souls 2.5? Because it doesn't make much sense, I can get someone saying DS 2 is just DS 1.5, but seeing how Bloodborne is changing the focus of combat to be more offensive and act on instinct rather than waiting for an opening like it's predecessors, it's hard to say it's Dark Souls 2.5.
God damn I can't wait for this fucking game. I am all aboard the hype train, this game will be the BEST game man. Idk why they decided to change the time of day in this area, but I don't see a problem with it, if they keep the other areas dark and keep a use for torches.
Why is a producer walking a through instead of a dev like Big M or anyone from fromsoft
In Japan, producers are much more involved with the games creatively than producers in the West are.
Oh okay, I'm just a bit skeptical after playing Demons. I preferred dark souls 1, I almost every way and I hoping it's not tied to either. I was underwhelmed going from dark to demons, and I'm betting on miyazaki having the space he needs. SCE just isn't my favorite , especially since the splinter within team ICO. But I expect this to be a good game regardless of my taste. I hope Sony has cooperated with miyazaki and Fromsoft completely though. But again, demons just wasn't as good as dark imo.
Hope I don't corrupt my save file like in DS
Readng the comments is a terrible idea. Nothing but ignorance, trolls and hate for an awesome game. Why can't people just enjoy the new game in peace?
Hmmm might skip this one, im sure it will be a nice change of pace for the hardcore souls fans but i might hold out until Demon souls 2 as bloodborne doesn't appeal to me without armours and huge demons to square off against. I know people are gonna say "are you kidding? theres 3 bosses in the alpha." yes thats true but they aren't very demon-like at all, and have parry as a forced mechanic is a big no for me. Also fast travel warping right from the start kinda sucks.
Demon Souls was all about fast travel warp from the start, just like this one. The differece is this one has a connected world (or it seems so) while DeS has 5 separate miniworlds.
Forced parry?
I do understand that demon souls had fast travel, but i didn't mind so much because it has better animations and graphics than dark souls 2 xD. And yeah forced parry being the gun with limited ammo.
Darth Wishh " it has better animations and graphics than dark souls 2" Demon's Souls had less polygons in its models and its animations were stiffer.
ShredST The animations in demon souls were absolutely fantastic compared to other titles.
As I am watching this, I am hoping to be able to resist watching first gameplay of Dark Souls 3 =[[[
this does not look like the e3 demo
game needs to come out on xbox one. I love dark souls series and this is right up that ally.
This is not dark souls its a demons souls succesor do some research
@Dr.Plague..... You people make me sick
AnnonamusKillah I am a plague after all you should be more careful my friend
If played dark souls 2 and demon souls. I think you would agree it has more things similar to dark souls 2 then demon souls.
I think it will play out more like dark souls though, The quality is like dark souls and the game play looks more related to dark souls then demon souls. Though I haven't played demon souls, this is just going off of videos I watch on demon souls. But you could be right.. Either way, I don't care, I just want it to come to xbox one so I can play and support this game. If it never happens, I'll end up watching game play footage. I love what these guys do for these type of games.
