Yeah so...this game. Why can't I play it right now? Seems unfair to me.

It's all the more sweet just been teased with the wait. Can't wait for this. It's easily one of my most anticipated games this gen.
 
I think Bloodborne was one of the highlights for Sony at E3. I just didn't see enough to get excited yet. Looks like it'll end up being awesome though.

Holy crap. The setting and atmosphere is amazing. Don't take this the wrong way but in some of those scenes with the forrest pathways it's like a nightmare version of Fable. Love it.

For some reason I'm getting a 3D Castlevania vibe. And I mean that as a compliment.

It kind of looks like the 2D games artstyle brought to life in 3D.
 
I love the atmosphere to it. I will buy this game. I will likely never finish it, but I will buy it if for nothing else to ensure that games like this continue to be created.

That's always a good approach. Some would call it wasting money. I call it supporting developers who deserve it.
 
I haven't bought any of the games in this series. But I'll probably get this.

I used to be a big fan of their King's Field games.
 
Looking at implementing a photomode after the success of TLoU and Infamous. Awesome news.

The screenshot feature is awesome. The X1 needs to add it quick. There were many times I wanted to take one but couldn't.

It is coming though, right ? I recall multiple times where MS stated it was in the works.
It just makes sense to add this feature to all games. Not only do gamers want it, but it will also allow your game to spread around the net and get more attention.
 
Any new gameplay videos besides that which was around its E3 announcement?

I think I read somewhere that it's supposed to be but I'm not 100% sure. Doesn't make sense if not though.

Very slick. I like the way the sword turns into a halberd at one point. Im guessing that your weapons have upgrade paths because in another parr the gun fired like a grenade that killed some flying creature. I can't wait for this.

They'll need to make sure the games have a dedicated button set aside for snapping photos, voice commands would be far too slow for snapping any action pictures.

As far as Bloodborne, this game has an awesome art style and great atmosphere. I guess it's coming out fairly close to The Order as well, I thought that was too early but unless it gets delayed it'll be out by March going by what Jim Ryan said.
 
Game looks awesome, but also like it will depress the hell out of me. Everything is so dark and ominous, just like a souls inspired game should be, but I'll have to play it in small bursts.
 
Bloodborne is starting to feel like a smoother, more welcoming Dark Souls

ere's a looseness, a fluidity of movement, that marks Bloodborneapart from Hidetaka Miyazaki's previous work with Demon's Soulsand the Dark Souls games.

This ought not be taken as a sign of approval or disapproval. It's merely a note onBloodborne's remit, to move a marker along a rail, away from those previous games' celebrated individuality and difficulty, and towards the outskirts of more recognizable third-person action RPGs, without quite becoming those things.

Playing Bloodborne's Gamescom build at a special event held at Sony's San Mateo, CA, offices yesterday, I understood that this is still the sort of game where progress is earned and victories are won hard, even though the difficulty level had been softened for demo purposes. Miyazaki said at E3 that he would not abandon his interpretation of video games as challenges, and it would be a shame if the relatively straightforward nature of this demo tempted some to doubt his word.

But yes, this is a game designed to be different from those that have come before.

It is a two-handed combat game and, given that the axe is new to me, and that I very much enjoy axes, that was the main weapon I picked. Wielded with the character's right hand, it can lay great damage with a fairly slow arc, or even greater damage with an even slower arc.

Both feel satisfying, but at every single appropriate opportunity, I pressed the L1 button in order to extend the axe from being merely a few feet long, to being as long as a tall man is high. In two-handed mode, that thing has a monstrous arc and, once again, the option to go slow and hard or fast and softer.

I also wielded a pistol in left hand, a ridiculously puny weapon that is best used sparingly in order to push enemies back. In effect, it is a shield.

At one stage, in a desperate fight, I tried to use it as a primary weapon, and rendered pathetic levels of damage to my foe. Other guns may offer more mettle, but it seems likely that this is going to be a game where melee is the master, as is only proper.

There were other range options, such as stones and Molotov cocktails, picked up along the way. Enemies can be targeted by pressing L3, which is a must when facing multiple bad guys at range, and is also useful in melee situations.


These extras, including blood vials to regenerate health, are all part of the game's RPGness, the details of which are not yet available to explore.

Movement is key, whether that be a short and quick step back from an attack, or a series of rolls and jumps, designed to keep multiple strikes at bay. If you find the Dark Souls games to be too murderously challenging, this comparative lightning speed of movement, out of the path of trouble, may feel like a blessing.

Bloodborne, as anyone who has viewed the trailers will know, is a darkly beautiful game. The monsters and zombies that inhabit the cobbled streets of its late-Victorian city are really special, drawn with finesse and grace. Likewise, fog-bound lanes, dripping buildings, elegant bridges and keenly designed skylines are a joy to explore. This feels like a world where the story will be told not so much through dialogue, but through architecture.

From Software's Bloodborne is seeking to widen the appeal of its tough-as-nails combat games, while keeping hard-won fans on-side. So far, progress looks good.
