Man, the new dodge rolls look so damn sexy. I hope they release more gameplay footage over the course of the week.

I want to believe this, but after what arkham knight showed for ps4 (on pc) im skeptical.

We'll just have to wait until the games revealed at e3 start coming out.

Even at the beginning of the trailer you can see the boss' facial hair clipping into himself so I don't get the impression the trailer was hiding anything. Something tells me this is a "what you see is what you get" trailer.

From Software has the best art direction of the industry.

This looks incredible, diminishing returns my ass.

Diminishing returns exists on the technical side for everything.

But like you sort of alluded to, art direction/cinematography/photographic framing etc is all way more important. Doesn't hurt that the actual technical side of this game seems to look pretty damn sweet, 30fps aside.

what he said.

Diminishing returns would apply if they used 4 times as much computing power, resources and time to get a higher resolution, higher ploycount image, higher framerate, better animation etc. It would defintely look better, but would everyone, including laymen agree that it look 4 times as good? Or return 4 times as much profit in doing so?

I think as everyone can tell the art direction is the star here, helped along by capable HW and engine.

what do you mean bro?? This game is exclusive to PS4 and Arkham is a multiplatform title. Multiplatform titles are always shown running on PC
 
Lol... maybe? Probably not quite as ehhh, ninja gaiden ish.

I have to think back to some of my 2 handed dex weapon/dodging runs of Dark Souls. You need to be super careful, but at the same time you also want the fight to be over as fast as possible because you don't want to have to keep dodging forever.

Yup :)

Looks incredible, the art direction is just so strong. Amazing how far From Software has come since Demon Souls.

The ginormous scythe is a bit silly though.

the pedigry of this team alone warrants a sell, but god-fucking-dammit, if that is not the best art direction i've seen in years.

I just dont want to get sucked into the hype on the visuals as they are shown currently.

Who knows what will happen when crunch time rolls around? Will they cut back on lighting/effects/shadows to increase performance?

Dont get me wrong, I love nwhat is being shown of the game...just keeping expectations in check regarding visuals.

Fair enough. It is always a possibility that something like this could happen. I just get the feeling this team deserves the benefit of doubt compared to others. The fact that it's a 1 console exclusive should help.

I too hope it stays like this/gets better.
 
This is the most impressive so far as tech goes:

Every single...um..tendril? on his body is moving independently... and the force of his impacts are making them bounce.

That's freaking impressive.
 
The three new themes From Software is pursuing with Bloodborne are: fear and exploring the unknown, intense life-and-death battles, and new and unique online experiences.

So it has the Souls aesthetic but it's a lot darker and more horror driven. I think this game might be the first to actually get me off.
 
CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE!!

THIS AND WILD AND UNCHARTED AND THE ORDER AND RIME AND NO MANS SKY AND ALIENNATION IN 2015

Cut that atmosphere with a knife. Starting to wonder if the disease infesting the city is lycanthropy and not vampirism as I originally thought. Maybe there's both?
