Bloodborne gameplay : The first 18 minutes

I think they cut the opening cutscene from this video. Anyone else agree? Or does Bloodborne really start like that? Not that I would mind, but an opening cinematic would be nice to have.

I think they cut that and they also said they cut the character creation. Honestly, people had no real reason to worry about spoilers, cause From are being super secretive about most of the game. Who knew we were watching the first part with the Alpha footage this whole time?

They do,the starting cutscene in the video is the cutscene after you created your character I think.

They cut the character creation, and if there's a cutscene it's probably before that. So I'm thinking it's likely they just didn't include it in the video.

I'm really glad if that's the case. FROM's opening cutscenes have always delivered! (At least for the Souls games, can't talk about anything else)
 
ok well if you've never been in those threads, I can tell you those two games have gotten plenty of criticism/discussion of their graphics on GAF

tons of posters complained about SO being 900p and FH2 not looking as good as Driveclub

Damn kids these days! Back in my day we walked to arcades to play Mortal Kombat and we didn't complain about no silly 900p. If the game was fun it was fun!

Don't want any of that combo nonsense in this game. If you want to juggle fools who don't fight back then stick to those games.

Never said I want enemies who don't fight back (although many of the enemies in this video just stand there oblivious). I was just thinking more like Xbox Ninja Gaiden; a skill-based, fast-paced combo system instead of the normal weighty Souls combat. Just my opinion, no need to go full piranha.

It's hard to believe so much time has passed since the project beast hype train thread... This is truly the first next gen title I've been waiting for.
 
Glad to see a shift in discussion here, and also folks agreeing with my thoughts on Bloodtinge being related to health retrieval in combat.

So, people who played the alpha are saying the framerate is better but the AA is worse? Sounds like perhaps they couldn't optimize the performance any further in other ways, so they decided to reduce/cut AA in favor of framerate. Just speculation of course, but it would make sense. Good decision? Who knows, we'll have to see about that.
 
Anyone notice something odd happens when the warewolf first injures the character? There's some kind of graphical effect surrounding the hunter. Status effect?

Indication that your can do your "revenge" attack to get health back? I haven't watched the video, just speculating.

I started watching some of the footage, had to stop. I don't want to spoil anymore of it. I can't wait. Looks great from what I've seen.

I really hope they do something about the aliasing before release because it really drags the visuals down.

Negativity aside, I'm really loving what I've seen of the animations and gameplay so far. The blood mechanic is especially cool. It should be interesting to see how it interplays with stamina.

Not watching. How bloody is it? Bloody enough that my 10-year-old daughter won't be able to watch me play? She really enjoyed Dark Souls

If you let your daughter play (or watch) Dark Souls I don't see how blood would make it any different. As long as she understands games aren't reality then she'll be fine!

If the alpha is anything to go by then there will be a lot of blood.

The game seems to be centered around blood, and there is a lot of blood splashing everywhere in the video. Character is basically covered in blood most of the time, and there are puddles of it after every fight.
