Goodbye Soul Memory and good fucking riddance!
Why wouldn't they allow early 10s and maaaybe a few 9s?
Looks like that Japanese event that all the pictures are from is their "Going Gold" event.
Also,
*drools*
FYI this is what we got for going to the event. Debating putting on the PS4 skin, it's really nice though.

They are showing the TV Spot like every commercial break on MLB Network.

The rumor is that the embargo for reviews lifts Monday.

¿Does anyone has?
New Game Plus, the mode we’ve come to expect from certain games – including Souls games – will be included with Bloodborne. New game Plus lets players start the game all over, keeping all their weapons and allocated points. They will however be faced with a much greater challenge as enemies will be much tougher.
“Yes, there will be a New Game Plus mode,” game director Hidetaka Miyazaki told MCV in an interview. “We’re having trouble beating it, though.”
Miyazaki did not reveal whether the mode will start as soon the initial play-through is finished, or be activated manually by the player. Though it’s probably safe to assume the latter, given the extra content like Chalice Dungeon and how it can be played even after the main game is finished.

I hope NG+ has some new things. I really liked that on Dark Souls 2, but it could've been more. Enemies having more health/defense and making more damage is meh.

is the game really that dark? *looks at pics
cant see shit.
cant see shit.
Yeah that was a nice touch. I hope they change things up a little in NG+, similar to Dks 2's approach.

This game looks too good to be true. You can have all my money, FROM. All of it.

I hope we get an unboxing of the limited edition, I need to see if the art book is worth keeping that pre order.

SimplyGames through Rakuten a few days ago with the Code MARGIFT5, I'm afraid they have put the price up now but can still be gotten for £39 from them

MGS4?
I got a bit fatigued at the end of DS2, and upon starting the NG+ mode and getting harassed by all kinds of new stuff I stopped bothering, frankly.
So far I've never really started NG+, but so far I've never played online either. When the community goes to NG+ it might be more fun to follow and join the hunt. But 50+ hours in a game makes me happy enough.
Quoting the post and keeping the link doesn't help.
Prepare to die, but don't give up.

Something is always very amusing to me about people taking pictures of other people taking pictures.

Yes, Miyazaki confirms. There will be a New Game Plus mode. He laughs. Were having trouble beating it, though."

You really can't judge image quality from screenshots printed in a magazine. They are usually not direct screen grabs from the frame buffer. (Did I use those words right?)

I tried once, but I guess I was just too stubborn and went the other way, thinking it was what I was supposed to do. The bastard gave me a good chase when I tried to leg it back to where I gave from. I found a video on YouTube, which showed how to beat him more easily by using Royalty's ranged attack from behind one of the armaments, but I never tried it myself.
So, given that the initial playthrough often lasts 2-3 times longer than later speedruns, in your case 6 hours, there appears to be quite a bit of length added due to the repetition.
They're holding some type of Bloodborne event in Japan right now
Nice. Just what people wanted, weapons.
The God of Atmosphere.
Here's a 1080p version with other atmospheric images I've found.
I saw that, I just didn't recall any mention of new weapons or armor that might only drop in NG+ mode. All the talk of only 6 weapons and 6 guns and was just curious if there may be more in NG+.
6 guns and weapons that they were able to find themselves up to that point. there's probably a good amount undiscovered at the point they were at.

Was there any talk about the amount of armor/armor-types which you can find?

You know I'd be pleased as a peach if armor wasn't even a thing in Bloodborne and the only thing leading us to choose one outfit or another is aesthetics.
not sure how much I can give away without having ppl go out and read the article for themselves:
appears to be more along the side of light armors, all have very different properties.
we've already seen 8 weapons shown so far in preview materials, so I'm sure even though there's less overall total than say Dark Souls I, its going to be quality over quantity.

They didn't give a specific number, but it sounds like there are fewer of those as well. They said you can find them
in chests, and the merchant sells a new set whenever you beat a boss.
Now that you mention it, I agree with this. I have to assume different equipment will emphasize different stats, though.

It is for me, but I'd like to see it become more viable so we don't run into hundreds of guys wearing the Havel's equivalent.
