Really love the atmosphere from those pictures. Really looking forward to this one.

 

[IKizzLE]

Life or death struggle makes it seem like it will be less like a devil may cry/demon souls hybrid and more like ninja gaiden black/souls hybrid.

Cannot. Wait.

 

[J-Skee]

Already preordering this & Witcher 3 & I don't even have a PS4 yet.

 

[Anastasia]

Inject it into me, please.

 

[maquiladora]

Ummmm....?

Your comment seemed to imply there was no mention of it being a Souls type game in the article. Are you saying it's surprising that he didn't mention both Demon's Souls and Dark Soul's in the article? Why? It's a spiritual successor to Demon's Souls...

 

[Fushichou187]

That last pic with those enemies surrounding the bonfire is my favorite. I really dig that wooden shield that looks like it was thrown together from the wall of a collapsed building.

 

[EmeraldSwords]

PUMPED

 

[Spongebob]

Looks amazing. Spring 2015 can't come soon enough.

I said

Damn

 

[Loomer]

Yes

Spoiler

and really? this sells you a ps4?

Demon's Souls was my favorite game of the past generation, so yes, this absolutely does. Unless it's somehow more Dark Souls yet again.

 

[DieH@rd]

Visuals look much more detailed than in leaked screens/vids.

That's NOT what I said. What I said was actually pretty simple. Stop reading into it so damn much.

You make it sound like it's something difficult to predict...

 

[Tetranet]

Very impressive. It seems like they are going all out with the setting, no compromises.

 

[bananafactory]

No gameplay footage yet because they are busy downgrading before the reveal this time.

Spoiler

Kidding, I'm sure the game will look fantastic.

 

[LiK]

Glad they posted this. People still port beg after the fact.

 

[The Rain King]

This is gonna be the best game ever, isn't it?

 

[Majmun]

The setting, the atmosphere, the artdesign...

I'm done.

 

[Slowdive]

Wow those screenshots.

 

[VertPin]

But will it be a lifetime exclusive?

Spoiler

/s

Can we stop this? We know it's a PS4 exclusive. Its being collaborated with SCEJ x FromSoftware.

Oh, you mean like

Demons Souls

was.

I concur.

The leaked vids must have been from an old build.

 

[KZObsessed]

I'd like a nice special edition to go with demons souls, dark souls and dark souls 2 plz

 

[Orayn]

The "more active but still deadly" combat makes it sound like security blanket shields are gone... Guess we're gonna have to GIT GUD or die trying. I'll probably be doing a lot of the latter.

 

[Loxley]

Souls-franchise difficulty level or bust.

Considering Miyazaki is steering the ship for Bloodborne, I have serious doubts you need to worry about the difficulty.

 

[dreamfall]

Absolutely stunning!

 

[Yoshichan]

Oh, you mean like

Spoiler

Demons Souls

was.

I concur.

That's EXACTLY what I meant!

 

[Bloodrage]

Atmosphere...setting...character design...brutal difficulty...

 

[Kaako]

Ooweee, those screens look inviting. I wanna playyy.

 

[OsirisBlack]

Wow those screenshots.

Completely agree almost fell out of my damn chair.

 

[captscience]

keeping the deep strategic elements from Demon’s Souls, while also transitioning from the passive and block-and-attack style of Demon’s Souls to a quicker, more offensive and active combat style with close-range weapons and guns.

Awesome. I always tried to play light and quick in the souls games but usually chickened out and ended up behind a shield and armor. I'm glad this game will force me out of my habits.

And those screens! Wow.

 

[bananafactory]

The leaked vids must have been from an old build.

Probably from a TGS build last year, I remember lots of rumours that (at the time Demons Souls 2) would be revealed there.

 

[MoogleWizard]

Looks like RE4 meets Demon's Souls, it can only be amazing.

 

[Humpernator]

In my opinion, this is the first true "system seller" other than Super Smash Bros for me. I honestly don't care for any of the Xbox One exclusives other than Sunset Overdrive but this is coming from a guy who has never cared much for Halo.

 

[Windom Earle]

The city concept sounds bad-ass. Loving the art.

 

[BabyFaceKillah]

if it still plays like clunky garbage then i aint fuckin wit it.....

Spoiler

maybe

 

[Bor]

for me, this game is the definition of system seller. I hope the release date stays early 2015!

 

[Yoshichan]

i am ROCK fucking HARD right now

 

[Sotha_Sil]

I'm not really a fan of the art direction for this game, but I'm very pleased to see FromSoft taking the formula in a different direction, even if it's one that won't be quite as enjoyable for me. I'm still getting the game, obviously.

 

[Just_myles]

My preferred play-style in the Souls games was and is aggressive, no-shield play, so this is pretty much music to my ears.

Agreed, I regularly two-hand or do power stance when I pvp. This will be glorious.

Glad they're making demons souls references. From can be trusted with new ideas/IPs.

 

[UrbanRats]

I think they created the perfect game.

Those werewolves shots... damn.

 

[SephiZack]

Can't keep my hype low. I want this NOW

Throwing your new wool game under the bus I see, classy stuff.

 

[FACE]

In Bloodborne, the combat is based on intense life-threatening battles. One of the ways we are bringing that sense of danger to life is by keeping the deep strategic elements from Demon’s Souls, while also transitioning from the passive and block-and-attack style of Demon’s Souls to a quicker, more offensive and active combat style with close-range weapons and guns.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Damn that creature and overall art is fantastic.

 

[Marmaladefire]

how about showing us gameplay instead of hiding it behind closed doors



If you're dying that often in any of the Souls games you are doing something wrong

Not a Souls fan, I see.

A bit of exaggeration on my part, as I'm not (that much) of a failure. I do like the Souls games, but I can't really sustain being pissed off and not feeling like I'm doing anything substantial for that long without walking away. I ultimately decided I liked watching other people play those more but I really loved this trailer/concept and hope Bloodborne is at least a little more "pick up and play"

 

[Pungza]

Hyped!!

Three Bloodborne threads at the moment aswell, cant keep up

 

[Despera]

The "more active but still deadly" combat makes it sound like security blanket shields are gone... Guess we're gonna have to GIT GUD or die trying. I'll probably be doing a lot of the latter.

Shields? Aint nobody got time for that

keep rollin' rollin' rollin'

 

[anexanhume]

Do people think this will help move PS4s in Japan?
