If there was a lot of decoration and/or things in the way people would complain about dealing with the terrain on top of having to actually pay attention to combat. It's not a bad thing to keep the arena relatively simple since the Souls games have rarely been about using the terrain to your advantage.

Well you have the run-up to look at some fine environments. Most boss arenas in souls are closed of rooms. Also the
altar looks pretty fancy and should hold some kind of meaning since the boss is shown in human-form in the trailers

OMG that Boss sound is very terrifying. I love it!

Is anyone else going with the cane / whip as their first weapon? Seems like I'm in the vast minority of pimps out there that are leaning towards that.
The cane / whip / blunderbuss combo is going to be great.

Fucking mobile. I saw what I think is the side of the boss because youtube links show up as videos in the thread. Thankfully I didnt click or see the name. This wait is something else.
About this fight:
Shouldn't he hit the boss with a critical hit when it falls? Pressing R1 would show an animation and boss would take a lot of damage like when you riposte, right?

Yeah I guess you are right, thinking about it in hindsight - even fights like Ornstein and Smough are in a relatively simple environment and that fight is the best in the series.
I think part of it is not knowing the context of it/the lead up to and how it fits in the world. The lead up to the Ornstein and Smough in Anor Lando is incredibly beautiful.

Best thing about that video was being able to finally see the glorious

Are you going to upload BloodBorne vids to Youtube? I've been subbed to your channel since the inFamous 2 beta days lol.

I have actually just decided to use that weapon. That combination sounds interesting and I want to use a proper whip in these types of games.Is anyone else going with the cane / whip as their first weapon? Seems like I'm in the vast minority of pimps out there that are leaning towards that.

God. The scream, it's equal parts terrifying, disgusting and sad. I seriously got shivers here. What a hell.
But isn't the 3rd boss theme the one that they showed in that IGN First video? It was called Cleric Beast there.
It does sound different though.

Sif levels of well-crafted boss animations here. They ai and the way the boss attacks is very desperate/sad and would make me feel bad about killing it. 
It definitely tells a story. The scream is haunting.

Oh gosh - that scythe! And thanks for watching! But I'm not qualified to be making Bloodborne videos haha I was abysmal at DeS and DSI.
YES! Pimp Bros!
The first link is the Cleric Beast theme. It's even titled as such in the video. The second one is probably an older variation of it that may not have made the final cut.

Something I just figured out. Just a theory. Might be a spoiler:
We seen a woman transforming into a beast around the 1:25 mark during the Bloodborn trailer
I see the same floor textures as the boss area.

The blood makes us human, it makes us more than human, makes us human no more, eh?

That shit looks hard as balls. I hate bosses that heal themselves. That one will be a tough fight it seems!

They are obviously one in the same. It goes in line with the overall with the overall lore of the game.

I noticed the same thing and, to me, the boss sounds somewhat womanlike in it's screams. Which leads me to believe it is the same lady in the trailer. Man I can't wait to dive into this.

I just don't know my origin yet. Either professional or troubled childhood, not sure which to choose.
It´s just like curse of the undead but more badass.
Maybe one of the endings involves that the main character becomes the lord of the beasts.

I swear, the boss fights are just so exciting to watch. The sheer aggression of the enemies combined with the music and sound fx... man...
"Visceral" is a pretty badly abused description in gaming these days, but these fights -for once- really live up to the meaning of the word.

Any suggestions for soundtracks similar to souls music? Want to build a playlist to get me through work....
woah ,WOAH,woah wait a second
what the hell is with that music box? It is causing the boss to puke blood? Is that a gadget?

The boss'
On a second note, I remember reading or hearing somewhere that Miyazaki always insist the bosses needs to have a certain dignity about them, amidst all the corruption and evil. Kalameet for example is an undead dragon, but that doesn't mean he needs to look like a rotting zombie, he's an ancient creature after all, he should still retain some of his former glory and pride.
To me, this thinking was missing from most of the bosses in Dark Souls 2. Royal Rat Authority is a Sif clone yes, but instead of being a wolf protecting his masters grave, Authority is just a large rotten hyper-aggressive rat. The Dragonriders are just knights in fat armour. The Covetous Demon is just Jabba the Hut. The Rotten a pile of mud. The Prowling Magus and The Royal Rat Vanguard just a bunch of regular enemies en masse.
It's hard to say if it's that Miyazaki is back in the directors-chair or what, but from what I've seen so far this air of, I don't know, nostalgia, of former glory and dignity seems to have returned in full force in Bloodborne.
screams are such a horrible mix of a woman in pain and beast. Jesus.

Miyazaki's Back Baby.
I seriously was switching between two states of mind as he was hitting it, first: "This thing needs to die, kill it fast", and then "What the hell are you doing stop hitting it, it's in pain!"
Brilliant stuff.
