I remember the E3 reveal. The music used in that trailer was so creepy and eerie, it was great!

Edit: If there is a list of games of the generation, Bloodborne should definitely be on it!

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

Im confused, what was censored? Just the blood splatter in the end?

 

[Life]

So in the uncensored version he doesn't dodge - but in the censored one he dodges.

 

[HaveButOneLife]

I don't think it's censored, I think the final version is better because of the ambiguity.

 

[SleepDoctor]

Everything on this game was so good. Idk why we don't have a damn sequel. I hope Elden Ring is worth skipping a Bloodborne sequel.

 

[Handy Fake]

Nope.

Video won't play. Someone give a summary?

Yeah, had the same feeling. A black screen instead of a blood splatter gives a better feeling of ominousity

It shows blood splattering on the floor at the end of the "uncensored" version instead of just a black screen.

 

[Spukc]

Glad i never got the game.
Damn sony censorship.

Anyone can send a link on twitter what we cancelling today?

 

[SometimeLaterToday]

This game really put the PS4 on the map. Too bad there was such a drought after it.

 

[bhunachicken]

Was anyone else expecting boobs?

 

[Saber]

Very slightly change. Its basicaly 4 seconds of a blood splatter...not sure why it was censored.

Doesn't really seem like censoring so much as they just thought that last bit was probably useless or the intro. You're gonna tell me they had to censor some blood hitting the floor but in the actual version we got, at 1:37 they didn't have to censor a guy getting fucking cleaved down with blood splatter then being stabbed on the ground also with blood splatter?

The real takeaway here is that these days people throw around the word "censor" way too easily to a such a point it no longer has a meaning.

Blood on the floor got censored. Do we as humans not bleed? No excuse.

They might have had to censor it for primetime viewing. I'd presume it was more to do with TV spots than anything else.
For instance - and this is something that irks me beyond belief - reruns of Forged in Fire in the UK shown before 9pm edit out the blade tests on human analogues and dead animals.
Which, let's face it, are the most entertaining bits.

The intro wasn't used for ads and if it was they would have also had to censor a whole load of stuff way worse than that part.

This was the Bloodborne TV ad:

Fair enough chief. In that case I suspect it was a creative decision since there's obviously more and worse going on in other adverts for the game.

I stand by my irritation over Forged in Fire though.
