Yup. Think his time is almost up so he's panicking.

 

[Amir0x]

Could be wrong

Sorry about that. Now back to DS.

 

[dmr87]

Got the first email, now nothing. What a tease.

 

[Raxious]

Wait, so we're allowed to stream?!

 

[Yoshichan]

I'm finally home... No mail, of course. I really don't earn it. I mean, I only love 2/3 Souls games. Clearly one has to bow before all three in order to get beta access for Bloodborne...

So... Any vods/streams online out there? Would love a link (on phone atm).

Got in on my EU account (played all three souls games). Nothing for my US one (just DaS2).

The streaming function of the PS4 is disabled when Bloodborne is running.

 

[Audioboxer]

Almost time

Played it at Eurogamer, was amazing.

 

[Freak]

Shhhh, nearly time to sneak out of work early for the 6pm start
I feel giddy like a kid at Christmas

 

[kamorra]

Shouldn't it start at 18.00pm? Because it's 18.00pm where I live. ;(

 

[Finalow]

Almost time

[Nibel]

I think it starts in 1 hour?

 

[kamorra]

I think it starts in 1 hour?

Oh, so it's UK time.

 

[DrROBschiz]

Its funny

Its appears that the Alpha is pretty much taking place in the same demo areas we have seen before

Is there really a NDA attached to this?

 

[aember]

Here's a tip for the future tests: check the BST time in the OP, go to google and search "what time is it BST", all questions should be answered!

 

[kamorra]

Or ask in the appropriate thread on a discussion forum.

 

[CyberPunked]

All I want to know is:
1-Have they fixed the FPS issue
2-Have they fixed the large amounts of aliasing.

 

[Nerdkiller]

Here we go! Starting the game up.

 

[Storm360]

Servers are up!

 

[Mafro]

Is anyone's hammer thing not appearing when they select it?

 

[Lifejumper]

We need a impressions thread.

 

[Mafro]

The little skeletons holding up the messages on the ground are adorable.

 

[Pennywise]

Ugh, it's really something else without the shields.
You have to be alot more careful in order to avoid getting hit.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

We need a impressions thread.

I suppose it's worth consulting a mod, but wouldn't it be better to have a new thread specifically for Alpha impressions? Since the online is now enabled and all.

I love they way they grieve whenever there's a spectre stone as well.

This is ALPHA man

Ask that when the release build hits

 

[Nibel]

I broke it :lol

Have to restart..

 

[Qvoth]

anybody managed to beat cleric beast yet?

 

[Man]

First impression: Best looking PS4 game. It's the second game besides TLoU to wind the PS4 fan all the way up. You can zoom into anything and the texture and shader details don't let up. Small subtle animations and particle effects everywhere. Framerate is practically locked, no tearing. Edit: Framerate not locked when I entered larger areas with patrols but it's between 25-30fps somewhere.

Second impression: It plays better than it looks. It feels like it's more precise (hitboxes corresponding 1:1 to models) with a higher fidelity than Dark Souls & Demon's Souls.

This is a networking test like the dark souls 2 one, so don't expect actual answers.
