Oh man, I though I couldn't be more hype, but the maiden being in Bloodborne is just wonderful news. I hope she still says, "So the world might be mended".

YAY

Huh? Where is she in the trailer?

Edit: Oh, I think someone mentioned it was the same voice actor.

 

[ObbyDent]

Graphically, that looks insane. Love it.

Gameplay-wise, I keep thinking: "Please don't be a stupidly difficult game."

I want to have fun playing this game.

The Souls games aren't stupidly difficult. You're just bad.

 

[JudgmentJay]

Huh? Where is she in the trailer?

It's just her voice at the end. FROM reuses voice actors alot. I think it's a bit premature to think that she'll be in the game.

 

[wickfut]

Huh? Where is she in the trailer?

same voice actor used for the end "and so the nightly hunt begins..."

 

[Orayn]

New health system sounds like the stuff #yolostrats are made of! More forgiving than previous Souls games in the sense that it has the potential to cancel out the long-term effects of getting hit, but also more demanding in that it forces you to respond quickly to get that advantage.

 

[PolishQ]

Also, confirmation that the game won't just take place in Yharnam.

At E3 we introduced players the city of Yharnam, where Bloodborne starts out. Yharnam is an ancient city known for medical practices. However the story of Bloodborne will take you beyond the walls of Yharnam into new locations where greater dangers await.

 

[Oyashiro]

Really hope they don't butcher the lighting and graphics engine again. Remember Dark Souls 2, guys?

 

[D Bo Chops]

I just went from six to midnight. Looks rad. Time to pony up some dough for a PS4.

 

[TimeEffect]

Love the music. So instantly memorable

Miyazaki was not there.

This is Sony X From i expect everything to be up to par.

 

[Creamium]

Also, confirmation that the game won't just take place in Yharnam.

Heh, I thought Yharnam was this game's Lordran. Apparently not.

 

[Zambatoh]

So let me get caught up here: This is another spiritual successor by the same developers to Demon's Souls, much like Dark Souls?

I've had Demon's Souls on my shelf for a while, unplayed. I need to catch up with this series, if one can call it that.

Better go back and play King's Field then, a.k.a. the spiritual predecessor to Demon's.

 

[aravuus]

Needs more shields imo.

I can understand some people thinking this, but I honestly couldn't be more excited about there being no shields. It means the whole game is balanced around dodging, not blocking, and I never use shields in the Souls games

 

[Lotto]

Never played any of the Souls games but this looks fantastic. The vibe/atmosphere in that trailer is very reminiscent of Diablo for me.

 

[Orayn]

That was a result of them having eyes bigger than their stomachs for a late-gen multiplat that needed to run on 8+ year old hardware. They demoed it on PC and had it looking/running great in a those few areas, but everywhere else was supposedly unplayable so they had to make some unfortunately cutbacks that affected the whole game.

This is only on PS4, so that's probably less of a concern.

Most interesting part:



Also, in case anyone is still worried about this being more of a Devil May Cry-type game:

So the regain system is basically a "oh no you di'int" kind of deal. Sounds great, especially since it encourages developing quick reflexes.

 

[Uncle Rupee]

Just beautiful!

I expected to see these two at the beginning of 1-3 from those shaking carriages.

How do we still have so many Non-souls players on NeoGAF

You guys aren't doing your job apparently

 

[Gully State]

I'm really digging the art style. +Hype

 

[ryuken-d]

Not digging the seeming lack of shields.

dodge roll!! maybe block with scythe, dont care. holy shit so excited!!!!

 

[IAmRandom31]

Really hope they don't butcher the lighting and graphics engine again. Remember Dark Souls 2, guys?

Remember last gen?

This isn't on a 10 year old piece of hardware.

What you see is what you get.

 

[Zaventem]

Best screen right here.

 

[TimeEffect]

So apparently this was on the preshow?

Wth..

 

[ObbyDent]

Yeah guys, there are no shields in this game. Check out the official website for Bloodborne. They said this like a month ago.

 

[Stone Ocean]

A-Team baby

Spoiler

Also Japan Studio helping means there's no chance that's happening.

I've never had the urge to play it but I've watched other people play it. I don't know, from what I've seen I don't think I'd enjoy it much but I'm definitely keeping my eye on Bloodborne.

 

[Orochinagis]

Heh, I thought Yharnam was this game's Lordran. Apparently not.

Lord souls to be found in NG+ guys, it had to be lordran guys, it had to be!

 

[CyberPunked]

Bullshots rendered at 4k

I dunno, man. There's wayy to much aliasing for these to be native 4K, even if they're 4K with no AA. These are definitely 1080p.

THAT IS AMAZING! I hope it works well sounds extremely nerve wracking hnnggggggg

 

[teiresias]

The opening "vista" shots in the trailer had pretty crappy IQ and framerate, but the actual gameplay sections looked ok, so not sure what's going on there. Obviously it's not optimized yet, so not really worried about it yet.

Otherwise the art style and design are amazing.

 

[Future PhaZe]

so amazing

 

[PolishQ]

Was that Darkdiver Grandahl at the end of the trailer? Same wheelchair, in any case.

 

[Vlade]

I've never had the urge to play it but I've watched other people play it. I don't know, from what I've seen I don't think I'd enjoy it much but I'm definitely keeping my eye on Bloodborne.

Welcome to the party either way, but I don't think you can walk in here without a firm recommendation that you give souls a very generous shot.

 

[Pejo]

And I think I'm officially on blackout about this game after that trailer. I completely trust everyone behind this game, the design, the combat, everything looks so amazing. Will be there day 1 with whatever lame preorder BS they dish out.

 

[Zambatoh]

That Regain system sounds really cool. It's like they are encouraging you to fight like an immortal or wild animal pretty much.

 

[ukpanik]

It's just her voice at the end. FROM reuses voice actors alot. I think it's a bit premature to think that she'll be in the game.

I suspect the wheelchair guy will have a similar role to her.
He was in the cgi trailer and the end of this one.

 

[REV 09]

Agreed, never got into Souls, but this looks great. Love the art style.

 

[BRocknRolla]

I just got finished playing Dark Souls on PC with all the DSfix stuff and frequently thought, "Damn, this game still looks really nice." This trailer sort of turns that whole perspective on its head. This game looks fantastic and I can't wait to see the visuals this gen will bring.

 

[coolmast3r]

"Dear friend, TAKE HEED *octopus headed guards*"...

=')

 

[gogosox82]

Damn that looked amazing. And Maiden in Black's Voice?

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

I think this is new

SHPAYSS MUHREENS!

 

[AlphaK]

This looks like everything i wanted out of a Demon's/Dark Souls sequel.


Absolute day 1 purchase for me.

 

[loaf of bread]

So this will be out February at the latest since they said it would be in the next 6 months.

 

[ODDI]

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!

This is sounding less and less like both Demon's and Dark Souls. Not really happy about that. So much for Demon's Souls 2 =(.

 

[Citizen_Insane]

I'm stunned at just how good this looks in motion. From Software has never made the best looking games, but the atmosphere they create within them is unrivaled and more than makes up for it. This is fucking beautiful, in the most twisted way possible. Sony must be lending a big hand when it comes to helping design the graphics, and it's paying off. The leaked gameplay trailer of Project Beast made me think it would be closer to Dark Souls 2 graphically, but god damn. This is on another level entirely.

So basically, STRAIGHT INTO MY FUCKING SOUL.

 

[Banana Aeon]

This game is is calling me. I need to heed her pleas.

Hurry to me!

 

[Croyles]

So this will be out February at the latest since they said it would be in the next 6 months.

Still unsure as to whether that was only directed at the games during reel the showed after Bloodbourne.

 

[ryuken-d]

It is ok to dislike something, I like the style but I can clearly understand why someone would not like a really grim and dark environment.

when it works it works, and this just works. get it?

am curious about day/night time though. or a torch or magic something. buuuuut I love it!!

 

[ObbyDent]

This is sounding less and less like both Demon's and Dark Souls. Not really happy about that. So much for Demon's Souls 2 =(.

Well, it's no a Souls game. There aren't even shields in this game. It was never going to be Demon's Souls 2.
