Been off work the last couple.of weeks so I don't check my email but saw this thread and decided to have lookand I got my invite too!

Sighed up etc so now I play the waiting game.

 

[C.Dark.DN]

My point being this seems like a seperate compartmentalized beta site. Sure they probabaly could, sounds easy on paper. But still doesnt make sense why they would. Unles they would have advertized about doing it this way ahead of time, or mentioned it in the emails. Just seems it would be a bit pointless and more complex to go that route. And personally I haven't seen MS or Sony do anything like that before with achievments/trophys. But I dont know.

edit: Well now I see the line in the US email about "your skill and dedication being recognized". though that would likely just be marketing talk, and not really mean anything. Maybe its sending these out based on other criteria, like signing up on the beta site previously, etc.

I'm pretty sure it's how the Minecraft discount worked. Ps3 trophy data before august 28th.

 

[ScribbleD]

Just got this email this morning.

 

[Backfoggen]

Plat on Demon's Souls and DS2 and didn't get anything. Are people seriously thinking they'd filter by platinum trophies lol.

 

[CrackaF3tt]

Plat demon souls. Played the network test for ds2. Got in. North America by the way. I don't see where to accept it though? It does say downloading it is accepting it but that there is a yes button.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

no plat- but played every version of a souls game available- got email today

 

[CMojicaAce]

Got an email today! (US)

I haven't platinumed any Souls game but I've put countless hours into all 3 of them.

 

[TheMink]

Got one.

Plats on DS and DSII and 60% DeS

 

[Woenix Phright]

Haven't platinumed any of them (2 away on Demon's) and I just got my email.

Too excited now, this week has been a good week.

 

[RoadHazard]

Are people just getting the "you might get in, you might not" email, or are things getting serious?

 

[cackhyena]

Nothing for me. This thread title is a big fat lie.

 

[Gator86]

Just got mine. I think I'm between 60 and 80 percent for all three souls games.

 

[Zombie James]

Got my email. Own both Demon's Souls and Dark Souls but haven't beaten either.

 

[BuBBeR]

Got mine today (US) but only have a link to the agreement text. No link to actualy confirm participation on the alpha.

BUT they ask to pay attention on the e-mail inbox in the next weeks... So looks good so far.

Just plat on Demon's souls. And 1000/1000 on DS1 and 2.

 

[Manu]

I love how this has turned into a stealth Souls Platinum bragging thread.

 

[PseudoViper]

''Just email me your PSN account details and we will help you download the beta!''

ahahaha, this made me laugh

 

[Hollow]

I love how this has turned into a stealth Souls Platinum bragging thread.

I missed my opportunity to brag about my Demon's and Dark 1 plats.

 

[Commanche Raisin Toast]

I love how this has turned into a stealth Souls Platinum bragging thread.

Even though some already said they have the email but never played a souls game.

Don't think it's tired to play history.

 

[majik13]

I'm pretty sure it's how the Minecraft discount worked. Ps3 trophy data before august 28th.

cool, if that is so. news to me.

I have plat on my life, but no email here.

 

[memo_rx]

I was selected as well, I finished DS1 not obsessing with trophies and barely touch DS2.

 

[Hahaq8]

i have all Platinum in souls series on ps3 and no email WHY!!

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Now I regret not finishing that Platinum on Demon's Souls back in the day... Oh well.

Very cool way to handle invitations, though.

 

[BaraSailey]

Ahh, I really want to get an email, but I doubt I will :/ All you guys that have gotten invited are so lucky.

 

[majik13]

Now I regret not finishing that Platinum on Demon's Souls back in the day... Oh well.

Very cool way to handle invitations, though.

except it is not handling them based on trophies/plats.

 

[Respawn]

I can't believe this. I've been invited and I don't have a PS4.

For fucks sake man

Give me the code please. Thanks.

 

[RexNovis]

Received mine this morning!

I AM SO EXCITE OH MY GOD HOLD ME!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Sami+]

So this is tied to account, right? No codes?

Because if that's not the case I'd give a blowjob for a code

 

[Wolfgang Jr]

Dear developer,
You have been selected to play test your own game and as an added bonus you are not allowed to release a huge day-one patch fixing all the bus you have missed.
Sincerely, gamers.

 

[Jomjom]

I hope the US gets this too...

 

[Fee]

Hell yeah I got a invite! I feel obligated to brag about my 2 Souls plats now.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Wait, it's a code to access?

Huh.

If that's the case, if anyone has a code and doesn't want to/can't use it, I'd like to have it. No biggie, though.

 

[Crossing Eden]

Dear developer,
You have been selected to play test your own game and as an added bonus you are not allowed to release a huge day-one patch fixing all the bus you have missed.
Sincerely, gamers.

So what's the benefit of not any having player feedback whatsoever?

 

[Curufinwe]

Plat on Demon's Souls and DS2 and didn't get anything. Are people seriously thinking they'd filter by platinum trophies lol.

I only played DeS and only got about half the trophies. But I got the email today.

 

[Zabuza]

Got one. So now what?

 

[Dead Prince]

I'm sure they are rolling it out more. I probably am getting one early next week.

 

[TimeEffect]

Got one. So now what?

 

[saveweyard]

Oh I got one of these emails. I guess I'll try it.

Spoiler

I'm fucking hyped!

 

[Prat]

Got the email! yeahhh!!

 

[Melchiah]

I get a feeling emails are being sent based on Dark Souls/Demon's Souls trophy progress...

People who got emails: Did you play them on PS3? Did you platinum them?

I got the invite, and I haven't got a single Souls trophy.

 

[Creaking]

Got the email rather unexpectedly. I have beaten Demon's Souls though. Once.

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

Are people just getting the "you might get in, you might not" email, or are things getting serious?

I'm in the US and my email says "you have been selected to join the Bloodborne alpha test" so it sounds like it's a direct invitation and not just an entry into a lottery.

 

[Sande]

I don't want to sound like a broken record, but:

I think it's safe to stop talking about who platted which games because that has nothing to do with it. I think you have to have signed up for a Playstation beta before to get the e-mail.

There are people who platted all of them but didn't get in and people who have never played any of them and got an e-mail. So it's not related. Having been in a previous Playstation beta program is a much, much more likely reason for invites.

 

[JPS Kai]

Beat both DeS and DaS one, didn't get a platinum either (stupid Pure Bladestone..). Barely touched DaS II and still got an invite yesterday morning.

 

[Erevador]

Did the enrollment on both my U.S. and Europe PS accounts. Praying for an invite.

 

[gai_shain]

Damn I played so much Dks and Dks2, why cant I ever get lucky

 

[Brohan]

People are actually getting the invites now or is it the same old email?

 

[3rdamention]

I didn't get an email, but I do think it's pretty cool that many that did get the email appeared to put a lot of time into previous games in the series...

Sure, not every person that platinum'd those games got invited, but it does appear to be based on some people with experience with the past games...

It keeps people who aren't familiar to the series from shiting up message boards with complaints of it being too hard or the mechanics aren't user friendly....


I mean they can't invite everyone, but at least those they did, appear to enjoy the series and put a lot of time into it, and that I think is a neat little reward...


And there are those that didn't play previous titles, but it looks like many did.

 

[aravuus]

edit: Those without an email can try with this link - https://psnbeta.eu.playstation.com/Bloodborne/enroll.php

I sure hope this'll work, I'm incredibly excited for the game

If not, I guess I'll just keep playing DS2 in the mean time

 

[Jimmyfenix]

NA people are apparently getting the same email now.

 

[Moobabe]

Got mine this morning!
