4/10.

+ Werewolves
+ Miyazaki
+ Sir Galahad cameo

- Too much blood
- Too much creativity
- Ladened with QTEs
- Too much fun

Wow is there really a cameo from Galahad?

 

[SolidSnakex]

Some people seem to. No, there is no reason to think that considering we've seen more than 6 weapons in the marketing alone.

Yeah, and Yamagiwa mentions in the new Dengeki Playstation that there are "many more" weapons than we've seen so far.

Sorry if it is posted yet.

Wow that is a LONG load time. I kind of expected that because the alpha load times were long too, though. Maybe the load for chalice is extra long because it generates a level? Oh well, loads aren't the end of the world.

Edit: That chalice gameplay LOOKS AMAZING! I'm really impressed with the look of the game and the random generation stuff seems nice too.

I like in Edge, writer, goes early on it feels like we're being trolled because of button remappings. LOL Can't wait.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Can anybody confirm this. Someone on Twitter told me, that this guys saying, that the embargo is not for the review, but for the event. here's the video, it's italian.

Pre-order cancelled.

 

[ANDS]

Do people really think there's only 6 weapons? Is there some reason I should think there's only 6 weapons?

Yes. You read one line from an uncompleted blind walkthrough, and that "replay value" is low. Combine the two and bam: "Six weapons found in 40 hours. . ." becomes "Six weapons in the game."

 

[NoirVisage]

oh well, looks like i'm just buying it to support, There's no way i'll be able to beat this game.

What's bayonetta

A wii u exclusive on the least powerful console that most people on the planet will never play.

 

[KevWriter]

I cannot wait for this. I've got a busy week and a half coming up at work and then I've got 5 days off starting on the 24th. Pure heaven.

No doubt there will be things that I wish Bloodborne did more like or differently than the Souls game but damn, it's going to be an awesome experience with out of this world art direction.

I'm jealous. I just found out I have to go on a business trip for 5 days, leaving on the morning of the 24th! Now that's just cruel.

 

[Goodacre0081]

not sure if this interview was posted on GAF yet.

“There will be a New Game Plus mode.”

He laughs.

“We’re having trouble beating it, though.”

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

Yes. You read one line from an uncompleted blind walkthrough, and that "replay value" is low. Combine the two and bam: "Six weapons found in 40 hours. . ." becomes "Six weapons in the game."

You're a victim of it yourself: it was 6 melee weapons and 6 pistols actually. Unless guns don't count as weapons.

 

[FATALITY]

and than REmake and RE 4 happens lol

What is that red flashing on the screen? People taking shots with cameras with red-eye filters on or something?

 

[SlasherJPC]

So where are we getting that the review embargo drops Monday? Cause I'm hearing otherwise.

 

[ced]

So where are we getting that the review embargo drops Monday? Cause I'm hearing otherwise.

It just one guy who posted a twit, so I doubt it was confirmed.

People is these threads just reposted it over and over.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

could the embargo for the preview event that edge went to

 

[Donos]

What is that red flashing on the screen? People taking shots with cameras with red-eye filters on or something?

probably the support light for the constant autofocus

The loading in the 18 minute video was really fast though.

 

[Veritigo_X]

Some Italian editor mentioned it or something. Nothing concrete for sure. What are you hearing?

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

I highly doubt it drops monday, they've kept alot of the game secret, don't know why they would blow it a week before release.

 

[BennyBlanco]

There's a cursor on my screen right now, NEOGAF FOR STEAM CONFIRMED?!

Spoiler

For all that is holy, "Are we sure this is PS4 exclusive" NEEDS to be the OT

That would be the lamest name for an OT of all time. All discussion of this game on places other than GAF are ruined by childish console war shit.

 

[Primeau31]

The loading in the 18 minute video was really fast though.

Devs stated load times were removed for that video

 

[Rising_Hei]

I think they shouldn't review this game until the press can try out the online features of the game properly

 

[ANDS]

You're a victim of it yourself: it was 6 melee weapons and 6 pistols actually. Unless guns don't count as weapons.

Yes. Obviously. An unfortunate victim.

 

[PapaEmeritus]

I think OT should be named Bloodborne "Ditch The Shield"

But thats just me

 

[Derpyduck]

You're a victim of it yourself: it was 6 melee weapons and 6 pistols actually. Unless guns don't count as weapons.

When is a gun not a weapon?

Spoiler

When it's a shield

 

[SlasherJPC]

It just one guy who posted a twit, so I doubt it was confirmed.

Understood. I'll back away now quietly.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

 

[Chobel]

What did you hear?

Edit: Please don't tell me there's an embargo for talking about review embargos

 

[Auctopus]

As great as the quote is, ripostes aren't in Bloodborne as far as we know.

 

[ced]

Understood. I'll back away now quietly.

You can't get away now, spill it.

 

[DealWithIt]

The loading in the 18 minute video was really fast though.

the loads were cut out of the ign video. Kitao did a brief stream and some loads seemed to be around 10-20 seconds. I'll dig up the video and count.

edit: here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyquZSxZbyM&ab_channel=GiuseppeNelva

15 seconds to load a new area with a cutscene after death. the chalice load was more like 40 seconds.

 

[bombshell]

I think OT should be named Bloodborne "Ditch The Shield"

But thats just me

Or simply the shield description:

Bloodborne |OT| Shields are nice, but not if they engender passivity

 

[tcrunch]

As great as the quote is, ripostes aren't in Bloodborne as far as we know.

Countershot/Riposte was one of the earliest mechanics they covered, it was in the alpha/demo, though it's "high power special attack".
Pardon the banned site image.

yes, he's saying that starting from monday the first articles will be up
no mention of review, it must be for the gone gold event

 

[Captain Pants]

That's a really bad spot to interrupt 'night' with ellipses.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

OT| There are no souls in Yharnam

My vote goes to Miyazaki's brutal riposte

 

[Astral]

I vote for bloody but hole.

 

[spiderman0616]

That happened to me when Destiny came out. I was sent out of town on business at the last minute and couldn't play until the week after.

 

[PapaEmeritus]

Or simply the shield description:

Oh, thats a good one too

 

[PapaEmeritus]

I vote for bloody but hole.

"Amazing Chest Ahead"

 

[ArkkAngel007]

Pardon the banned site image.

I think the official term is "Visceral Attack". Pretty sure that's what they called it in the IGN First walkthrough.

 

[TheExodu5]

I wonder if there is any form of shield on the game. Perhaps a special weapon transformation?

 

[bombshell]

I wonder if there is any form of shield on the game. Perhaps a special weapon transformation?

It's in the OP.

• Description on the first shield they found: Shields are nice, but not if they engender passivity.

 

[ArkkAngel007]

There are shields.

In the OP:

Edit: Dammit bombshell!!!!

 

[JudgmentJay]

Yeah. Edge didn't fine one until 10 hours in though.

 

[TheExodu5]

Ahh, good to hear!

Oh...damn :/ I hope we can get decent load times through patches. This is consistently one of the series' problems.
