good thing bloodborne guy carries around a giant straight razor

 

[Primeau31]

This just. This has to be the best art direction team in the industry. We're witnessing a producer and his team in their prime right now.

This is it. This is Miyazaki's crown jewel. This is going to be one of those once in a decade kind of games.

I'm ready.

It truly does scream Zelda for an adult audience which sits perfectly with me

 

[TimmiT]

Sonic's finally in a good game again

 

[Primethius]

Holy shit, that looks amazing. God damn, this game can't come soon enough.

 

[Spineker]

Sonic's finally in a good game again

And he's an undead skeleton. What does that tell you.

 

[halfbeast]

ah, we meet again, door monster!

 

[jet1911]

Did the boss clip through the huge ass pillar to kill the player at the end?

 

[ironcreed]

The lightning and flowing darkness around him looks absolutely supernatural. Just beautiful design.

 

[silva1991]

and this is how the ancient guard dog looks like

awesome optional bosses.

 

[WGMBY]

I just noticed that his hair stands up when he's charged. That's awesome.

Yeah I noticed that. I guess with a boss of that scale, there isn't much they can do

 

[Primeau31]

does anyone notice something shining on the floor in the gif posted earlier in the thread? With a red-ish hue, so it's unlike the light generated from item pickups.

 

[ironcreed]

Some serious range on that sweep attack. This is going to be a sneaky bastard.

 

[Tsokolit]

I didnt want to watch it...Daaayem need this now.

 

[jet1911]

Yeah I noticed that. I guess with a boss of that scale, there isn't much they can do

The game challenging enough like that, if the bosses can "cheat" by clipping through the levels like that I'll never beat this game lol

 

[AngryMoth]

Not watching the video but can't resisit coming into the thread and seeing the gifs.

Goddam, I am so hyped for this. PS4 ordered today, I am ready

 

[Spineker]

Can someone gif the moment where the character hits the beast in the face with a horizontal swing that actually knocks its head sideways a bit? That is fantastic weight and feedback to the weapons.

There's clipping in every game, you'll be fine.

In less than one month, my PS4 finally graduates to becoming more than a Diablo 3 box.

Not going to see the video but damn, that beast looks sexy as fuck.

 

[Weeaboosuke]

The last souls boss to intimidate me like this thing was the Gaping Dragon. Holy shit.

 

[Systemwarrior]

What's that eye symbol in the hud under the Blood Echoes?

 

[DoubleTake]

Im so ready. This boss fight looks amazing and the fact From chose to show it tells me theres even better stuff waiting for us. The electricity effects are absolutely amazing. This is most definitely from their latest build.

And so the nightly wait begins.

 

[Shengar]

Faster enemy and player movement can make the automatic camera frantic. I guess manual camera control will be crucial, canceling auto lock on and all of that.

 

[Draft]

Omg I can't even. A skeleton.

 

[sheepishlord]

This is why i got a ps4, this will make it worth it. I'm expecting nothing less than the best game i've ever played and my favourite game of all time. Everything so far suggests i'll get it too.

25 days.

 

[Respawn]

This is exactly the kind of imaginative design that was missing in Dark Souls 2.

Look at that goddamn magnificent beast.

Some how this post has gotten me hyed as fuck. Sharpen your blades and load your rounds mofos we're going in deep.

 

[CyberPunked]

The sounds that thing makes

 

[DoubleTake]

death

Also your huge gifs are killing my browser :/

 

[Ushiwaka]

Designed by Skrillex?!

Yeah, I noticed that in the Cleric Beast videos too. The camera looks a bit wonky against these huge bosses. Might be one of those situations where lock on does more harm than good.

The design looks amazing though. I'm yet to see an enemy that doesn't look really cool. Not long to go now.

 

[D-VoN]

Well so much for trying to avoid Bloodborne spoilers. IGN thought it was a good idea to have the boss as a thumbnail.

 

[Spineker]

Yep perfect. That is so awesome. He literally bitch slapped it with the axe.

Day zero.

 

[IKizzLE]

Art direction is immense. Fucking tier above any current gen game I've seen.

 

[LifeLike]

Do we have an estimated time for the game single player lenght?
How long they've been working on this game?

[Psycho_Mantis]

This game.......THIS GAME

 

[John Bender]

No way in hell am I going to watch the video.
But the Beast looks awesome!

 

[K.Sabot]

Seems like all those guy's armor didn't do them much good ; )

 

[ironcreed]

That is so good. Just so, so good.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Looks kind of underhwhelming and lame

Longer than Demon's Souls, around the same length as Dark Souls IIRC, so I est. around 50-60 hrs depending on how you play through the game. Also the Chalice Dungeon adds a random-generated dungeon element for optional play as well.

They started work on this after the Artorias of the Abyss DLC/Prepare To Die PC Edition released for Dark Souls 1

1) The "total game volume" is greater than Demon's Souls. Souls games do not split single and multiplayer modes, though in BB there is also the Chalice Dungeon area which is optional and has its own special multiplayer elements (like sharing dungeon configurations with friends).

2) They've been working on it since they finished AOTA DLC for Dark Souls 1.
