BLOODBORNE Impressions Thread : And so the Nightly Hunt Begins

Sorry if I've misunderstood, but what makes you think these games are running on Unreal?
Not to dispute this statement, but it's probably less thanks to Sony than you're giving them credit for - especially in the case of Bloodborne. You'd think they'd lend some special graphical insight seeing as it's a first-party exclusive on their own hardware, but you'd be surprised at how much is left to the dev.
I think he's talking about Uncharted 4. You know, if Bloodborne looks this good, it's possible U4 will actually end up looking as good as the teaser we've seen.
It was a byproduct of being extremely early footage. It looks a generation ahead now.

I showed this image to my girlfriend and her reaction was "Wow".
Look at this pic! How amazing is that?

This is just oozing Miyazaki. It is just seeping with that "deep sorrow of a magnificent beast doomed to a slow and possibly endless descent into ruin." The very definition of hauntingly beautiful. Miyazaki you magnificent bastard!

Isn't that just a molotov?
No it's a Molotov cocktail that you can pick up at the very start of the demo.

It's a pyromancy alright. I'm think magical elements from past games will be in but with a more industrial flavor instead of a magical one. Example, those fireballs are made from a glove that ignites vials full of combustibles.
Yep, that's what I figured.

You can see he only has a couple because the 'I've run out!' animation happens after the second molotov when he tries to throw another.
It looks a lot like a good old fire orb though, animation is very similar if not same as throwing stuff in DS.

I think the leaked trailer showed pyromancy iirc.

wow
1) the guy was able to pick up blood vials from an enemy.....could be like grass from DeS
2) environments are crazy detailed
3) The amount of enemies they throw at you is far greater than in previous games. That bit at the end had like 15 enemies around the fire.

I really love the way the coat moves when he's climbing up the ladder.
Does the director really handle all the art in the game? FROM SOFTWARE typically outsources a large majority of the art design and has a small team of art people on staff.
I wonder what engine this is though. If I remember correctly the phyre engine was falsely attributed to being used in Demon's/Dark and Dark Souls 2 uses a completely new engine that they were planning to re-use for next gen.

looks great
It fits the game so good that it should be on OST
The guy playing was frustratingly bad, but at least you could clearly see how the regain system currently works. At one point he took a heavy hit from one enemy, then did a sweeping hit into the entire group that recovered the majority of his health. It's going to make the more "aggressive strategising" very interesting.

Uncharted 4 will not get GOTY 2015 because of Bloodborne
This is a Gamescom demo, probably removed for that.

LOL! NOTHING will stand a chance against Bloodborne!
I just like how the music drops when he threw that spell/item.

Wooden objects are. People expecting they can break all the stuff like in DeS and DkS but there seems to be a lot of metal stuff there.
More like Miyazaki micro-manage the art in his game. Most of the time, he will asked the artists in the assigned areas to give him illustrated concepts of what he want in that area. He will explained beforehand to the artist of his own conception. This is the impression from the interview in Dark Souls artbook featuring Miyazaki and three people responsible in the art department.
The entire thing takes place around this one city, and Latria is the inspiration for this shit. Relentlessly Dark and menacingly dark are the only two light options

Nah, the city is only a part of the game.
This is all I ever see ->
What they're including in the "city" is liberal, there's some outter places you go, but from all the interviews I've seen so far, it does seem that's where the bulk of the game is. The city is supposedly massive.
I'd love to hear I was wrong though!

I suspect the undergrounds of the city and maybe a suburban area?. Wasn't there an open area before entering some gates from the leaked trailer or not?
But yeah i agree that the majority of the game will be spent on the City which i'm totally fine.

Dark Souls 1 and 2 also had the same thing in the demo kiosks. It's just a quick way to show player different gameplay options for game shows. Calm your socks.
It is just a demo, in the final game we´ll be able to create our own characters.
My hart was pounding, i know it is a demo but still.
On one side i want it to be different, but on the other hand i want it to stay as DS is.
Oh my god, that environment progression is sending me huge boletaria vibes, except at a whole other level.
Wow.
