Huh where?
I thought they were dying on purpose or at least trying to get up close to show the enemies and the enemies attacks off.

The purpose of the video was to show off the enemies.

Was never a fan of whips in the souls series but dayum that whip sword looks so cool!
I don't want to post the gif because of spoilers for people, but it's definitely whats happening.
EDIT: Well I guess it is still speculation at this point so here it is:
Now this could be one of two things: It could be a boss in the game OR
It's an animation of a player character transforming into a Werewolf. Have a look closely at the end of the gif and you can see what appears to be long ears and fur developing on the character very rapidly.

Oh yeah. That's from a previous trailer. It's from
the boss fight with the Priest with the axe that helps in the alpha.
Ah I see, Priest Gascoigne. BummerI was convinced that was what it was
Honestly it just gives that theory more weight imo. I mean he is a hunter too.

the collector toys thgat can be made from this games designs are amazing balls.
You may be happy to hear that
it's one of the starter weapon picks
That bit at the end when he's playing with the rat's puss-filled wart is grim!
I have been asking this question a lot of time in a lot of thread, cause i'm not able to start a new one on my own.
What happen to the beautiful MoonLight of the alpha?
Let's be honest: We all have watched the 18 Minutes of IGN and we all know that in that video illumination was on sunset tones...and the video also end with the Clerical Beast Boss...fought in the "afternoon" let's say, although in the alpha we have seen the same boss fought in Night Time.
Let's be objective: Every kind of footage , and also trailer, that came out after the First 18 Minutes of IGN has this new kind of sunset illumination.
Every video, Weapons, The Lore, The Mobs one ...they show a new kind of mood and in none of those i find not even a little evidence of a day/night cycle, otherwise we'd see both in the videos, but no.
Maybe that's not a problem for most of you, but I really, REALLY, would like to know if the game is different from the alpha or not.
The Moon and the Dark fit so well with everything that it would be a shame, a pity...

I've read a lot of times that there is no cycle, but many areas have different hues of day/moonlight.
I'm guessing, since it's the beginning of the game, it starts out in twilight, and the more you progress the darker it gets.
Might be cool if 'full moon' lit areas also have effects on certain... monsters... or abilities.
This is true to an extent. There is one, but it's only triggered by progression, rather than being realtime.
If that's all there is to the game, then it seems like it'll be a very short game, especially compared to the previous Souls games. They've shown like 4-5 weapons in total, and 4-5 types of enemies. Essentially, the first.. hour or so of the previous Souls games?
I do think it's a bit weird that the weapon selection and enemy variety seems to be quite limited compared to the previous Souls games in these supposed IGN first looks at "The enemies and weapons of Bloodborne" (Weapons in the IGN videos, not the one in the OP.). By the way it's worded, you'd think it's a significant amount of the different enemies and weapons in the game.
Miyazaki said the game is bigger than Demon's Souls.

I honestly cannot wait for this.
I think it will be gently reprimanded for not changing the style up enough, but I have to admit, I haven't played a Souls since Dark Souls 1 and I am more than ready for it.

They've shown a few more weapons than that.
Saw Cleaver
Hunter's Axe
Threaded Cane
Warped Twinblades
Kirkhammer
Scythe

I think it will be harshy reprimanded for not changing up the style, 'its just another souls game' + 'not next gen gameplay'. I don't expect it to rate anywhere near 90 average on Metacritic, i'll say about 86 85 regardless of the quality of the game just for the nature of the environment its launching in.
To be fair though, i don't think Persona 5 will rate anywhere near close to a 90 either, low 80s, just based on it being a console JRPG in 2015 with an anime style with a traditional turn based game system on PS4. I still remember how Lost Odyssey was endlessly raked over the coals by critics in the western media simply for having a turn based system at the time. So archaic and old.

Whoever was playing at the 1:20 part is the worst player I've ever seen.
Lost Odyssey got raked for a lot of reasons.
Persona 4 was among the highest reviewed games on both of its systems, and both were newer than LO. I don't expect Persona 5 to suddenly tank.
That was the "aesthetic" I was referring to haha.
This quote comes from Yamigawa (producer) in October, but basically there are changes, just not real-time.
We've also seen parts of the game in both dark and day since September/October (such as the Dream Refuge and the wooded area, and different parts of the city have been shown day/night). So basically...in before they go too much DeS and it's a new tendency system where the more you die the darker it gets (set to eternal midnight on Halloween of course).
i am fucking terrified by the design of some of these creatures
the old women-design really strikes me hard
If you look closely you can see Zoey has startled the witch sitting on the ground...and there is something really wrong with its head.
Are you seriously asking if the full retail release of a game is going to be different from the alpha version? I really hope for your sake that this isn't some cleverly disguised "downgrade" argument.
There was never going to be a day-night cycle and even if there are some time of day differences, they will be implemented like others have mentioned above. Various lighting scenes may have been swapped and changed around due to balancing or changes in art direction. You'll be fighting in moonlight in some other area of the game, so if the start was moonlit as well it would become monotonous and dull.
Hope that clears up the problem for you. If not, I don't know what else can be said. Hope you can enjoy the game regardless.
Let's hope your right

Here's today's. No new content if you have watched all the previous ones, more about SCE/FROM philosophy.

Honestly, I'd refer to both the recent Persona games and "Souls" games as critical-darlings. Unless there are ridiculous technical issues (which certainly may happen) or the games are wildly shorter than their predecessors, I don't see them getting torn apart.

I so misread your post. I read strokes you hard, and thought you were a disturbed individual for a minute.
