I know this gets asked a thousand times with every new release, but I never actually paid attention. Will this game be playable at midnight on PSN? If so, what timezone?

 

[AdanVC]

Why almost a release day review embargo? Something to hide? Bah, I have seen lot's of footage of the game through the weekend and to me, the game has written at least 87+ on MC all over it. It gud.

Midnight EST, 9pm PST.

^ i don't honestly see how it could be something to hide when there are tons of streams and beta footage shown.

Awesome, thanks.

Definitely, need skill and practice to beat tough enemies in all the souls games! I just like huge, hard hitting weapons. Always went for strength builds in my first playthroughs of Souls games, think I'll do something similar here. Admittedly, I've blacked myself out from media/impressions enough to have no idea how builds and stats work in this game, and don't want to hear about it until I experience it for myself.

Pretty darn excited.

All I've seen is the first area, which is essentially a tutorial area. I reckon that's where the idea it's easier than Souls comes from because later (or so it seems from what I've read) it gets much tougher. I'm genuinely worried I won't be able to handle this game.

 

[Derpyduck]

Skill is the new Dexterity.

My problem is I always confuse Dexterity with the green bar, which I believe represents endurance.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Spoiler

gribble is 57?!

Could you spoiler that please.

 

[super-famicom]

My problem is I always confuse Dexterity with the green bar, which I believe represents endurance.

The green bar is your Stamina. The more points you put into Endurance, the more Stamina you have. Strength and Skill/Dexterity affect your ability to wield different weapons and damage scaling.

Anyone that gloats over 7-8 scores should be fucking embarrassed.

Yes but you know it will happen.

I think i read somewhere that it was so reviewers could install the day 1 patch and give their opinions afterwards.

That Gamespot quote is from a preview

[Sigma722]

This was just posted by PlaystationEU. Are these comments from reviews?

I think these are all from early impressions.

 

[Late Flag]

Pretty much impossible at this point, but what would it mean if Bloodbourne turned out to be a bad game and reviewed quite badly?

There's a 0% chance that this will turn out to be a bad game. Lots of people have streamed pretty much the entire thing. If looks sensational, and if there was a problem, we would know about it by now.

I have a hard time seeing it review "quite badly." Low 80s is probably this game's floor. If it scored lower than that -- or honestly even that low -- the review thread will melt down and lead to some bannings, but the rest of us will just enjoy the game.

 

[The Artisan]

That Gamspot quote though, it's amazing.

personally I find all the other ones to be much more amazing!

EDIT: apparently these are all preview impressions.

Maybe they want to hide aspects of the story or gameplay? I've been playing all weekend. There is nothing to hide except spoilers. Game is fantastic.

apologies. deleted my post. you should, too.

Now, I'm going to look stupid if I'm wrong here since I've played a good deal of the game and quite enjoy it, but it isn't a false statement, is it? The factory paint job does come in only one color, right? You can, of course, create custom paint jobs separately.

Anyway, sorry for the somewhat OT discussion. Sitting here at an airport waiting for a flight. Still a bit sad that I'm going to be missing Bloodborne launch and won't be able to play for a few weeks

 

[-tetsuo-]

nope

He is right.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Spoilers are being posted in here?

Im out lol

 

[GribbleGrunger]

apologies. deleted my post. you should, too.

LOL ... Fanx ...

edit: You've deleted it? You do know I was joking?

 

[Forceatowulf]

This is exciting, but personally I can't wait for the Bloodborne remaster!

You say this In jest, but... I would pay money, big money, to play this game @60fps and native 4k resolution. Just sayin'

 

[BennyBlanco]

Driveclub, killzone, the order

agree to disagree I guess but none of those were exceptionally good IMO

 

[The Artisan]

it's not like the reviewers would put spoilers right in the reviews, no matter when they release. that would piss me off, i'm sure i'm not the only one

 

[joecanada]

Anyone that gloats over 7-8 scores should be fucking embarrassed.

anyone who even looks at the review scores should be embarassed these days it seems. they mean nothing. writeups are sometimes useful or video review maybe.

obviously there will be a bunch of 10/10 and some 6/10 by attention whores, but other than that, most solid games rank about the same.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

For this gen, I'd absolutely love a remastered version of Demon's Souls.

1080p 60 would be enough for me. Don't even need upgraded textures and models and such.

 

[The Artisan]

LOL ... Fanx ...

edit: You've deleted it? You do know I was joking?

I didn't even know you could delete posts. unless it's with mod assistance.

Well then somebody should remind Durante to include his Paypal address when he posts BBfix 1.0.

edited yeah of course but full on delete, no.

When does the embargo lift?

Live long enough and it'll happen. Although a long way off, PS4 emulation will eventually happen. Might take 10-15 years, maybe longer, but we'll get there. I'd imagine it'll be inherently easier considering how close to PCs the hardware in current gen consoles is.

 

[Sanctuary]

That Gamspot quote though, it's amazing.

Kevin sure loves his superlatives.

edit: bleh, whatever. Those are just really old quotes from previews. I didn't know new PR pieces used such old opinions on unfinished games.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

edited yeah of course but full on delete, no.

All he did was write 'deleted'. You're confusing me.

original xbox emulation begs to differ

I misunderstood. he edited the post to write 'deleted' in it. I thought you guys meant he made it so that that post did not even exist anymore.

10 pm EST

I'm sure it'll get remastered for the ps5 so he won't to wait 15 years

Ah, Ok. Now I understand.

 

[finalflame]

Probably very little interest at this point in OG Xbox emulation, but 360 emulation has made some progress in the past year. See Xenia article on Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenia_(emulator)

I'm confident it'll happen, sooner or later. Emulation for GC/Wii is fantastic on Dolphin, given a powerful enough computer.

[Drewfonse]

So I guess that once the initial 5GB installs, you can just put the ps4 in rest mode to install the rest? You don't have to be in game to trigger the install? Sorry for the moronic question.

Also: Driveclub. Thoughts?
