Miyazaki said he is the main director and he is fully involved with the game. Why do you care so much about his assistant?

Do you have a link to where he says he is the "main director" ? He says he is the director but there is someone else assisting at the director level. I doubt the other person will have a different credit than "director". I am just curious really.

4Gamer:
So I think there’s a bit of concern, or should I say "worry," among fans about just how much you can be involved in the day-to-day development while also serving as the president of the company. You are definitely the director on Bloodborne, right? Not a producer or anything?

Miyazaki:
Yes. On Bloodborne, I am 100% the director.

4Gamer:
Oh, that sure is a relief! But are you able to keep up your presidential duties at the same time?

Miyazaki:
Yeah, I’m getting by. I learned a lot from developing Dark Souls, so I have another person at the director level supporting me on this project, and I’m finding a way to make things work.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

By the way, it's an E3 cover edition. I wouldn't expect any new information about Bloodborne. Although EDGE could pull a surprise...

 

[dyergram]

Bloodborne details:

Think this is new stuff

Spoiler

Towns folk stalk the game world killing those who have turned into the warewolf style enemies
Also means you can no longer memorise their locations with the world
Killing enemies causes blood to splatter on the protagonist which seemingly restores health, however absorb too much and you become more difficult to control
Shotgun can be used while your stamina recharges
Sword weapon has secondary attack when folded which can break enemies shield

Game looks really good in the screens some concerns about the frame rate though, well we saw that in the leaked video to be fair.
Btw there's screens I haven't seen before and some artwork as well this info is from a hands on.

 

[Bloodrage]

^ Yep, sounds like an E3 preview, alright. Nothing new.

It's in the quote you posted.
He is saying he is 100% the director.That makes anyone else his assistant.

how the heck are we supposed to get through this then? especially with the game demanding you to play aggressively...

 

[Jack cw]

Concern trolling.

It's known that this game is in development since 2011/12 and Miyazaki himself just said that he is the director and not a representative ceo of a company.

 

[Hydrargyrus]

Yes, looks like I'm going to play most of the time with diminished capacities.

It's like hollow form in Dark souls, but much worse

And so it begins once again in a Sony exclusive thread.

Let's start complaining about this assumed and imaginary flaw!!!

Looks like you skipped the part about, "I am 100% the director." Doesn't get much clearer than that.

I don't think they were complaining. More like begging for mercy ahead of time.

Sounds interesting and very different from Souls.

Maybe your "beast" transformation condition depletes if you don't heal too often or there are more frequent humanity-esque items.

If you play aggressively it doesn't necessarily mean that you'll be tanking a lot. The dodging seems more flexible so it should be possible to be aggressive but dodge well too..

WTF?

I'm not complaining at all. I'm only saying that this time, it's going to be harder for players like me, at least, that kill all that see in front and doen't wast resources in going back to the "original form".

I beat Dark Souls and Demon's Souls always in hollow form. I'm only say that this time seems like I'm going to beat Bloodborne in beast mode.



Stop with this exclusive game nonsense

 

[glaurung]

They deserved it for F2P abomination.

This was already discussed in the official Infinity thread.

I say that the grade they gave it is just, but the review text itself is utter nonsense. The reviewer calls the game out for not having bomber and gunship missions. That is incomprehensibly stupid.

Murdered review is cruel, but fair. I platinumed the game on PS4 just so that I can never have to put that fucking disc in my console again. Ever.

 

[Marvel]

Nice, will read.

I need to know everything about this game.

well pardon me for trying to have a discussion on the game's mechanics based off current information.

but yeah, go ahead and accuse me of complaining (like i obviously do in every sony exclusive thread), even though i've had this game pre-ordered since E3.

I like you GribbleGrunger, but your comment was pre-mature and immature in this case.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

I still want to know who the second director is. I really hope miyazaki is not frequently absent due to other responsibilities.

There's a second director? Is there really any reason to worry though? I mean, the game has been in development since just after Artorias launched, which is well over two years now. Miyazaki was only promoted to president a few months back.

Miyazaki has said that he's 100% director. But he also said that he has someone at the director level to support him on the project. So it doesn't sound like anything to worry about.

well it takes a strong character to apologize, especially on the internet. so i appreciate it


back to business...from what i can tell,
killing enemies = blood splatter on you = health
too much blood splatter on you = become infected/turn into beast?
killing humans (like NPCs that were mention in E3 demo) = returning back to human

that what i'm speculating from the info so far.

And, hopefully, other players you see online. From what they said about the NPCs, that you'd see some of them just fighting, and it's up to you to kill/save/ignore them, they might do something similar for online.
Imagine if your world is joined with someone else's, and both of you can either work together or fight against each other.

 

[UnluckyKate]

"Borne", as in "carried" or "transported".

borne (bɔːn/)
suffix: -borne; adjective: borne

carried or transported by the thing specified.
"waterborne bacteria"

Nothing to do with "born" actually, it comes from "bear".

A disease transmitted through blood.

Borne is its own word.

Yep as others have said, Borne spelled this way means 'carried'

A disease carried in the blood, is a Bloodborne disease.

edit: on topic, the Edge cover looks awesome! When is it out?

thanks for all your answers. I should have known it was like airborne but through blood. eh.

 

[RustyNails]

I admit, Bloodborne isn't exactly an eye catching name for what's going to be a super amazing gothic action rpg. I wish they gone with something else.

i feel the complete opposite here lol. I think the Bloodborne name is brilliant.

Same here. Bloodborne has a nice (dark) ring to it.

Perfect for a franchise ...

Lord knows it's better than Blood Souls, if that was ever under consideration.

Spoiler

probably not though

 

[Guymelef]

Are we certain it's an exclusive?

I don't see Sony's logo on the cover...

 

[Soi-Fong]

Are we sure sure it's exclusive tho?

Nah man, it's coming out for the Dreamcast 5000. Along with Shenmue 3 and HL3.

 

[mclem]

english question, why E at the end of born ? what does it mean ? Is it the way you spell the word when you want to say it's born from blood ? Bloodborne ?

It *could* be old english style, but borne can also mean "carried by" (as in airborne), so if it's an infection carried in the blood, that also fits.

Holy crap that is one beautiful cover image.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

What did EDGE cover in their Dark Souls edition. Might give an insight to what they cover here.

 

[CarbonByGravity]

I'm a bit behind on Bloodborne news. Did the ever confirm if there is that is the single pre-made protagonist or will character customization be making a return?

Character customization makes a returns. If not, all hell would have already broken loose.

So bad I want this, so bad.
