Edge #269 bloodborne

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 really like it. Short, memorable, and relates to the game's content very neatly. I'm glad they chose a completely different name rather than [something] Souls again.


To be fair, the game is already a big deal, but there aren't many pieces of promotional artwork for it at present. It's not that unusual for the same image to pop up in more than one place.
 
Well I guess my wallet will be £5 lighter today then. Beautiful cover artwork plus I quite like Edge magazine and own a pretty stack of them already. I think it's more due to design rather than content though as I'm a layout artist primarily and like the aesthetics.

Oh and having completed Demon's Souls and Dark Souls I'm hyped beyond belief for this.

My Xbox One is ready...lol
 
Edge have been pretty lenient with their scores lately. Except with Ace Combat Infinity it seems... what was their problem with it in particular? Besides it being light on content and suffering from console quality IQ and performance I've been having fun with it. For a F2P game that's a rarity in itself.

Edge content is the best. Fantastic columns for very interesting topics. Best design and content.

Xbox One? huh?
 
Features:
Fashion victims, video game genres rise and decline, but are we yet to discover the best of them?
An audience with Karl Magnus Trodsson (of DICE)
In the moment, why flow is such an important state in video games and what can players can do to attain it?
The Making Of... XCOM: Enemy Unknown
Studio Profile: Crytek UK (what unfortunate timing)
Time Extend: Braid

Haven't read the previews yet, I know many are railing on print for doing it- but they have struck a better balance between quality and quantity this E3. In the past I felt frustrated reading only a handful of sentences about games I cared about. This year full page spreads are dedicated to games.
 
The image is a visualisation of the Lorenz system. Stumbled across it searching for chaos theory.


Webster's on the butterfly effect said:
“a property of chaotic systems (as the atmosphere) by which small changes in initial conditions can lead to large-scale and unpredictable variation in the future state of the system”
 
It'll probably turn out amazing in the end, but the fact that it doesn't appear to be a normal Souls game and more of a badass character driven action game ala Devil May Cry is thankfully keeping my hype in check.
 
well it takes a strong character to apologize, especially on the internet. so i appreciate it :P


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.

Ok now my gears are spinning. Imagine if as human you are after monsters and fighting alongside others online, but plunge yourself into beast form and suddenly monsters are on your side and NPC and online players are after you...

Mother of God, if that is how this plays out.

It's getting harder to tell if people are trolling or not. Every Bloodborne Topic need a FAQ at the beginning.

not this shit again.

This is basically Miyazaki Souls on next gen.

That sounds pretty great, but I'd think monsters should still be hostile to you. Players will instantly betray you if the rewards are good.
 
Hmm that is tough to guess.

Is edge known for revealing games? With GI, sure. But edge seems more likely to do covers of games that we know are coming.

Maybe that Assassins creed for last gen since it has something to do with space and the stars from the leak.
 
What amazes me is how the editorial content of magazines like Games TM, Edge, and Retro Gamer is unmatched by most websites.

I'm just glad there are some of us left to say this.

Driveclub/Forza weather system atmospherics detailed. Also, it looks like it was made from a single thread so uhm...

Also, also: I thought it was decided last month's was MGSV? I don't think the end shots are related to 'next month' anymore.

It was just a small dig regarding the questionable exclusivity of the game.

Okay, you're not going to walk away without clarifying this remark.

Miyazaki and Sony have already made it clear it's an action-RPG with character customization (just like the Souls games).
 
Can't wait for the game

Still don't get why people are so adamant about his director status?

people are still reeling from team b or whatever?
