Dam, the game looks hot. I cant wait to get more info on it.

 

[duckroll]

eternally grateful for this ridiculous tease of gameplay footage but have to complain about the ineptitude of the demonstrator

i mean maybe lock-on targeting isnt implemented yet but ffs could he have at least hit his one shotgun blast

dude playing like everyone does their first few minutes with a souls game

I'm pretty sure that was recorded from Miyazaki's demonstration earlier for the press. If that's the case, then he definitely is the terrible Souls player he has always said he is in interviews. Lol.

 

[perineumlick]

Off topic, but they showed Lord's of The Fallen right after this. Looks damn good too!

 

[Kuro]

Ragdolls are back?!

The leaked old footage had ragdoll so I guess so.

 

[Akainu]

dat poll tampering

How many times has it changed? Anyway Duckroll is definitely a Patches.

 

[MMaRsu]

Oh man just you wait

This ain't nothing yet?

 

[VertPin]

Ragdolls are back?!

Looks like it. Ragdolls were also part of the alpha webm's.

 

[krossj]

Was hoping for more gameplay but visually looks great.

 

[Krusenstern]

Ragdolls are back?!

Ragdolls are back!

 

[KCroxtonJr]

What hitbox example are people complaining about? Him killing the first enemy?

His scythe clever thing seems to have a pretty wide swing animation and it clearly hits him.

I have no idea. I didn't see any attack miss that should have hit, in fact I saw attacks hit that should have missed due to whoever was playing completely sucking at aiming their attacks.

Ragdolls are back!

Ragdolls never left, you just couldn't kick them around in DkS2.

 

[jiggle]

That's some nice swaying fabric

 

[seabass0]

With all the work they put into this guy's cloak animation, it makes me wonder if the character customization will be more stats based and less appearance based. Or maybe they just have a great cloth physics system and it wasn't that much work to pull off.

The Cloth physics in DkS2 was much improved, and varied across a bunch of different armor sets. I'd be surprised if there weren't different armor sets in Bloodborne. Maybe not as many as Dark Souls, but...

Need dat Fashion Souls.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

With all the work they put into this guy's cloak animation, it makes me wonder if the character customization will be more stats based and less appearance based (i.e., this is always your outfit). Or maybe they just have a great cloth physics system and it wasn't that much work to pull off.

(Disregard this if I missed explicit confirmation that there will be lots of different clothing sets.)

Just bad ass cloth physics

 

[sublimit]

Thank God the walking and running animations are like Demon's/Dark 1 and have nothing to do with the shitty animations of DS2.
The leaked footage hinted at that but this basically confirms it.

 

[HF2014]

2015 is far....

 

[SephiZack]

Is it confirmed that we will only have the cleaver and the shotgun as weapons? That'd be disappointing.

No, it will be fully customizable.

The cleaver/gun man is just the "cover guy" like the characters who were marketed with the old games

 

[Akainu]

Ragdolls are back!

Ragdolls are back!

 

[coolasj19]

Maybe they don't have the lock on implemented yet

Maybe the player just isn't playing well.

Awesome graphics, but all those crazy slowdowns tell me it might look different in the end.

How about we stop trying to backseat game dev if you're not going to acknowledge how far out the game is?

 

[dmr87]

Ragdolls are back?!

Saw that in the first leaked footage.

 

[Twilight Princess]

The gameplay demo looks so much better than the trailer.

 

[OneEyeTwoHead]

My god

 

[Goodacre0081]

No lock-on? PLease tell me there's lock-on.

the demo seems devoid of any HUD elements. no lock-on, bars, or floating HP. it's almost like the game is still in development

 

[Krusenstern]

Ragdolls are back?!

I like ragdolls.

 

[crazygambit]

To those criticizing the quality of the enemy A.I. based on 5 seconds of footage -

Torch guy doesn't get the chance to attack because he got staggered by the first hit, then finished with the second. And the clip was far too short to see what the other guy was about to do. Some enemies across all three games have fairly deliberate swings.

This game is not the only one guilty of this by any stretch of the imagination, but should enemies really be dying by a hit to the ankles?

Fighting games are the worst about this, getting knocked out by a little jab to the knee.

 

[Kieli]

2015 is going to be downright disgusting.

Bloodborne, Persona 5, Witcher 3, LoZ, Bayonetta, Pillars of Eternity (no way it doesn't get delayed), and Xenoblade Chronicles.

Hnnnrrggg.

video games

hitbox

hurtbox

 

[Shin]

Thank you.

The wet street and the cloth animations/physics on that character look really good.
And world looks pretty detailed.

Yeah I was staring at the floor while he was moving about, it really looks amazing (despite capture/YouTube/stream and all that).
They nailed the atmosphere in the game and still 8 months more to go...goddamn!

 

[Osaka15]

They should have added decapitation. And I did not see any blood splatter in the gameplay . Anyway, looks like a soul game.

Nevermind i saw blood. Bad quality video

 

[CountAntonius]

Being in development as long as it has I would think they would have at least implemented something an integral to gameplay as lock on by now.

 

[nelchaar]

In my veins. Now.

 

[Dragon1893]

Why in god's name didn't he lock on? Who is playing that?
Looks great though, I'm confident that the frame rate will he fixed.

 

[Ve1ocity]

Damn that guy playing is awful

It was a girl playing, but yh I agree, she really didn't like that fence did she.

 

[KittenMaster]

I noticed that souls went into the player after he killed the enemy.

 

[sublimit]

Hnnnrrggg.

And ZeldaU!!

What?

Look at the dude's ankles in the last segment. He was practically jizzing blood.

Bayo is October. I agree though, 2015 is looking amazing!

 

[aly]

Wow, that looked amazing. I really love the setting this is in. It is really appealing to me.

 

[Panzerkrei]

Even in it's rough state the visuals are fantastic, I'm always up for more well made souls games.

 

[KCroxtonJr]

I'm not liking this "no shield" aspect, seems like an unnecessary departure from the "Souls" amazing combat; also not liking that it looks like there is no lock on and it's just random swinging...

There will be shields. People are just describing the game in the wrong ways, as if there is a pre-set character who only has a shotgun and a scythe type weapon to use.

 

[Yoshichan]

back to the vanilla polls

 

[VICI0US]

yeesh, framerate looks pretty rough in the in the first half when he's climbing the ladder and running around up top

hopefully they can optimize the game better by launch and we don't wind up with another DS2 situation

 

[Primeau31]

i have seen the future. and it is good.

should we throw *alpha build* or *work in progress* to the OP Title to ward off the concern trolls who arent going to buy the game anyway?

 

[Kaako]

Saw youtube footage. Beyond ready for this game.

 

[Masquerader]

This game is not the only one guilty of this by any stretch of the imagination, but should enemies really be dying by a hit to the ankles?

Fighting games are the worst about this, getting knocked out by a little jab to the knee.

Hitting someone in the leg with a cleaver will hurt a lot, probably incapacitating them and, without medical attention, killing them eventually.

 

[velociraptor]

This looks incredible.

So hyped.

I hope there is dismemberment.

Gt preview said godmode was enabled to get through the demo.

 

[Krusenstern]

There will be shields.

There are no shields. This has been confirmed in interviews.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Awesome graphics, but all those crazy slowdowns tell me it might look different in the end.

It will ship with frame drops, it's the fourth Souls game, you should be used to it by now.

Smh

 

[FinalStageBoss]

Lol ppl criticizing hitboxes and ai as if the game wasn't still (almost)a year away. This is why they wont show the demo.
