Bloodborne

[OL]

I know. And Bloodborne looks almost exactly like a Souls game so far, so I thought it was all worth reinforcing.

the pace of the combat and some of the roll maneuvers was why I mentioned god of war, as far as the stages go, this game looks much more well setup, although some of those areas look at little bit narrow and linear, which may end up being a balancing tactic to keep the game difficulty decent.

When I first saw Demon Souls and saw what people were saying about it, I was intrigued. But when I really started researching the game I realized how un JRPG it really was (for its time), but at the same time I know From Software has ben making games similar to it since they have been around. It kind of looked like Elder Scrolls JRPG version, but obviously with differences, I was actually going to buy Demon Souls a couple different times just ultimate bought another game instead, I passed it up for Eternal Sonata and Resonance of Fate.

You have to give From Software credit, they broke the wall that all the other japanese devs couldnt do and are still dreaming of and that was make a successful RPG that sold well in the western territories. I would even say alot of western fans of Dark Souls probably dont even realize its a JRPG. Its doesnt have the usual anime inspired look like most JRPG, which honestly is another cool thing about bloodborne, it doesnt look like your usual japanese game. Maybe thats what allows them to do so well here, its just interesting that other japanese devs try to mimic that tactic and fail.

Fucking gorgeous.
That boss was exactly the kind of seemingly-insurmountable brilliance that make these games so damn great.
And hooray! They brought back the "kickable" corpse physics. I was missing that in Dark Souls 2.

So yeah, it's like I figured; PS4 is going to be the first "next-gen" system I get.
Just because I can kick bodies around.

I gotta say, that game looks bad ass. Its almost tempting me to get a PS4 like I had originally planned. It wont be right now I dont think but maybe before bloodborne comes out March 31st, its coming out shortly before my birthday, so who knows?

^Just get Demon's Souls for PS3. It'll be at a good price by now.

I just want to see your inner nerd rage explode.

Actually, yeah, if that looks badass at all, then just go play Demon's Souls or Dark Souls. The aesthetic style is a little different, but honestly the gameplay is practically identical. I'm sure Bloodborne has its own details and whatnot when you actually have your hands on it, but just looking at it, it's the exact same kind of fun as the rest of them.

[beedle]

looks great, just a shame I'll never buy a ps4. oh well.

[AnimeGamer183]

Honestly, the aesthetic is one of the main reasons I like it. it looks like gothic medieval europe, or a Van Helsing esque RPG. those were wolves and other creatures looked gnarly. This seems much more appealing to me than souls series, it seems this game has a more aesthetic focus were souls series is a more general fantasy/medieval premise.

I wonder how long this will stay a Playstation exclusive?

[Henry Spencer]

Well, since Sony are publishing it in all territories, I'd say until it gets ported to PSVita 2.

You get that kind of Gothic setting at times in Demon's Souls too AG. I'm suprised you havent playn it. One of my favorite PS3 games. Like it more than Dark Souls imo.

[AnimeGamer183]

Idk, but that full scale urban gothic city looks stunning, its huge and has big buildings, I wonder how many of them will be accessible?

[OL]

It'll be relatively linear. The backgrounds are mostly just window dressing in these games. Oftentimes you might eventually reach things in them, but it's not going to be as sprawling as it looks.

Looking good

At this point, I don't think anything is going to excite me further until I actually play the game.
The real joy of it all is going to be piecing together the lore anyway. That's probably the single most amazing and interesting thing about the rest of the series. There are innumerable videos on youtube piecing everything together in the Souls games, and it's all endlessly fascinating to watch and listen to. Can't wait to see that kind of thing for this.
