Never ever
>>283400991
we just don't know. It might just be an easter egg. We won't know for sure until we get out hands on it. The only thing confirmed is that Gascoine says it after killing you.
Still no shitposting.......wow
Is there any info about the length of the game and how varied and how many areas there are?
>>283401120
Dude why?
ive never played a souls games before but im gonna get BB. it reminds me a lot of nightmare creatures for PS1 and it looks like it actually has a story and cutscenes this time. the atmosphere and monster design ive seen so far all look really fresh
>>283401147
well chalice dungeons will always be different depending on what host you connect to it seems. No idea of the length, but there will be more areas than just the town. We've seen a cemetery, forest, shanty type place like blight town, a castle, and some icey area.

The question is will they keep the blood if you die again or will it disappear? Because this change sounds a lot more punishing the more I think about it.
>>283401193
Had to do it
Sorry
Feels good to be a PS4 owner.
>>283401445
maybe the more times you die without retrieving it the stronger they get because they are holding it for so long or because you keep giving them more of your essence?
>>283400839
With no more bloodstains, will you no longer see where other players have died? I really enjoyed that about the souls games.
>>283401556
This is sort of confirmed
>>283401579
there are messengers holding your tombstone instead of bloodstains now. Hints are now messengers holding onto a scroll for you to read.
>>283401579
Maybe it'll affect the enemies of your world so that if a bunch of players are dying to one enemy, he is fucking on steroids in your world

>>283401742
am i the only one who thinks the messengers look a little too ''cute''? they kind of break the serious tone
>>283401445
I seem to remember that they said your blood echoes would drop where you died but an enemy could collect them- if they did, then you'd have to kill that enemy to get them back.
Of course, that would only make sense if the enemies collect your echoes after they respawn. If they collect them when you die, then there would be no need for that mechanic as they would obviously always be near your echoes when they kill you.
My biggest concern for this game is the weapon selection. So far each one seems unique and fun, but with the amount of complexity I'm worried they went for quality over quantity... which is fine, but really I want both.
Removal of blood stains is an interning mechanic because it will stop you from just running to your blood stain and rushing back to the not-bonfire as fast as you can... Might be a bit annoying with bosses though.
Looking forward to it.
Haven't played my PS4 since around Christmas time.
>>283401807
nah I kind of agree. They are your little helpers after all. Remind me of the little demons from Berserk that follow Guts around. Also the new symbol reminds me of the sacrificial mark on Gut' neck.

>>283401807

Does the killer enemy's HP refill when you respawn or do they stay so you can wittle it away
>>283402081
it would be cool if they also gave the enemy that picked up your blood echoes some kind of strength boost too. to make you fear dying even more
I'll understand this. Why spoil game for yourself? Watching videos of gameplay and first 7 minutes, why? Are you retards who want to sprint the game and post on /v/ first that you've completed it and spoil the ending?
is there any gameplay of anyone using the cane whip? all i've seen so far is the cleaver and the kirkhammer

Sauce? We don't know that yet do we? Maybe they just changed some things since the beta.
>>283403348
No we have known there is day and night in the game but I'm not sure if we have got confirmation on an ACTUAL day/night cycle.
I mean in one interview they said there is day and night but its not dynamic but they change with the story, but I have heard different as well.
Is anyone still interested in this game?
It sounds worse than Dark Souls 2, and let's not forget it was FUCKING DOWNGRADED. Also, expect some big fuckups everywhere as usual.
Demon's Souls and Dark Souls were awesome, but they should have stopped there.

>you no longer have a bloodstain; to retrieve your lost blood echoes you must kill the enemy that last killed you (they will have glowing eyes)
Cool as fuck, now you can't cheese the game by just retrieving your bloodstain and getting the fuck outta dodge, now you HAVE to fight for it.
>the riposte of this game is called a "visceral attack" They are landed after hitting an enemy with a charged attack from behind or shooting an enemy from the front as they ready an attack and stagger them
Sound like they're making backstabs and ripostes way harder to abuse, I'm all for it.

The hype is real.
In 2015 for the PS4.....
A Port of a Steam game which was a port of a PS1 game (FFVII)
A Port of a PS3 game which was a port of a PS2 game (FFX)
A port of a PSP game (FF0)
A port of a PS3 game (DaS II)
A port of a GC game which was a remake of a PS1 game (RE1)
A port of a PS3 game (DmC)
A port of a PS3 game (Devil May Cry 4)
A port of a PS3/PC game (Payday 2)
WHY DO YOU NOT OWN A PORTSTATION 4 YET?
>>283404110
yeah you HAVE to get a stagger to riposte and backstab now. Pretty baller.

>people whining about graphics
>in a FROM software game series
I will never, ever understand this, beyond my understanding that all of you are new to the companies and jumped on the bandwagon with Demon's Souls (or lets be honest, Dark Souls)
they were always a small company that was known for fairly bad graphics for the console the game is on, but incredibly deep and rewarding RPG elements.
either through King's Field like RPG stuff that went on to be the Souls series
or Armored Core, where the RPG elements come into mech customization, that is so complicated it even factors in weight distribution.
>>283400839
>The game will also feature a day and night cycle, which will affect the behavior of enemies.
"Oh cool", or "Oh shit"?
>>283405470
thanks. Good to know.
>>283405481
I feel like it might just affect the times the townsfolk go on hunts or when dogs are sleeping or something. No idea. Maybe the wolf peeps only come out at night.
>>283400839
>>283400839
what happens when you're killed by a boss?
does it still take your souls?
do the souls disappear if you die a second time?
>>283405481
depends on how the environments will look both day and night
I'm guessing they will look like shit during daytime since the focus so far seems to be to make them look good at night.
I hope I'm wrong though. But From has failed to deliver on the lighting department before.
>>283405690
no idea, sorry. The alphas didn't have souls and every video we have seen so far ends when the boss kills you or cuts off early anyway. Wish I knew.
>>283405476
Because without the graphics, all that remains is a bad Souls game.
>>283405419
I always felt that Demon's Souls had the best ideas and art style. If they upgraded that with the improved technology they have for Bloodborne I feel that they could come up with something really good.
>>283401428
Someone replace one of the faces with Costanza.
>>283405813
we also haven't seen shields, i'd refrain from parroting how 'useless' they are until we've seen them in action.

and if the first fucking bump in the road (in your pitiful mind) knocks you off the bandwagon you hopped on early...
then FUCK off.
So are they including anything cool physical item with the game like they did with DeS and DaS?
>>283401807
I don't think many people would consider those cute.

ooooh. Yeah there is. The special edition brings a little bell, artbook, soundtrack and some special case for the game or some shit. Not sure if the regular one comes with a soundtrack and artbook though. I really don't want to pay extra.
This is the best BB thread i've seen. What's up with that? Are the shitposters somewhere else?

I haven't been keeping up much with the info just to not spoil anything, but did they keep the animation for that? Last I remember, your character doesn't use his weapon to riposte, but simply impales the enemy with his bare hand. Is that still in or was it a placeholder of some kind?

>>283407296
I think given how unique each weapon is it would have taken an immense amount of work to make unique back stabs for each, and an additional for the alternate form. All while also making sure they have similar timings and such for balance sake
>>283407547
What if you die due to environmental hazards? Like falling off a cliff?

>>283407786
you do drop your "essence" or something like a bloodstain, but if you died to an enemy they pick it up and hold onto it. Pretty sure if you die to gravity you can go grab it.

Well if the same is applied for Bosses it's really going to be a huge pain in the ass. They didn't mention what happens if you die for a fall or a trap.
Any chance there will be heavy armor in this game? Knight armor, etc.

As much as I appreciate it being more difficult by having to kill the enemy that killed you, that change still seems like it'll end up being kind of annoying.
>>283408230
This is true, but I still think that "unforgiving" is a large part of what makes the Souls (and KF, and AC) atmosphere.
>>283408493
Salt and Sanctuary, yeah. Doubt that game will be all that good though from what I've seen, it seems to have more artificial difficulty than DaS2 and they already need Vaati to shill it for them.
>>283408465
Not likely. You might find some ceremonial shit or maybe a steel cuirass but a suit of heavy plate would be out of place for the time.
>>283408412
IGN's 'First' bullshit had the creator state that there are indeed shields in the game, but being a turtle will result in a quick death on this game unlike the Souls series.
None were shown but I'm going to assume all shields will have relatively shitty stability and not 100% physical block.

The fact that there's no magic makes it seem pretty likely.
The Old One is gone, so there's no source.
Like DS2, it'll probably be obvious that it's in the same universe a few days after release.
im a bit worried because there doesn't seem to be a huge amount of variety in weapons or armor in the game, even if the ones that do exist(atleast weapons, i don't care all that much for the clothes i've seen yet) makes me rock hard
i just hope there is a lot more that we haven't seen yet

Think there will be anymore unique weapons like the hammer/sword? I want a shurikin type weapon that can damage at close range but if you're far enough you can throw it at enemy's but it uses alot of stamina (stops it from being OP)
>>283408827

I'm personally hoping that Miyazaki realizes how fucking stupid it is to put magic and weapon buffs in these games. It trivializes everything: enemies, bosses, players. For someone who wanted to challenge players before, he sure put some easy-mode tools in there for them to use.
I am really, REALLY hoping magic and buffs fuck off and aren't present in Bloodborne.

will you really buy a ps4 just for one game? I bought a new computer just when the ps4 and xbone came out to play more games for less money with better quality than I would have buying any of the consoles. I don't care if this game is goty, I'll play any other goty on pc
>>283408682
I won't beat Bloodborne that fast first time though. And Souls games have very high replay value, it's not like I'm going to play it once. I still play DaS for like 10 hours per week and don't even do PvP. Plus, my PS4 was a gift which didn't cost me anything, and I'm going to use it for MGSV and No Man's Sky if their PC release is later than the console date.
>>283408827
How much have we seen when DS2 wasn't still out? Almost nothing, some people even suspected that there was going to be only one character in the entire game. Miyazaky promised us as much variety as in DS2.
Beside cutting variety would mean killing the game since personalization is one of the strongest points of this franchise.
>>283408682
Dunno maybe some people save 1 dollar bills instead of buying a bag of chips when they want a snack but I'm not one of those.
>>283408718
There are two stats called "Bloodtinge" and "Arcane" on the status screen. I don't see how that would be used for anything but spells and blood-related magic

My guess is night will bring out more of the fucked up monster types like the werewolf guys, while day will have more humanoid enemies
>>283409225
>no more magic
Yay
>no more weapon buffs
boo, wish they spent more time making the buffs balanced. Swordmage is one of my favorite archtypes and the souls series is one of hte few where its viable.
>>283409275
>Dunno
Then you should stfu and lurk more instead of talking about things you know nothing about.
>>283408069
>The reason dark souls is such a hit is the difficulty
>Dark souls 2 was the hardest game I played in the last 5 years
In other words, he doesn't understand the appeal. And he also only played DS2 and is falling into that trap of people thinking the first Souls game they played was the hardest. They're all pretty easy once you get in the mindset of playing them.
>>283409373
I'm sure there will still be resins or some shit similar.
>>283408450
Why would it be a pain in the ass? If you're fighting a boss, why on earth would you have any souls unspent?
>>283409464
Dark souls II is the hardest Souls game though
>>283409419
Am I supposed to enter your poorfuck mentality?lol
>>283409225
>no more weapons buffs
but that's not true. There will actually be buffs
>>you no longer have a bloodstain; to retrieve your lost blood echoes you must kill the enemy that last killed you (they will have glowing eyes)
Now this is pretty cool
>>283409526
>>283408450
yeah I was gonna say, you need to keep grabbing your souls again or kill the boss in one go in the other Souls games so this won't be much different anyway.
>>283409561
Only because it has the most bullshit and tried to be hard, instead of trying to be a good game and just happening to have a higher than average difficulty.
That's the biggest problem with Dark Souls 2 imo.
>>283409373
Pretty sure there are still weapon buffs, they had the saw cleaver flickering with electricity whilst fighting a boss in a demo
>>283409419
Yeah bloodborne sux am I rite guise?XD
>>283408827
>They've shown off 1 level and like 5 weapons
>NO VARIETY!
Of the few weapons they showed off there's a sword/whip cane, a giant hammer, a scythe and a huge saw. I fail to see your point.
>>283407072
>Scythe backstab
Don't remind me m80
>>283409561
I totally agree
for instancekeeping down your soul memoryfucking shitty system
>>283409637
>tfw bosses pick up blood echoes
>Bloodborne will be less focused on simply killing you
>Casuals will still die and complain anyway
Mark my words. DaS2 was significantly easier than the previous games because you had so many magic tools to help you cheese the game and people STILL raged and complained.
I have a friend who quit playing DaS halfway, never wanted to try Demon's or DaS2, and is now getting Bloodborne because there's nothing else. He hinted at me that he wants me to help him through the game.
Casuals will be casuals. Bloodborne will be just fine in terms of difficulty.
>>283409742
>and all of these weapons have dual functions and 2ndary movesets
NO VARIETY AT ALL!
>>283409742
you forgot the axe and dual daggers.
>>283409526
>, why on earth would you have any souls unspent?
Because this time unless we cheat and look for guides/walkthroughts we can't predict when the boss fight will start.
>>283400991
Its more likely just a reference.
>>283409637
What if you die byfalling through the floor due to bugs like what happened all the time in DaS1?
>>283409867

>>283409814
>Poise is gone
>Heavy armor is gone

The tears are going to be fucking legendary. All these fuckwads who slapped on Havels and face-tanked their way through the series are going to get butt-fucked royally. I can't wait to hear the crys of frustration from those that can't dodge.
>>283409889
There's still fog doors before boss fights. Fog doors were always an indication of going into a new area with new threats. Spend your souls before going through a new door, easy.
>>283409867
>The i-frames on that backdash
What the fuck is this, Dark Souls 2?

>>283409990
>not rolling effectively in Havels and squishing somebody with your Dragon Tooth
Were there people that couldn't do that?
>>283409991
Only sometimes are there fog doors, other times ther boss will surprise you and then the fog will form behind you. This is what happens with Cleric Beast.

>>283408069
And yet, the Souls series was always about being interesting, NOT about being difficult, and this looks to be one of the most interesting entries since Demon's Souls. Even better!
So what good are the off-hand guns? I haven't really seen any gameplay of people using them extensively.
>>283409464
So you're saying that Bloodborne is for someone who has never played a Souls game, and everyone else should avoid it because it will feel piss easy?
>>283409867
> that kick
Fffffuck yeah
>>283409990
Even though I don't have and don't plan on getting a PS4 I still can't wait for it to come out.
Why? DSP's playthrough.
>>283409867
You can kick? The fuck? I played the alpha and you definitely couldn't. Either they took it out or added it in
>>283410001
>no heavy armor

Whats the issue with I-frames on your one defense?
>>283400839
>>you no longer have a bloodstain; to retrieve your lost blood echoes you must kill the enemy that last killed you (they will have glowing eyes)
i like it
>>283409867
The warped swords aren't daggers, they're swords.
>>283409228
That actually sounds kinda cool. You could quick draw a katana from a bigger katana and then clap like a BR samurai
>>283410107
Aggroing enemies and parrying.
>>283409561
It's really not though. I can get through most of the game without dying once. The only "difficulty" it has is that it occasionally spams you with enemies while using a system designed for single encounters. And even then it's not hard. It just takes longer.
>>283409979
What's the use of playing "baby's first souls game"?
>>283410001
DS1 had them too, can't remember if there was a backstep in des.
so, this is pretty much going to just be I frames the game? no strategies besides poke and roll.
>>283410274
>so, this is pretty much going to just be I frames the series? no strategies besides poke and roll.
there we go
>>283410254
yes there was a backstep in DeS. You could also climb up chest high walls in DeS. Wonder why they took that out. No jumping R2s or jumping in general though...
>>283401807
I think their cute as fuck, but I like that.
I want a messenger plushie:3c
>>283410274
I played the alpha build at EGX and as far as I could tell, there are no iframes on the dash. I guess the speed and distance makes up for it. Don't know about the roll though.
>>283400839

That was only with 60FPS and that's not going to be a problem with Bloodborne :^)

>some faggot shill on 4chan (you) says they're all wrong
just stay quiet, you fucking clown.
>>283409561
nope, its the easiest, the enemies are more aggressive and they do agro in mobs, but poise is the reverse of DaS and DeS, so nothing can stagger you unless you are rolling a naked deprived, plus life gems means you can trade hits with everything and beat every one on the DPS race
>>283410107
mainly for parrying, but there is a chance some could be more effective damage wise then others.
Like if you were to throw an oil phial then use the flamethrower...

>There's still fog doors before boss fights
Did you see any fog gate before of the Cleric Beast fight? I didn't, it only appearead if you get killed and try the fight for the second time.
Anyway I won't complain about this I'll probably get assraped and try to git gud as usual. That's what Souls are about.
>>283400839
Looks and sounds sickdark as fuck.
PC release when?
>>283408827
They didn't show much off in the DaS2 beta either.
Honestly, I'm fine with there being only, like, 15 or so weapons not counting fire arms. Thinking back to the past games, people generally only used the same 10 or so weapons unless they were running novelty build.
>>283410439
You do understand that they make those demos easier than the final game, right? Are you retarded by any chance?
>>283410001
DS1 had them too. In fact, there was a whole set of pvp moves around exploiting them to basically backdash through and attack and get behind your opponent.
>>283410527
that's like saying you hate anime because it's what all the weebs talk about
>>283410543
they might be taking the "reboot" approach and doing what Demon's did, few weapons and armours that all have their place in the game
>>283410529
>assraped
You won't unless they hired an all-new programming team and finally worked on the AI for more than a day.
>>283410439
>Out of almost 5000 people playing the game at PAX and TGS only 60 managed to beat the Cleric Beast.

They've been riding that difficulty train for a long time. You shills sure are a pathetic bunch, you even ignore your previous "hypes!" like they never existed for the sake of selling more copies of this turd.
