How would a Bloodborne sequel even work? Isn't the story over?
not every game needs a sequel
It is, the only way it would work is if it wasn't set in Yharnam.
Dark souls 3 u fight against ds1 protag who became final boss
Bloodborne 2 u fight against bb protag who became great one
The cycle continues
They'd just completely fuck up the first game like they did with Dark Souls.
Bloodborne 2if you have finished the true ending in the first, your general stats and stuff start as a starting pointyou play as a great one, interacting with humanity and developing as a god like being
BB is so perfect on its own that anything else would be diluting it. It doesn't need a sequel and I really hope it doesn't get one.
>>339533971
Dark souls 1 story was also over yet they didn't give a shit
>>339533971
Side stories, previous stories, distant future. Doubt they ever gonna make a sequel tho.
>>339533971
It is pretty much wrapped up, doesn't mean they couldn't tackle the world itself in its state at the end of the first game. Where the great-ones are revealed and actively are fucking up the world.
Basically the 2nd half of the game, huge nightmare shit from the start, with the Great ones all over the place but in a different setting.
By saying "more aliums do more crazy shit"
The new MP is in a kosm war.
etc.
You get the fucking point, you can bullshit tons of stuff. People were saying the same stuff about Dark Souls, well the story is over, you can't possibly do a sequel! Either way it's not happening, if we get any more Souls game in the next few years it'll be DaS4.

>>339535202
I feel that the great ones are too much of a force to be let on to the world. I see them interacting with humanity ending up like a human trying to fit inside an egg without breaking the shell. It just doesn't work in any sense. Monsters are one thing, but inter-dimensional gods are another.
>>339533971
It's not necessary at all.
Instead I'd like a game in the same formula but a completely different setting.
>>339535629
Which is what makes it interesting, these beings of unfathomable power are actually sympathetic to humanity, OoK is the most interesting and challenging boss in the series considering its a newly born great one that slaps the shit out of the most experienced Hunter around. Move BB to the cosmic scale to make it even more terrifying.
do it as a prequel? or have yharnum become the next phlthumia or whatever the fuck the names are called. I can't fucking type them properly I don't have tentacles
Why would you want a BB sequel after DS2?
From is at its best creating new IPs.
>>339535886
I don't know. One of the best things about BB was that initial realisation of what the game actually is when the transition from Victorian horror to Lovecraftian horror happened. For me it worked so well when you consider the mechanic of Insight and how well it worked if you consider that you, the player, were also gaining insight along with the character. It was meta done perfectly.
For me it was these little things on top of the sublime gameplay that made it my favourite ever, so without those, it just won't have that special something. It will just a another DaS2.
>>339536015
>I can't fucking type them properly I don't have tentacles
>>339536301
Brother I don't disagree in the slightest. I was simply spitballing what they COULD do if it was a sequel. Prequels are the laziest format, and I would want something crazy so we don't get another DS2-DS3 situation where its just the same game with a few new areas.
BB is the best game they've ever made, I really hope they top it with their 2017 project.
Bloodborne's lore is practically self contained, I think it should stay a standalone game. A fucking perfect one in my eyes.
>>339534026
Yes true but they've already confirmed BB2
I've always wanted to see a Soulslike game in a more lushed out and thriving world. Every Souls game (Even bloodborne) was in a setting that has already seen it's time, and I've always wanted to see a Souls game set in a world that is seeing it's time. I remember in one interview Miyazaki mentioned that Firelink shrine was originally supposed to be set in a hub with waterfalls and greener grass, but after fire became such a vital plotpoint they thought it didn't fit as well. With the possibility of more spinoffs that idea sounds a lot more likely, I know it probably sounds generic as hell on paper but I'm confident From can make it pretty good.
>>339536890
I'd like to see the world going bad, instead of jumping in after everything is fucked.
>>339536627
I wish and hope they make a Tenchu game. Can you imagine how good it could be?
>>339533971
The same way the other Souls sequels worked - rehash the same themes and ideas with an additional veneer of obscurity and unnecessary ambiguity.
Yharnam is long gone, and in its place another civilization discovers the great ones and succumbs to the beast plague because nobody ever fucking learns.
Better yet, just leave it alone - we don't need a sequel, and Fromsoft will just find a way to fuck it up anyway.

Now that's something I'd buy for a dollar.
It's a story about incomprehensible cosmic beings, you could just make up some cool bullshit and put it in a different setting/time and boom, you've got a sequel
Not to mention the game refers to a bunch of different lands and different time periods being affected by the great ones.
>>339534617
In a perfect world Demon's Souls, Dark Souls and Bloodborne would never get sequels. They work better as stand alone titles each totally free of being bogged down with stupid addendums attached to them.
>>339537624
Jesus Christ anon.
Out of all the souls game BB has the most blatantly laid out story and lore. There's very little room for interpretation and the DLC flat out stated what shit has gone down.
Dark Souls didn't end on a cliffhanger. Tons of games that were wrapped up gets sequels. Just look at Mario. They basically just redo stories with no relation even when it's from SMB 1 to 2 to 3 or SMW to Yoshis Island.
Developers aren't going to turn money down on the notion that a sequel breaks continuity.
>>339533971

Stop being retarded guys. I love the stories and lorefagging as much as anybody, but at the end of the day I just wanna g through cool looking areas, fight challenging enemies, get fucked up by hard bosses, and fucking invade people and ruin their shit while they try to do the above.

like all the souls games, you'd play as an ignorant chump who wonders into a city and has to kill his way to the final boss, just in this case the final boss will be the great hunter squid from the first game.
or maybe "TIME IS CONVOLUTED THE LANDS HAVE CONVERGED :^)" will happen again and no one from the previous games will be back unless they were meme characters
>>339538324
I assumed it just had something to do with Oedon and people jacking themselves up with alien blood. Doesn't necessarily mean you can't have anything else going on after that.
>>339537815
You're one of the few people I've seen that agrees with me on this position.
My friend wants to get Bloodborne 2 so he can just keep playing around with the combat and shit, and I'm sitting here thinking that a sequal would fucking ruin any foundation the game's lore or world had set up and fuck up the fucking legacy a game like Bloodborne has left.
Fuck a Bloodborne 2 sequal would infuriate me.Even though I'd still probably fucking buy it.
>>339538351
True but with BB you deal with thing that aren't understood completely by the people in the setting. In DS you are purposely blocked from learning the worlds basic history even though religion and legends about lordran should be common knowledge to everyone in the setting.
They'll make up some stuff. Just look at DaS 3. A story so fucked it makes 2 easier to follow that a Pixar movie.
>>339537589
You mean faggots pretending to be PCfags pretending to pray they get it

First part is just because the actress has a great voice, and I never saw the doll tending to the Moon Presence at all. Like Gehrman said in the beginning of the game, the doll is just a tool of the workshop that you can use. She's not like the Maiden.
>>339539276
It's shit. I really, really liked Dark Souls2and 3, but I would have wanted Dark Souls 1 left well alone. I feel like, truly, Miyazaki excels in creating new worlds rather than reiterating on one again as shown with 3.
>>339539216
Oh man, I'm so glad there's nothing like that present in the actual game.
Contrived, meaningles references already stick out like a sore thumb in the Souls series, but are especially unfitting in a game like Bloodborne I feel.
A sequel that expands on concepts, story- AND gameplay-wise would be needed to make a sequel to BB work. Or else, it might as well be "Demon's Souls 3: No Memes Edition".

>Miyazaki creates Dark Souls: Episode VII

Only problem I see with BB is that there wouldn't be a great sense of escalation. It ramps up to all the alien shit really nicely, there isn't anywhere to go after that. If you go into the second one knowing about that stuff, what do they do to escalate things? Super aliens?

Vermin are the cause of humanities impurity. Also something to do with ashen blood?
Great ones blood interracts with the vermin and causes the transformations.

It does have one: the crust.
>>339533971
It would have to be in the past most likely. Back with the pthumerians, or when the plague was first starting off. You could be one of the church hunters. We could be killing monsters and cosmic beings that bloodborne didn't talk about. That would be dope. Or it could be in the future, there's gotta be more cosmic beings that want to mess with us.
>>339538741

>>339540701

Pizza is glorified toast. Pie is closer to a tart than that.
>>339540865
Does meringue pie or coconut cream pie or pumpkin pie have a top crust? No. And they are still pie.
The key elements of Bloodborne in the gameplay are the trick weapons, firearms, and higher speed. The key elements of Bloodborne in the plot is the use of blood, dreams/nightmares, and the existence of old gods. Those are the only things you need to maintain in a Bloodborne sequel. It doesn't have to be set in Yharnam, or have anything to do with Yharnam. It doesn't need to extrapolate on Byrgenwerth or the Pthumerians. It doesn't need to have the Plain Doll or the Hunter's Dream. It doesn't even need to have the same gothic architecture that made Bloodborne stand out from Dark Souls.
There's no reason in Bloodborne to assume that what you accomplished had any permanence within the world. It didn't really change anything, as far as we know, the night of the hunt can still come around, old gods still exist, et cetera. Your character either woke up, became the host of the dream, or became an old one, but that doesn't change anything with nearly as much supposed finality as putting the old one back to sleep in Demon's Souls, or how linking the fire seemed when there was only one Dark Souls game.
The only difficult part is that trick weapons seem to be a product of the workshop, and blood ministration seems like a Yharnam specialty. I think you could do it without the original setting, but I don't want it to be some cyclical horseshit where some city or civilization will always inevitably succumb to the temptation to drink the blood of old ones hoping to ascend, and this will always result in beasts, which will always cause hunters to flourish. That's what fucked up Dark Souls.

I want the events of Bloodborne to happen again, except it's got a religious sci-fi theme in the far future.
Kind of like the 40k asthetic. Except without the HUGE DUDES.
>>339541486
because it expanded rather than defined, as a sequel should.
It introduced new concepts like cycles, thrones, and giants.

My mom and chicago deep dish do not appreciate that. I'll inform your mother of this after I'm done eating delicious greasy pizza 'pie' with no 'shell'.
>>339541897
Yes, that's why it's so good. Didn't reiterate for shit and most previous game ties were reserved for easter eggs and cameos.
What about a sequel that really played up the "you are a beast yourself" element that everybody thought Bloodborne would capitalize on before we found out beasthood was just a shitty dps meter. The rune from the DLC really doesn't count, it's just an advanced version of that meter that interacts with one weapon. Introduce some real beast mechanics into the combat on a fundamental level, that's what I would want, and if they did it well, the mechanical jump would justify the sequel well enough for me even if the story felt kind of like a repeat.
>>339533971
BB 2 would be like DaS2, complete shit.
>>339541887
I'm kind of sad that the inside of her mouth is not a small portal/pocket of stars and cosmos as I originally thought it was before taking a closer look. Whould have fit the whole "daughter of cosmos" thing.Doesn't mean what we got with the eyes inside was not great

I'd rather just have more DLC, raise the price to $30 or $40 fuck it I don't even care, as long as the content is like The Old Hunters, but just more of it.
The problem is though if you look at the trophies, only a fraction of the base players end up getting DLC.
>>339533971
I really hope they leave BB alone
DaS2 and 3 are so fucking redundant. We already knew all of their endings since DaS1. Yes it's a cycle, yes it repeats, yes my choice doesn't matter in the long run, no need to shove it down my throat 3 fucking times.
I wish the time From wasted on DaS2 and 3 would've been spent on making new IPs or at the very least new universes within the Souls series. Anything would be more interesting than DaS sequels. But alas, they were contractualy obligated to do these boring games for BandaiNamco.

I have so much trouble with games like these.
I guess it's because I don't fall in line with the whole male power fantasy thing, which most games are geared towards. You know, being a murderous drone with no real identity beyond your killcount. That sort of thing. I just can't do it. And that's a shame, because often I will enjoy the lore and the world.
Put me in front of wildlife or even a dragon and ask me to kill it, though, and I'll feel sadness. I can't help myself. All I see are other creatures trying to survive, and the levels of Freudian in killing a dragon do me in. I mean, it's almost like a rebellious youth thing, isn't it? The dragon is a representation of a person with power, authority, wisdom, intellect, and knowledge -- it's literally an avatar of what it means to be an elder.

>>339542478
I don't think that's right. Yharnam was real. The Hunter's Dream and the Nightmare Realms are dreams, but in Bloodborne terminology, "dream" is just another word for "dimension."
It was the real Yharnam burning to the ground, infested with beasts, in the grip of cosmic horrors. The Hunter's Dream is a refuge outside of the real world that keeps Hunters selected by Gehrman/Moon Presence to do whatever it is they're needed to do.

What's even weirder about DaS2 is that it still references 1 here and there but it tries to be sneaky about most things. Like "This [weapon/armour/spell/whatever] came from somewhere/was made by someone long ago, but nobody remembers what it really is". Shit was dumb,DaS3 doing basically the opposite isn't much better.
>>339542709
assuming this isn't autistic copypasta, every souls game from has made, has it's own story and you're an important character, it's just not told through a long pre gameplay monologue like other games. every boss you kill is also important, you just have to actually pay attention
but still holy shit this post hurt my eyes to read
>>339533971

Then whats the deal with one of the endings where you get killed by Gehrnam. You wake up in real Yharnam and the sun rises.

>>339538154
It's not just about story.
Look at the shit that is DaS3, literally 80% of all equipment is recycled from previous games, and so are the movesets. Being a sequel affects the gameplay repetitiveness just as much as the lore.
A sequel is NEVER more interesting than a brand new idea.

With Souls gameplay. Obviously.

>>339533971
There shouldn't be, if they want a new game they should make a new series with different lore.
If they were forced to do BB2, the best thing to always do is to make it a prequel of some sort, that way we can learn more about the setting without fucking anything up too much.

If you're 'dreaming' you're stuck to the hunter's dream, and every time you die you awaken there

Mark my words, if I ever become filthy rich I would ask Miyazaki to supervise a Bloodbornewestern animationthat dealt with the night of the hunt Djura spent in the Hunter's dream and same with the night Eileen was in a contract with MP. It would contain flashbacks to how exactly Byrgenwerth got old blood and how young Gherman started the workshop, and maybe a side story on young Micolash and his time at the school, and add reasons to his caharcter to why he wanted to contact mergo. One of the plots points could kick off things with hunters investigating kidnappings that eventually lead to Yarh'gul and Mensis, and end in a confrontation the leads to Rom being transformed into a great one to guard the Mensis ritual from happening, and leaving it as a cliffhanger that leads to Bloodborne. Some sidestories would contain the raid of Cainhurst, Ludwig rising to Yahrnam's strongest hunter while being guided by the Moonlight sword and his eventual fall into beast hood, and maybe some side story that follows a regular Yahrnam hunter that has to deal with the fact he is not immortal while following either Djura or Eileen around (who oviously can't die at the moment) as his sees all his comadres die on their first night of the hunt after months of training.
The game and the series would be tied to each other together so well that you could tell a fan of the series that Bloodborne was made after the series and he would believe you and see Bloodborne's lore as a continuation of the series, but also acknowledging the series as pure fan-fiction/an extended universe of sorts to not piss off fans who want to think of Bloodborne's story as a stand-alone.
Remember this post, 25 years from now if a series called Paleblood is announced you knownit was meI know it won't happen, but I want to stay in the dream :(
Next souls game will be based on Greek mythology. Basically God of War but with souls mechanics.

No. Bloodborne represents one night of the hunt of many others. The only thing that changes in the end is who hosts the Hunter's dream that trains Hunters to fight Kos' curse on mankind for killing her child in the first place.

I want a fucking Legacy of Kain remake with all the same cutscenes but with Souls/bloodborne gameplay/combat. For fuck sake, Soul Reaver already fits a Dark Souls-like plot: kill your 4 brothers and consume their souls, you eat souls, you can't die, and always come back.

I'm not 100% against a Bloodborne sequel, but I would prefer it stayed it's own thing and they made another unique game.
That being said, it doesn't require a sequel because the story is done. The Hunter was cured and ascended to Greatness. But with the ambiguouty the series is known for it would be easy to come up with the 'dreams' actually being different dimensions, and the nightmare and 'reality' colliding.
>>339534361

It is.
That's why Miyazaki said he wouldn't do a sequel.

don't they normally do a summer sale? i'm holding off on buying it cause i'm waiting for that.
i hope axiom verge goes on sale soon, i'd like to play it as well
It wouldn't. Miyazaki hates direct sequels especially more since his deal with namco for the DS trilogy. I wouldn't be surprised if he never makes a sequel again

I don't really get this to be honest.
I thought dark souls 3 was largely better than 1.
>>339546632
Oh yeah I still need to play that. Is it possible to play it on the PS4? I forget if the console is backwards compatible or not

It is not, sadly. Pretty fucking lame, hopefully they just slap it on PSN or something.
>>339547090
>Souls game with Red Orchestra combat and movement
maybe I would actually play it
>>339547140
But that's the point of DaS I, II, and III. Nothing you do ultimately does matter, because the cycle will continue.
>>339547206
No
I don't think it's on PSNow either. DS1/DS PS4 remaster when?
>>339547276
No, that wasn't the point of Dark Souls 1. Dark Souls 2 added that retarded cycles shit in and 3 had to go with it.
The idea that the lord souls constantly regenerate with every age of fire is so dumb it makes my head hurt.
>>339547271
>>339547305
Ah, that's lame. I think my friend might have a PS3 I can borrow at least, in case I get an urge to play it
>>339547384
DS3 completely debunks the stupid cycles shit. Fire was continuously linked yet it grows weaker and we're witnessing the last era where truly linking the Fire is not possible.
>>339547384
Makes just about as much sense as the lord souls randomly appearing from nothingness.
If anything, you could at least justify:
>gather all lord souls
>link the flame
>this disperses the flame across the land, and the power of the lord souls
>this eventually contracts as the flame needs to be linked again, drawing power towards the flame
>>339547180
All 3 of the DaS games use the same overarching plot.
>kill these 4 old things and use their souls to either stop the first flame from going out or just fuck off and do your own thing
Not that it doesn't work but it is kinda repetitive.
>>339547593
>Makes just about as much sense as the lord souls randomly appearing from nothingness.
No it doesn't. DaS1's intro was a fucking creation story. It makes no sense how the souls can just regenerate, especially when DaS3 confirms that Gwyn's soul was somehow still tied to the flame.
2 was fucking horrendous in terms of lore, with the exception of the shards of manus stuff.
Would you like this to happen to you?
I'm not much of a lorefag so I never really knew what the story of BB was. Here's what I gathered from just cutscenes and shit you see around you:
>Once a year (or every night, not sure) strong people go out to hunt beasts and whatnot.
>Meanwhile lovecraftian Ayys have been giving bits of power to humans who worship them
>During this particular hunt, something (Not sure exactly what the catalyst is) causes all hell to break loose and nearly everyone becomes "infected" by the illness caused by people making deals and sometimes even breeding with the old ones.
Things I didn't understand are:
Were you even a hunter? Seemed almost like the whole game took place with you having a nightmare while laying on that operating table.
If it all was a dream, did your actions even have any effect? Were there ever any aliums at all, or did you just get bit by a wolfy during a hunt and all this shit is a fever dream?
What does Oedon look like?
>>339547792
It's never stated in DS3 that lords souls straight regenerate. Oceiros took part in a cult that worshiped Seath, gaining some dragon-like qualities via unlocking the secrets of Archdragon Peak, Aldritch most likely found the remnants of souls of Nito and Witch somewhere in the Deep. Gwyn's soul became a part of a collective entity formed by all who ever linked the Fire. All DS2 bullshit about lords appearing again and carrying the same souls was thrown into the window.
>>339547546
The cycle includes the dark coming and going.
Hence, you cannot stop it, and the dark comes.

I feel weird about how everyone wants to become Great Ones.
They all hide in seclusion not doing anything.
Plus they're all giant monstrosities, but I guess having the insight and knowledge of a high plane allows you to see past all that.
But they can still be killed by Hunters.

>a land of grey crags and archtrees
>and then there was flame
>and from the darkness they came
>and retrieved the souls of lords
Sure sounds reasonable, and not completely out of fucking nowhere.
In dark souls 3, the reason you fight the avatar of cinders is because you aren't using the souls of lords to link the flame, you are using the essences of the five lords of cinder, each one laying claim to various power sources to link it, so it's more a representation of the lords of cinders rather than any one being
>it makes no sense how the souls can just regenerate
The core aspect of souls games is that you go to the bonfire to regenerate everything
It sure makes sense to me.
>>339548132

>>339548159
Hunters are part eldritch monsters as well, this is the only way they can stand against Great Ones. You cross the line by consuming the Cords.
>>339548383

If consuming diluted blood counts as being part Great One then all of Yharnam are ayylmaos.

The firekeeper stright up tells you the fire is gonna come back anyways on the ending where to turn of the flame.
I don't see why you couldn't make a sequel. As far as I can tell the story was only over for your particular hunter. I mean you either escape the dream or become another great one. It didn't seem like the cycle was broken. The hunter's dream will still continue on for others.
>>339548285
You definitely do with the former but your psyche might change with the whole ascended perception of the universe and whatnot.
And what's wrong about being a slug-squid?
>>339548120

Yeah, but it sadly was in 2. Thank goodness 3 wisely chose to retcon that retarded shit.

I guess the Big Bang was out of fucking nowhere too dawg.

>>339547887

Yeah I could dig it. Just need more eyes.
Between this and being freed from the contract into the world you saved from itself, and Bloodborne has two weirdly positive endings for such a grim game.
>>339548769
But you took over the Hunter's Dream in BB. There really isn't a "cycle", just fucking around with reality as the Great Ones get closer to our world.
>>339548462
Hunters gain access to the Hunter's Dream via a contract as well as support of Messengers and ability to explore the chalice dungeons plus Doll herself says that she feels ancient echoes coursing through you because of how much eldritch power you've infused yourself with.
>>339548769
>Cycle
The entire "cycle" probably happened under Moon Presence. A pattern isn't a cycle, and the cycle just revolves around whacking newborn Great Ones anyway.
>>339536301
I was really bummed out when I got to 99 insight and things didn't go to absolute shit.
>>339548442
What if Bloodborne is an alternate timeline where the Deep has completely taken over? Where Aldritch was not defeated?
>>339542638
except the chosen undead is apparently so fucking baller that his essence of the amalgamation vastly overpowers every other being that linked the fire, save gwyn himself.
so its like 65% chosen undead 30% gwyn, 5% other irrelevant linkers of the fire
>>339548120
>Aldritch most likely found the remnants of souls of Nito and Witch somewhere in the Deep
I don't think the Witch's soul even exists anymore. All her daughters are dead, the demons are dying out altogether and all that's left of the Bed of Chaos itself is the Old Demon King.
>>339548946
Yeah there's a lot of lack of payoff like that in Bloodborne.
>Amygdala don't appear in beginning areas
>There's no change to high insight or any benefit, superficial or otherwise, from having it past 15 (since that's where Gherman talks in his sleep, and even then)

I knew the deep sea thing reminded me of something.
>>339549131
To be fair, Gwyn is far older and weaker, and I assumed that SoC implied that there was more than one undead that linked the fire since.
The Bloodborne sequel is real life.
