Snipers with super-fast hard-to-dodge bullets that break your equipment. They are out of range of any of your ranged options.

The entire world is flooded with the plague swamp from 5-3, they're bringing back world/character tendency, multiplayer will be completely stripped from the game and Havel's set is not only somehow in the game but the only armor set available. Also something something gently caress guns this isn't ---- Souls anymore.

I kinda don't like the name but also who cares.

Not sure why people are acting like Bloodborne is going to be just like Dark Souls 2 from that trailer. I mean, the trailer didn't show any gameplay. All the trailer showed was that the tone of the game is going to be the standard dark fantasy From is so fond of. Only this time its early industrial and the dogs are somehow even skinnier.

Did you miss the gun? Because from what little we've seen of Bloodborne is "Even more gothic Demon's Souls but with a shotgun."

I thought he might have been pointing the blade-thing at that zombie like it was a gun, but I wasn't sure.

To be fair, the gun wasn't very prominent in the CGI trailer, it was much more obvious in the leak.

Also, I hope you enjoy Souls gameplay a lot, because chances are, when the DLC is done, the Tanimura team is going to start on Dark Souls III for Namco.

I would be fine with the gameplay remaining constant, I just kind of wish they changed up the style a little, I guess.

EDIT: Then again I never even made it through Undead Burg in DS1 so what the gently caress do I know.

Two simultaneous From IPs with Souls-style gameplay :pray:

Only thing that would make it better would be if a third team made a new King's Field style game.

The style is the constant, not the gameplay. Look back at King's Field or that Shadow Labyrinth game, the feel is exactly the same but the gameplay was way different. They were first person for starters.

Isn't Sony responsible for PC games like Planetside 2 though or am I thinking of something else? Probably no xbox version but a PC version could be possible later if so.

I don't know why people are saying this, Bloodborne makes me think Victorian era England/France with it's aesthetics. Couldn't be more of a departure from Dark Souls in that regard.

They are, but you're kidding yourself if you think they care about PC for this game. They want you to buy a PS4; this will do that.

That's Sony Online Entertainment and they pretty much just do MMO stuff. They just can't avoid PC :v:

When they say that FromSoft has been making the same game for generations they're not talking about the Souls games they're probably talking about Armored Core. FromSoft definitely falls into the "let's make the same game a million times" trap pretty hard.

Have you not seen the leaked footage that has actual gameplay? Because the movement is 100% D--- Souls, they even have the fog doors. Hell, that dog enemy is in both Dark Souls games. The trailer has the same feel of this series as well, you don't have to be exactly the same to be similar.

Welp, I backed up my save, reinstalled to try and fix these skyboxes....and it can't read the save, and if I close the game it crashes with a runtime error. Great. Let's hope reinstalling one more time, starting a new game, then copying over that works, or I guess I'm hosed. At least I beat NG+ first though I can't co-op with my brother anymore.

Oh absolutely, the gameplay looks exactly like the other games. I'm talking about the art direction, which looks very different. The dog is indeed the same dog though. Guess they like it?

So I finally beat my first game. Went for a sorcerer build, was a bit tough at first but then I started getting good sorceries and staves (and learned how to dodge) and suddenly things started dying after I looked at them funny. The final boss especially was like "uhhh... that was it?"

Tempted to respec to a dual-wield build or something before I go newgame+. Is NG+ hard enough to keep my sorceror build interesting?
