Hesitation is defeat.
I am thinking it is all private viewings for the press. So far I know Kotaku and Fextralife are both getting an hour.
But I am looking for any other signs that they might let us plebs take a peek.

I'm kinda hoping that the dude took the dog corpse to augment special dog powers to his body. I'd love a souls type game where you could switch out your own parts and have an array of abilities to get past a barrier.

Like you turn into a wererhino and charge past a bunch of dudes giving no fucks but you have to remember to at least give one gently caress or the giant spider that's hiding in the cavern is gonna pop up at the end and eat you.


also weretyrannosaurusrex is DLC

We know that PlayStation fans have a ton of questions — I sure do! We hope to have some answers for you later this week as more of the game is shown, so stay tuned to PlayStation Blog.

Hesitation is defeat.
2/4chan translations of Famitsu stuff (consider this about as valid as the reddit rumor):

quote:

>・基本的にはソウルシリーズの外伝、パラレルワールド的な世界の話だと思っていい
Game is basically a side story to the Souls series. Think of it as a parallel world
>・銃や弓、ボウガンなどの遠距離攻撃にも日を当てたい、もちろん剣やハンマーの類も登場する
Guns, bows, bowguns, and all sorts of other long range weapons will be in the game, and of course close ranged weapons like hammers and swords.
>・ソウルシリーズはハイファンタジーの世界だったが、今作はロウファンタジーを基盤にしている
Souls series was a world of high fantasy. This game is a setting of low fantasy
>・ソウルシリーズで好評だった白協力や侵入は続投、しかし全く異なるプレイ感覚となる
The white phantom co-op and invasions that the souls series is known for is thrown away, however there will be a completely different play sensation (with the new online system they are implementing)

>>・ソウルシリーズで好評だった白協力や侵入は続投、しかし全く異なるプレイ感覚となる
>The white phantom co-op and invasions that the souls series is known for is thrown away, however there will be a completely different play sensation (with the new online system they are implementing)

But that's wrong. It's saying that the coop and invasions are still there.

quote:

>>247524858
Yeah you are completely right, I misread the 続投 completely. Thanks for correcting. I should probably go to sleep

Some other really interesting stuff if you want to translate.
>・基本的には銃がメインウェポンとなるが、モノによっては扱いずらいものが多いため「いかに近接武器で牽制し、銃弾を放つか」が重要になる
>・ただ近接武器もメインウェポンとなりうる性能を持つものもある
>・リアル感を向上させるために、魔法などのファンタジー要素は極力薄くした。しかしそれに代わる小型兵器を多く登場させる
(投げると光を放つ閃光弾や、軽く爆発して四方にダメージを与える炸裂弾などを考えている)
>・主人公は血を求め各地を彷徨うので、HPが減る=血を多く流すと能力が落ちたりアクションが変化したりする
>・アイテムや死体からの吸血でHP回復など様々な効果を得られるが、吸いすぎるとやがて獣化し、アクションが大きく変化する。しかし基本的には人間時よりも扱いづらく、この状態が実質ハードモード的な扱いになるかもしれない
>・獣化を元に戻すためには人間の血液が必要となる。ここらへんがオンライン要素の要になるが、今は詳しく言えない

This basically talks about weapons and the blood mechanics. In short:
>your abilities will go down if you lose a lot of blood
>you can recover HP by sucking blood (from items or corpses)
>however sucking too much blood turns you into a beast
>when you became a beast the way you play changes, however playing becomes a lot harder and you could even call it hard mode
>to return back to human you will need human blood, and this is where the online component comes into play

interesting stuff. Basically beast mode is now hollow/soul form

Looking forward to a large nose shaped helm item.

edit: I like the sound of that healing change, having actual use of healing items affect your status like that seems like a nice progression from what they've been working through on the Souls series.

As well as it sounding like becoming human again requires you to do/is easier/more plentiful in pvp.

That whole blood system reminds me of Shadow Tower Abyss's durability system, where you can sacrifice HP to repair items, or break down items to restore HP, as well as selling them to buy potions and poo poo. Love that kind of stuff.

The Legend
New Playstation Blog entry about Bloodborne

quote:

Bloodborne takes place in an ancient, forgotten city called Yharnam, known for an old medical remedy. Over the years, many hopeless and afflicted people have made long pilgrimages to Yharnam in search of help. As the main character, you are one of these travelers. However, you find that Yharnam is also cursed with a horrible endemic illness. You must navigate the perilous streets of this city, fighting off nightmarish creatures, malformed beasts and deranged mobs stricken with this horrific illness. Face your fears as you discover the secrets and mysteries of this dark and horrific world where danger, death and madness lurk around every corner.

In Bloodborne, the combat is based on intense life-threatening battles. One of the ways we are bringing that sense of danger to life is by keeping the deep strategic elements from Demon’s Souls, while also transitioning from the passive and block-and-attack style of Demon’s Souls to a quicker, more offensive and active combat style with close-range weapons and guns.

From the beautiful and melancholic architecture to the debris lining the street, Bloodborne will deliver an extremely rich and detailed world, all thanks to the power of the PlayStation 4 system. In addition, the PS4 system has allowed us to have an expanded draw distance, so we can show more of the world at any one time. New lighting effects allow us to add more atmosphere and tension to the game, making the horrifyingly detailed beasts and giant boss enemies you’ll be facing even more frightening.

I hope to be able to share more about our online features later this year, but I can say that we are developing new kinds of online experiences that allow users to share their adventures. We also look forward to giving fans new ways of playing and sharing thanks via the PS4 system’s Share capabilities.

Special message from Director Hidetaka Miyazaki:
“Creating Bloodborne as a completely new game on the new PlayStation 4 hardware has allowed us to really push the envelope in myriad ways. That being said, in more ways than one, it also very much retains our distinct, signature style. As has been at the core of our development philosophy since Demon’s Souls, we make true games for people who love games. Please watch for more to come on Bloodborne, and thank you very much for your support.”
