Bloodborne gameplay : The first 18 minutes
- Thread starter shinobi602
- Start date
Oops sorry my bad then. I am pretty sure I read in a preview that magic is not there along with shields. I am surely mistaken then.

How much would i be spoiling myself if I watched this?
After watching the video, all i can say is that i really need to go back and finish Dark Souls. I want this game so bad, but i don't want to start without finishing DS first ('cause i know that will never go back then lol)
Edit. I, for one, love the fact that the HUB is back. One of my favorite things in DeS
Fun, challenge, the feeling of reward/achievement after a hard boss, etc. Lots of stuff in fact.

Looks great! Can't wait to lose myself in this world.
Given that it looks like there might be some connection to Demon's Souls, maybe magic is an old, "lost" skill that you can use under some circumstances.
Repeating my self from earlier in the thread . It is not that spoilery at all. It just shows the hub but no new enemies, weapons etc.. It is surprisingly a very well done video to showcase what the game is about without spoiling anything. Go for it.
I would say it's fairly safe to watch, as a big part of the video the play is in the area that was in the Alpha. Granted, it's slightly different, but still.
I did skip the beginning scenes just so those won't be spoiled. But gameplay looks fun. This game seems to carry the haunting aura that Demon's and Dark 1 had, but probably to a higher degree.

That still might be the case. The stat just throws a bit of confusion into the mix. hopefully we're getting an indepth breakdown of these stats sometime some
Apart from the intro (5 first minutes) and the hub area, the rest is pretty much the alpha area but with some new stuff here and there
(some new streets, NPCs...)

Almost nothing.
Most of the content of this video was somehow shown in the trailers already, and is a very small parcel of the game. Also, they do not show the character creation.
Its good to see more about the gameplay and the mechanics, and about the gaming atmosphere over the first level.

Awesome level design? Stat-based RPGs combined with legitimately good combat mechanics? Phenomenal art design? Awesome soundtrack? Great exploration?
If you haven't played the Souls games, then I think it would hard to be interested, because you don't have a context for what is actually happening with the levels. Interesting loot, branching paths, challenging boss fights... none of which shows is in simple ten minute sample videos.

Watched it. Very nice.
My only complaint is the horrendous aliasing. It looks like the game doesn't use any AA at all. Really distracting.
Also, it looks like the game will have day/night cycles it seems.

Don't be disheartened. Most people that put hundreds of hours are not relevant to you. It's a pretty difficult boss for the first time. Keep playing if you find it interesting. It gets better and better.

Fans of Demon's/Dark Souls are excited for a spiritual successor. It's got tight combat, rich lore and great looking environments.
What doesn't sound appealing from that description and this video? Are you not familiar with the Souls games?
If you havent played dark or demon souls its hard to explain. I was kind of tepid on Blodborne until I played Dark Souls, andnow im considering picking up a ps4 just for Bb

If it's anything like the Souls games: an immersive atmosphere, intricate level design to get lost in, fun and challenging gameplay with no hand-holding, tons of secrets to find, deep lore to unravel, interesting and frightening NPC/monster/boss designs, fun as hell co-op and PvP, and hundreds of hours of replayability. So basically everything about it.

A stunning, challenging, unique and well designed game? Or is that not enough?

Aliasing looks pretty bad in the beginning. Hopefully its just an old build and they've reduced it a tad. I wouldn't mind it too much. The only things I really hope for is that the FPS is pretty consistent.
GOTG came early.
GOTG came early.
Sinner's rise is not a level, the level is the Bastille. And the Bastille is full of secrets, shortcuts.
I agree that the various areas are disconnected and that's what i don't like but the levels are very good and there ios plenrty of exploration.
A corridor game is FFXIII, surely not DSII
About this gameplay video, it looks amazing. But i am not saying GOTY yet as many already did, i have to play it.
Yeah, its present in the city too. Wouldn't mind f they tone it down.
Fun. It's a game. It's fun to play. Remember fun?

Almost everything you want in a game.
Exceptional track record (D. Souls gameplay; From Software in development)
Amazing atmosphere.
Top notch gameplay: It inherits one of the best action RPGs combat mechanics, with some tweaks that will possibly make it even better.
Fenomenal art direction.
Thats enough for me! =)

Love seeing all of the "no way am I watching this" responses. I'm firmly in that camp.
End of March is too far away!

Caved and watched bit of the video just to get an idea for graphics, art, and feel of the game. My pants are so tight, im going to need a titanium reinforced zipper...
But holy crap, those jaggies. As pretty as the game is, that is really detracting. I didn't think it was going to be that bad from the comments. But, its an early build, or possibly IGNs capturing, or both, so Im not worried, yet.

A game that's challenging, drenched in dark fantasy atmosphere, and that encourages the player to explore and experiment? Mostly the same things people saw in Demon's Souls and Dark Souls. It's obviously not everyone's cup of tea/blood but I don't think it's *that* hard to imagine why some are excited.

It didn't really bother me in the build I played at PAX. I mean, there were certainly jaggies, but it didn't seem terrible or anything. I was playing pretty close to the screen, too.
