Is you're body ready?

I... I need to get a PS4 now. This looks like the Souls game I've been waiting for since Dark Souls.

Since this is coming out within the next six months it looks like I'll be getting a PS4 sooner than anticipated.

Me too!

is it known if it will be a exclusive all the way or if it's coming at least to PC at some point?

@onarum: It'll be like Demon's Souls. Exclusive all the way baby. Oh my word it's 'bite the back of your hand' gorgeous.

Oh my god I really want to play this! The hype is real!

well, guess I'll have to get a ps4 after all...

Oh man, that looks so good. So good. My body is ready.

That lady at the end totally sounds like the Maiden in Black.

Oh, lovely. The scythe weapon looks pretty rad.

I am insanely excited for this. I think the last time I was this fucking hype about a game was like Portal 2.

I really like the look of the world. Kinda so much that I'd probably also like to explore it in peace, but I'm also down for causing havoc whilst doing so.

More like since Demon's Souls. Bloodborne screams Tower of Latria and that is pretty much perfect.

Hmm... ya I may have to get a PS4 if it's exclusive to that.

This is a system seller for me.

Im not really into any of this character design but those wolf spiders. It's looks really just like basic fantasy/steampunk monsters fought buy a guy in a weird steampunk cloak.

This is going to be great.

Exclusive...PS4 Exclusive...

Thank you Panda. I have to kick a baby every time I here someone say "Looks like Dark Souls finally gets a real sequel!". Most of the so called "souls" fans still haven't played the real, and much more difficult in the right ways, original Demon's Souls.

And the general air of superiority in souls game fans continues to rub me the wrong way. Game looks legitimately good divorced from that, though!

@stevetheradroach: I think you're crazy.

Glad that I have a PS4.

Welp, that looks pretty great!

Dark Souls was different, but in a lot of ways was a solid successor to Demon's Souls. I still prefer Demon's Souls, but I definitely wouldn't throw Dark Souls 1 under the bus.

Dark Souls 2 was shit though.

I sorta fell off the souls train after Demon Souls but this looks like it'll pull me back in via style alone. I really enjoy the look of the world in Bloodborne.

I love all the Souls games. Super excited for this. Really dig the style of what they are showing so far, I just hope it isn't totally singular. The variety of environments really stood out to me in the previous games. Hopefully they can do it again with a consistent level of quality!

You Demon's Souls elitists make me smile, I liked that game a lot but you'd have to be in complete denile if you cant acknowledge all the things Dark Souls did bettter. There's a reason the series took off with Dark Souls and it's not that it went to PC & 360. (okay that had something to do with it)

Anyway, Bloodborne looks great. And the emphasis on dodging rather than turtling makes me excited.

That cleaver sword of his looks pretty bad ass.

Looks very Castlevania inspired imo, hopefully it has better game mechanics than Dark Souls, I can't play those games to save my life.

How cool would it be if they released an HD version/up-port of Demon's Souls on the disc with this.

That matted fur seems to be a recurring aesthetic theme alongside the beast aspects. It's so well done, it looks amazing. You can almost smell it from here.

And here's some more gameplay folks. 16:46

Such a goddamn tease.

Whenever I see a huge dude with matted fur I just want to climb up them and stab their sigil.

Never said it didn't do some things better. But it isn't the "first" souls game and it did not "start the souls games off". Not everything it did was an improvement either, Demon's Souls is still the easiest of all of them to co op in or do proper organized pvp. Most of the reason Dark Souls 1 took off was advertising hype and games media suddenly deciding to care. Giant Bomb itself wouldn't even cover Demon's Souls and never even did a quick look until well after it had been released. Dark Souls? Premium content was out for it on practically day one and at least two of the staffers made extensive posts and videos about it. Wonder why so many Giant Bomb users didn't care until Dark Souls????

My hype level is out of control! I need more Bloodborne!

@karkarov: I dont think you know how quotation marks work.

After the disappointment of Dark Souls 2, I'm ready to love again.

@karkarov: I'm sorry I wasn't going to comment on your Souls elitism, as you can believe what you want, but parts of your second response are untrue. I can't let that slide.

Giant Bomb itself wouldn't even cover Demon's Souls

Vinny did like it- despite itself. He didn't understand the game very much, though. He talked about it several times on the Bombcast at the time. That was all the coverage they wanted to do as only Vinny cared about it. He even briefly mentioned it during GOTY coverage that year (he didn't want to fight for it, being that he didn't feel he even understood the game well, still, at the time).

and never even did a quick look until well after it had been released.

This is 100% untrue. Vinny completed the game before it was released. Giantbomb did a quick look of Demon's Souls before it was released (helmed by Vinny- video was released on the site Oct 10th 2009, the day after it came out). Vinny has referenced this multiple times indicating this is why he mostly didn't understand the game very well at the time (He says the original quick look is even difficult for himself to watch now- now that he knows what he knows now).

You're opinions of the game are fine, it's your right and all, but I just needed to correct some things you said that are untrue.

Have a nice evening.

Demon's Souls Force assemble! Going multiplatform was absolutely the reason why that series blew up that hard - that and the YouTube boom that blossomed since the release of Demon's. Dark Souls did a few things right, but it also did a-many things wrong. Dark Souls 2 actually did a lot of things to get the game back on track by returning to the roots, but it wasn't a lack of quality that held it back but series attrition.

Bloodborne looks interesting but I hope it's significantly different than their Souls games because personally I've had my fill after 3 very similar games.

@jazz_bcaz: Pretty sure I recognise that ladder climbing sound effect.

I dunno what it was about Demon's Souls, but I could only stand a few hours before I shut it off forever. Dark Souls, on the other hand, kept me engaged right up till the end of the game.

It's kinda concerning hearing from - experts? veterans? - that this new title more closely resembles the former rather than the latter

So I need around six months to beat Demon, Dark and Dark Souls II. Good thing from the footage so far is that the dude doesn't roll with a shield. Implying that, like they've been saying, they do want you to be the aggressor, rather than waiting for an attack to finish and then hitting them on the counter.

And what a lovely handbag.

It's "took off" as in got popular, not "took off" as in got started.

Meh, call me when they announce The Adventures of Cookie & Cream II.

Which one did you play first?

Saying that the game is more like Demon's doesn't mean that they forgot all of the lessons they learned in Dark Souls. It's just a shorthand way of describing things.

Really cause I remember tons of bitching that it wasn't getting coverage, got snubbed completely in all GOTY discussion, and I distinctly remember having already beaten the game before I saw a quick look for it. I don't really care either way because my point still stands and it is the Dark Souls fanboi who don't acknowledge the real first game in the series. It goes way deeper than that either way since Demon's Souls was in fact made to be a modern take on King's Field, and the odds of any Dark Souls player even knowing what the hell King's Field is well... let's just say it isn't very high.

I do find it sort of ironic that a site that has so much Persona fandom due to the Endurance Run also generates comments like this. Yeah I guess Demon's Souls sold like crap compared to Dark Souls. It was still the highest selling game of all time released by Atlus though. Yes, even more than Persona 4 and the fighting games based on Persona. Also I have to be honest, if it hadn't been so successful Namco Bandai would not have touched it. Dark Souls only got made because Atlus took a risk and proved how profitable Demon's Souls could be.

Are people actually excited for this game. IT looks really lame to me and if it plays like demons souls then its gonna be even worse than it looks.

This might be a system seller for me thought I was already sold on the PS4 before this.

I haven't played dark souls 2 at all but i think i might just skip it and play this game first.

Really excited to have a new game to play on my ps4

For some reason it isn't hyping me as much as you guys, but I'm still plenty hyped. That gameplay teaser has everyone's favorite footstep and ladder-climbing sounds, too. To be honest, though, I hope they change that. One of my least-liked things about the Souls series is the way they re-use sound samples, sometimes trying to mask it by upping or lowering the tempo. Maybe it's intentional, for fan-service or something, but I still prefer fresh sounds. Some of them are actually leftovers from the King's Field series.
