WHY do you have to play more aggressive in this game? Because you get "overwhelmed"?

He says it's because combat encounters are designed such that if you are defensive, it just gets worse for you because more enemies will creep up from the corners and the shadows from around you. Sounds like progressing is a matter of killing enemies before you're outnumbered, so you can't just keep blocking. Players who don't use a shield in Souls would probably feel right at home. #YOLO

Gameplay impressions:

Got see a 30-minute gameplay demo.

Really great impressions, thanks for sharing!

Guns as a short-range crowd control weapon. Transformable melee weapons that can go from shield-breaking to damage-dealing. Sounds like the same old great deliberation and tactical play we liked from Souls mixed in with more of an emphasis on mobility and active offense.

The dream, basically. All of you Havel turtles will rue the day you decided to focus on that particular strategy. :P

  • Demo is 30 mins long
  • Bloodborne is more aggressive than Demon's Souls
  • The city is called 'Biarnhem' ?
  • City is very densely layered. 'More complex than Thief'
  • Combat is much more aggressive
  • They dual wielded in the demo: Firearm and what they call a 'Sawcleaver' one in each hand.
  • Firearms are a close-range weapon, to stun enemies, create counter-attack opportunities.
  • Sawcleaver was transformable, and many weapons will be.
  • 'You cannot play this the same way as Demon's Souls' - Have to be more aggressive
  • Targetting the same level of difficulty as Demon's Souls.

Being a Miyazaki game, I can just tell this game is going to be amazing with the Live from PlayStation service.
It's amazing how much enjoyment I get out of watching people's blind Demon's/Dark Souls runs.

This will probably the first game I live-stream.

.....I just completely forgot about this feature.

Fuck that. I'll just stand in a corner and wait for my opportunity to strike while holding up my massive 100% physical reduction shield!

Everything sounds amazing. Everything.

This E3 delivered to me, I'm sorry. Between Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony's show, I have so much gaming goodness I don't know how I can divide my time.

I've waited so long to ask this...

Hold me, Amir0x?!

HOLD ME, PLEASE?!
 
I am a heavy shield+spear type of player. :(

Suppose I have to change my playstyle. Oh well... can't fucking wait for this game!!!!

"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."

My preferred play-style in the Souls games was and is aggressive, no-shield play, so this is pretty much music to my ears.

Yup, 2handing weapons all day every day.
 
So I know this is probably a placeholder but on the PS store it shows up as 3/31/2015 with a preload date of 3/26/2015, so is that the latest we should expect the game? Nothing else without a hard street date shows anything but "Pre-Load Supported" and a general timeframe of release like "August 2014" or "coming soon"
 
I am really not sure where people are getting the DMC vibe from this.

This is not a knock against the game, this game looks astounding to me (from the leaked game play footage and these impressions) but a DMC game this is not.

For it to be a DMC game it needs the following which are iconic to that franchise:

*Juggle based combat with focus on aerial combat
*High mobility, fast paced combat
*No blocking whatsoever, you only have a parry and that's it
*Prioritization of style over efficiency
*No lag time in moves, free canceling, no stamina bar etc (the complete opposite of the Soul games)

I guess people see guns + melee and "aggressive" combat then automatically assume it's a DMC style game.

Densely-layered, complex environment? Oh yes. Yes. Oh yes.

I'm now going to purchase a PS4 to play this game in the Spring.

I agree. Next year is nuts. And I'm still trying to process this falls lineup. I thought I wanted little but it's all changed.

One other thing I like is it's got a lot of souls aspects but they're not just making demon souls 2. It looks like it's got its own unique style and approach.
 
Bloodborne is Dark Souls meets Resident Evil 4

In a lot of ways, Bloodborn reminded me of Resident Evil 4 crossed with Miyazaki's famed hits. Yhaarnam's inhabitants - and their behaviour - have a similar vibe to Resi 4's Ganados: their attire is formal, they have a penchant for wielding torches, and their ranks are closed. Rage is all-encompassing, and they love jumping out and ambushing players.The general look of the game has hints of Mikami's masterpiece, and that is no bad thing. There's even an ogre to fight.

Not everyone you meet is hostile, however. NPCs can be helped, which may come back to help you in the long run.

So far, so good. Bloodborne has the heart of classics past and an interesting new setting, as well as the different yet familiar aesthetic it brings. It's early days, but this is one to keep an eye on.

Sounds really good so far. Interested in the blood / beast mechanic that someone mentioned earlier.
 
Never played a souls game. This seems more my speed especially if it is more action based and less role strike role around your opponent than what I've seen from the souls games. I'm intrigued.

I doubt anyone would make it past the first enemy encounter if they played this like DMC. I agree, I'm not sure where the DMC comments came from. From everything I've heard, they're nothing alike.

Prepare to get Indiana Jones'd.

edit: I genuinely hope this is nothing like Resident Evil 4 or Devil May Cry.
 
I was just fooled by the Metroid Prime shit in the other thread...

My heart... couldn't handle Metroid Prime + this game so I fell of my chair and hurt my elbow ._. it hurts a lot
