Jesus.

This and Zelda WiiU are just too much for me. I feel excited about gaming.

 

[Steroyd]

Defensive play gets punished.

Oh man if there are any spiders in this game I am FUCKED!!

 

[Yoshichan]

Can't wait for that patented Yoshi rage after he gets repeatedly mauled by werewolves.

I want this game now now now now now now NOW so I can prove myself worthy to thy Souls Gods!

[Cyrano]

More peeps in here need to start doing shieldless runthroughs. Get good my friends. Oh and, appreciate the power of two handed weapons. Because they're stupid.

talk about hyping a game for gaf.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

I really hope Shunsuke Kida is doing the music.

Loved his score for Demon's Souls.

 

[Darksol]

I want it so god damned bad.

 

[Hattori]

Release the leaked gameplay footage already please!

 

[phoenix296]

Any video yet? I don't want to read impressions, I want to make my own impressions.

 

[Paches]

This could literally be the best game ever devised by mankind.

 

[TheTwelve]

The more I hear about this game, the more I'm changing my mind about Nintendo winning E3. I think I'll go and pre-order this right now.

 

[Gorillaz]

Agreed breh

Motoi Sakuraba is my boy. Valkyrie Profile is brilliant and so is Dark Souls.

Gameplay impressions:
http://youtu.be/KJtzLXg9AB0

Got see a 30-minute gameplay demo.

I need this in my life.

 

[Soriku]

Gotta play more aggressively? Seems like my type of game.

 

[Phlebas]

Day 1.

Sounds amazing, hope to see some gameplay soon.

 

[UrbanRats]

My guess is, given the modifiable weapons, maybe you can't 2hand anymore and triangle will change the weapon's mode. Like extend that cleaver.

 

[Majmun]

I never use shields in the Souls games. I'm more of a strafe & dodge type of player,

I really need to see gameplay, Getting a feeling that I'm going to love this game so much.

 

[Wynnebeck]

Those of you who know me, know I am not a big fan of this genre and really could only stand Demon's Souls. This game....it just might make me go back on my words (if it doesn't fall into the same pitfalls Dark Souls did).

 

[Yoshichan]

I really hope Shunsuke Kida is doing the music.

Loved his score for Demon's Souls.

when i hear the music of demon's souls - it's like i transform into something i'm not aware of. it's like, i know i usually hype things up and shit but whenever someone links me a clip of demon's souls - or a bit of music, i can feel the hair of my body rising. and it's always the same extreme feeling. my eye pupils get bigger (i checked, trust me), my muscles get stronger, probably because of the adrenaline. testosterone or some shit. and shit just gets crazy, i feel like whirlwinding with my bare fists - jumping on tables and breaking stuff with my head. it's a crazy feeling and i love it. that feeling is just unbelievably good, anyone else get the similar feeling when listening to demon's souls?

 

[TheJollyCorner]

Motoi Sakuraba is my boy. Valkyrie Profile is brilliant and so is Dark Souls.

I love Motoi's work, but didn't he leave From after DS2 and went to another company?


I guess it's possible he either:
-worked on Bloodborne and finished the score before leaving From, or
-worked on Bloodborne as an 'independent'

 

[Demon Lizardman]

When will we see gameplay?

Yeah, not sure! Not gonna complain if it's Kida. Just, preferences.

 

[AlphaDump]

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.

interesting way of putting it, and I never realized that is exactly how I played Dark Souls.

cannot wait

I usually just get an erection

 

[Kaako]

The video impression was awesome by that PSU dude. The more aggressive approach is right up my alley! I'll go to town and wreck shit in my path with my switch blade.

 

[Hedge]

Interesting, but I don't know about the faster paced combat. I can't imagine Souls levels of strategy in a faster paced combat scenario.

 

[Goodacre0081]

When will we see gameplay?

did you miss the leaked webm a few weeks ago?

 

[Maddocks]

I need this game like right now.

• 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
  

Sooo many ambushing opportunities.
Can't wait to see how that is going to change multiplayer dynamics .

 

[Maleficence]

Graphics don't look amazing but FROM aren't exactly known as graphical powerhouses.

The game itself I can't wait for, looks awesome.

 

[kawa46]

When will we see gameplay?

i think we can see gameplay at Tokyo Game Show

 

[Cyrano]

People want more than that. Like... they want 30 minutes of that.

But from the souls you acquire from fallen enemies to the sound it makes when you do so, from the weight on each swing of a blade to the fog gates, this is the game you know and love.

YEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!

Hype is at absolute god damn MAXIMUM!

 

[Yoshichan]

DkS2 had the best weight in the weapon-hits out of all games imo! Slow and responsive, like the real fucking deal!

He was an actual employee at From Software? I always thought he was independent.

 

[Facism]

the hype is engulfing me like the fire of the first flame.

Sakuraba is freelance. Jolly's confusing him for Yuji Takenouchi who did sound design for Souls:

Interesting, when the game was first described to me it was: RE4 + DS + CASTLEVANIA

Oh you wait.

Did you pee a little when you heard that?

 

[JawzPause]

Let this remove any doubt that this was an exclusive. There was so much denial in the Kotaku comments section

I actually just went on the kotaku article to read all the people straight up denying that it is a ps4 exclusive even when provided the evidence that Sony are publishing it. Ridiculous.
