I'm not sure if anybody has said anything about this yet, but I was just thinking, with the game not having the"souls" part in its name, what if we no longer get souls? What if instead of collecting souls, after killing enemies we collect their BLOOD.

"They are replacing magic with gadgets, guns and such. Main mechanic seems to be related to blood and blood is also used to regain your HP and gain various other benefits."
"You get blood sucking it from corpses or items. Sucking too much blood will turn you into a beast which I suppose is this game’s Soul/Hollow form. The game will apparently become a lot harder to play/control when in beast mode. To become a human again you need human blood and is where the online component comes into play,"

Basically: 1. Death to possibly be less punishing than the previous Souls games, though still a factor 2. Large continuous integrated map akin to Dark Souls 1 3. A variety of weapons and armor will be available 4. If the translation is right, there may not be two-handed weapons. Weapons may be slotted as "left" or "right" handed weapons, rather than the more open approach of other games in the series.

These were both from the Bloodborne Reddit.

Yeah, I think that's pretty much the idea. This is the biological version of a lot of souls concepts, from what it seems like.

This is mentioned in the Kotaku write up. Loot is in.



What are you talking about? Every dev makes it a priority to have a steady framerate. Whether that pans out or not isnt indicative of whether or not they prioritized it?
Click to expand...

Yeah... From might want to prioritize it even more. The Souls games kind of run like shit on consoles.

Interesting, so they went with blood instead of souls.

I think this was posted the other day? Anyways, still great to hear. Although it doesn't make sense that the leaker of the webm's said he saw a great magic sword, and a pyromancy fireball? Wonder if those are still in?

Oh yeah, I wonder if the rumor about the leaked footage being pulled from TGS was because they were reworking certain aspects and removing magic.

I wouldnt be surprised if theyre not. Those leaks were apparently very old builds of the game and according to a few who have seen it the game looks much better/different.

Id be willing to bet the pyromancy he saw was a hold over from the souls games they havent yet removed. I could be completely wrong though haha

I hope there is variety to the weapon animations.

I'll never understand why they made 15 palette swaps with the same underlying movesets.

That's... terrible.

This so much. It frustrated me to no end that most of the greatswords were the same thing with different damage outputs.

That's true. Wouldn't be surprised if the "Project Beast" webm's were alpha.
 
So instead of regaining humanity by helping other players, you turn into a vicious beast that hunts them down online.

I guess that's pretty goddamn fucking awesome.
 
This whole beast form being harder to control thing is a bit worrying to me. I'm fine with losing health as a death penalty, like in Demon's and Dark 2, but I really don't like variable character responsiveness (why I hate adaptability in DS2).

Thanks for the insights to the both of you! As we all know, DeSo and DaSo have their own fanbases, and its often debated which one is the better souls universe, but this right here is the reason why i herald the former title. DeSo, while less refined, offers a far better story for the player to unfold, and when the game was released in all its glorious silence, puzzling the pieces together was ultimately the strongest aspect of the game for me, and its this part of DeSo, that i hope will carry over to Bloodborne,

Reading these insights i can feel the same bewonderment i felt when trekking through the Demon's souls for the first time! Thank you.

For the folks who wish to read more about the lore and world-building mechanics of DeSo i highly recommend the following wrtite-up.

Oh so you're saying there is hope yessss... I hope it's not going as a dark souls beginner it's on of the things I enjoy along with pyromancy.

I will join the hype train for possible gameplay :D

The nonsense would've been far more forgivable if he had let it drop. But trying to retcon and say he was right all along and he is owed an apology? Nah...all of us who actually read his posts remember gems like him saying "This is not a souls game & does NOT play like one."

Yeah, it might not play like a "sword and board" build of Souls, but it sounds like it plays a helluva lot like a shieldless, dual-wield Souls build.

The stamina confirmation is just the last in a series of confirmations that this is far from a DMC-like action game.
