Support NeoGAF

[Tactica]

There is an Unboxing of the Bloodborne Press Kit on YouTube. I don't know what has been revealed so far, but the included artbook has some cool art, enemies/nightmares and characters to spoil yourself on.

I'm trying to figure out what kind of build I want to make.

Might just do the standard 40/40 STR/SKL quality build so I can equip pretty much any weapon.

I'm not sure if I should completely neglect bloodtinge and arcane though.

I think I'm gonna focus on Skill and Bloodtinge. I've always made a DEX build in the past and I wanna see what the guns are capable of.

 

[Sanctuary]

There are only a few releases with this much deserved hype every five years.

FTFY

FROM seems to hate bow based builds in the Souls games, and I'm not sure this is going to be an exception. If anything, it seems like the guns will be able to have their damage increased relatively high, but they still won't be rapid fire and you won't have a surplus of bullets. Unless whatever ability it is that allows you to convert blood to bullets can be done quickly, as well as have the conversion ratio adjusted in some way. Just seems like you'd be carrying around a cannon with limited uses otherwise.

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

can you please at least tell us if the patch fixes the atrocious load times? thanks.

are loading times really bad? im regretting a bit switching to an HDD from my SSD for more storage if its that bad

they vary from tolerable to "time to make a sandwich."

 

[Finalow]

finally bought the game on the US store but it doesn't show up in the list of games on my main account. is it because I haven't installed it yet?

It should show up in your Library.

Make sure your US account is primary on that console.

 

[lastwolf82]

Probably dumb questions but does this game have different Difficulty settings or just 1?

Also is there loot that drops to change up your gear as you level up?

I have it preordered already just wanted to know a few things.

There's no difficulty settings. In Dark Souls 2 you could voluntarily make the game harder, but I don't know if that's in Bloodborne. As for drops, there are multiple weapons and sets of armor, but it's not a loot game by any means. From what we've heard I think most gear is purchased from merchants

My secondary weapon has a always been a bow and it was extremely useful for sniping, drawing attention, and cheeskng stuff. Not sure how good the guns would be for that though.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

hahaha I can't believe a spoiler thread has reached 60 pages.....before the game has even released.

 

[Vire]

hahaha I can't believe a spoiler thread has reached 60 pages.....before the game has even released.

The crazy thing to me is that we are on page 60 and not that much has been actually spoiled.

I've yet to see anything outside the first two areas of the game..

 

[Mutombo]

Spoiler thread is pretty much spoiler free too. I think everyone just likes venting their hype.

 

[Yoshichan]

If this was pre-nerf GAF, we'd have the |OT| ready to go by now I miss the hype in those threads.

 

[Orochinagis]

Honestly the only thing that bothers me about the warp thing is having to go back to the refugee every time I need to level up.

It's just a waste of time and it doesnt add anything in an interconnected map IMO, especially if the loadings are that long. I'll rather be able to level up in every lantern, ala DS1.

Yup,it was bad move in DS2 and breaks the inmersion of the game since it would destroy the tension and always be safe

Ugh, that is probably the only negative of the game design ao far. It wasn't so bad on DS2 PC with 3 sec loads, but if we are talking 20 sec or more, this will quickly become a nuisance.

Wonder how much an SSD improves loading on PS4.

 

[Grady]

Depends on how frequent the lanterns are. If they are few and far between it wont feel as safe.

 

[Primethius]

All indications point to it being more like Demon Souls with very few lanterns strewn throughout the levels. The emphasis is more on shortcuts.

 

[Con_Smith]

Anyone receive the guide book yet? Enough about the game spoilers I want some of that sweet guide information. (I've only gotten a guide for two games, one for Majoras Mask 64 with the game and the other free for Bioshock: Infinite for some Gamestop promotion.)

If only it was shipping to me now it would hold me over until next week. Hell I'm still debating taking next Tuesday off...

 

[Sanctuary]

Was a name decided for it yet? Too late for suggestions I'm sure, but:
Bloodborne |OT| Sunglasses At Night

 

[Mutombo]

Sunglasss at night is a good one. But I think there has already been a poll.

SO, magic in Bloodborne? Is it nil or a thing?

 

[Cyborg]

For the guys that already play it. How are the graphics?

 

[BearPawB]

Seemingly nil.
There is an arcane stat, but that seems related to elemental damage

 

[Akainu]

I hope thats not real I hate that shit.

Taken from the Tokyo Event this week:

This is fine.

 

[Finalow]

I did that when I created the account. I'm not sure if I have to do it a second time from the settings but I guess I'll try.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Anyone have a link to good alpha footage?

 

[Ellite25]

Same here. As much as I would have liked to have watched longer streams I'm partly glad they've been shut down so late game stuff hasn't been spoiled.

 

[BearPawB]

This is the one someone linked me, it was pretty good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AC3w3moXwAQ

[Derpyduck]

There's a guy on Twitch running an endless stream of his captured alpha footage.

 

[Finalow]

I need a stream, why isn't anyone streaming.

Seemingly nil.

there is magic, just not as much as or as relevant as the other souls games, from what I've read. probably just some sort of support magic.

Yoshichan post if youre ok

 

[BearPawB]

#1 things i want to know:
Loadtimes/load screens

 

[Krusenstern]

The patch is live and it's 2.69 GB

Please; someone who has the game and downloaded the patch answer us peasants the following:

• Is there a complete changelog?
• How much does it improve the framerate?
• Did it add any anti-aliasing? Did it get better?
• Have they changed something else?

 

[HORRORSHØW]

lmao. this is the only real concern.

YUUUUSSS, patch is out!

Was AA and framerate still an issue? Every stream I've seen looked fine and the latest HQ videos had very good IQ

 

[Derpyduck]

Everything I heard indicated AA and framerate were already fine. Only real complaint I've heard (and seen for myself) are load times.

 

[Krusenstern]

Was AA and framerate still an issue? Every stream I've seen looked fine and the latest HQ videos had very good IQ

I'm not sure how to judge it properly by streams that are usually blurry and of low quality. Better than the IGN First videos? The aliasing in them was horrible and severely distracting.

Everything I heard indicated AA and framerate were already fine. Only real complaint I've heard (and seen for myself) are load times.

I watched that 45 minute video someone linked a couple days ago and while the framerate wasn't distracting it was still noticably.

HECK, From even said that the day one patch should improve the fps. Now I want to know by how much!

 

[Anuson.Phan]

The wait is killing me.

 

[Afrodium]

Load screens are the only thing I care about. Well, better load times are always nice but if there's item descriptions then at least I'll have something to read.

 

[bananafactory]

Yeah we've seen lots of footage since those IGN First videos and the AA is already massively improved. Those were from a super old build

 

[The Xtortionist]

That was an old build. Molotovs were still called firebombs.

Edit - beat :l

More information leak.

Won't copypaste it all due to the how much there is. This is a nice consolidated thread currently of all the information rmchiva925 has posted.
