"Let's make the Bosses even bigger"

 

[abaldwin360]

Looks like Dark Souls with Bloodborne art style and speed. I am hyped beyond belief.

 

[Screaming Meat]

That's a lot faster. Me likey.

 

[unround]

Thank goodness that superior Dark Souls 1 rolls and backstaps are returning.

 

[Neiteio]

LOOK AT THIS SEXY MOTHERFUCKER

Can you gif the bit with the fat knight? There's a closeup of him standing upright, and then scenes of him scurrying around on all fours.

Also, someone please gif the GIANT SKULL emerging from the darkness.

 

[borborygmus]

This is BloodSouls II.5. It's looking great, but I have to say I'd like to keep Dark Souls as separate from Bloodborne as possible because I enjoy the different tones of each series.

 

[strafer]

I can't believe this 'based' shit took off in any way, shape or form

I mean wtf

It gets more offputting and annoying the more I read it

Spoiler

inb4 'based SomTervo'

Yes, it disgusts me beyond belief.

One director doesn't automatically make a game good. There is so much of that crap going on. I'm so fucking sick of it.

FUCK!

 

[GravityMan]

Yep. I'm sold.

 

[Fancy Clown]

art direction honestly looks like it could top Bloodborne

 

[Litri]

I don't know but I fear this will be too similar to Bloodborne... not that it will detract me from playing it though but it's not good.

 

[GreyOcelot]

oh my sweet goodness

 

[Ghost Slayer]

Is it on Bloodborne engine

I think all Souls game (include BB) used one engine (and it sucks, god dammit Kadokawa, you bought From but can't spend money to develop or license new engine?)

 

[Carlius]

lets wait for that downgrade?

 

[Ferr986]

This is BloodSouls II.5. It's looking great, but I have to say I'd like to keep Dark Souls as separate from Bloodborne as possible because I enjoy the different tones of each series.

It looks Souls-ish to me. The similarities comes from the same engine I guess (lighting looking the same, etc).

I mean, some BB areas were straight Souls, like Cainhurst.

 

[Neiteio]

art direction honestly looks like it could top Bloodborne

I'm digging the "everything was armor and sunsets" look so far. The bosses look like they could be thematically linked, like the Knights of the Badass Table or something.

 

[AmyS]

Next gen only right?

Well, yeah, meaning current-gen consoles (PS4, Xbox One) and PC.

Xbox 360 and PS3 being last-gen now, and won't be getting DSIII.

 

[DamagedInc]

Looks good to me, i'll have just about recovered from BB and DS2 by next year.

 

[levyjl1988]

That's gonna be amazing!!!

 

[Neiteio]

GAF I HATE YOU WHY HAVE YOU NOT GIFFED THE GIANT SKULL AND FAT KNIGHT

 

[BumRush]

DS with bloodborne vibes...um, yes, thank you

 

[RK9039]

60fps on PC?

 

[Deleted member 30609]

Those bosses =O

 

[Sayad]

Do we know if the PC version will be available day 1?

 

[double jump]

yep, the real darkborne starts here

 

[OverturePT]

Yes, give it to me!

 

[Icyflamez96]

I beat all of the chalice dungeons in Bloodborne this past week, and I'm now starting NG+, so I certainly appreciate Bloodborne (a Top 5 of ALL TIME), but DS3 still looks perfectly fun and playable. I can't wait for DS3 and the BB DLC.

I meant I wont be able to play Demon Souls, Dark Souls or DS2 (without feeling like it kinda drags) because i'm more accustomed to the speed of Bloodborne and how Souls 3 is looking.

 

[Fancy Clown]

I'm digging the "everything was armor and sunsets" look so far. The bosses like they could be thematically linked, like the Knights of the Badass Table or something.

It looks like its combining the gothic horror of Bloodborne, the dark weirdness of Demon's Souls, and the decayed beauty of Dark Souls into one beautiful terrifying lovechild.

 

[Sanctuary]

Getting Tower of Latria vibes from some areas there, yesssss

What I got from the video is that they are trying to combine the best elements from all of their previous "Souls" type games. Maybe this time we will get real loading screens again too?

 

[borborygmus]

It looks Souls-ish to me. The similarities comes from the same engine I guess (lighting looking the same, etc).

I mean, some BB areas were straight Souls, like Cainhurst.

I'm just hoping for the larger and less linear world design of Dark Souls compared to Bloodborne. Exploring in Dark Souls was great, and better than the exploration in Bloodborne.

But either way, I'm on board, because this looks amazing.

fake edit: Also pls no burying the entire backstory in chalice dungeons.

 

[rhandino]

nvm

 

[Neiteio]

It looks like its combining the gothic horror of Bloodborne, the dark weirdness of Demon's Souls, and the decayed beauty of Dark Souls and combining it all into one beautiful terrifying lovechild.

This is a great way to put it.

And thank you to the poster above you giffed Bonehead McGee.

 

[Afrocious]

I will take my Bloodborne Dark Souls and I will love it.

 

[DoubleTake]

I just saw a rolling R2 at 1:12. That sweet sweet Ds1 roll animation chained with R2s into my veiinnnnsss

 

[raven777]

GAF I HATE YOU WHY HAVE YOU NOT GIFFED THE GIANT SKULL AND FAT KNIGHT

 

[Derpot]

Oh my god.

And dat music! Is the composer still Sakuraba?

 

[The Xtortionist]

i will be seeing that giant skull creature in my nightmares

 

[StoppedInTracks]

OH MY GOD

it looks unreal

The speed must be 3x the speed of Dark Souls 2 at minimum.

That armored knight boss-ape with a huge mace on his four legs was moving around like fucking Aava The Kings Pet on STEROIDS!!!

 

[Vitten]

Looks awesome ! That classic Dark Souls setting spiced up with some Bloodborne speediness.

This will be mine... oh yes.

 

[mdzapeer]

Done. Where can I pre-order on steam?

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

yep, the real darkborne starts here

Dark Souls is dead!

Bloodborne is dead!

All hail Darkborne!

 

[Rush_Khan]

I can't handle this...

Looks so awesome. Boss battles look intense. Glad to see dragons are back after Bloodborne.

So many good games coming out 2016. Bring it on.

 

[jimmypython]

Dat back stab
I'm so in!!

 

[Vitten]

yep, the real darkborne starts here

next NOPE-gif right here

 

[The Praiseworthy]

So, this is the baby that were born from Dark Souls & Bloodborne?

AMAZING !!

 

[ktynn]

omg the gameplay looks so fluid and fast, love it!

 

[-Horizon-]

I can't help but be reminded of the blood starved beast when I look at that thin knight boss thing. *shudders*

 

[KCroxtonJr]

K. Now I just need to not die before this comes out.

 

[Renekton]

Dark Souls is dead!

Bloodborne is dead!

All hail Darkborne!

Carried by lack of light?

What about Soulborne.

 

[LucidMomentum]

I will be buying it no matter what, but if I can drive this at 60/120 fps and 4K on PC I will be overjoyed.

Those creature designs are on point!

 

[The_Buttman]

It looks really great, but I have to admit that there were some points in there that specifically reminded me of Bloodborne more than Dark Souls.

Probably because it looks like they're re-using assets
