I think blood tinge might actually be. A stat for regain system stuff and how much Health you get healed from blood vials.Imru al-Qays;150369260 said:
My other theory is that the stat rises automatically as you level up and has a negative effect like the sickness is overcoming you.
Dream Refuge OST is amazing.

Some suggestions for the OT title:
Bloodborne |OT| Tonight of all nights
Bloodborne |OT| Yharnam has a special way of treating guests
And of course -
Bloodborne |OT| And so the Nightly Hunt Begins

Overall Bloodborne is a hell of a lot bloodier than Dark Souls. Like all your clothes soaked in blood after killing a group of enemies, but it generally looks a bit more on the cartoony side.

Are the graphics in this video final? It said in the beginning of the video that the game isn't final yet but it seem like this gameplay doesn't look as great as gameplay shown previously, kind of confused. Happy to see the dark souls menu system and ui though, very familiar .

That's was my main concern. As long as its a solid 30fps I am happy.

Ok the game is 30fps but i didn't notice any framedrops.
However, i'm a little afraid about the variety in the game :/
Looks like there is only the city and nothing else...

What? This game runs at 30 fps and looks like that? I thought they had to take a hit in the graphics department to get it to 60... I don't understand. :/
You expect too much out of From Software.
I wouldn't consider this a game well suited for 10 year olds.

I dont think they ever mention getting it to 60 fps. well all of From Software games can barely handle 30 fps unless its on PC. I believe their goal was 30 fps

Well trying to savor the experiencesIs there any really noticeable differences? Is the frame rate solid? Sorry for asking, pretty sure this stuff has already been mention. Just too lazy to search thro 30+ pages
Yeah I only noticed 2 spots where the framerate dropped but looked more like bugged areas compared to it being technical. Wasn't really anything going on
Smooth framerate. Looks fantastic and beautiful and bright!
Can't wait for the game to be released.
I'm really surprised at the complaints about the graphics. This isn't going to be Uncharted. Yes, there are some IQ problems. But Miyazaki is a stellar director; the game is going to be engaging, frightening, and memorable.
There are very few games out there with this style of art direction, and this kind of artistry. Demon's Souls set a dark, foreboding tone that I hadn't felt since playing the original Diablo, and Dark Souls masterfully followed up on it. Bloodborne seems to be taking a step sideways: representing a different breed of western fantasy. Elizabethan cities, werewolves, and god knows what else is going to challenge us in this game.
I challenge anyone to point out any other recent title that does this theme, and does it this well. This game is unique. It's an action RPG with many choices on how to build your character. It's a multiplayer experience with synchronous and asynchronous play. It has a procedural dungeon mode you can play with your friends. There's nothing out there like it.
Obviously I'm really hyped, so I can't help but think all these complaints are besides the point. If it runs well without game breaking glitches, I can handle a shimmer or two, even a frame dip or two. The important thing is that the graphics provide awesome atmosphere and context, and any technical issues don't get in the way of gameplay.

I'm wondering if blood echoes might actually be some sort of soul memory mechanic? I know that was an unpopular feature, but I am wondering if maybe they could use it to gate experiences besides PVP. For example, you don't get certain bosses and NPC invasions triggered until your blood echoes get high enough.

This is why we get spoiler-heavy trailers.
Doubt we're only getting the two (maybe 3, depending on what that Spider thing turns out to be) bosses shown, but since that's all they've shown us...
There's at least one screen/gif that we've seen with combat in a graveyard surrounded by woods it seems, plus IGN just showed the Hunter's Dream area. There's likely to be more.
I guess I always just assumed they were going for 60 fps the way the game looked. I never really got into their franchises so I didn't know what to expect quality wise. GAF always praised the graphics when Bloodbourne footage popped up which I found weird but I guess they meant the art direction.

I'm almost certain blood echoes is just the longform name for the currency that's simply called "blood" in the merchant screen - it's just souls.

Most people I think are just surprised at what looks like a graphical downgrade from what was shown previously, not too long ago too. The game still looks great and has a great style to it of course, just that now it looks like it could be run on the ps3. Hopefully someone is working on some comparison shots to make sure.

I dunno KeRaSh, I think the game looks beautiful.
The game was always going to be 30,they mentioned it often enough,so good job with your media blackout up till now i guess. The early builds shown chugged like crazy. The bridge area with the boss in particular could get pretty messy in the alpha, though it could be another bridge. Also i think they had to record this some time ago if this was their first attempt at this, and the rest of the coverage they had to produce for this.
Fixed that for you
Quoting for exposure the new page:
Since there's nothing else in my radar next month, I will definitely buy this.
Is it me or is just that the video made by IGN shows some strange judder? Also, I haven't
seen a video from the game since the Sony playstation experience but it looks like the framerate is quite low (maybe a problem of the youtube footage?). I mean, I have only played the first Dark Souls and I know that From Software is not in the pinnacle of game engine optimizations, but I would expect more from the PS4.Maybe it's early to tell.
I hope it doesn't have the same camera problems as the first Dark Souls (was it fixed on Dark Souls 2?). If Melee combat is kind of satisfying, it will be enough for me to play through.

That was what I thought at first too, but as I thought about it we never actually see "blood" and "blood echoes" change after purchase to see if blood echoes goes down too. the thing that gave me pause, was that on the screen where blood is listed as the currency, there was not a shortage of space to refer to it as "blood echoes", for its full name.
I'm not saying it looks bad, but... it doesn't look as polished as I'd expect from a PS4 exclusive. I guess I just had different expectations based from GAF hype threads.
with the town setting they have a lot of opportunities for exploration and connecting the various zones (as seen with the walkable houses in the video), especially if the world design is leans more on the vertical side
the art direction is simply amazing. I take it the Clerical beasts are creatures of flesh and blood and not some plant construct since they, you know, bleed

Looking at the video again, the number of light sources combined with the soft shadowing and the complexity of the geometry in the environment and on the characters, as well as the atmospheric effects like fog, don't look anything like something that could be done on PS3. And considering the team and their pedigree, it's way beyond anything they've published before. Obviously with the nighttime scene the lighting is different and the shadows are more pronounced and dramatic. I don't see any kind of substantial downgrade.
What the hell? On a PS3? You mean the PS3, which couldn't handle DS II in its pre-downgraded state?
Damn, people have way too high expectations for this generation.
Man... was going to get the Bloodborne Collector's Edition until I saw what was inside and the price.
- The Game
- Artbook
- Digital soundtrack
- Steelbook case
$110 AU
or I'll just get the normal edition for $70 and look at some artwork online... They couldn't even print a CD for the soundtrack, its a download voucher...
What I would have loved to see in a Collector's Edition would be a proper CD soundtrack, the official hard cover strategy guide, notebook, coasters, pens, tea towel, t-shirt, mug, figurines, a proper colour manual?, making of dvd, maps, stickers, basically any bloodborne merchandise...

I'm not sure what the reason for the blood echoes/blood discrepancy is. Maybe it's to disambiguate blood the currency from blood the damage type?
If you look at its position in the stat screen, though, it's pretty clear this has to be this game's souls equivalent. It's right below level, just like souls is right below level in the Dark Souls stat screen. And if blood echoes isn't souls then there's no other value that could conceivably represent how many souls you're currently carrying.

I was exaggerating for sure, but still. Just look at this gameplay trailer that was shown 7 months ago http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xx8KTIeSnzs
or this one

Yeah, a complete ripoff.
I'm going to get the PSN version. If/when I want to look at the jewel case, I'll swing by a local retail store

Ahh, well it's no Order or Infamous or even KZ:SF but it looks much much better than any of the previous souls games. It also looks a lot better than the leaked project beast video.When compared to From software's past feats bloodborne looks amazing.
I bolded the part you should have focused on, it's an old build. The alpha and the recent gameplay look better.

That's great, then. I just don't see any in this vid, is all. At 16m his clothes are completely clean. If that were SD or DAI, with as much blood as this vid as, the main character would be covered head to toes in blood (even 10 minutes later in a cutscene) but in this vid he's clean. You played it, right, and there was persistent blood there? Shouldn't such a late build as this one still feature it?
uh, that looks worse than the game in its current state. Plus the framerate seems to be pretty stable right now, which couldn't be said about earlier builds.

I'm getting the CE, but it's only $79 US so not a bad deal. There is premium edition as well, but it is rather lackluster too and very expensive(and out of stock).
ArkkAngel007

Can't believe how ridiculous those prices are. I think between the US versions it's just a $20 difference ($60 vs $80).
Can't imagine how much The Order 1886 Premium Edition costs if it's available there. $150 here in the US and I find that a bit much for a plastic/rubber statue, some stickers, and a 22 page Artbook w/ a likely cheap necklace/keychain.

I think the graphics look ace aside from the aliasing. Point me to a better crafted gothic fantasy universe in any game. Sure it has got some hang overs from the PS3 games, but it is more impressive for its time than Demon Souls, which got slated during the whole period of its development.

Don't you think the game looks better in those trailers than it does in this new 18 minute trailer? Look, I don't mind a slight downgrade if it means improved performance I just wish From Software would say something about it. I am still extremely hyped for this game and will buy it no matter what, I just don't understand how people can be so calm about it when a game has obviously been downgraded so close to release.
Noticed that, too. The question is if they removed if to make the framrate more stable or if this is an older build than the one that has persistent blood in it.
Also, did anyone else find it annoying that the weapons spawned right in his hands after he opened the gates? It's a minor detail but a simple animation could go a long way here.
I agree. Even the PC version of Dark Souls 2 looked great in the early days before it got a major (lighting) downgrade right before release, and it never got any better*
(*Except the option of running it at literally near-perfect IQ of course..)¨
The image quality is indeed bad, and there's a lot of glitches and bad animation (especially in context to the "ice skating" thing the characters do). But good thing the game itself appears to bring a good experience.

Absolutely not. That first trailer has horrible Framerate issues which are cleaned up now and the other looks exactly like what we saw earlier. I feel like you dont know what it is youre talking about.
If you mean it looks different because of the different time of day lighting then yes, if you mean one is looking better than the other then no, you are wrong.
