What is this whole new streaming thing? Why do people want spectators? Is streaming the equivalent of making 'selfies'? If you haven't streamed, or made a selfie, then what you did doesn't count?

Could someone PM the video?

Right. Hello there, my new main weapon. Well, that and the Hunter's Axe.

So it's no longer possible to accidentally use an item instead of healing.

But now you'll accidentally use a healing item instead of 2-handing

This definitely happened to me a bunch of times when I got to roll with the Alpha. It will take some time to get used to it.

The guides are great, Miyazaki did an extra interview with ENB, a contributor to the book, and you get an exclusive theme as well...SOLD.

I'm pretty sure that the interview was done with 8-4, not enb.

 

[IAmRandom31]

So many weapons to choose from I'm having a hard time deciding what my first choice will be.

Always loved the style of that sawblade. The hammer with the short sword. That scythe is also plain badass.

Augh. Oh well, ill eventually play with them all anyway. Will probably go with the warhammer + sword.

I don't want the link but what's in the video that's making so many people curious?

Basically, but you left out the part about free advertising.

 

[TraBuch]

So has it been confirmed that the embargo is up on Monday? Or was that just something one guy said and everyone ran with it?

The Monday embargo was apparently for the FromSoftware tour that the press went on last week.

I hate WRPG's, Am I gonna like this?
I got the Collectors Edition pre-ordered
I've played the one free on PS+ and it was ok but nothing amazing, didn't play much of it as it didn't grab me, will this be the same?

Have souls games in the past ever had a katana?

 

[Fhtagn]

So many katanas.

 

[Yoshichan]

Have souls games in the past ever had a katana?

Yes. The most popular being Uchigatana:

Yup they even had one that allowed you to commit seppuku for a damage boost.

 

[0.1.1.2.3.5.8.13.21.34.55]

Snap... Hope there is at least one in BB.

Fixed for accuracy

But what would it transform into? All the weapons in Bloodborne have a second form, no?

Bloodborne has shown me how much hype and 1st party marketing can affect a games sales.

I'd say give it a go but it certainly has elements of a WRPG but if you HATE them then you'll probably dislike certain parts of Bloodborne. If you thought Demon's was 'ok' then you'll probably think this is 'ok' too unless you're particularly attracted to the art direction or increased movement/combat speed.

Transforming katana.....I like the sound of that.

Ayy that thing that links to an imgur gallery has pretty big spoilers in the first picture, i'd recommend spoilertagging the shit out of that

Hmmmm... How about two Tantō short swords. Connected by a chain, and used as nunchuks?

 

[i-Lo]

Phew that cloth animation!

DLC perhaps if isn't the game already.

I'm too mesmerized by:

Everytime i see a new bloodborne vid, gif or whatever I see a completely new enemy type. This is too good to be true, im blown away by the enemy variety...

This thing shall be mine, even if I have to rip it from the cold dead fingers of Death himself

Any impressions on the performance yet? Not stepping foot into the spoiler thread, but I'm curious if the 30fps is consistent.

"Last few things I want to clarify. People were worried that there might be a graphics downgrade. I played the alpha and now the real thing, and I can tell you that the game looks even better. In the alpha I noticed that there were some unifnished rendering on character clothing and some environmental things, but now I'm looking at the clothing textures and also the environment and 80% of my time spent in Bloodborne as of now is just looking around to all the attention to detail. It's a beautiful looking game with sublime music. You guys are in for a treat considering that day 1 is gonna improve performance as well.
Frame rate wise, its been a solid 30fps so far and I'm already used to the control and love the speed of the game. everything you do, and what the enemies do is just atleast 2-3 times faster than the previous entries."

Thanks, I'm trying to avoid reading too much about this game. Really looking forward to it....if I can stop playing DaS1.

Was there a weapon / build type in past Souls games that can be compared to standard (fast paced) Bloodborne combat -- wouldn't mind doing a quick run of one of the old games in a similar gameplay fashion to prepare

What do you dislike about WRPG's?

I think they're generic hack games tbh
I find the combat and stories in the games boring too

Bloodborne has shown me how much hype and 1st party marketing can affect a games sales.

I'd say give it a go but it certainly has elements of a WRPG but if you HATE them then you'll probably dislike certain parts of Bloodborne. If you thought Demon's was 'ok' then you'll probably think this is 'ok' too unless you're particularly attracted to the art direction or increased movement/combat speed.

The art direction is what interests me the most
And it looks to have a more deeper combat mechanics like an action adventures rather then the limited one attack animation combat with RPG elements in a medieval world.
