Bloodnocchio looking pretty decent.

At least I'll be able to follow and understand the story without videos from Vaatividya.

Bloodborne rip-off. From and Sony will call their lawyers...

It's really shameless in how much of a rip-off it is. That being said, it looks like a very competent rip-off.

Wow. I don't think I ever saw a bigger ripoff. That is amazing.

It's funny how overt of a ripoff it is, but I'm not against it if the execution is good. Guess I'll have to watch the video and find out.
One thing I did notice in some footage I've seen is that I SWEAR they use the exact same sound that plays in Bloodborne when you stagger an enemy.
e: ok watching the footage this is even more of a ripoff than I thought, it even has the Souls things of awkwardly running along precarious ledges by running into the wall, a detail that even I might not be inclined to copy if I was ripping off a Souls game

Considering that Bloodborne is a better caliber of a game than most, a poor man's Bloodborne isn't the worst thing to be called.

I see these devs have a "sense of humour" (timestamped link)

This and Wuchang Clan: Fallen Feathers look like they just ripped Bloodborne's animations and sound design off completely. This game especially, and not even sure how they can get away with it since it looks identical in some areas.

Yeah, it looks almost clinical at points with how clean & clear the city streets are. I don't know, maybe the puppets are keeping the town clean.
It took way too long for them to start throwing groups of enemies at the player and it seems like the player has a lot of tools to basically negate groups before engaging. I don't like that personally. The hook that lets you drag enemies to you is a cool gimmick but I hope it isn't just a way to counteract the fact that the player character isn't very good at group combat... the combat itself actually looks like it leans towards the Sekiro side more with its seemingly timed block-parries but I hope you have a more versatile moveset than John Sekiro did. It's really impossible to tell how good or bad this is past a certain point but it looks much more competent than any other Souls-like not developed by From or Team Ninja. I won't be surprised if I enjoy the gameplay more than Elder Rings

I've been noticing (across Twitter, forums and youtube) that a lot of people who call it a clone in a negative sense ("poor mans" Bloodborne) coincidentally also associate it with Xbox..even though it's clearly for Playstation 5 as well.
Surely that can't be because it's on gamepass day and date, could it?

Nah, it's purely because Bloodborne is superior and anything that try's to be it is a clone. I'm sure it'll be a good rental though.

I think they're probably making judgements about the thing that we've been shown, and not using evil gangstalking/gaslighting tactics on Xbox owners (that is a noble pursuit as well tho)

Yeah the streets looks too clean when you have dead bodies and a lot of debris around.

We all know that this is the reason.

His thoughts are, "oh, the 9000th attempt at trying to copy one of my games"
It's not 'missing' the filter. The artists don't want it there.
I believe It's perfectly fine to mention the obvious copying in passing, but some of the more…outraged tales are extremely weird.
There's folks here who've posted the 'Bloodborne clone' talk across multiple threads. That doesn't seem like normal behavior to me.

Obviously, and that's only one reason why it's inferior to the oft compared Bloodborne.
You know what they say about imitation though…
Again, I'm sure it'll be a fun rental.

Well if Sony is not going to make a Bloodborne 2 I'm glad another dev is just completely aping that formula. And what's even better is this is on Game Pass day one. No reason not to check it out!

It looks much better than Code Vein, which was the most incompetent Souls-like I've seen and played.

I mean mainline triple A games just copy assassins creed / ubisoft formula for years now so I don't think it's that bad. Doesn't look like from are making bloodborne 2 so....

This will probably outsell bloodborne.
From the looks of gameplay, you seem to be overpowered fighting robots instead of overpowered tanks like other games.
