Bloodborne

So there's rumors that it's going to be capped at 30fps.

That is not a good sign despite what anyone else says. Especially if they're introducing guns to a Souls-esque game.

I don't even think i am gonna get it, as it is an exclusive, and i play PC. But 30 fps sucks yeah, but what does that have to do with guns?

...
Have you ever played a 3rd person shooter that was in 30fps? It's laggy and slow, which makes it hard to get accurate shots. It feels awkward and they often use auto aim to compensate.

Now combine that with the weird Hit detection that's usually associated with the Soul's series.

Apparently, it won't be an issue.

"Firearms are a close-range weapon, to stun enemies, create counter-attack opportunities."

I hardly imagine that guns in Bloodborne is used the way you are thinking.

Holy shit was watching the livestream and I just saw off-screen footage of the demo gameplay. Graphics looks glorious, framerate not so much but it will be fixed upon release. I'll post the gifs when they're available.

EDIT:



Video for the full thing:

I don't know why but when I saw all the villagers it made me think of Resident Evil 4

Also Ps4 exclusive bleh. I'll probably get it much much later, when or if the PS4 actually has a library of good games.

[color=#ff69b4]The game dose look really good. yeah framerate is bad from what i can see.

Well, it is not like we will have the perfect framerate now anyways, as it is still quite early. Not to mention that we only have a youtube video which is capped at 30, and a gif to show framerate.

Well as one of the few if not only PS4 owners, the game looks interesting. Frame rate most likely will be upped or the game will be fixed to a degree you wouldn't notice it as much. Still a ways off, year+, so we will see what they can do with it by next year...I was shocked to see gameplay cause I thought was another game they just announce and then nothing comes from it.

I'm kind of the same way. This and Little Big Planet 3 are literally the only games so far that interest me, which are exclusive to the PS4.

As much as I'm hyped for this game I won't be buying the ps4 anytime soon either. That's why, like the ps3 before it, I'll buy it when the new FF gets released. By then, I expect the console to be filled with things I like (two years from now, more or less)... Or until I hear more about that supposedly FF killer exclusive sony is working on.

Remember how the first pics that were leaked looked like? Here's the full trailer leak:
http://www.onlysp.com/new-trailer-leaked-ps4-exclusive-bloodborne-looks-fantastic/

It was supposed to show at last year's TGS but didn't and if you consider how bloodborne looks today with a new engine, it's understandable.
From that trailer we can at least take a peak at how the game's gonna be played, how terrifying the bosses look again and how atmospheric a Miyazaki game really is.

Hayao Miyazaki confirmed working on Bloodborne.

In all seriousness I love what they did with the gore, the blood now flies and splatters all over the floor so when you finish up a mob encounter I expect the floor will look like a mess. The monsters look terrifying too, coupled with the disgusting and poorly lit environments I think this game probably sets to be more horrifying than the previous soul games.

Vaati's new video

Thanks. I should really subscribe to Vaati one day, or I'll keep missing this stuff.

"They are replacing magic with gadgets, guns and such. Main mechanic seems to be related to blood and blood is also used to regain your HP and gain various other benefits."

"You get blood sucking it from corpses or items. Sucking too much blood will turn you into a beast which I suppose is this game’s Soul/Hollow form. The game will apparently become a lot harder to play/control when in beast mode. To become a human again you need human blood and is where the online component comes into play," reads the details from Famitsu as translated by NeoGaf user.

Blood mechanic sounds amazing because in the Souls series you would consume souls but besides moral implications there wasn't really much weight to doing so. I also love the idea of offensive gameplay in Bloodborne, there were too many encounters in the souls series that were passive and favored shield builds.

On a side note the weapon that the Bloodborne is using in the clips is a double barreled shotgun, so expecting lever-action guns is not too far fetched?

Finally buying a PS4 for this one.

[color=#ff69b4]Any clue what he means by "To become a human again you need human blood and is where the online component comes into play"?

It would turn me a bit off the game if the only why you could go back to being human again is doing something like PvP.

My best guess would be that they'll have you kill other players then harvest human blood from their corpses (which means you can't invade beast-mode players as a beast?). It's unlikely that PvP is going to be the only way to turn human and Masaaki Yamagiwa from Japan Studio said they'll talk more about online later on this year. Considering it's only been four days since Bloodborne's confirmation it's probably best to wait for more concrete information.
