Also, I noticed no magic... is this melee souls?

Dark souls has always been primarily about melee combat.

True, but magic was always there for options and as an 'easy mode' for total scrubs.

Point is, if it's removed outright... what replaces it? Or is it just removed and not replaced?

Magic is very useful, sometimes the best option to kill a foe.

Yea it's useful, but the focus has always been melee combat.

Tears. Sweet, sweet nub tears.

Bloodborne goes diablo with procedurally generated dungeons. Not sure if it is a good idea for this game.

Miyazaki also promised extensive character customization, saying that the options players expect from a role-playing game — different weapons, faces, items and equipment — would be present in Bloodborne. He added that customization features that are "very unique" to Bloodborne would be in the game, but added no further detail.

This is the most recent and detailed information I can find about character customization. I have yet to see anything confirming that stat customization is in. Is there no long-term commitment to character builds in this game? Is meaningful customization limited to equipment swapping? I have been getting the impression that this is a faster paced, more casual and accessible action game. If this is going to be a queefy casul experience then I'm back to having zero reasons for eventually getting a ps4.

Do you really think stats make an action game more 'hardcore'? I guess that makes Morrowind's 'it looks like a hit but it's a miss' battles the epitome of first-person melee combat. Injecting RPG elements into everything is arguably a popamole feature of recent years.

Any chance this game will ever be released on PC?

It's published/financed by Sony, so likely never.

Though you'll presumably be able to emulate it in a decade or so.

I'm an optimist, emulators will be eventually made...

Plus there is the chance "Sony" might the way "SEGA" in the future...

(Hopefully all the present console hardware makers will go the way of "SEGA"...)
I drink a toast to it being so...

 

[Makabb]

Demons Souls was not released on PC , so before Bloodborne DS need to come first,,,,,, so we may see Bloodborne on PC in 15 years.......on emulators

more casual and accessible action game

I played the demo, it's not.

 

[Makabb]

From vids the combat seems a lot more faster and arcade compared to dark souls.

 

[subotaiy]

So, for the people who tried the demo: there are actually stats in it or is it pure action?

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Even if Bloodborne turns out to be dumbed down casual popamole, there's still a great engine that can be used for Dark Souls III(?). And the fact that the Masterrace can shit all over Playstation again.

The one I played didn't have any, and also no inventory. There were 3 pre-generated characters with different weapons/clothes. But I'm sure the final version will have stat|inventory management and the demo was made to show the reworked battle system and controls.

Nintendo can stay, they ain't causin' any harm. Neither was SEGA for that matter. It's console manufacturers who aren't entirely video game companies that are the problem.

What makes you think that they'll port Dark Souls 3 to PC if Bloodborne stays PS4 exclusive and they both use the same engine?

Wat. Implying that DaSIII will be a Sony exclusive too? Not gonna happen.

 

[Lyric Suite]

Is Miyazaki going to be involved in DS3 as well? Or is Dark Souls now going to be the shit Souls series?

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

It's not like you'll ever be satisfied with anything anyways, LS.

 

[Makabb]

Dark Souls seems to be the souls for the masses cuz its on xbawx........ the ps exclusives are the real souls, meaning Demons and Bloodborne.

Demons was much much harder than DS 1, and DS 2 was so easy compared to DS 1 it's not even funny.

 

[Lyric Suite]

Bloodborne isn't even out bro, and DS 1 was gud, so stop the derp.

It's not like you'll ever be satisfied with anything anyways, LS.

I was pretty satisfied with DS1, but when i tried DS2 i noticed a sudden drop in quality. Didn't get far into the game, just pocked around for a bit, but the level design was all over the place and i thought the game actually looked worse for some reason.
