Well that sucks, rocked up just in time to see Lords of the Fallen but not soon enough to see Bloodborne, I miss anything good?

Just mere seconds of gameplay

Looks like whoever is playing needs to work on their targeting.

Reused assets galore. But it is a Japanese dev.

A gameplay video got leaked, then pulled down, but there's a few GIFs that impress:

Shut up and take my money!!

Yeah, this seals the deal. I'm buying a PS4.

I know it's likely still in early alpha, but I hope to god they fix that tearing issue before launch. I don't want another Dark Souls 2 console incident where the game tears like crazy.

I'm really excited to see how this plays out, outside of the Arkham Knight gameplay this is hands down the most exciting thing to come out of E3. I really love the idea of the setting and I hope the game keeps a very depressing atmosphere. 

 

If this ends up being half as good as it looks, this will definitely be the console pusher that Sony needs.

I thought Victorian Era was the new fad in game development these days? I mean you already got Dishonored and Thief, throw in Amnesia, a couple of Sherlock games and the Order 1886 which also seems to feature Werewolves! (though not sure about undead)

 
Okay then: one game, one game series and a yet to be released game. And that's what in comparison to the innumerable Afghan-war, medieval and modern-day based game settings? Last time I looked, Amensia and Sherlock aren't RPG's. There's only one RPG out there that I can think of with a Victorian-style setting and that's Arcanum which released more than a decade back.
 
Thief also belongs to a series that started 16 years ago whilst the Sherlock series started 12 years back. So since then we've only had Amnesia and Dishonored (and the upcoming Order 1886). I'd say, based on that, that the Victorian setting is not a new fad in game development because very few games feature it and most developers haven't even touched it.
 

 

Combat looks faster paced than the Souls series but that's not a bad thing if you ask me. I'm confident it won't feel like Demon's Souls 1.5 based on this footage. Asides from some re-used sound assets, it looks like gameplay might be heading in a different direction with its emphasis on dual wielding and no blocking. At one point we see the character leap to the side to dodge as opposed to rolling, the leaping actually looked cool too.

Another game that looks interesting, some good games for next year.

It got taken down... on Youtube
 

Here's a webm for those interested

 

Also, do take note that this trailer is almost a year old and the current version of the game looks rather different

[eternal_napalm]

Miyazaki went into more verbal detail about the setting and lore:

 

-19th century, Victorian era. City is in a remote mountainous region far away from civilization, and the indigenous faith have given way to predudice

-epidemic called 'plague of the beast'

-every night, the bleary-eyed, confused citizens of Yharnam wander the city perfoming the 'beast hunt'. The streets reek of blood, beasts and death. (the bell charm  from the old leaked trailer looks like it signifies the start of it).

Well, guess what. We're getting a gameplay preview.
 
And it's coming tomorrow. Link.

PS4 has 2 Victorian era games on the way, why is that happening? Is there a lot of goth kids getting PS4 for X-mas this year or something?

[Dominus]

Surprised EternalPhoenix hasn't risen from his ashes on this news. Maybe this will help.

[Eternal Phoenix]

And apparently it'll release in around six months time so that's around Q1 2015.

Can't wait.

Still getting a massive Castlevania vibe from this and that's great. The visuals look stunning.

I can't believe I missed this for so long. Damn does it look good.

Similar to what they mentioned in Eurogamer, GameInformer had a big article on what's going on behind the scenes:

Spoiler

At Gamescom 2014, I had the opportunity to see a closed door presentation of From Software’s upcoming Bloodborne. We’ve already seen plenty of this Souls-style game at E3, but this presentation shed some more light on some of the systems at work on Miyazaki’s gothic/Victorian horror action-RPG dreamscape.

During the presentation, it was clearly stated that the difficulty of the Souls games would be preserved in Bloodborne, but there are some significant changes happening. We already knew shields were out, but now there’s a delicate risk-reward to the constant frenetic action. It’s known as the “regain” mechanic, and it works something like this:

Whenever the player gets hit by an attack, they lose health. Nothing new there. But in Bloodborne, the player has a chance to regain some of that life by landing successful blows during a small window of time. It forces the player into constant dangerous choices - Do you go for a quick assault and risk taking even more damage to try and gain your lost life, or let it go. Don’t think for a second that this turns the Souls-style combat into some sort of dumbed down hack-and-slash, players will be placed in continual life and death situations and must make difficult choices based on their own skill, the environment, and the enemies in the encounter to survive.

Here’s another significant change - Healing items (Bloodborne’s version of Estus Flasks) no longer occupy item slots. Instead, the number of available items is simply placed in a globe near the top left of the UI, and they are usable without taking up an item slot. This leaves the player free to use some of the new consumable items we had a chance to see in the demo - Oil, molotov cocktails, and pebbles to name a few. The oil/molotov combo is fairly easy to figure out, while pebbles can be used to lure enemies away from packs so they can be dealt with easily. The other visible item slot on the UI is used to hold ammunition for the various ranged weapons that the player will have access to.

Some new weapons were shown, namely the rather straightforward heavy axe and the much more interesting mechanical stave arm. This potent weapon has a short range and requires precise timing to use effectively, and skilled players will likely enjoy taking it out for a spin. All weapons have a “charge” attack that can be readied and unleashed.

The presentation moved into a Grave Town area featuring some terrifying, frenzied old woman enemies that brandished flaming weapons and scythes. They swarm and things look quite bad for our hero, but something happens - The player rolls into them. It’s then stated that these enemies, being thematically old and frail, are actually susceptible to being staggered by a roll. These rolls saved the player’s life and got him through what would have been an overwhelming attack.

Another area was then shown, a dark vertical area with plenty of wooden planks, slightly reminiscent of Blighttown or The Gutter. The player moves into a typical Souls-style trap, a dark area full of seemingly dead ghouls that spring to life when the player picks up a glowing object. After the player falls into a pit of rats, the demonstration ends with a giant plague pig roaring to life and charging.

While I can’t wait for details on the new multiplayer functionality, Bloodborne is hitting all the right notes right now.

Regain is a unique and appropriate feature(which likely has a lore-based justification). I'm glad they're making patrolling NPCs now versus monsters that just...stand around. o.O

I get the feeling it's going to feel a bit more like God of War/Devil May Cry with the aggressive take on combat.

Some fans might be pissed off with Bloodborne from that video but From Software is doing a good thing by not shackling themselves down to that "you're going to die many times and NEED to die in the game for it to be considered good and challenging" crap. This is clearly a new approach they're taking to their RPG's where it's now faster paced. It looks like Dark Souls mixed with DmC. The combat speed is similar to what Dragon's Dogma did and for me, this looks like it's giving new life to From's RPG's.

 

Also, it doesn't even need to be challenging. It's not a Souls game. It just needs to be good and it looks that way judging from the video. The combat looks very solid and I like how you can change to different weapon styles on the fly. 

 

2015 is going to be a great year.

This game is the reason I'm getting a PS4.
