I feel like a kid going through the Sears catalog highlighting all my Christmas wishes......

Bloodborne takes place in an ancient, forgotten city called Yharnam, known for an old medical remedy. Over the years, many hopeless and afflicted people have made long pilgrimages to Yharnam in search of help. As the main character, you are one of these travelers. However, you find that Yharnam is also cursed with a horrible endemic illness. You must navigate the perilous streets of this city, fighting off nightmarish creatures, malformed beasts and deranged mobs stricken with this horrific illness. Face your fears as you discover the secrets and mysteries of this dark and horrific world where danger, death and madness lurk around every corner.

In Bloodborne, the combat is based on intense life-threatening battles. One of the ways we are bringing that sense of danger to life is by keeping the deep strategic elements from Demon’s Souls, while also transitioning from the passive and block-and-attack style of Demon’s Souls to a quicker, more offensive and active combat style with close-range weapons and guns.

Love the fact that they referenced demon souls. One of my all time favorites, I still go back and play to this day.

Absolutely cannot wait for this game!

Re: Bloodborne

This is related to Demon Souls so is it similar to Dark Souls? Not familiar with Demon Souls at all.

Story wise, it doesn't seem to be related at all.

Otherwise, this looks pretty much exactly what a new Demon/Dark Souls would have looked like. Likely just Sony trying to draw that really hardcore market to the PS4, which is probably a really great idea.

Re: Bloodborne

More details on gameplay mechanics from Eurogamer:

The added emphasis on violence extends to a play style that's another departure from what's gone before. "In Demon's Souls, you were equipped with a sword and a shield, so you could seek out an area and take a passive approach," explains Miyazaki. "But we're going to switch that up from passive to not aggressive so much, but more pro-active."

and Kotaku:

The ruined town extends out in several directions. Like Souls, Bloodborne does not tell you where to go, and like Souls it does not hold back on punishing you for wandering in the wrong direction. Crazed townpeople throng the main roads, far too many of them to cut through. Our demonstrator picks a path around side streets and over bridges, cutting through the lone enemies he finds there. The blunderbuss is interesting - it has no range, but if you let it off just in the instant before an enemy attack hits, it brings the aggressor to their knees and lets you despatch them more gruesomely, rather like Souls' counter mechanic.

Can't wait to see the game in action!
