LOL and there I was speculating that this could be a Morpheus-related title during the recent podcast :lol:

HIDETAKA MIYAZAKI BASED DIRECTION.

So glad this is not another Souls game.

This killed all E3 games, that sick art direction.
Finally back to Demon's souls level of macabre.

Man, when I saw Yoshida come up on stage and start talking about a respected industry director and how the project is very to dear to his heart due to his history with the developer. At that moment, I knew. And when I saw the trailer roll, starting with that "Directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki" title, I just lost it.

Some trailer gifs and new info.

​

Introducing Bloodborne, the latest Action RPG from renowned Japanese developer FromSoftware, exclusively for the PlayStation®4 system. Face your fears as you search for answers in the ancient city of Yharnam, now cursed with a strange endemic illness spreading through the streets like wildfire. Danger, death and madness lurk around every corner of this dark and horrific world, and you must discover its darkest secrets in order to survive.

• A Terrifying New World: Journey to a horror-filled gothic city where deranged mobs and nightmarish creatures lurk around every corner.
• Strategic Action Combat: Armed with a unique arsenal of weaponry, including guns and saw cleavers, you'll need wits, strategy and reflexes to take down the agile and intelligent enemies that guard the city's dark secrets.
• A New Generation of Action RPG: Stunningly detailed gothic environments, atmospheric lighting, and advanced new online experiences showcase the power and prowess of the PlayStation(R)4 system.

The trailer is so effing good. The atmosphere, the setting, the music. Miyazaki is definitely in his element. God, I can't wait for some gameplay footage. More info is probably going to be released in the coming week. So hopefully, we'll see some gameplay and maybe even an interview with Miyazaki himself.

[Ottoman]

Will it be on display at the E3 floor? I'm hoping to see gameplay footage in the near future. The trailer had me intrigued.
CGI trailers only tell you so much you know

There were some gameplay leaks before this trailer. And you don't have to worry about CGI trailers here. The game is being made by a dev that actually understands the value of gameplay in games, unlike most others.

Oh man, he's finally going to speak again. Tell us what we wanna hear Miyazaki!

All of that is just Yes! The 19th Century Victorian era looks absolutely amazing. I can't wait to see what they do with it. And I'm glad they're keeping maps out of the game. If you've played either of Miyazaki's Souls game, you'd know that his sense of level design is legendary. Adding a map mechanic, to make it easier for players to navigate the level, would be a serious breach of commitment to bringing back that level design.

I wonder if Character Customization means that we'll be able to create our own character or that we'll just be able to customize the set character given to us. Another article states some of the game's story.

The game’s story revolves around a sickness that turns people into beasts, which results in the existence of beast hunters. The hero starts off visiting the old capital, the atmosphere of which is based on the 19th century Victorian era, while he is “sick."

God, do I want that famitsu issue to be fully translated.

Bloodborne Coming Exclusively to PS4 in 2015, New Details – PlayStation.Blog

New images , that Art direction

Special message from Director Hidetaka Miyazaki:

“Creating Bloodborne as a completely new game on the new PlayStation 4 hardware has allowed us to really push the envelope in myriad ways. That being said, in more ways than one, it also very much retains our distinct, signature style. As has been at the core of our development philosophy since Demon’s Souls, we make true games for people who love games. Please watch for more to come on Bloodborne, and thank you very much for your support.”

Early 2015, i hope delaystation doesnt activate.

Good to see like Evilwithin and Demon's souls, roots are old school.

 

[CerebralTiger]

Looks fantastic!

The 30 minute demo that he saw.

I'm glad Miyazaki's taking this in a different direction. Too much of the same thing would have been tiresome. I can't wait to see some actual gameplay and see how different it actually is.

Man, looks like there will be lots of mobile mobs in the city. This is definitely not like a Souls game. From the gameplay impressions it sounds open world with multiple paths and optional confrontations.
