Three years or so ago, Sony came to Miyazaki with the then-unannounced PlayStation 4 hardware and invited him to create something unique for it. I’d assumed that Bloodborne might have started out as Demon’s Souls 2, but evidently that wasn’t the case - Masaki Yamagi, the Sony Worldwide Studios producer who’s been working with FROM on Bloodborne since the very beginning, says that Sony wanted something new. “The goal was, just like we did with Demon’s Souls, to give people a whole new gaming experience - this time on PS4,” he says. “We always wanted to have this as an entirely new experience and allow Miyazaki-san’s directorial vision to come through. There was never really a conversation about it being a Souls game.”
The Souls-like genre remains popular, along with FromSoftware's classics there are many contenders. But which are the best Souls-like games?
Hmm... In my opinion, the 7 best are the 6 made by FromSoftware (DeS, DS1, DS2, DS3, BB and ER), then Lies of P. But each to their own.
Saad from eXputer: "Almost a decade later, it's time to take the nostalgia goggles off and accept that Bloodborne has long been surpassed by its successors."
Yes, yes it does. It’s still a great game. Elden Ring isn’t better just different and a bit easier . I like that you have to be aggressive but smart in Bloodborne
"Sony is missing out on a hugely profitable opportunity by ignoring fan demands for a Bloodborne remaster and PC port," says Ahmed from eXputer.
Bloodborne came out on the PS4. It is owned by From Software. What missed opportunity? I am sure the people at From Software know what they are doing. Especially since they are hiring devs instead of laying them off.
Maybe do an article about that instead of writing a hit piece on them acting like they don't know how to run their business.
It will be a launch title on PS6 just like the remake of Demon's Souls for PS5 launch
Im glad to see the anticipation is very high for Bloodborne. It looks like a really good addition to the PS4 library this month along with MLB15 The Show and HellDivers. Lucky for us we also have Battlefield Hardline and Resident Evil Revelations 2 to help pass the time before Bloodborne drops next week.
Keep the positive previews coming.
Seems like we have a hit on our hands.
