Bloodborne will have a New Game Plus mode

Bloodborne will have a New Game Plus mode, From Software has confirmed, alleviating concerns that the developer may be leaving the popular Souls mode out of the upcoming PS4 game.

Why is this news lol? Every Souls fan out there know that.

"We're having trouble beating it, though."

Music to my ears.

The Edge article of bloodborne (here is a PDF scan of it http://imgur.com/a/9xLOL ) made it kinda sound like NG+ wasn't a big deal. Was a big worried about it, but this is welcomed news to me. I think DS2 had the best NG+ by adding those tougher "red" monsters. Was Demon Souls NG+ like that?

[Master-H]

Ummm, Edge played around 40 hours of the game, and they haven't finished it yet..Therefore they don't know shit about New Game Plus. What they were worried about is the weapons count and the effect of that on re-playability.

It could be seen as a positive though, since the less weapons there are compared to Souls games, the more likely they are more thought out, balanced, and varied, instead of re-skins of the same weapon type with minor differences. Also trick-weapons could be considered as 2 weapons, since they transform into different shapes with different move-sets.

Plus it's likely that EDGE missed some weapons, since the games are known for their hidden secrets/paths, and weapons that are obtainable through ranking covenants (which require you to be online).

Then there's the Chalice Dungeon, which the whole point of is re-playability, and they haven't tried that out since it's tied to online and the day one patch.

Yeah what are you talking about? I read this out of the magazine this morning, no mention of NG+ at all. I didn't even know it was in it until I've seen this very article!

As the guy below said, they question replayability due to weapons, but in all fairness, it's got NG+ and co op so this will be getting absolutely smashed...repeatedly!

Everyone is trolling Edge, making it sounds like they were saying this game sucked but for anyone who decided to jump the gun, here are some select quotes

'First essential next gen game'
'the world of Bloodborne is a masterpiece'
'40 hours in and no end in sight'
'Miyazaki and his team have done it again'

That Bloodborne PS4 looks really good. Those pictures looks awesome. Makes the wait harder.

[Trey_4_life]

Sony have done it again. Incoming 10/10 reviews.

[DragoonsScaleLegends]

Done it again... what other PS4 games got 10/10 reviews? I guess some of the last gen ports might have got that high. I still think GTAV and TLoU are the only high rated PS4 games.

@MasterCornholio

Oh yeah I forgot about Resogun, it was a great game and definitely with the custom ships people made. I still wouldn't give it a 10/10 unless we are just comparing it to indie games.

[MasterCornholio]

Resogun got plenty of 10\10s.

And dont tell me that doesn't count because it's a small title.

@Dr

Well an Indie title can be a 10\10 all by itself as long as the experience is a 10\10 if you know what I mean. But I agree you really shouldn't compare indies to AAA due to the budgets involved. In my opinion critics should be harsher on AAA titles due to the budgets involved and the higher price at retail.

[Trey_4_life]

Someone is ignorant to the success of the PS4 i see!

@MasterCornholio Well said, +1 bubble.

[TheFallenAngel]

I think by done it again meaning the best exclusives since the ps1 to the PS3 and now coming to the ps4.

[SpinalRemains138]

He stated "SONY does it again."

Just because you inferred he meant PS4 only, does not make you correct. It in fact makes you.....what's the word?.....WRONG.

SONY pumps out plenty of 10s. That is why it is the console of choice every generation. There were 3 previous SONY consoles prior to Nov. 2013.

[DragoonsScaleLegends]

No I'm not ignorant to the PS4's success though I am disappointed that us long term fans like myself still don't have PS1 or PS2 support or any acknowledgement that they might support those consoles on PS4. Actually I might be even more disappointed because of the fact they teased The Legend of Dragoon and Shenmue before that PlayStation event in a YouTube video and then they didn't have anything to show for it other than disappointment. Why tease something if your not going to show or say anything about it? I am a huge PlayStation fanboy when it comes to the PS1, PS2, and PS3 though my fanboism slowly sputtered out during my 2014 PS4 gaming.

[Drekken]

If you are disappointed with PS4 games, you aren't a gamer. There are plenty of good games. Quit listening to the mainstream gaming media. They don't know anything.

[TheFirstClassic]

The ps4 exclusives have been disapointing to many people, it doesn't mean they are brainwashed, its just an opinion. I don't see a real system seller exclusive on ps4 yet tbh.

[Trey_4_life]

According to edge this is ''THE game to buy a PS4 for''

This is the year of the PS4. #YearOfPS4

The article made it sound like this was the genuine "next-gen" game from those last few sentences

[Trey_4_life]

Thanks for the link, can't wait for another world-class PS4 exclusive.

[Exari]

lmao the first word of that article is a typo.. do they even spell check?

[SpinalRemains138]

Exari,

What are you referring to?

[filipakos]

[DarkOcelet]

Too Much Blood 6.5/10 Ign.

"we're given guns but not enough bullets" - 5.2/10 polygon.

[Trey_4_life]

Praise the moon. umbasa.

[JMaine518]

Nice! I will def be reading those scans. I'm so excited for this game it's not even funny.

[WeirdShroom]

NG+ will double enemy health. Halve your heath. Your weapon is a toothpick. Available health will slowly leak from your characters butt, so you're on a time limit as well. Will refresh at checkpoints, so it's OK.

[Timesplitter14]

The sun is hot

"Bloodborne's awesomeness was not enough to lead us away from Microsoft's money. My 5 year old niece was in the room when I splattered a beast full of blood and it traumatized her."
