Bloodborne’s Play Time Remains an Irrelevant Mystery

Technology Tell writes, "With the air so thick with anticipation and promise, I can understand the ongoing search for hard facts about the game, even this close to release. I’m content to get all my presents on Christmas morning, but the truly avid are still out combing the Web for clues and teasers. Understandably so; after all, we’ve got plenty of trailers and gameplay demos to scrutinize, but little in the way of first-hand accounts, even from Souls connoisseur and YouTuber VaatiVidya. In this sense, it’s none too surprising to see so many latch onto Bloodborne‘s latest reported length of 40 hours, a number offered by YouTuber Open World Games. But even with many consumers still antsy over The Order: 1886‘s length debate, and this being the new-gen Souls debut and all, I find it strange that length is of concern to anyone but series newcomers."

I'd be more interested to know how many bosses there are.

Exari3380d ago

i hope its not filled out with many bosses that are generic and uninspired like in dark souls 2, but more thoughtout, epic, memorable bosses like in dark souls 1 and demons souls.

I'd go with quality over quantity when it comes to bosses

DallasTrout3380d ago

True. Hopefully we get more insane looking creatures and fewer humanoid warriors with swords.

GribbleGrunger3380d ago (Edited 3380d ago )

I don't think we'll know that for a while. People are now entering the chalice dungeons and reporting new bosses. They're also reporting it's hard ... bloody hard. Don't ask me what the bosses are, I'm avoiding spoilers, but here's a link to some info on the chalice dungeons. Read it at your own discretion:

If you read it, take that first comment with a pinch of salt. I've been following the spoiler thread on GAF and people are getting destroyed left right and centre, so the complaints of it being 'easy' are questionable to say the least.

nucky643381d ago

nothing concerns me - I just want the damned game!!!!!!!!!!

Forn3380d ago

Give me this game now and nobody gets hurt!

Tdmd3380d ago

Funny as an irrelevant matter begets an article.

Miyazaki wants to 'sharpen' Bloodborne and Sekiro's combat philosophy in his next games

Miyazaki's clearly got Sekiro and Bloodborne in his heart, and refining their combat philosophy is in his mind.

Hells yeah. Would love to see another really tight action focused title next. Be cool if he did something completely different, like a cyborg-ninja game.

Rikimaru-001d ago

yes, now go and make a new tenchu

Hidetaka Miyazaki 'knows for a fact' other FromSoftware devs want a Bloodborne PC port

Keep that hope alive, PC gamers.

Honestly a bloodborned PS5 Remaster and PC Port would have gone really well especially for this dry spell we seem to be in.

got_dam7d ago

I think he is saying only bloodborne can make him wet.

Skuletor6d ago

They're probably referring to first party games.

8bitAssassin5d ago

Poor him. I have too much to play and it's not even funny.

VincentVanBro6d ago

Bud were you here for 2023? We’re drowning mate, no dry spell in sight.

It’ll happen at the PS6 launch in my opinion

We might get a PS6 Remake for launch like they did with Demons Souls for the PS5. The PC port may follow who knows.

Inverno7d ago

I just wanna be walking around with my Deck playing Bloodborne like a absolute nerd on full blast so people can hear the shrieks.

"But there are millions of PC gamers out there still holding onto hope"

Game gets announced...and the complaints pile in to justify piracy. It's old so it should be 20 dollars, psn requirement means no buy but i will pirate, it's just a port they didn't even remake it and it doesn't have every graphics option ever so I'm getting the torrent.

Skuletor6d ago

Even so, that shouldn't have prevented Sony from releasing a FPS/resolution patch or upgraded PS5 release by now.

VersusDMC6d ago

Maybe the From Software engine is such a mess that it is not worth the cost or time for Sony. Bloodbourne is one of the lowest selling souls games.

And even with Elden Ring selling 20+ million they still haven't patched the PS5 version to play at 60fps. Only way to play elden ring on PS5 at 60fps is to play the PS4 version on PS5.

But maybe Bluepoint is working on a remake as that would be the only thing they could charge full price for and be worth the time and money.

Chard6d ago

Most FromSoftware fans would rather a port with the original art intact over a remake that messes with the assets and atmosphere

Elda6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

But instead Sony gives PS5/PC owners an option to buy a PS5/PC Until Dawn remaster/rework this year, something I highly doubt PS fans asked for. A Bloodborne PS5/PC remaster is highly anticipated among fans.
