Bloodborne's New Screenshots Shows Awesome Katana and Wheel Weapons, New Armor & More

With Bloodborne getting really close to its release, more screenshots are emerging, showing some very interesting details.

[TheOneWhoIsTornApart]

Hey abrael I really love your articles and I'm not trying to sound rude but can you please not put spoilers in your titles anymore?.

Edit: Let me clarify that what I mean is that putting name of the weapon in the title is considered a spoiler for many people. We would rather not know there is a katana until we find it in the game. Would have been nice to stumble upon it and be surprised.

[die_fiend]

Yeah I agree with this. A lot of articles naming weapons and stuff isn't appreciated at all!

[TheOneWhoIsTornApart]

I really don't want to hear about every single weapon and outfit in the game and I feel that far too many have been spoiled this way.

[Muzikguy]

I don't click on Bloodborne articles anymore for that reason. You're right. Too many games are getting spoiled because sites want more clicks. I'll try and selectively forget what the title just said. I'm still hyped for this game! I need to quickly finish KZSF before Tuesday

[Forn]

I agree. Guess I need to stay off N4G for a this week so as to not ruin anything Bloodborne related for me.

[peshkavusCA]

Good. Because the headlines all over the gaming sites will be covered with Blood... Good or bad reviews for this game.

[SilentNegotiator]

Wait, are the weapons acquired like the other Souls games, or is this a God of War type deal where you collect weapons at very specific parts in the story as part of the progression?

Because if its like the other souls games, I don't think that's really much of a spoiler.

[wsoutlaw87]

What did the title really spoil for you? Were you really questioning if there was going to be a katana type sword? I don't consider that a spoiler at all. Its fine that you do, but I don't think you can blame the author, it's pretty obvious there will be swords of different types in the game.

[TheOneWhoIsTornApart]

I already explained in my comment what it spoiled and why I thought he shouldn't put specific names of items and things in the title. As a huge Souls fan part of the fun is exploring the rich worlds that FromSoft and Myazaki create and finding all sorts of unique and interesting weapons and I don't like knowing what all the loot in the game is before I play it. Also your comment " it's pretty obvious there will be swords of different types in the game." is missing the entire point. This game has a completely different weapons system than the other Souls games in that most of them transform and it is a surprise to me to find out that there is a katana in the game.

[wsoutlaw87]

It doesn't say katana is the name and finding out the name of the weapon couldn't matter any less to the vast majority of the people who play the game. What, do you think the name of the weapon is " awesome katana"? If part of your experience of bloodborne is legitimately spoiled by finding out one of the weapons is like a katana when the game contains swords, then I don't know what to say to you. Should people also not mention there are these monster things that will try to hit you with swords? I just don't see how the title gives anything away that anyone would seriously be surprised by or excited to find out in game.

[TheOneWhoIsTornApart]

@wsoutlaw87: Wow dude are you being purposely obtuse or what?. Did I say even once that the whole game is somehow ruined for me because of the katana being revealed?. I said nothing of the sort. I have already explained why I said what I said so go reread it if you don't understand it. The amount of agrees that I have says otherwise to your comment about the vast majority not caring about spoilers in article titles by the way.

[wsoutlaw87]

You need to work on your reading comprehension skills before you respond because i also never said anything about the whole game being ruined. It helps if you respond to things that are actually said and points that are made. Lol you actually put weight in agrees/disagrees? Obviously no one wants spoilers in titles. The point is, saying katana isn't really a spoiler imo. But hey, maybe you would be sitting there with anticipation, wondering whether or not there would be a sword in a game with swords. Seriously, nothing about the weapon, or what makes it fun to find for you, should be spoiled by the title, but thanks for all your replies.

[PurpHerbison]

I hope the title has changed, cause seriously, "Awesome Katana and Wheel Weapons"? Was that really it? Lol... How devastating.

[d--keller]

I wish you hadn't told me that there would be lore in this game. I like to find stuff like that on my own.

[equal_youth]

Oh man i cant wait any longer :( and i even have to wait another week to play because i have to go on a trip next week...

Is that a crown the character is wearing in one of the pics?

[Tripl3seis]

3 more days baby can't wait for this bad boy to drop on Tuesday let's go

[VJGenova]

3 days? I'll be playing it in 48 hours from now when I get home from work.

[Allsystemgamer]

I already have it ;)

[Tripl3seis]

Dude the waiting is killing me bro seriously I'm getting the physical I need that in my collection of games haha

[Deividas]

I agree, stop putting specific weapons and stuff in titles. Just please keep it more vague (Ex. New Weapons and Armor) No need to be that specific cause that just ruined it for me before I ever even played the game. I want to find out for myself exactly what type of weapons I am going to find. Putting them in the title is 100% spoiling, please let people decide for themselves if they want to know the weapons, and not have it ruined before even clicking on the article.

[FullmetalRoyale]

He will put whatever he thinks will get those clicks, regardless if it is unpleasant for some of us. It is incredibly shocking how little respect he actually gives people.

[PurpHerbison]

Sounds like you should be avoiding the internet then.

[MWH]

these days one can complete a game by news and screenshots.

[christian hour]

Oh man, the image compression here is killing me! (not to mention the low contrast among a tonne of other things)

[christian hour]

Whoever disagreed must have thought I was referring to the games graphics or something. I obviously meant the low contrast of the capture and the compression of the images.

[thegreatklemba]

1 1/2 days left here in the states can't wait it sucks that EU, UK have to wait. It sould just release world-wide the 24th

[ThunderPulse]

I'm going to be a Katana user.

[dcj0524]

Same

[mafiahajeri]

Game is badass, played an hour or so died a lot in the begining but enjoyed every replay. Graphics are top notch, physics and how the environments reacts to you feels natural and alive. Gruesome game too, blood effects are gorgeous. Mortal kombat can learn a thing or too.

It's similar to past souls games but the controls are super tight, only negative is the loading time 15-25 seconds...

This is coming from a guy that never really got into past souls games, everyone that has a ps4 needs to give this game try...

[moomoo319]

15-25 sounds great compared to some recent reports. Are you playing post patch?

[wsoutlaw87]

We call one article "recent reports" now?

[moomoo319]

@wsoutlaw87

dick response. Very few people actually have the game and fewer have put impressions online. I saw that article plus another user make the same complaint, so i think its ok to ask how his experience differs.

[joel_c17]

When do we start to see reviews?

[TheOneWhoIsTornApart]

I'm almost positive the embargo lifts on Monday. I expect a lot of really high scores for this. All of the hands on impressions I have seen have given nothing but glowing praise for Bloodborne. Tuesday needs to hurry the hell up.

[BigBosss]

2 more days here in Australia! Can't wait! :D

[Scatpants]

One more day. I'll probably enjoy this game for 3 or 4 days until I get to a part that kills me 100 million times and then I'll get aggravated and never play it again. Still looking forward to it though.

[Hanso]

If you learn the moveset of your enemy you can kill everything.

[GenerationZero]

We're down to 1 day left, too bad this day feels like a fortnight. Very excited to play this, hopefully it doesn't punish me too bad for being new to the style of play.

[PaleMoonDeath]

When does the review embargo lift? from what I've seen, this is the best From Software has put out thus far, keep watching walkthroughs people are posting.. I can't help it.

[Pathogenic]

I am almost finished downloading Bloodborne Day One Digital Version. I am so pumped to play this tonight at 12:00am Eastern Standard Time!!!

[ziggurcat]

10pm tonight! can't wait to start playing this game. I've been watching some streams of this game, and it looks awesome.
