Bloodborne has much better art design, level design, and atmosphere than any of the other nominees. It's my pick.

The order wins from a pure 'great looking graphics' standpoint.

Batman wins on technical achievement taking into account graphical fidelity in an open world setting.

Technical achivement? Technically Arkham Knight should win the Golden Poo Award.

Bloodborne I think has a much better visual design. Not talking about which has the better looking graphics, simply the deign of the assets. It was just so cool playing in that environment!

JoeReno3568d ago

Ugh, the footstep sound effect in Bloodborne and the Souls games was so annoying (to me) it damn near rendered them unplayable for me. I know a lot of people love these games.I am honestly not trolling. I gave them a shot, but that sound. I just couldn't keep on.

Sorry if this had been talked about in articles or whatnot. I just needed to get off my chest why I couldn't get in to Bloodborne or DarkSouls.

Buy a new TV/speakers/headset. The sound in Bloodborne is the best I've heard in gaming.

ninsigma3568d ago

Well I can honestly say I've never heard that as a reason for making a game unplayable before xD Gave me a chuckle, thanks :)

Why a Bloodborne Sequel Could Never Be a True 'Bloodborne 2'

If FromSoftware's Bloodborne ever gets a sequel—and that's a big if—it won't be able to simply pick up where its predecessor left off.

probably due to some.of the endings true.

but u can still continue it on and subsequently end it for good.

The_Hooligan11d ago (Edited 11d ago )

I wonder if they could do a prequal where you play as part of the first hunt and see the blood research and the downfall of the healing church and the remaining hunters.

zaanan10d ago

That is a super great idea, I would 1000% pay full price for this! Only if Miyazaki directed, obviuosly. Bloodborne hooked me in a way Dark Souls never did.

I missed it when games use to have a multiplayer to them.
Hope Sony revives the game at one point

KyRo16d ago

Killzone, Resistance, Uncharted, TLOU, Motorstorm. Great times. Its a shame how far they've fallen this generation

Muigi16d ago

Oh they still do…its just the whole game now 😂.

Why add multiplayer when the single player (despite enjoying it for what it was) had flaws?

You'd work out the issues with how you craft the single player then once you’ve perfected it do multiplayer after.

"Two sequels were planned for the franchise, The Order 1891 and The Order 1899. While the third game was never in development, Weerasuriya says he had planned where the story of the franchise was planned to go, if he had been able to develop the full trilogy."
...
Alas, we'll also might never get the PC version of 1886, which is currently residing in some dev's hard drive, nearly ready for a release if required.

It’s a shame we didn’t gave its chance to this franchise.
Game world was very interesting, and gameplay could have evolved to a major hit with sequels.
Not even speaking about graphics that were way ahead of their time.

Reaper22_16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

If "we" is sony, i agree. I liked the game but it was metacritic that contributed to it's death. It's a shame.

AshleeEmerson16d ago

No, we are "us," the gamers who rated it so low on Metacritic, hurting... Killing its sales. I agree it is a shame. I loved this game.

Charal16d ago

No it is not, it is us has a community which crucified this game, which is happening much too often.

CrimsonWing6916d ago (Edited 16d ago )

I think MP being co-op would’ve been awesome. Essentially, I always viewed this as Sony’s take on the Gears series.

However, it really failed to measure up to what I expected. I definitely saw the potential but there were some things that really bogged it down for me like the forced slow walking segments (which I know was to hide loading), the repetitive warehouse werewolf fights, not enough variety in enemies, oddly we fought more humans than Darkstalkers, and the stealth sections were infuriating.

One thing there’s no denying though, this damn game was a looker. Such a shame at the wasted potential.
