E3 2014: Bloodborne Is Coming to PS4 Straight From the Minds of Dark Souls

Another PS4 exclusive! Well, at least this isn't a good game, so the situation is not so bad.

UPDATE 2.45PM BST: Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu has previewed Bloodborne and shared new details (collected on<< LINK REMOVED >>).

The article reportedly said developer From Software was targeting a spring 2015 release for the game. It's not clear if this is a Japanese date or one for the wider world.

From Software apparently started working on the game after finishing Dark Souls expansion Artorias of the Abyss (a different team took on Dark Souls 2), building a new world and story for the game. They're targeting 1080p30 for the game, it's said.

There will be online play of some kind and it will involve "discovering" together. Souls has taken a unique approach to multiplayer since Demon's Souls; I'm confident director Hidetaka Miyazaki has something up his sleeve.

There's talk of combat being more strategical and of it being a life or death struggle, but this all sounds fairly familiar to what Souls does already. Oh, and there will be guns.

awww yeaaah! This will make me buy a ps4.

huge exclusive for ps4. well done sony.

The announcement and trailer was certainly intriguing, but it's a bit hard to judge exactly what kind of game this will be. Need some more information on this one.

A bit of a crap trailer, but who cares, From is making a new game, and that....that is pretty cool.

hope it's not exclusive. did they mention any exclusivity?

I had Dark souls around a year ago, got stuck and quit playing... But when it came out free on Xbox live the other day I had another go and completed it last night. The games are hard yes, but the thing I liked is that they're not stupid in their difficulty, if I die 95% of the time it is because I made a mistake, not because of a poor game design. And once I got past about half way I actually found it rather easy, completing most of the bosses on my first try. These games are all about exploring, learning, adapting and discovering which I LOVE, it's a huge change from having it all served on a plate so I can breeze through it with ease and have very little replay value. These games take patience, and I've discovered many of my friends have a giant lack of this having heard them screaming "F*** THIS GAME" over the microphone for the last week :P

I can't wait for this!I didn't appreciate difficulty in games till dark souls came out it seems every game feels easy now in comparison thanks to the souls games lol i have to play things on harder difficulty now to be satisfied.

Hopefully that wont be more steampunk trash...

Holy From geting hot over here! <3

Any1 remember when it was the niches AC/Otogi.

Blood borne. My most anticipated game. Just passed up the witcher 3. Lol

Got to get a PS4 soon. With Bloodborne, The Order, Grim fandango, Uncharted 4 and LBP3 to play with my daughter, it has the better upcoming exclusives for me.

The only exclusive on my Xbox I'm looking forward to is quantum break, and maybe Sunset overdrive but that looks like it could get boring pretty quickly.

Yeah buddy!!! Looks awesome!!!

I liked DS but I just don't see how they make any money alienating the majority of gamers by making their games too difficult and unforgiving. Besides myself I only have one friend that's played any DS game. Most ppl I talk to say they were turned off by the constant dying.

It's kind of interesting that there is a market for these highly difficult fantasy games, but yet the same doesn't seem to work with shooters. I would love to see a difficult shooter that emphasizes things like accuracy, careful movement, etc.

My best guess for why would be multiplayer. Shooters are pretty much all about multiplayer, and I guess in that area people want fast wild action all the time. Man, I really miss the old singleplayer tactical campaigns of games like the original Rainbow Six titles.
