The ‘Bloodborne’ Footage From Gamescom is Gory, Gorgeous

Briefly: Kari gave us a great preview of Bloodborne back at E3, and From Software was back with the anticipated title at this year’s Gamescom with some gorgeous (and extremely gory) new footage.

The game looks to share a lot of themes with From Software’s previous Demon’s/Dark Souls, but with an entirely different look and a lot of additional style.

As Kari mentioned back in June, the game’s enemies are “something to be truly feared. When you “face an enemy [you are] facing death” (Miyazaki). The euphoria of victory will be worth it after experiencing the “terror of spine tingling battles”(Miyazaki). Now, of course you will need to be equipped with weapons to face these horrific creatures head on. There will be trick weapons and firearms. During the demo, they stated that the game will have a unique online concept but they could not go into further detail.”

This year has seen a resurgence of the horror game genre, and Bloodborne looks like one of the most action-packed games coming down the pipeline. Take a look at the new footage below, and be sure to let us know what you think!
