Right now my PS4 is an expensive netflix box.
Indeed, I had planned my usual tactic of buying one to supplement to Xbox. IE, play exclusives on the PS4 and play everything else on the Xbox. However, there is just nothing on the PS4 at the moment to make it worth shelling out for, so I'm going to wait for this to draw near, and hopefully see another price drop of techn revision in the meantime. So, what do we think this Bloodborne will end up as? A shiny, next-gen Dark Souls-esque title set in a Victorian horror setting?

I Think Dark Souls in a Victorian setting, a sort of Van Helsing feel to it all, would be brilliant!So, what do we think this Bloodborne will end up as? A shiny, next-gen Dark Souls-esque title set in a Victorian horror setting?
PS blog about it.

Sounds like a great concept. However, the comments about wanting to take the pace and balance out of the Dark Souls combat style and make it more frenetic are worrying. You have to have some ego to think you can better the Dark Souls combat, given that it's widely praised as the best hand to hand combat system ever used in gaming.
Me!
I don't really do digital - too tight, and wedded to the idea of being able to sell the disc on once I'm done with it - but I nearly broke my own rule by buying digitally from the US store so I'd get it tomorrow rather than wait until Friday. I resisted temptation in the end - but only just....
I think the embargo lifts later today (or early morning tomorrow) so I'd guess reviews will start appearing in the next 24 hours. I noticed Eurogamer mentioned this morning that they'd have an "impressions" piece going live at 2am tomorrow (not sure why it's not a full view....)
I watched some Twitch streams of it over the weekend and it looked to be quite a lot faster than the previous Souls games but still recognisably from the same origins. Irrespective of what the reviews say, it's a must-buy for me.

I was going to preorder, then I remembered how bad watchdogs was. I'll wait until the embargo lifts later this evening instead of risking being burned again.
It does look spectacular though, initial mutterings seem very positive too.
FromSoftware >>> Ubisoft though. I haven't preordered, but the US get it today I think, then JP, then EU, then UK on Thursday? So at least the first impressions and 'reviews' can come out before we buy it, in the unlikely event that it's a flop (doesn't look like it will be though, does it? It does look spectacular though, initial mutterings seem very positive too.
)Apparently Playstation Denmark are giving it away for free to people that donate blood during release week.. what a country..

All the indicators point to it being ace, the few reviews that are out there seem to be glowing. I'm pretty positive it'll be special, but I can wait a few days.
