BigBossBalrog Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 To be serious; the winner of Vaati's "Bloodborne 2" art competetion did Loran as it's "sequel" and some of the shit they made is crazy awesome. Especially the return of the Blood Moon; and the concept of the "eclipse" changing the world state of an ancient city buried in sand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBossBalrog Posted October 14, 2021 Author Share Posted October 14, 2021 One thing I hope Blue Point has the wise sense of not doing is going crazy with landmass; part of what makes Bloodborne such a memorable experience is how it fleshes out a single city as most of the enviorment you explore (with some of the cities outskirts and even it's own nightmarish version of the Paris Catacombs explorable). And with the city; you have a full on plaque outbreak, it's local customs/theocracy, and all the lore pertaining to the Old Ones. I have a worry that instead of doing another city, they'll expand the score and leave alot of the intimacy Yharnam brought with it's focus on a single place. Hell it's such a good setting it has it's own Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yharnam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked Yharnam a lot. But I’d be fine with them broadening the scope in a sequel. It’s all about how they do it. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point; but Dark Souls and BB are different Elden Ring is being described as a spirtual sequel to Dark Souls, not BB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Good Doctor Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 But if turns out to work really well in a spiritual successor to DS, which was set in and around one city, then surely that could be down with a BB sequel as well. I feel like just redoing Yharnam would be too much of the same. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like just redoing Yharnam would be too much of the same. I'm not really saying that. Wouldn't even have to be a city; could be a desert canyon or some giant temple-complex. When you look at Dark Souls (and Demons Souls) it's a bunch of different locations/enviorments put into the worldscape take 3; which has Lothric, Farron, Carthus, and Irthyill, such and such. Which is great and fits well, but it's a little bit...dilluted, if that makes sense? but I thought a singular city, with a ton of different districts and outlying parts, with complimenting themes of enemies, lore, and culture was a really cool experience.

I agree. But since we’ve already done that and done it well, I’m fine with the series branching out to try something different. Yharnam was great, but I’m not invested in any other cities like that yet. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is happening in Elden Ring There's also the fact, if the rumors are true, this will be Blue Point's first original game. Not just Souls game; first original game peroid . Making Demon's Souls will be a big help, but maybe they might want to do a more conviential sequel first to test the waters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodborne feels so compete as it is, I don’t really care to revisit the world unless they do something really new and different. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just worried they'd fuck it up if they were given so much freedom I loved it as a whole, but some of the artistic changes in Demon's Souls for example were pretty questionable.

If they’re not competent enough, then yeah I would prefer to just not get a sequel. The first one is fine on its own. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCzarsHussar Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Bit of information. While I love the tiny glimpse of gameplay, the person who leaked it just ruined his career as a playtester. He's not only blacklisted from the entire industry now, but is very likely being sued out the ass by Bandai for breach of his NDA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
