Isnt From Software making this game?

They made Ninja Blade which I loved.But most people slated the game. Why now that people think they are awesome?

Anyway I want a new Ninja Blade. Ninja Blade 2 please From software.

I expect Bloodborne to score respectable scores around 70 meta. Ninja Blade was underated also.

Have you kinda missed the Souls franchise?

No, I thought NB was better. I didnt like the mechanics of Souls. I want them to go back to pure hack n slash. The seem a pretty good middle road develope nowadays.

That's fine, I was more wondering because of the low score prediction. From Software had an extremely good track record for the last 5 years, so I'd be very surprised if Bloodborne only got a score of around 70.

should have named it blood souls or something, anyone outside the souls cult or people who dont keep up with gaming news has no clue to what this game is

Yeah maybe,  just think an RPG will get lost behind Witcher 3, Dragon Age 3. I still think around 70 with how harsh reviewers are being this gen.

From Software made Demons Sousl and then Dark Souls two of the BEST RPGS of the 7th generation... praised by media and by fans... in fact this games are so good that there is a LOT of people pissed at the fact that bloodborne is exclusive and not multiplat like Dark Souls and they are demanding a port to their sistems (which they will never get because Sony owns this IP), also those people kind of forget that DEMONS SOULS the father of the soul series is also a Playstation exclusive... so what did they expect??...

also Miyasaki is directing Bloodborne and he was the one who directed DeS and DkS 1 the two best souls games, so we the fans are incredibly HYPED!!!!!!!, and after seeing the leaked off screen gameplay on E3 we can confirm that it also has great graphics worthy of a next gen game.

The Souls franchise is quite small. So is more like a few people are pissed. The 2nd game only just went past 1 million LT sales on PS3. Its actually 2.7 mill on 2 platforms combined. Its hadly going to move systems. 

But seriously, I want a new Ninja Blade.That game was awesome.

in defense of the third game it wasnt directed by miyasaki and was made by Froms B team, aside from that it had a major graphical downgrade that put off a lot of people so... it isnt exactly the best one, i admit that the franchise isnt popular or mainstream, but it has a really dedicated audience and if 2.7 million people played Dark Souls then i can expect at least a reasonable number of those people getting a PS4 for Bloodborne.

but who knows i maybe wrong and maybe the fanbase is just VERY vocal on the internet so we will have to wait and see.

I think the Souls fanbase is generally comprised of people that keep up with gaming news when this game releases most of them will know what is and for people that aren't Souls fans I don't really see how it matters what the game's called.

It may be a relatively small franchise, but now anyone who has played Dark or Demon wants a Ps4. So yes, it can be system seller.

hhmmm... who knows the fanbase of the soul series isnt exactly your mainstream gamer, its more the type of people who knows a lot about gaming and keeps up with the news and spent time on forums talking games etc. i mean.. most of the people who are gonna buy the game already know about it, but in terms of marketing then yeah both of the games you mentioned will have a lot of more attention, so i dont think it will affect Bloodborne sales a lot, (it will affect them but i dont think it will be a lot).

I guess we will know next year. I must admit at first I thought it was a Legacy Of Kain Soul game. Now that would ave been amazing. Megatn stuff right there.

To be honest if the game retains it's hard difficulty (which I fully expect it too) then I don't see it becoming a big hit among the casuals. I think 500k is a good estimate, but I wouldn't call that huge.
