Forums - Sony - Bloodborne playable at Gamescom, early 2015 release window reconfirmed.

Intrinsic on 08 July 2014

2014-2015 4Q is getting too crowded. It would be great if sony pushed one of those games into the 1Q 2015-2016 fiscal year instead. Like april or may, unfortunately thats not going to happen as they would want sales from both their games to add to their 2014-2015 fiscal year.

In 2014-2015 4Q alone we have Batman, The witcher 3, The order and Bloodborne. Worst part of it is that they are all games that draw a very similar audience. Mayebe the Witcher 3 gets delayed till april or may though I doubt MS will like that if they have anything to say about it.

Speaking of which, does anyone know which or if any AAA exclusive games are coming for the XB1 in that window?

Seems too soon. I mean we JUST got Dark Souls 2. I know they are technically separate IPs but they are still very similar in gameplay.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

I guess MS will have to delay Halo 5 to 2016

You must be acting witty, implying that the MCC and Halo 5 being a year apart qualifies as the same circumstance.huh.

As much fan service as the MCC is, the games themselves are all older Halo titles. Not exactly the same as Dark Souls 2 to Bloodborne within a year.

What about Forza 5 and Forza Horizon 2 then?

I'm implying your comment had no merit, which it doesn't.

And you're right, it's not exactly the same, because DS and BB sound more different gameplay wise than Halo vs Halo.

"Sound" being the operative word. Sounds different, same gameplay ;)

Guess you support the annualization of various IP's like COD (nothing wrong with that btw)

You know what I am going to say and you know it

Horizon is open world arcadey and Motorsport is a track based sim. They share half a title and gameplay wise......well cars driving is kind of the theme in any racer. DS2 and Bloodborne share a more intimate simalarity.

I know we like to hate on games like COD for being too annualized and god forbid Bloodborne gets even half that taint from being released so close to Dark Souls 2. But really, there is nothing wrong with that if the qualtiy is there. I mean I said its too soon but that doesn't stop people buying MLB or COD. If its fun people will come.

No..you really should brush up on your Bloodborne knowledge before you make those comments.
