Well what do we have here? Blood, Old Man's Dog from SCIV, Eric Lecarde and his Spear for PoR and Henrey Oldrey later on. Not to mention a Gothic City with Castle in the background and the Clocktower.

Dark Souls II's own downfallings was the fact nearly the entire team was all new; none of them worked on Dark or Demon's.

The team that made those games is the one making Bloodborne, so there is a lot more ease in that it probably will not disappoint like Dark Souls II did for a lot of people.

That's just an excuse. Miyazaki still oversaw development and Ok'd things in the end.

How I supposed to be salty of a game that runs in 15fps?
Sony already killed the Vita, and now PS4's library is 99% Multi-platform releases.
And then Sony expects us to believe that Uncharted 4 isn't just a video playing on a PS4 after seeing Bloodborne.

The game does look interesting though, but the Souls series has progressively gotten worse and the E3 presentation is really looking bad for this game.

Holy s**t! That looks awesome! That's very much an interactive 30's color cartoon right there! Classic animation and all that jazz!

They shouldn't have rebooted Castlevania in the first place. The old universe was fine the way it was.

No, no it really wasn't.

It was far too cluttered and had a shit ton of baggage that scared away new players. Especially considering they kept churning out sequels instead of making new games.

A sequel to Bloodlines. a Sequel to Aria. A semi-sequel to SotN.

Then Judgement happened.

A reboot was going to happen eventually. It was just a matter of how it was handled.

The fact is, the series needs a reboot now even more than it did then. Think what you want, but something tells me we were short-changed somewhere along the way.  ;D
