Why did darksouls 3 look worse than bloodborne, even on the pc?

>>389160784
Bloodborne was a labor of love, DS3 was Miyazaki thinking "hey, I liked making BB and I learned a lot of new tricks from us working on it, so maybe I won't mind making DS3" then realizing a quarter way in that he still didn't want to work on it.

>>389160784
Sony fanboy goggles

>>389160784
Rushed development

It's a shame really, if dark souls 3 had one more year it could have been an all time great.

That being said, I think 3 does some things better than bloodborne, discounting the DLC in the argument, the overall quality of the bosses and the pvp being two of those things.

Dragonslayer Armor is that you?

>>389161746
it's either because it's more novel for you or because the cut content never actually existed properly so it could promise the world without having to deliver

Some of the Dark Souls 3 alpha stuff looks good, but a lot of it is just copy pasting from Bloodborne, which vanilla DaS3 desperately does enough with the gameplay in an attempt to focus more on fast-paced action.

There's good screenshots but a few of them are just Bloodborne locations reworked.

>>389162481
or it's just because we missed out on cut content. you're not clever, shut the fuck up.

>>389161476

This always amazed me, I tought we would finally see the snakes with wings and shit like in the statues, but in reality these creatures seems to be the pigmy butterflies.

Wish we could've gotten more info on the snakes or a battle with them or something just for a bit of closure.

>>389162739
everyone was saying the huge skellington was going to be a covenant thing and turned out an underwhelming boss

it's almost as if they are in completely different locations.

Also, none of these leaked bullshots have any associated gameplay to them, so you can't make a claim from downgrade beyond cut/moved content.

pic related is a downgrade, witcher 3 was a downgrade too.

>>389160964
Likely Bando wanting it. I think their agreement with Miyazaki is basically, do one game we want and we'll fund yours. So we get Dark Souls 2 then Bloodborne, Dark Souls 3 and whatever new IP they're working on now.

Would've been cool. They could've done what they did with Nito, being able to join the covenant before killing him. Would've been better than two identical covenants.

>>389163987

You are blind if you think that the graphics weren't downgrade at all and thats just a "location" issue.

>>389163987
>it's almost as if they are in completely different locations.
Because they are, you imbecile, thats Yhorm's boss room, it's the same with Gundyr

>>389164190
IIRC you had to kill someone and stab them with a bonfire sword.
Also heard rumors that bonfire swords were disposable and hard to find, making every bonfire a choice, but that might be bullshit.

>>389163140
Because it's the closest thing to Bloodborne that Xbox and PC people got so they hailed it as the second coming of Christ.

>>389164098

Bando had nothing to do with Bloodborne. Studio Japan is a Sony dev team, which means that Sony funded the game in order to have the same Demon Soul's like killer app for the PS4, and they succeeded.

>>389164409
>making every bonfire a choice
Could've been fun. It would've been difficult to balance but at least the whole "teleport from the start" would have some justification since they were much more spaced out. Better than so many useless bonfires.

>>389164431
No one is calling it amazing, most people find it good but not great.
And the supposed downgrade is lightweight as hell, Dark souls 2's was much worse in that regard.

>>389164642
Isn't From a company owned by Bando? If not, my mistake.

>>389164856

Bando has a publishing deal for Dark Souls, but otherwise has no relation to From. The only reason the franchise isn't simply more Demon's Souls is because Sony didn't want the franchise to go multiplat for obvious reasons.

DS3 has a severe lack of unique NPCs. Imagine how hype it'd be to walk up to the massive guy, and have him start a conversation with you.
Instead, he's a horrible boss fight. He's probably my favorite designed character in the entire series, though; I love skeletal designs.
A lot of enemies in DS3 are gorgeously designed, but the lighting and processing effects drag it down.

>>389164856
They're owned by Kadokawa, a Japanese manga publisher. Bamco are just the publishers of Dark Souls.

>>389164431
>implying we want 8 weaponsborne

>>389164327

You'll need at least two to get top pic. One to fix the shit ass lighting and another to fix the shit ass textures. Not saying the top is amazing or anything, it's just that the bottom is a clear downgrade.

>>389165268
Bloodborne is the best Souls game. I say this as someone with close to 1k hours played in each one.
It gets a bad rap because it's exclusive.

>>389165268
>8 unique and viable weapons vs 150 weapons that all act the same and half are not viable

>>389165354
Shameborne is not even a souls game with its mash R1 to win playstyle and endless gothic castle levels

>>389165380
>150 weapons that all act the same and half are not viable
alternate R2s, L2s, weapon arts, the list goes on

>>389161925
But there are weapon sheaths.

>>389164992
Makes sense. Can't wait to see what the fuck they do next.
>>389165012
Agree. It was such a standard video game boss. Hit the glowing parts, done. Also being close to the bracelets made most attacks miss so there was no point in doing anything other than hitting the glowing part.
I would've liked to see, since the DS3 world is like a last hurrah for a dying flame, to see several NPC's slowly lose their mind, kill others, kill themselves. More than the couple of ones who just teleport to firelink shrine and call it a day.
Nitpick but also didn't like that they teleport. Two guys and one girl are trapped in cages and they just fucking teleport away.

>>389165497
>mash R1 to win playstyle and endless gothic castle levels
You just described DS3.

>>389168773
Yeah me too. And if the ending was more bleak with something like the first flame not even lighting because there's not enough energy left in the world to ignite it so your character just walks away and has to accept the gradual heat death of the planet.

>>389169024
There's something about Bloodborne that lends it to almost never having a good thread about it on this board.

It's fucking weird

>>389169296
its an exclusive game in a meme series, so it's pretty obvious why no one can talk about it
unlike other memesclusive series like yakuza it hadn't run itself into the ground yet and no one gives a fuck about some no-name game like ni-oh where they can't even be bothered translating the title
but yeah, exclusive + meme status = no good threads ever

Weapon Arts were a shitty idea.

It's hard to compare BB & DaS3 because BB is covered in a thick layer of CA, it hides a lot of the flaws

The worst part about the FP bar is that it doesn't do anything interesting except work exactly like the stamina bar (which is really, really redundant) and even worse, makes you run out of spells you never even used.

I get that the numbered spell uses system was extremely modular and goofy looking, but damn... at least I could use all my spells before deciding to refill them.

BB is better in literally every way. The only reason to own a PS4 is at least a good one.

>>389171843
Yeah numbered spells were a pretty metagame concept, but it fucking worked. Don't fix what's broken, you know?

And since most weapon arts require FP that means it's just another stat that every character needs. You literally have to raise your mana as a fucking pure melee knight character so you can fully use your special spear charge attack.

So fucking dumb.

What kind of argument is that? It isn't a colouful game. It's drab and bleak as that's the setting of the world. The picture posted was of two grey areas, a fair comparison. One was just objectively superior in every way.

I honestly pity pcbros. They will never know what they are missing.
After you play BB you literally cannot look the same way at DS3. Its basically made of scraps

Visually, it's vastly superior. Textures, lighting, depth, detail, all far better.

>>389173000
I pity Sonybro's needing to bash DaS3 to justify their console purchase, it's so childish

BB is the better game thanks to Japan Studio's involvement, but DaS3 is great also

Texturing, modeling and lighting.

bloodborne has low fps

Funny way to say cherrypicking, old yharnam has empty grey areas just like that DaS3 pic

technically DaS3 has more going on, Digital Foundry has a good review on it
But BB was higher budget & 2 studio's, so overall BB beats it in terms of level of detail

Thing is, you're looking at a picture of an empty grey area in BB. That's what they look like. Superior to the empty grey areas of DaS3. This carries forward into the detailed areas of each game where BB is better in every way.

So thanks for confirming what we're saying here.

>>389173275
I dont need to justify anything. Im not poor
I played BB after DS3. For me it was already a disappointment. But when I got to compare them I was disappointed even more. So much rehashed down to assets and enemies.

The DLC reused assets in the best way possible though. Providing an area that's familiar but twists it around is the best way to reuse assets

>>389176001

You know how you get a coiled sword from Iudex Gundyr that you use to place the bonfire in the shrine? At one point, that was part of a larger system where you would get coiled swords and have to perform some sort of "sacrifice ritual" to make more bonfires. It's unclear how it worked exactly (what you had to sacrifice, whether there were still normal bonfires, where the new ones would be placed, how you got more coiled swords?) but a lot of the early press referred to it.

Idk why you guys are complaining, i think the game looks beautiful. Yes - they can ALWAYS look better but these promo pics are just that - PROMO pics. Plus, it's not like they downgrade for 0 reasons. I thought this shit is already clear after all this time...

I just looked up an early trailer and found this

Uh, no. The Carthus assets are reused within DS3 itself, for Demon Ruins, but while they're similar in concept to some chalice dungeon stuff they're obviously not literally reused assets.

>tfw you remember how pre-release material called Soul of Cinder "Red Knight"
>tfw you look at concept art and see areas they wanted to make accessible (like the dome in Archdragon Peak)
>tfw the next FromSoft game will have a similar amount of cool-sounding cut content
>tfw we won't know it's cut until release day

Can we all just admit that DaS II was the peak of the series and everything afterwards is trash?

>trying to bait to keep the thread bumped
poor form

>>389160707
Surely you can use reshade to somewhat mask it right?

>>389179343
How can it be bait if it's true? BB and DaS III were both pretty shit compared DaS2. Even DaS pales in comparison to DaS2.

this is what people who can only run DS2 think, LOL !

Can we all just get along? Soulsbourne appreciation?

No ps4 so can't play Bloodborne yet but I can't wait until I eventually get one.
I played DeS first but didn't get it, also got ravaged my giant skeletons in 4-1
Then played DaS1 but didn't get past Anor Londo due to my xbox breaking.
DaS2 SOTFS was the first one I beat and I loved it. It made me go back and play DaS1.
After DS3 (no DLC) I went and bought DeS and had a blast finishing that too.
Just waiting on the damn order for Fire Fades Edition (prefer physical) to p[lay the DLC for DaS3 now. Oh, and waiting for a sale on 360 for DaS1 DLC. £10 is a little much for what I'm getting i think.

But i own every console, and Ive played every game. I would never make a statement like that without playing all of the games.
