Within the Lands of Dusk, there are great foes. These are stronger even than other enemies. Then there are even greater outside threats called trespassers.
You can get Repulsion Virtue by defeating these enemies.
Great foes and trespassers are formidable opponents. Before taking them on, it's best to enhance your Bloodsworn.

Attention /duskg/: There is a SECOND HALF of the Duskbloods that we CANNOT access. It is hidden in the game files from us. I'm going to take Nintendo to court and that way we can all play the FULL Duskbloods, even the part that Miyazaki is hiding from us. It is NOT cut content, it is a second half of the game, and it's illegal for them to do this.

FromSoftware has always had simultaneous projects

Demon's Souls developed between 2007 and 2009. Dark Souls developed between 2009 and 2011. Miyazaki creates Artorias DLC using his unfinished plans as a bonus for the Dark Souls PC port, then begins Bloodborne development.

Dark Souls 2, Bloodborne, and Dark Souls 3 were being simultaneously developed in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016. DS2 in 2014, Bloodborne in 2015, DS3 in 2016.

DSII started off under the direction of Tomohiro Shibuya, who got fired and replaced by Tanimura who had to salvage the project and who had to pick up the pieces 6 months from launch, then make DLCs, and then Dark Souls 3. Miyazaki came into Dark Souls 3 after Bloodborne, helped finish the game, designed the Ashes of Ariandel and Ringed City DLCs, before starting work on Elden Ring.

Sekiro and Elden Ring were being simultaneously developed with Miyazaki working on both projects. Miyazaki and Kitao wanted to make a Japanese game set during the Sengoku period after all the western fantasy.

Elden Ring SOTE DLC, Elden Ring Nightreign and The Duskbloods have been simultaneously developing between 2021 and 2025.

Miyazaki pitched it to Nintendo because Sony refused to do anything with Bloodborne, especially after Yoshida and Takeshi Kajii left.

You forget that this whole thing started when Jim "there is zero interest in games and IPs from previous generations" Ryan somehow managed to become CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment.
>Forced every PS Studios developer to work on a GaaS project
>Kept buying other game developers to add more GaaS projects to the growing list
>Bought Bungie but gave them full independence from SIE, which is what allowed them to do all the stupid bullshit from the past 3-4 years
>Put Bungie in charge of every GaaS project, who wasted no time sabotaging them all so that Marathon wouldn't have any internal competition to worry about
>Forced the Japanese PS5 to use X as confirm, and then told everyone that Japan is one of the least important regions for Playstation
>Gave himself nearly a billion dollar bonus and put the Horizon Zero Dawn creator in charge of SIE before taking the golden parachute out the door
>Shuhei Yoshida says the rise of AAA games shut down Japan Studio because Sony "wanted to drive hardware sales with games like God of War and Uncharted"

>Naughty Dog spent the entire PS5 gen without releasing 1(ONE) game, with Intergalactic still years away eating up budget
>Insomniac had to clean house after everything got leaked and restarded development on Wolverine
>Sucker Punch absolutely fucked Yotei up so vad they shut down the MP after 2 months
>Bungie still pouring money down the drain with Maraflop and now having shut down Destiny 2, the only game that was making money

And yet they shut down Japan Studio, the only dev who didn't have any internal drama nor where they bleeding money

PS6 is going to flop in Japan

You’ve posted multiple times before please post a source for all of this (I appreciate you had the decency to remove your bogus BB remake claim)

IGN: Following up on this being a Switch 2 exclusive, is there more you can share about how and why you went with Nintendo, a little bit more detail about how the partnership came about? I know you said that you pitched this and it's pretty much the idea from the start.

Miyazaki: In terms of the reason that we initially decided to go with Nintendo, we had had an opportunity to discuss the idea for the game with them and I think they seemed very excited and very receptive to the idea, they seemed very forward thinking in terms of how to do it. Before considering the business aspect of it, that alone was something that I found very appealing and gave me a lot more reassurance for moving forward with this.

Of course the game isn't out yet so there are more things to consider, but in terms of the relationship currently and how we think it's going, up until this point – the systems and the overall ruleset of the game are very unique, and I think having someone who can constantly give us feedback, support, additional ideas, and the balancing first of all because these features are quite complex and difficult – having this relationship is definitely key to that. Also with the complexity of the systems, the onboarding tutorials and making sure players understand how the game works and how to succeed in the game is something we've historically not been super great at conveying instantly. We've definitely just dropped players in and hoped they would figure it out. In this case, Nintendo is definitely the right partner for better conveying that information in a way that is understandable to the player; it definitely suits their strengths.

In the Dusk Battle menu, you can configure matchmaking. Only Standard is selected by default, but you can also select the No Alliances or Bloodbound Alliances rules.
No Alliances
With this rule, you cannot form alliances with other Bloodsworn.
Bloodbound Alliances
From Phase I through the final phase, all Bloodsworn battle as pairs in a blood pact. Bloodbound Alliances are not abandoned even after entering the final phase, giving these compatriots the chance to revel in a final victory together.
Note: For the release version, we plan to implement a feature that allows you to go into matchmaking already in a blood pact with a friend you invite.

Massive Automaton interview with Miyazaki, touched upon things not mentioned in the IGN interview. Worth a read. I highlighted a few bits below:

https://automaton-media.com/en/interviews/fromsoftwares-the-duskbloods-isnt-the-pvpve-youre-probably-imagining-miyazaki-talks-game-design/

- Project began before ER Nightreign
- You obtain story fragments and special lines of dialogue through the "role" system
- Talking to NPCs in the game's hub advances the story
- Storytelling also through item descriptions
- You can customise character appearances through things such as masks and tattoos
- Character customisation not only abilities and appearance, but also things such as the characters "fate and destiny"
- No guided routing on maps - designed around repeated play and freedom in approach
- Single player mode available but minimal - includes: practice sessions, character customisation and simulated 8 player battles.
- Will have a ranked mode, leaderboards and a seasonal system
- Multiple story endings
- Miyazaki has been playing Culdcept recently and mahjong ... for research lol
- The game is designed to offer many different ways to have fun
- The gradual progression for new players should be to first enjoy the story, and gradually become capable of winning in the process and eventually win more
- They intend to frequently update the game - balancing and expanding the content
- The full release will include complicated roles, once players are able to understand the role system and more complex rules, it will allow the devs to do more things with it as it's an expandable system.

The PvP aspect of the game seems weirdly lacklustre

This is just nightreign but you duel at the end. You pretty much not encouraged to fight other players outside of the designated PvP instances

I really wanted this to be a PvP game
>>
>>578253582
you're discouraged in the sense that it wastes both of your time, but if it's a quick snipe or you steal an objective from them then it's worth it. especially if they're worn down by npcs that you can finish off. and there's sigils for killing other players it seems.

>>578254048

There being multiple endings and story progression based around the character customization and having a mix of that + nightreign is interesting, because going with the Fate Stay Night of it all it's basically like the story is from the view of the servants after they get their memories sent back to the throne of heroes, after a grail war ends. It's a perspective no one's ever tried before


>>578253582
>You pretty much not encouraged to fight other players outside of the designated PvP instances
The invading 9th player is intended to just farm kills as much as possible + there's two sigil quests at a minimum that encourage pvp outside the designated areas, the way they did it in general though I think is a great idea because it encourages engaging with every system the game has to offer

Anons, remember to complain about the arena at the end of the match. We need more arenas that are bigger with more verticality and interesting layouts instead of the circular Elden Shart arena with nothing in it.

What about three bridges that meet in a circle but it's surrounded by gutterlike structures and there's no walls or rails so you're always at risk of falling off or a koth arena that's centered around one building in the middle that you can climb it from inside or outside?

Already confirmed to be getting years of support. You lost and got raped in that order.

It's also not on a highly vulnerable platform like Demon's was or based on things like souls accumulated so the leaderboard shouldn't be as exploitable also

They're doing seasonal resets and shit like that while DeS had a running leaderboard that was basically no different from DS1's book of the guilty so there's that too
>>

>an online leaderboard without cheaters
has there ever been such a thing?
>>
>>578265043
when platforms are new enough to not have save hacking or other exploits, yeah
they just never last, but this kind of ends up being one of the benefits of nintendo jewing the fuck out of every aspect of the switch 2, it makes it a lot harder/take notably longer to get to that point

Switch 2 costs a monthly salary in my country, on the other hand I live with my parents and I have tons of savings …. Maybe I will buy it next year but the game will be already dead most likely
>>
>>578266350
>the game will be already dead
I can still get summoned pretty quickly in chalice dungeons in bloodborne and that game is over 10 years old
The real issue you're likely to face is that, being a pvp focused game, it will eventually be occupied by meta chasing sweatlords
>>
>>578266567
>I can still get summoned pretty quickly in chalice dungeons in bloodborne and that game is over 10 years old
Proof? I keep being told by people here that it’s dead (even though I myself recall being able to play fairly well with others even just a year ago)
>>
>>578266567
they can try to counter pvp sweats by giving a lot less virtue for killing players than say exploring or killing bosses. they can also incentivize more pve in early stages by giving good buffs from a boss or finding certain items. make matches so random that it's very difficult or impossible to find a specific meta for sweats
>>
>>578266829
Its pretty dead in the main game areas, but spelunking activity is lively at all hours
Lotta instant transmissioning mcdonalds wifi chingchongs outside peak burger hours though
>>
>>578267110
>sweats
bad red men will just grief other players for fun even if it costs them the game. the "meta" will be figuring out how to stay in the game until phase 3 while griefing.
>>
>>578267364
Wasn't there something about being able to invade an ongoing 8-man game.
>>
>>578266829
I feel I should mention that it was incredibly dead before the launch of elden ring
What I think happened is some of the millions of new fromsoft fans decided to check out the rest of their library and some decided to stick around
>>
everyone talking about sweats and meta blabla, the game will live or die on the netcode imo. From + Nintendo + WiFi is an insane combo for an always online pvp game
>>
>>578267472
yeah there are invasions but griefing your own game will be next level
>>
I was ambivalent about this game, but after watching the previews I'm looking forward to seeing how all these ideas play out myself.

Just 70 minutes to go...
>>
some of you better stream this shit btw
>>
>>578267156
>>578267738
I guess that makes sense, it’s better off than the older titles at least from what I can see
>>578267859
I’ve seen people mention this before here but very few give it the weight of conversation it deserves. Nintendo didn’t even address these issues back when smashfaggots were bitching about it nonstop years ago and that game was their crown jewel. Maybe they’ll straighten up for Fromsoft’s sake but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Zork because I like his suit and it reminds me of Horace's armor.

I don't believe anything was changed, this is just a different angle. If you zoom in you can see the eye is still the same. It would make zero sense to change the design of a character this late, and for what?

Your brain just filled in the gaps and now your image of the character is different from a clearer view.

Exactly what's happening with DB happened with ER. The first session of the network test on playstation nobody could log in. They gave another session to make up for it, but it still sucked. Looks like it's gonna be the same time for DB's network test too. oh well
>>
They're working on it and they're extending this test an extra 2 hours

>>578272234
Nobody got in

>>578272548
bullshit
>>
>>578272263
They know how many codes went out for the entire thing, they don't necessarily plan for all those people to be online at once during a test
That's kind of the point of doing these so they can figure out what they have to scale up for retail

It's a best-in-class rendition of a rare pose. While there's the obvious appeal of the left sole, I think it's understated how well they've captured the appeal and curvature of the foot viewed on the ankle from behind. It's a rare angle for an up-close picture for a reason, as it's very easy to mess up the perspective and make it blobby and awkward looking.
I think special attention has to be made for the artist's ability to create wrinkles on the sole in a way that subtly enhances the eroticism of the picture without falling into the trap of going overboard and leaning into grosser territory. Those wrinkles add variety to the interior of the sole, allowing such a close up shot to be extremely inviting and pleasant to look at.
The redness on the soles is an extremely important detail that's often overlooked, but can completely transform an image's sex appeal. It's a powerfully enticing natural blush that gets omitted way too often or overdone when used.
On the left side of the image, we can see another underused angle, underside of the small toes viewed from behind. It's my personal favorite in the image, it's enough to drive one to tears, I could reject paradise at its gates for the opportunity to live under them for a thousand years.
It's an easy 10/10, a mountain that has not yet been surpassed and may never be in the future.

NOT the Lady Maria clone that's a boss
NOT the lady with two swords, that's a kin
NOT the lady with the hat and gun, also kin

Yeah lets just recap now

>Albert
>Jan
>Zork

9 so far. The remaining 3 characters would need to be women for an even ratio, which From tends to do, give or take. If there were really going to be this many men then I wish Jan had been a woman. A Victorian-era nightgown would be way more visually appealing than the stupid PJs.

>>578311361
I mean in terms of gameplay its far better than I was expecting. And I actually love the art direction. But come on, From are blatant waifufags. There has to be more? Especially in a gothic horror vampire setting.

You don't have to gain Virtue points or anything, your goal is to just do PvP. Systems like that are something we definitely have planned, and I think for those who that's their itch, hopefully that will scratch it to the extent that you've mentioned.

Bloodborne is extremely impressive for 2015. Miyazaki clearly agrees considering DS3, ER (Abyssal Woods), Nightreign (Duchess) and The Duskbloods are heavily inspired by it.

Bloodborne devs actually went through and 3D modeled bricks and crevices all over. It's crazy. It has a higher poly density than DS3 easily. And rivals ER in most spots.

Bloodborne and DS3 do share some assets, and Bloodborne always gets the higher resolution version. PS4 had excellent memory and bandwidth but a mobile CPU, and Xbox one had bad memory design with the esram and a mobile CPU. Jaguar was weak even back in 2013 due to it having weak single core CPU performance, but AMD could offer nothing better. PS4 uses fast 5500MHz GDDR5 RAM, while the Xbox One uses 2133MHz DDR3 RAM

Each segment of its world benefits from what appears to be tessellation (or costly parallax occlusion mapping), which in conjunction with a displacement map gives the city's rickety brick roads unique juts and divots. The time of day is meant to change so all lights are dynamic

Bloodborne does have a lot of 1024x1024 textures, buuuut does have higher resolution textures for characters, armor, etc. Admittedly, there are many instances of them using a 2048x2048 texture, but it really just depends on how large the surface it was being applied to is

The Doll is found outside the Workshop, in the Hunter's Dream has 4K textures (4096x2048) though PS4 is running at 1080p

Bloodborne had support for screenspace reflections, but only via the debugmenu (SSR is utilized for in sekiro, elden ring, and ac6)

>Jun Into, lead programmer for Bloodborne, DS1, Demon's Souls says, "up until now we've worked in worlds that feature a lot of armour." However, he goes on to describes how PS4 unlocked new options for Bloodborne, where the team "spent a lot of CPU power, [especially] on simulating fabric."

>>
>>578351672
They are, whenever someone says something about re-using DeS or BB assets just assume they are stupid, there is a reason they remade all basic weapon animations between DeS and DaS, as anything created for those two games belongs to Sony and would bring legal trouble to From.

The exceptions are free assets used within DeS or BB.

it's...CUT CONTENT *GAG* *RETCH* from PROJECT BEAST...the very first leaked trailer.

There's a throne for the first player that finds Project Beast in Bloodborne, but until then, the throne is mine. Pic related is literally me with FROM right now.

Starting from DaS, a lot because those belong to From and Bamco was just the international publisher.

Most of DaS3 weapon animations are from DaS, and eventually they got into ER. Basic movement like opening doors, ladders, jumping, etc... are also reused. Enemies you should be able to tell, dogs, rats, wolves, skellies, basilisks. And while not re-use you can tell a lot of ER armor, weapons models and skills are reskinned and slightly modified from DaS3, same thing with some environments like villages, giant tree branches, castle textures, etc...ER is very much a super mod of DaS3 in some ways.

The exceptions are also obvious, DeS and BB because sony money and ip (and assets) belongs to them, Sekiro is mostly new assets and AC6.

From just raw footage there is some reuse in DB (just look at those sewer rats and you will recognize them instantly), but there is also a considerable amount of new stuff. Im waiting for the NT to fucking happen already so we can have a good look at the Bloodsword weapon animations to tell if they are new like Nightfairers exclusive animations for their "main" weapons or just standard ER ones.

Fromsoftware internal code names for their games:

Dark Souls: FRPG
Dark Souls 2: FRPG2
Bloodborne: SPRJ
Dark Souls 3: FDP
Sekiro: NTC
Elden Ring: GR (Great Rune)
Armored Core 6: FNR
Nightreign: CL
The Duskbloods: PHX

We only know for sure that FRPG = FantasyRPG (developer build was called FantasyRPG.exe). The rest we just guess at. NTC is probably “next ten chu”, SPRJ is probably “Sony project”. GR is likely “great rune”. Hard to guess at the others.

I think that is just the nature of the setup. Everyone is obligated to have a melee option. Tough there is magical projectiles. Jan shoots fire from a magic stone and Samir throws soul birds. Probably worried that a pure caster would get torn apart since everyone can jump over buildings and run at the speed of sound.

Geez let me think of a few.
>armor
The most obvious one is Fire Prelate being built from Smough's set, the enemy is even a retrain from Smough.
>weapon
Obviously the Crozier the Prelates use, but if you want a different one the Storm Ruler is a modified Swordspear from Nameless King
>skills
I mean do i even need to go in detail on this one? Stance, Quickstep, Lion's Claw, etc...
>enviroments
You know the shack models? From undead settlement, same for small villages like albinauric one, tree branches from the Ariandel dlc in the roots of the Erdtree, though i cant think of a castle texture off the top of my head.
>ER is far and away much better looking and better animated than DS3.
I agree with the former as DaS3 suffers from its art direction choice of "everything is gray" while ER isnt afraid of using colors, the latter i would say they are about the same.

Souls technical facts

Bloodborne was made on Windows 7. BB official screenshots have Win64-sprj captured using a Win32 build of it

Dark Souls 3 had a closed door demo at E3 2015 with curtains and a smoke machine (walk through the fog gate). Miyazaki said they were building the game on Windows 7 and DirectX11, and that he took into consideration some Bloodborne feedback was that it was too hard in the starting areas

Bluepoint had original Demon’s Souls to PS4 Pro and had it running at 60fps but Sony didn’t want to release that build. PS5 remake only.

Demon's Souls Remake for PlayStation 5 has performance configuration settings on the disc for running the game on PlayStation 4. None for PC. There are references elsewhere to the Windows build.

You basically run around and collect shit/power up like Nightreign, then phase 2&3 commences and you have to claim landmarks and thats the part where pvp will actually gain you points, and phase 4 it's a 4 player FFA.
If that sounds appealing to you then yeah. My first impression of it is that besides from being ran on an underpowered nintendo "console" that its a quality game with lots of polish. I'm not into pvp though so I probably won't buy the full game

It’s hard to say since this is a new project and occurrence for both companies so we don’t really have a metric to look on. If you’re really curious I’d recommend waiting a bit and seeing what the playerbase looks like in 1-2 months.

I think the FROM oldfags (especially streamers) won't enjoy playing this because they will be targeted in every match. Invaderfags can't handle being ganked in previous games and this game is specifically catering to gankers.

Remember to team against and single out zork users, as he's the redditchungus character.

I did this for bloodborne with a ps4 and I'm doing it for the network test and the actual release.

I came in second that round because the dino grab has an insane ds2 tier hitbox and you can get doublehit by Samir's ranged attack before you can get up after being knocked down
Leave it to the indian to ruin everything
I fucking love this game though holy shit
>>
>>578369823
I've placed first every match and I just kill mooks and pick shit up, not sure what to do otherwise since flame virtue is too low/sparse and bosses are a waste of time

Trang seems to be the worst blud by far
She has way more commitment to her attacks than anyone besides zork for no apparent reason
Her stealth move taking four whole seconds to get off makes it utterly useless

I'll take that as a "needs improvement"
Anyone have any suggestions for an OP? A pastebin, maybe?

Her stealth move is fine, you're just trying to use it like duchess and not for actually sneaking around
>>
>>578373258
there's two tiers of the smaller beastborn, just kill the smaller of the two towards the end of phase 1 and only go after the big trespassers in phase 2 or onward
we almost got a big trespasser in phase 1 but one of the players chickened out and ran after they died when it was already at 25% HP
It was a Layla too so fuck knows why

The ritual zones need to be way smaller, especially in phase 3. I've had multiple times where I'd just be running around and don't see anyone, and the verticality doesn't help.
>>
>>578374979

thats just people being clueless since its the first test phase imo
>>
So there’s only one test today right
>>
>>578375701
Next one in 12 hours.

The handheld performance feels way too behind docked, but it also didn't feel like it had the same trademark juddery FromSoft frame time hitching you'd usually see, so I think the VRR display is masking some things (for the better).

Zork? Yeah, that's why I go for him everytime I see him.

End duel? Team on him.
Helping me fight a boss and sticks around? Kill him.
See him on the map? Assuming it's not phase 1, follow and kill him.

Fat nigga in the chariot is my goat and if you level him enough he basically gets Mohg's weapon art.

I was in a match with some guy that had 99 virtue while I had 56 and he still lost to me LOL. Stance breaks against players give a shitton of HP. I didn't die once.

Zork is fun. His CR2s can stunlock the werewolves and his moveset is good at rollcatching.

Careful you don't feed me free Max HP by being a retard. He's one of the only Sworn who can get paid for killing you even outside rituals.

>>578376906
He will bull over mid size bosses. Lets kill werewolves at a much lower level

I admit I haven't won a game yet, but how much of shitter must one be to get culled in the first wave?
You basically have to get no points at all

bruh

stance breaks on players feels fucking immaculate in this game

I think the best path forward is more customization of fight. We already have shit like doubles, no alliance, ect. Let person add or take away some randomness. Maybe a round with no Kin. Perhaps an option that ensures the final round is a 1v1. Some that probably won't work if it's a match with randoms but it definitely should be possible in a lobby among friends.
>>
Posted this in /v/ but im reposting here
Sigils should be obligatory to have but not to clear and they should reward more virtue if you actually go out of your way to clear them cause you just lose a fuckton of time only to be kicked out for not getting more virtue in easier ways.
Rounds should be longer and have more than one event.
>>
Possibly might need a longer round 1. That's when you do a lot of early leveling, and find a kin. repulses can be hard and a time sink in the first round. Most of the time my 1st round virtue is the flame chair. Or maybe I'm just unlucky and a shitter. I've seen people pull 30+ in the first round. I've never even hit 20 and the closest I got was from stumbling on 4 flame chairs in a row.
>>
>can't report bugs
Woah thanks Miyazaki.
>>
>>578377865
>I've never even hit 20
just kill all the small time enemies, combined with a chair or two and you're good
>>
>>578377904
You do it on the page you signed up on anon
>>
>>578377865
I wonder if 3 rounds is even necessary. Two rounds at 15 minutes would probably make things feel a little more relaxed and allow for more time to be distributed to the ritual zone.

My issue right now is that the ritual zone feels kinda tacked on at the end and sometimes ends up being a ghost town if people weren't actively engaging with it. With more times people could at least finish up what they were doing and head over.

I've never played bloodborn so I don't know if this plays similar but definitely doesn't feel like Elden ring and nightreign. Not even like Duchess.
>>
>>578378174
The dashing and ranged attack spamming is very reminiscent of bloodborne pvp
