the argument against a sequel that i have heard the most is that bloodborne is perfect as it is and a sequel would only dilute the game. But here is my counterpoint.
The most bloodborne of bloodborne, was the dlc released after, it has more better content than the main game in a tight package.
So if that was made as a improvement with things learned from the base game, why won't a sequel improve on that? If made with care and passion, that is the important thing, not just to make sequel to make more money.

PS5 will be out soon so I assume if they were going do a bloodborne 2 they'd wait until after then, not to mention the sekiro game that's coming out soon made from the same company, not enough time to do both I assume.
A lot of good games don't get sequel so don't hold your breath. I'm sure sony would rather have their exclusives as well, maybe Fromsoft doesn't want that.

How so?
Pvp was shit.
The challice dungeons got boring quick and had nothing to offer in terms of items like most of the game.
How many weapons were there again? half of those were locked behind dlc too.
Every creature looks like the same hairy beast copy pasted over and even copy pasted into ds3.
The only good thing it has was the victorian theme (or whatever that's called) that they used and the connected world, which was implemented on accident and would be removed in the sequel like they did in DS because chinks are subhumans who made every good game on accident while trying to copy the western ones.

Bloodborne 2 should have a desert theme, think egypt during the early early 1900's. Exploring large tombs, sunken cities in the desert.
The chalice dungeons should be more integral to the game and expanded.
It has an aesthetic similarity to the Victorian without being the same thing over again.

People are way too obsessed with comparing things to reddit. I get that it's a thing that comes from the old days of cuckchan, but it's a stupid idea nonetheless and definitely a fallacy.

Bloodborne is just Dark souls all over again. Wanting a 6th Dark Souls game is dumb. The formula has been done to death and it's not improved on anything that really needed fixing. A 6th Souls game would simply be more of the same, with all the same problems but a higher budget. Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne were both repetitive and a drag to play because the formula was just made faster not deeper.
From should make a new Armoured Core game with VR tech. Put you in the actual cockpit and do something new and interesting.

There's no logical reason for that with a perfectly suitable, on-topic post, unless it's out of some sort of ire for the thread and/or topic.
>didn't expect it to get answers
That's no reason to sage, and using sage just makes it more likely to not be answered.
>didn't want to give the thread visibility
Again, there's no logical reason for this, unless he was trying to prevent the topic from being discussed. Preventing a post from being visible is also exactly the function of Reddit downvotes.
I think what you fail to understand is that the downvote function of Reddit isn't just a "I don't like this" button. The site actively uses upvotes and downvotes to rank posts and determine their visibility. That's why it's considered so cancerous, here, as it allows Reddit users to hide away any truths and opinions that they disagree with.

From's VR game has some BB easter eggs which has fueled the fan theories. The big one is that Bloodborne 2 is happening and will either be some Mayan/Aztec inspired or Celtic.

Bloodborne is perfect the way it is in terms of game play/ lore content adding a sequel would fuck up the mystery that makes the occult themes and atmosphere compelling. Less is sometimes more. That doesn't mean Fromsoft cant make another game with the same game mechanics and a similar aestetic which would be a spiritual successor. Just don't tie the plot and lore in with the original. Dark Souls 2 was a mistake. Every game should have been independent of its progenitor so that the canvas was clean for a cohesive albeit fractured and incomplete image to be painted. Having something proceeding that process becomes a dead weight that bogs down what Hidetaka Miyazaki is good at as a game director. In fact that message about game creation as parallel through the metaphor of painting was the entire team of Dark Souls 3.

Bloodborne is one of my favourite games and how do you do it without it being a 'it happened… again!'?
Maybe pull a final fantasy and set it somewhere else, maybe pull a straight at the mountains of madness inspired story but you can't really make a game set as a hard sequel without retreading the same ground. The old ones reach a point of evolution that lead to sterility and craved children, pthumerians lured them in and abused their blood which the old ones cursed. They died out and yharnamites dug them up leading to a religion and the events of bloodborn. How do you extend that without making the same events occur again? we've been down that road with DS3 and it sucked mad dick.

It's why you'll see a sequel to advertise the PS5 and every retarded Soulsnigger inside and outside this thread will get in line to get one.
Unlike Gravity Daze, Souls appeals to the Westcuck normalfag so Sony will likely fund another one as a launch title for their shit AMD APU.
You'll see a sequel and it will have their stench one way or the other.

Honestly the souls normalfag thing seems to be a pc deal actually. It all started with the pc port, /v/ had a good laugh at 'artificial difficulty' spiking on google and that was the audience bamco actively marketed the 'hardest game ever' meme to.
There are obviously going to be normalfags that play it on consoles but in this series case they are by comparison far rarer the more autistic userbase. Something about Dark Souls 1 brought the pc autists out the woodwork like no other game beyond maybe minecraft.

046b4e No.15919961
The reason that there won't be a Bloodborne 2 is the same reason that there is no Demon's Souls 2. Because Sony doesn't contract franchises or IPs, they contract single games that help to sell units. Sony owns the rights to Demon's Souls, and they own the rights to Bloodborne. They don't want a Bloodborne 2, they don't want a Demon's Souls 2. Miyazaki enjoyed working on Demon's so much that he created the Dark Souls IP, which Bandai Namco published (but do not own). Bandai Namco gained insight from helping From make the Souls games, and so they created the derivative game Code Vein which is coming in 2019.
Miyazaki decided to experiment with the formula and change the way that leveling up works in Bloodborne, which he then decided to experiment with further in the upcoming game Sekiro. FromSoft has partial ownership to Bloodborne, and Sony has partial. It takes both companies to make a Bloodborne sequel. Both companies have the power to veto a sequel.
Neither company are interested in making a followup. Also just a note, the original intention of Bloodborne was to be what Code Vein has become, a Vampire game. It was supposed to be a rendition of Bram Stohker's Dracula, but in the end it became a Werewolf/Lovecraft game and the only Vampire in the game is a covenant leader that requires zero actual interaction between the player and said covenant leader beyond agreeing to join their covenant, greatly reducing the role of said leader and covenant.
Not everything needs a fucking sequel, though. Movies for example used to be a pretty normal storytelling format, you made a movie and you told a complete story. Nowadays everyone wants to make movies an ongoing cinematic universe and every movie has to leave a million dangling threads (that NEVER EVER EVER get addressed) to tease the possibility of sequels. Video games too used to be about being a well-contained experience, and now everyone wants everything to be an IP and turn the unique and the amazing into same old same old with sequelitis.

It will likely do less than Souls as Souls has the brand name to carry it and fanboys. Sekiro is much more of a straight up action game and some Souls fans haven't even branched out to games such as DMC, Bayo, Ninja Gaiden etc. so it will be a different game. However, it will likely play just the same as a Souls game, light and heavy attacks, dodge button, blocking, parrying etc. with the neat little gimmick of your shadow and stealth stuff.
2b670d No.15920461
Prequel DLC that lets you play as member of early Byrgenwerth could be potentially interesting. It would demystify BB1 for sure but I would like to see Fromsoft trying to make game about descending into madness in more gory details.
That being said I would rather play spiritual successor of Bloodborne with no direct ties to the lore. They probably can't trick us thrice with demon souls throwback but BB did introduce genuinely interesting combat mechanics and boss concepts so it could work.
38bea0 No.15926629
I’ve heard a lot of people mention a South American style take on BB and honestly I think it would be pretty cool. A whole blood god sacrificial story plus ancient aliens being introduced would be pretty fucking sweet. Plenty of room in there to add crazy monsters and mutated sacrifices plus half mad worshipers.
