More Bloodborne Info: PlayStation 4 Power Proved Essential

Going into next week's Bloodborne launch, you can't claim you're unprepared.

Developer From Software hasn't been shy about sharing details and footage for the upcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive, and the latest batch of info comes courtesy of a recent interview conducted by Multiplayer and Dualshockers (which you can see in its entirety here ).

Masaaki Yamagiwa, a producer for Sony Japan, which assisted From Software in the development process, first talked about the power of Sony's latest console. We've heard it before, too: The game in question is only possible thanks to PS4's capability:

There are plenty of things that we were able to do with the PS4 that we haven’t been able to do before. One example is the weapons that transform in the middle of the game, they extend, they retract, they change in all these different ways and they do it in a very graceful way, lots of different actions and motions and we wouldn’t have been able to do that without the power of the PS4."

He added that the beautiful environments we'll traverse are "directly connected to each other," which is another benefit of a powerful machine. If you see the interview, you'll hear about a few more details (some of which we've learned before). It's interesting about that transforming weapons, isn't it? Wonder how that will impact the gameplay, and if we have full control over such transformations.

Bloodborne releases on March 24 in the US and March 27 in the UK.

Bloodborne Co-Op, PvP Details Found

If Bloodborne proves too difficult, turn to your friends. Or, if you want to show off your prowess…beat on your friends.

More information concerning the co-op and player vs. player modes in the upcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive have emerged, thanks to the game's Japanese website and a translation by Gematsu .

Up to three players can join forces in an online co-op venture, so feel free to invite a few buddies and go a-questin'. If you don't know anyone who wants to play, you can search for random players to join the party, as you did in the Dark Souls games. However, one difference is that players can exchange passwords to find specific co-op games, and play with friends if they so desire.

As for PvP, it should sound familiar: You can choose to invade the worlds of other players, and you also have to look out for said invasions. Invasions can happen when playing co-op, by the way. Check the link above for even more multiplayer info.

Bloodborne will release on March 24 in the US and three days later in the UK.

New Screens And Details For Bloodborne

You can't wait for Bloodborne , right?

The hotly anticipated PlayStation 4 exclusive recently got pushed back a month (it's now set for late March), so maybe you need a consolation prize.

You can find it over at the PlayStation Blog where Producer Masaaki Yamagiwa posted up some new information and several new screenshots.

One of those images shows off a new character named Gyula, who is an "old veteran hunter said to possess amazing skill." Nobody has laid eyes on Gyula in a long time so he kinda remains a mystery. Then there's the Cainhurst castle, a strange, dark location full of secrets and dangers. "What happened to the family that ruled this castle for many generations?" You can also check out the new weapon, the transforming cane, which can turn into a whip that reaches across greater distances.

Hope you're up for the challenge!
