Seems like BB will be the only PS4 exclusive for the time being according to this Video their future IPs will be multiplatform.]
it doesnt mean exactly that, it doesnt mean anything besides the fact that they will release few titles across all the platforms. BB2 will be ps4 exclusive, its almost certain that new stuff for ps VR will also be ps4 exclusive, meanwhile their new IP which miyazaki is working on will be multiplatform. They are just branching out.
Other thing - I love soulsborne games but when you take a while and think about from software - they made tons of that kind of games, clones of themselves, and it took them thaaat long to finally polish the formula, I`m a little bit afraid of the quality of the new IP if it wont be made in that same formula (ie stamina based, cryptic lore, mostly malee combat). With all the love for their stuff its hard to not admit that they arent one trick pony (Bob ) and making it work took them their sweet time, spanning across multiple titles (few kings fields, demons, few souls and bb).

I don't remember any of those above screenshot locations.
The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.
2nd and 3rd is basically better looking high wall of lothric, last one is kiln of the first flame, which in game looks nothing like that, detailed, atmosphere dense, screenshot.
screen comparison in the spoiler tag, nothing major but someone might consider worth hidding it:

I guess its from the last area, tho in that comparison it looks so much better, like world is literally bending/falling apart which suits the game mood in that area, pity that in-game it looks just bland and feeling is "oh, ok, lets move on"
Yea, in comparison the status quoe looks very bland.
It's not a downgrade in that sense though, as it still looks good.
Seems some designer thought it would look better like it now is? As i really doubt the previous scene would take such a big hit on performance.
Also you are only a few minutes at that location anyways. So even if it would decrease performance by a bit, who cares.
Also that promo with swords in a little pool of water was completely removed.
That seems to be Iudex Gundyr.
I think he means the missing glowing swords in the ground, not that the boss is missing.
The concept has been transferred to another location, but the swords are not magic anymore. I think it's in the swamp.

I bet the consoles couldn't take it so they abandoned it and didn't bother to add it only for PC because they don't care.
Who knows could be an optional first person mode or a separate title since there is no plural in japanese the "title" in the video probably means more then one game, also FROM made first person games before:

They could easily pull it off on PC, dont know about the consoles. Anyway, hard to not admit that location in that early shot looks just better

where? could you elaborate on that? didnt see anything simillar
I don't think I remember this incorrectly, I'll take a look into my screenshots and see if I can find anything. I don't wanna start up the game right now.

I highly doubt we will see a BB 2 or another Sony exclusive (Non VR) game for the time being while it did sell pretty good for an exclusive their multiplatform titles make them way more money now.
As for PSVR for VR games exclusivity yeah that could be but we'll see i guess.
The BB exclusivity deal was made under very different circumstances then we have now, Sony was in need of an exclusive system seller (Bloodborne began development in 2012 before the PS4 was announced) and FROM didn't have the financial security back then they have now after Kadokawa bought them so they couldn't exactly say no if Sony waves a few millions in to their face.
It's very different now Sony doesn't really need to spend millions to sell their Hardware anymore since they won the console war and FROM can take a few risks and make more money with multiplatform games since they have the financial backing of Kadokawa.
I partially agree on that, either way afaik about how dev teams work, BB2 is probably already in development by some part of the team, it just doesnt work like - lets make game X, ok it sold well so lets make game Y now. I bet that new IP was already in early development stage for a time now, same with VR stuff and that some actions were already taken during the "contract" phase on BB1, for example some "ifs" in regards of how good BB1 would sell and so on.
Basically I think that some parts of FROM are already working or are in conceptual phase with new IP, new BB, VR stuff, some smaller project and maybe something even more

The fucking hacker is at it again. It's amazing how one guy is able to keep me from enjoying the game...
I hope he dies in a car fire. Yes, I do. I wish death onto him because of a videogame. Sue me.
You could switch to the Revolt version for now if you still want to play online you will only be able to play with other people using yarr version though.
Although Ultra greatswords are barely passable in this game. I always played with one but finished this game with Dark Sword +10... this game requires speed compared to 1 and 2 imo

The Farron one is one of my favourite weapons in the entire series now. It really isn't overrated. It's a fast greatsword that gives you mobilty over absurd damage, it's really awesome. Also, Black Knight Greatsword shits on the normal one and has a way cooler moveset.
Black Knight (ultra) Greatsword is pretty good but a bit too slow so I usually use the normal one, can bit multiple times in a row to make up for the lower damage too if the opportunity presents itself.
(Get too greedy or what to call it with getting that last hit in and you're usually the one that gets hit instead heh.)

same here, finshed everything with dark sword +10, after being mainly an ultra greatsword user in the last 2 games, theyre useless in this game.
even a fully upgraded lothric knight greatsword doesnt dish out as much dps as a dark sword, while using up way too much stamina for the damage.
yeah. I could do 7 slashes with dark sword +10 (410 dps rating) and only 3 with ultra lothric ultra greatsword rated for over 600 dps.
Dark sword did more real damage and I could slash more often.
Also I found there to be barely any armor for heavy build in ds2, so I felt forced to play fast roll character later on.
