Bloodborne Official Artworks

Product Information

But the way this is written is that, in his theorizing sections, he makes assumptions which start small, but build on each other and continue to get larger and eventually build a grand story/theory, and you believe it because it's the natural conclusion to the small assumptions of before. By the end of the book when Redgrave dropped the grand conclusion I was mind-blown. Future Press gone behind the scenes with Bloodborne's creators to unearth every secret hidden within the mysterious city of Yharnam. Your hunt through the streets of Yharnam will be your most exciting and rewarding journey yet, and the road will be hard. But fear not! These guides are your key to mastering the merciless challenges and navigating the darkest depths of the city. [ More] This book is a very good compilation of the themes and lore of the games, which remains the richest and most complex of FromSoftware works to date. Apart from the details on some bosses and enemies (which admittedly could use more attention apart from a single image) that you might not be able to see in game, all of that is present to quench your curiosity. First off, I appreciate how this provides a basis for diving into the lore of the game, and the research that went behind this. I still think reading this is worthwhile, just for the facts/evidence sections alone, as it puts some parts of the game into context.

I think this is one of the books about Bloodborne I've enjoyed the most, probably because it focuses solely on the lore, which in itself is absolutely fascinating. It was really well organized and the structure of every chapter, starting with facts and then (possible) interpretation was perfect. I loved the whole parallel with blood composition, lymphocytes and pathogens at the end, that was new for me, in spite of the fact I've already read quite a lot about the game. Bloodborne captivated me because it encompassed all the things I either love seeing in movies, reading about in books or as my points of interest in general (Lovecraftian and Gothic horror elements, Gothic architecture and Victorian setting etc.). Old architecture always sparked my interest so I spent half of my gaming time simply admiring the work that went into designing the game's Victorian architecture, streets, benches, castles and even streetlamps (I'll get one of those for my house). This could have easily been a dry and dull helping of Bloodborne interpretation, but Redgrave writes with so much fervour, compassion, and sheer gumption that this really stands up as its own complete and satisfying work of art.

I have loved the game but missed pretty much everything about its history, characters, connections and the deeper lore (BB starts as a gothic horror game, but eventually turns into a fully-fledged cosmic horror). The worlds you traverse in From Software's titles are littered with items, enemies, corpses and so on, and it may seem as if they are all randomly placed, but nothing here is random. Everything is hand placed and tells just a little bit more of the world you're visiting and the story you're taking part in. This is the real reason why people hold games like Dark Souls in such a lofty regard. It isn't a bunch of morons wanking off the hard difficulty or anything like that; it's the fact that the story and world within has been crafted with such care and passion, the likes of which is very rarely seen in games, if at all. In the realm of fan theory and the investigative efforts and research required for its creation, the Paleblood Hunt is second to none. As someone who loves content like this (I was a huge fan of the Mass Effect Indoctrination Theory), I applaud Redgrave very much for his work in this masterpiece of a game. Note: This collection is mostly for research purposes if you enjoy this art please make sure to buy Bloodborne Official Artworks and support its creators. Thank you.

Bloodborne Official Artworks" which is compiled with the pictures from 'Bloodborne' was released on February 26th in Japan. Not only it included the artworks from the main story, but also the 'The Old Hunters.' While yes, you have to play the game for any of this to make sense or really mean anything to you (it very much reads like an essay, not like a novella) what Redgrave has pulled off here is nothing short of creative genius.You see, I had found some time ago, the digital copy of ' "' Bloodborne Official Artworks", all in image format (which I also converted to PDF so you can read if you like, just a small bonus honestly), and also the first Bloodborne Collector's Edition Guide (Admittedly, this one has a much lower resolution, but it's good nonetheless). This is a fan-based exploration of the lore in Bloodborne (a video game for PlayStation 4). Even more than Dark Souls, Bloodborne is almost never explicit about anything and understanding what's going on in the game world is a matter of meticulous reading of item descriptions, paying attention to the architecture, enemy placement and chatting to the occasional NPCs. In regards to people being disappointed with the fact that it's not a hardcover and that they expected more content - I would personally agree. However, for what is provided, it is a worthy addition to a Bloodborne collector. FromSoftware was founded on November 1, 1986, and developed productivity software for the first several years of their existence. They released their first video game, titled King's Field, as a launch title for the PlayStation in 1994. The initial King's Field did not see a release in North America, although a 1995 sequel would later be released in North America bearing the same title, which was released as King's Field II in Japan. After releasing a third title in that series, FromSoftware moved on to release Echo Night as well as Shadow Tower in 1998. IGN would later note that the latter was "effectively a King's Field follow-up" as it shared many of the gameplay conventions of its brethren. Also during this time FromSoftware would release Armored Core, the first in a mech game series which would go on to spawn many sequels. This really is a great art book. You get clear depictions of every monster, every weapon, and every environment in this game, all dripping with spooky, eldritch ooze. The art is simply amazing.

Der Kauf zu diesem Artbook rät eigentlich nur der Sammlertrieb und die Liebe zum Spiel selbst. Merkwürdigerweise werden in Spielen für die neuen Konsolen kaum noch freischaltbare Bonis wie Artworks angeboten, obwohl sich viele Gamer für Game Art interessieren. Da es nur wenige Artworks zu Bloodborne im Netz gibt, lohnt sich die Anschaffung für die jenigen, die mehr davon sehen wollen. Ich werde in der nächsten Zeit öfters hinein schauen und wahrscheinlich wird es mich dazu animieren, wieder Bloodborne zu spielen. As a literary comparison, I would reference Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun series. Indeed, the only reason I discovered those books was by googling "books like Dark Souls" and thank goodness I did, because they became some of my favorite novels. I often hear a lot of people say they've read this series a few different times and manage to get a different view of it each time. It's that kind of compelling prose and intrigue, where the book expects the reader to take an active part in figuring things out on their own, that you can see in these games, inasmuch as such a method of storytelling can exist in video games. The book clearly divides between fact and personal conjecture, and it is interesting to see how the puzzle pieces (from item descriptions, forgotten notes, NPC details) fit together to form a cohesive narrative. Jeg har aldri tidligere lest en bok om et spill, men det at jeg nå har gjort akkurat dette sier noe om hvor kompliserte Hidetaka Miyazakis historiefortellinger er. Miyazakis verdener er detaljerte og møysommelig bygd opp, men fortellingene inneholder minimalt med handlingsforklaringer. Informasjonen gis gjennom tilfeldige møter med karakterer, gjenstandsbeskrivelser og henslengte notater. For å skjønne historien man deltar i, må man virkelig _studere_ det tilgjengelige materialet, men selv det er ikke nok – Miyazki gir oss med vilje ikke tilstrekkelig med informasjon. Man må også dedusere (gjette) seg frem til et mulig handlingsforløp. I'm bearing great news as I have recently got my hands on the entire digital copy of The Old Hunters Collector's Edition guide.

The study done to explore the lore of one of the greatest game ever made is just phenomenal. 150 hours+ of gameplay and I understood so little of the lore. Redgrave has made it so much easier for Bloodborne players to explore various facets of the lore. And now with Sekiro's connection to it, there is still much to explore. It expects you know the world, character and overall story and spends no time on it. Which means it will be incomprehensible to the people who never played Bloodborne (and don't want to / can't because of it's difficulty, length, PS4, or whatever). If you're that person and want to know what Bloodborne is about, this won't help in the slightest :-(. I love this game, and I love it's visual style. Gothic Victorian exaggerations that wouldn't be out of place in a Dracula anime; connections between werewolves, lunar cycle, blood, and birth; and a Lovecraftian twist that I actually like more than his actual stories.
