We love it when SCEA boss Scott Rohde talks; he pulls off effortlessly cool better than we ever could. As such, we’re not necessarily surprised to hear the likeable executive describe From Software’s upcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive Bloodborne as “off the charts” – even though we’re not entirely sure what that means. We assume that it’s a good thing?
“The way that it looks – just off the charts to me,” he beamed on the latest PlayStation Blogcast, presumably while making hip hand gestures that wouldn’t look out of place in a rap video. “It has, I've said this before... There's a certain, like, wetness to that game. I don't know what other word to use. It just feels like everything is dripping and oozing with whatever it is. It's water, it's blood, it's whatever it is – and it just looks gorgeous.” You’re really selling us here, Scott.
Seriously, though, we can understand what he’s getting at. The game’s visuals are gorgeous – stunning, even – but they’re not particularly pleasant at all. This isn’t entirely unexpected, however, considering that the title is all about a vile disease, which has consumed the lives of hundreds of lowly travellers, each, ironically, in search of a potent medical potion. Don't you just hate it when that happens?

They also said evil within had to be turned off because it's too scary.
Lame hype by Sony
Excited for this!! It's gonna be an exciting gen!! Nobody saw this game coming. We all expect the GOW's, uncharteds, etc, but bloodborne is the reason sooo many people are investing in ps4... We know Sony has a knack for creating exciting new IP's. No pun intended. Lol.
Never understood the desire for blood and gore. Seeing this stuff was never appealing to me. This statement should puzzle me, but I know the masses crave video games with as much brutal, disgusting content as the human mind can conceive.
@THEundying27 what are you blabbering about?
Since English is not my native language, I clicked on the link thinking "what the hell does 'off the chart' means??" Well... It seems I'm not the only one lol
But I must agree that the game does look awesome, even though I'm not much into the "die, die, die..." formula
