Select press recently received a behind closed doors look at PlayStation 4 gothic horror Vampyr, but fans weren't given any new gameplay footage to feast on. Fortunately, a few precious seconds of off-screen action from the upcoming role-playing release have leaked online – though the quality's not especially great.
There's a disclaimer at the bottom of the screen noting that this is all pre-alpha stuff, so don't expect it to be anywhere near to finished yet. Regardless, we hate to say it, but there's definite Bloodborne inspiration here – sorry! – as the outing's blood-thirsty lead swings a hatchet around just like the Saw Cleaver from the popular PS4 exclusive.
If you're eager to know a little more about this dreary romp through London, then we recently put together a feature outlining its more intricate points, which you can find through here.

@MadAussieBloke This is true, bring on Dark Souls 3! Will be pleasently surprised if Vampyr can live up to that level of quality. We shall see.
Dark Souls has almost ruined video games for me, in that after souls/bb all other games feel like third-best. No game has gotten 'fair' difficulty the way they have - which is to say difficulty without being cheap and gimicky or ridiculous. Heck, going into the Witcher after DS2 and BB is probably why it seemed so dull . They are fair and respects the player. I hope more games try to copy them...
(I guess I keep going back to Borderlands, too)
I'd say I can't wait to sink my teeth into this game, but I really want to see if I can get through it without killing anyone!
@Mega-Gazz Have to agree, after pouring countless hours learning the intricacies of combat and game play in BloodBorne, the combat in Witcher 3 felt downright boring to me most of the time, and to easy. Still a great game nonetheless.
This game is becoming a little long in the tooth...
Yeah, there is a real Bloodborne feel to the gameplay shown - but I say bring it on! Also, Dontnod's writing is usually fantastic, so I'm intrigued to see where they go with their narrative.
Always prefer a stealth playthrough if the option is given. Besides, I couldn't get into the Souls games myself personally.
Nothing wrong with Bloodborne-inspired gameplay but I'd also generally expect some stealth in vampire games in this kind of setting. Still excited to find out more either way though!
Oh and can we please have Simon Templeman voice the main character? Pretty please?
