Bloodborne Official Artworks

Product Information

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.

I was happy to finally get this artbook as Bloodborne is my favorite game of all time and served as my entry point to From Software's dark (and punishing) fantasy worlds. From Dark Souls to Elden Ring, each game had something new to offer me in terms of combat difficulty, fantasy settings and memorable bosses (I'm currently playing Sekiro, love the medieval Japanese setting). 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 such, it is easy to miss things and even if you don't, turning all that into a cohesive picture takes a lot of time and effort. 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). 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).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 :-(. Each chapter is mostly independent. The final one is pure speculation building on everything from the previous chapters. 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. So I looked into it more and I was right, and this isn't a new issue. From when the document had originally dropped, to when it was revised, and long after, people have disagreed with a large part of the document, and for good reason.

An intriguing read for those who have finished the game with many unanswered questions and an avid fascination with the worldbuilding and lore. 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. 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.

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. 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. 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. Die abgebildeten Texte sind der Produktbeschreibung her in Englisch. Die Texte sind aber an sich nicht besonders. Wie bei jedem anderen Game Artbook auch, werden vereinzelt markante Sprüche aus dem Spiel zitiert. Wer hier Hintergrundinformationen oder eine offizielle Zusammenfassung zum Spiel erwartet, wird enttäuscht. Man könnte also genauso gut, sich die originale japanische Edition besorgen. Für alles andere gibt es ja das Lösungsbuch. 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.
