from the leaked trailer in the OP
I did not notice it, will watch again

EDIT: OMG, did not notice this new extended version of the video !!!!!! So amazing !!
from the leaked trailer in the OP
The background video (Dark Souls 2) really contrasts what was lost from Demon's Souls and what will be regained in (and surpassed by) Bloodborne and that is the darkness and horror aspects. Dark Souls and especially number 2 are very high fantasy.Nice lengthy video discussing a recent interview and thoughts on the game:

MUST WATCH! Lot's of interesting titbits like Sony approached them in 2012 to make this game.

I think he's blocking with the Shotgun in the left hand and Sawcleaver in the right. Could be wrong though!There's another where he blocks with the sawcleaver in the left hand. Edit: At 1:06 - I think he's two-hand blocking with it

- Wants to get away from metal armor. Metal armor gives the sense that you're well protected. Cloth armor is better suited to the Victorian error because in the 19th century no one really wore that kind of armor. More of a feeling of vulnerability resulting in more proactive combat.
- Bloodborne is a spiritual successor to Demon's Souls in the same way Demon's Souls was to Kings Filed.
- Evoke the era of Jack the ripper, Gothic/Victorian feel. Aiming for atmosphere different from high fantasy seen in Souls series. Going back to roots, Demon's/Kings Field levels of darkness.
- Strategy is going to be more important.
- Wants to emphasize the human element in the game. The darkness/fantasy element comes from the people/characters rather than the darkness derived from basic storyline elements.
- There will be very few 'sane' people. The only time you're really going to see people (sane people without disease) is when they come out at night to conduct beast hunts. It's then you're more likely to cross paths with them.
- During the day when they're (sane NPC's) not trying to rid the city of infected, they're hiding behind closed doors, in their homes.
- Implies even the sane are dealing with their own problems, so player interaction with them will not necessarily always be amicable.
- The bulk of the game will take place around the city, but there are going to be opportunities to visit towns outside of the city. Doesn't want to give away too many details on this.
- The same weapons used by the towns people (the sane NPC's), are going to be the same weapons the player can use.
- Won't go into much detail, but the cure for the disease will be more technological/medical, than magic.
- Yharnam has a known history of being the place to go when you're sick, as they have cures for many diseases.
- Ancient gloom, atmosphere of a place full of secrets and ill intent.
- Changing your weapons shape (transforming) will alter the weapons attack speed and damage output.
- The Sawcleaver was used as an example of characteristic changes to a weapon transforming. When it's extended you use the bladed edge to attack, when it's closed you use the saw edge of the weapon.
- Weapon upgrades will continue (or add different strengths/abilities to them) - doesn't go into detail.
- Wants to make the game focused on online, but doesn't want to screw over offline players.
- As a side note, without being asked a question Miyazaki mentions DLC has become a bigger part of modern games.
- Because of the new hardware it's going to be a very different game (than Souls games) due to more capabilities, and massive amount of additional stuff. At the same time, certain elements will remain unchanged from the Demon's Souls era.
- He's trying to make a really awesome game for game lovers. He's very strongly committed to that. Immersive experience, exploring the unknown, really thinking about what you're doing, emphasizes the fear and sense of desperation in the combat.
- He knows people want experiences like what we got in Dark Souls 1 (specifically mentions DS1) and Demon's Souls.
- There will be very few 'sane' people. The only time you're really going to see people (sane people without disease) is when they come out at night to conduct beast hunts. It's then you're more likely to cross paths with them.
Thank you for that!
I've written down some key points from his translation that we didn't know, or expanded on earlier info.

Q: Does the game take place only in Yharnam?
A: Basically it's just in Yharnam but the city is massive and the game will take place during various times of day and weather.
We aren't sure if it has day/night cycles, but we do know this

Wow, he specifically mentioned dark souls? Sony seems extremely hesistant to mention dark souls in any form when talking about bloodborne.

Top right corner.....lava area confirmed ...or is that a light
What kind of Victorian town has a lava area close by?
It was mentioned by Miyazaki, not SCEJ representative. Considering he also direct that game, it's only to be expected that Dark Souls will be mentioned.

I love the suits of armor that you can wear in the souls series but these coats/cloaks that we have seen in bloodborne are equally badass if not more so.Kind of bummed, to be honest. I mean, I do love the aesthetic I've seen, I just love getting an awesome set of armour too.
I hope the customisation options are as extensive as usual in terms of clothing.
Look closely. It's a spotlight hitting a broken tower.Okay maybe not lava but a "fire' themed environment seems to be a staple in the series. Perhaps the mines, although that may be a bit too close to DeS.

I dont like this one, hopefully the single player will be as strong as Souls games, because this is the main reason the experience is so good (in online too)

I wonder if he was a little disappointed in the way DS2 turned out.
I want a PS4 for The Order and this. My god, especially this. Sony is crushing my heart because I know that I can't resist Halo
i dont get it? From are making it? Why not just make a Dark Souls 3?

Doubt it's lava anyway.
What do you guys think the chances are of Vampires being in this game. They do have an interesting relation to blood and we kind of have werewolves in.

I uploaded the E3 2014 gameplay footage some days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GCx2wW61aQ, and now that it has around 208k views I thought i'd share something I found interesting:
22% of the viewers are from Japan
19% from USA
7.3% from Spain
6.5% from UK
With the rest mainly being from around Europe.
94% of the viewers are male, 5.9% are female
Stats - yeah!
