Dark souls fans don't worry, Bloodborne looks awesome on PS4

So Gamescom was today and a few games were announced but my personal fav of the show was Bloodborne. Being a huge fan of the original Demon's souls and now the Dark souls series, it's nice to see that From Software kept most of the aesthetics and characteristics that defined its' predecessors. It's still the same risk reward system that forces you to respect its gameplay mechanics, which is one of the parts I loved the most about the Souls' games. When you defeat a boss you actually feel like you accomplished something of great magnitude. To this day, I have not experienced multiplayer that has been able to rival that of the Souls' series. Without going into major detail, the mulitplayer has always been something where players are able to seamlessly jump in and help others in the quest to eradicate darkness, or invade and take all of their souls in your quest for power. I love that the game gives you choice and a real challenge to overcome, the cooperative aspects are just an added plus that keep the game fresh and active. I know I haven't talked much about  Bloodborne itself but at this point, I can only really analyze the superficial aspect of the game because it isn't out yet and I haven't gotten a chance to try a demo (duhh lol). But from the trailer, the game looks amazing. This was more so a chance to just talk about how amazing the Souls series is and maybe draw in prospective fans who are gluttons for punishment and pleasure. Also the lore is fantastic.
