Bloodborne Official Artworks

Product Information

This really is a great art book. You get clear depictions of every monster, every weapon, and every environment in this game, all dripping with spooky, eldritch ooze. The art is simply amazing. 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). FromSoftware was founded on November 1, 1986, and developed productivity software for the first several years of their existence. They released their first video game, titled King's Field, as a launch title for the PlayStation in 1994. The initial King's Field did not see a release in North America, although a 1995 sequel would later be released in North America bearing the same title, which was released as King's Field II in Japan. After releasing a third title in that series, FromSoftware moved on to release Echo Night as well as Shadow Tower in 1998. IGN would later note that the latter was "effectively a King's Field follow-up" as it shared many of the gameplay conventions of its brethren. Also during this time FromSoftware would release Armored Core, the first in a mech game series which would go on to spawn many sequels.

Bloodborne Official Artworks" which is compiled with the pictures from 'Bloodborne' was released on February 26th in Japan. Not only it included the artworks from the main story, but also the 'The Old Hunters.' In regards to people being disappointed with the fact that it's not a hardcover and that they expected more content - I would personally agree. However, for what is provided, it is a worthy addition to a Bloodborne collector. FromSoftware, Inc. is a Japanese video game development company founded in November 1986. The company is known primarily outside Japan for being the developers of the Armored Core and Souls series, as well as Bloodborne. Beim durchblättern des Bloodborne Game Artbook wurde mir als erstes klar, wie weit man vorangeschritten ist, aufwendige Konzepte auch als 3D Modell fürs fertige Spiel umzusetzen. Fast jeder Winkel von Yharnam entspricht den originalen Ideen, ohne die Ingame Grafik groß downgraden hätten zu müssen. I own a few art books and guidebooks for various other games, but Bloodborne is the one I own basically everything there is to own, so I might be a bit biased here, do keep that in mind.

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). Digital goods, open DVDs and Blu-rays, smart art prints, mystery bundles, and final sale items are excluded from the return policy. Future Press gone behind the scenes with Bloodborne's creators to unearth every secret hidden within the mysterious city of Yharnam. Your hunt through the streets of Yharnam will be your most exciting and rewarding journey yet, and the road will be hard. But fear not! These guides are your key to mastering the merciless challenges and navigating the darkest depths of the city. [ More]

When it comes to the concepts themselves, never have I seen a more faithful transition from concept to the final product with every little detail, every tiny piece of clothing or a gravestone, everything you remember from the game is there in the concepts, perfectly transitioning from art to video game. 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. 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. Apart from the details on some bosses and enemies (which admittedly could use more attention apart from a single image) that you might not be able to see in game, all of that is present to quench your curiosity. 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.
