Using the saw and gun correctly can be devastating, according to those who saw the game, and produced lots of blood.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t see dismemberment, but every swipe, slice and shot seemed to elicit the &#8220;blood-splattering combat&#8221; promised on the demo&#8217;s introductory slide,&#8221; said Joystiq.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the d\u00e9but trailer, and a discussion about the game, below.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/G203e1HhixY?rel=0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HDUezrYpT6Y?rel=0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h6>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.joystiq.com\/2014\/06\/11\/bloodborne-is-the-ps4s-darkest-bloodiest-new-game\/\" target=\"_blank\">Joystiq<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.eu.playstation.com\/2014\/06\/10\/details-bloodborne-coming-exclusively-ps4-2015\/\" target=\"_blank\">PlayStation<\/a>.<\/h6>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">More gaming news<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #6e6e6e;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #0066cb;\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/65803-assassins-creed-unity-gets-4-player-co-op-and-more.html\">Assassin\u2019s Creed Unity gets 4 player co-op and more<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #6e6e6e;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #0066cb;\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/65801-star-wars-battlefront-trailer-hints-at-greatness.html\">Star Wars: Battlefront trailer hints at greatness<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #6e6e6e;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #0066cb;\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/65769-call-of-duty-advanced-warfare-action-packed-e3-trailer.html\">Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare \u2013 action-packed E3 trailer<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Software d\u00e9buted its new title, Bloodborne, at E3 &#8211; here is what the critics thought of it<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":214,"featured_media":65929,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11681],"tags":[12583,1935,21,1239],"class_list":["post-65927","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-playstation","tag-bloodborne","tag-from-software","tag-headline","tag-playstation-4"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65927","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/214"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=65927"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65927\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":65933,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65927\/revisions\/65933"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65929"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65927"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=65927"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65927"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
