Bloodborne has probably the most iconic of the Fromsoft OSTs, some songs kinda blend together, but when you listen to any of them, you *know* it's Bloodborne! Shout out to Lady Maria's theme, it's one of my favorite themes in the game
I believe this plays on just the title screen. I remember booting the game and leaving it to load while i went to do something else, and it scared me because I got loud as hell. Lol
@samdam1618 did you read my comment? I said "I believe", as I am not 100% yet something similar plays on the title screen and it is loud as hell and has singing too of that woman. It is very similar.
Thanks for reacting to this one! The 'Bloodborne' theme plays on the ending credits, I'm not sure where 'Omen' plays - I think it plays during the auto-cutscene if you don't press start on the title screen. There is a title screen theme though that's called 'The Night Unfurls' (don't think it's been requested though). The game is definitely an action RPG, it's not scary really at all - it doesn't go out of it's way to scare the player like typical horror games. But it does go out of its way to horrify the player, if that makes sense. The setting, theme, story is absolutely 100% steeped in gothic horror but above all, Lovecraftian horror.
Bloodborne isn't necessarily a horror game, but it is like a love letter to classic gothic horror tropes. You fight vampires, werewolves, aliens, and lovecraftian beings beyond your characters perception until halfway through the game A lot of the games environments are overrun with the bodies of the sick and the dead, with most of the people left having been turned into beasts, and things more indescribable. Its not "Aaaahhh, monsters!!" scary, its just extremely gruesome
Yeah, I would definitely recommend Bloodborne for anyone who hasn't played it. Dark Souls 1 is also such a great vibe and a good entry point to the series for anyone intimidated by the notion that "Dark Souls is hard."
@dargons5145 Sometimes, but I'd definitely say it's less meant to be depowering like a Resident Evil or Silent Hill and more empowering. You're the "Hunter," and the beasts are your prey for 99% of the games runtime
@@Dasaltwarrior I feel like it's kinda both in a way. The game very excellently plays with the idea of "who's the hunter and who's the monster" because the combat is a regular back and forth between horrifically getting your ass kicked and horrifically kicking everyone else's ass. The monsters are aggressive, brutal and deadly, but so are you, and even in terms of gear and abilities you find more and more stuff that makes you more like them. You're not the terrified victim but you're not the doomslayer either, you're another killer in a world of killers.
@dargons5145 Fair assessment. I've probably just done so many runs atp that, that aspect of the game is lost to me. It is more similar to the classic Doom games where you can get ganked if you're not on your toes
I feel like Laurence, The First Vicar gets a bad rep in the game proper because of all the sound effects muffling it horribly but on its own its such a good song
Bloodborne (I believe) is the only game in Fromsofts souls catalog that has an entire live orchestra for its soundtrack. The results of that speak for itself. If you want you can see the orchestra play part of the Cleric Beasts boss theme on PlayStations official channel.
'Souls-like' kinda became its own genre after Dark Souls, although really even that was a spiritual successor that started with 2009's Demon's Souls, owned by Sony since it was their exclusive that they had Fromsoft develop, although considered a failure at first on release before becoming a cult hit Bloodborne was a new IP that Sony had Fromsoft develop as an exclusive for the PS4 in 2015, but with a faster gameplay iteration on the Souls formula, and heavily influenced by Lovecraftian / cosmic horror. It even spawned a separate term 'Soulsborne' 10:35 You are actually entirely correct here - Omen is the song that plays during the game's trailer cinematic, before it was even released
Bloodborne is my favourite game of all time, it really is that good. It *is* an action game but the atmosphere, themes, and enemies go from spooky to straight up disturbing. The marketing tagline of the game was 'Hunt Your Nightmares', which is just so sick. From the OST, I would highly recommend: Father Gascoigne Blood Starved Beast Lady Maria of the Astral Clocktower Gherman, The First Hunter
"Before that term was coined what were they calling this" nothing. FromSoftware basically invented a new subgenre of action/adventure games and there was nothing quite like it at the time. Soulslikes started with them
The music in bloodborn is one of the greatest music in the gaming world I advise you to listen to: 1- Laurence the frist vicar ost 2- Father Gascoigen ost 3- Living failures ost
Laurence's theme will never not go hard. In fact I mean it with utmost sincerity when I say that Laurence, the First Vicar is one of the most gorgeous musical pieces I've ever heard in my life. Everything about it is just so _lush_ with emotion and storytelljng, and it's for that reason that I actually put it higher than Ludwig's theme imo.
If someone wants to hear where Bloodborne drew inspiration from I suggest a listen to the OST of Bram Stoker's Dracula, track 1 "The Beginning" would fit right in
"And it's the main theme of the game..." Exactly, you're only at the title screen and the game is already beating seven shades of shite of you! It's barbaric! It's vicious! It's tremendous!
3:20 Well, you're not wrong. The only reason Bloodborne (2015 was crazy) is not a horror game is the gameplay. The Soundtrack, the ambience, atmosphere, artstyle, lore and worldbuilding... EVERYTHING about Bloodborne is scary and greatly psychologically teasing. Bloodborne's gameplay is just scary from a "Resident Evil 4" style combat stress. Some bosses can be genuinely scary to fight though. And Yuka Kitamura, the previous lead composer before leaving From Software this year, always went crazy on the music.
Bloodborne is one of the best games ever made, along with its OST. The song you just listened to is among the best, but it might be good to look up the live performance of Omen. It’s real nice to watch and listen.
You atent wrong to call it a horror game....while the gameplay is an action rpg in terms of story, themes, atmosphere and environment it is very much a Lovecraftian Horror game
You already can with the emulator. I have a 3070 and with current mainline beta build you can get 60fps at 1080p. You can get 60fps 4k with a 4090. I've already done 2 playthroughs of it. There is still work to be done as some effects like fog, fire and smoke dont quite render without mods. But by next year expect everything to work 100%.
@astrojeet i think ive heard of that project but it looked awful from the little i saw. I hope they dont release the official version right on top of them finishing the emulator

Bloodborne easily clears as my favorite Fromsoft soundtrack.
@@KevinM491 shame theres so little to no ambient music bc the boss music is usually particularly good

You are correct, but the full version plays during the attract screen, which is also the games original E3 trailer
I’m pretty sure this plays once you finish the game, the main theme is just called main menu theme.
This does not play on the title screen

@@linkpwnsevery1 all he did was correct you, none wrong with that.
One of the best games I've ever played!! Hope Cleric Beast is floating around in your requests somewhere

I mean sometimes it is ahhh monster scary. The game does have a few jumpscare-ish situations.

Laurence and The Living Failures are my favorites, and people sleep on the Living Failures.

From the OST, I would highly recommend:
Father Gascoigne
Blood Starved Beast
Lady Maria of the Astral Clocktower
Gherman, The First Hunter
Cleric beast deserves a video
Laurence as well
I'm so happy there is more Bloodborne request ☺️. Love this ost so much I can't wait for more.
My favorite fromsoft game. The atmosphere in this game is just incredible, plus its fun as hell
Bloodborne plays on the game’s title screen. I’m not 100% sure where Omen sits in the game, but it was definitely used in the trailers.
"Before that term was coined what were they calling this" nothing. FromSoftware basically invented a new subgenre of action/adventure games and there was nothing quite like it at the time. Soulslikes started with them
The music in bloodborn is one of the greatest music in the gaming world
I advise you to listen to:
1- Laurence the frist vicar ost
2- Father Gascoigen ost
3- Living failures ost
Throw in Blood Starved Beast and that's my list :)
The Cleric Beast/Vicar Amelia theme is good too. Ludwig phase 2 is what ppl always suggest but Father Gascoignes theme, The Hunter, is my favorite
Laurence's theme will never not go hard. In fact I mean it with utmost sincerity when I say that Laurence, the First Vicar is one of the most gorgeous musical pieces I've ever heard in my life. Everything about it is just so _lush_ with emotion and storytelljng, and it's for that reason that I actually put it higher than Ludwig's theme imo.
Happy Halloween, Jesse!
Nice Casio, love those vintage style ones. Just got a Seiko 5 Field GMT myself.
If someone wants to hear where Bloodborne drew inspiration from I suggest a listen to the OST of Bram Stoker's Dracula, track 1 "The Beginning" would fit right in
I would love to see Jesse's reaction to Blood Starved Beast or Living Failures, he'd enjoy both thoroughly I think :)
"And it's the main theme of the game..."
Exactly, you're only at the title screen and the game is already beating seven shades of shite of you!
It's barbaric! It's vicious! It's tremendous!
My favourite ost from this game!
Living failures and maria and Laurence and orphen is the pick

You need to listen Lady Maria OST from Bloodborne
This game has the best soundtrack hands down. It's a crime that it didn't win best video game music of the year
Metal gear ( phantom pain )won against the Witcher 3 and bloodborne. W
@WRSH101 and both games are leagues better then metal gear
@@natebug1976 agree
You atent wrong to call it a horror game....while the gameplay is an action rpg in terms of story, themes, atmosphere and environment it is very much a Lovecraftian Horror game
Yes exactly 💯
i like Darkbeast Paarl ost
8:22 What is the singer's name? I want to look her up.
One day ill play this on PC in beautiful 4k 😂
With two second loading screens!!
@Tonku12 I'm all out of copium, can you spare any?
You already can with the emulator. I have a 3070 and with current mainline beta build you can get 60fps at 1080p. You can get 60fps 4k with a 4090. I've already done 2 playthroughs of it.

Not from Sony though, probably the modding community would do it first.
Action rpg
