The alpha test for Bloodborne has opened, meaning that people have actually been able to play the spiritual successor to Demon’s Souls. In this sequence of clips captured by YouTube user LiLAsN [That wasn’t easy to type – Ed], we’re treated to a good 45 minutes or so of gameplay, featuring huge hammers, mini-bosses, and a proper full-on final enemy.
Said show stopper is dubbed the ‘Cleric Beast’, and has a health bar as long as your 50-inch television screen. Worse than that, he looks like the kind of fluff that you’d find hidden behind your sofa – only amplified to tower block size and given claws the length of samurai swords. It’s worth pointing out that this is the game’s first boss, too. Gulp.

How can I play this?
@THEundying27 I think you have to get invited.
Too bad this isnt coming out for halloween, but it will be out just in time for valentines day lol
Now I have a craving for fig rolls
This game is going to be the shiz niz 😚💨💨
Never been a big souls fan, don't think I have the patience!
Played for a couple of hours last night though and impressed with what I saw.
Got as far as the boss but got whooped there, but seeing as to start with I was getting killed by everything I was quite pleased just to make it that far.
Steep learning curve for sure but satisfying once you start getting a feel for it
Just got an email for the alpha wooo!!
I got an email for the alpha tests too .
Too bad I missed out on the first one yesterday. Only got like 20 minutes of play in. From what I saw though, it's super cool. Gameplay and controls are smoother than ever and for once in the series I feel like the animations are actually realistic (and awesome). Excited for full release.
