168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Lies of P is the latest addition to the long line of Souls-like games. South Korean developer Neowiz shared a new trailer for the game 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:at Gamescom 2022 which showcased its gothic Victorian setting ꦺand Pinocchio-inspired story.
One thing we couldn’t help but notice is how similar it is to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:FromSoftware’s smash-hit, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Bloodborne. The environment, setting, and the art-style as well look heavily inspired by From's Lovecraftian action RPG. Its game director has now gone ahead and addressed these comparisons.
In a statement provided to (via ), Lies of P’s game director, Choi Ji-Won, welcomed these comparisons. He mentioned that he is a very big fan of Bloodborne himself: “I'm feeling so honored that my art is being mentioned together with the name of Bloodborne. So I am very honored".
However, Ji-Won has mentioned before that the game’s likeness to Bloodborne was not intentional. In a statement provided to in December 2021, he explained, “Though we’re greatly honored that many players felt the ‘Bl🧔oodborne vibe’ through our trailer release, it definitely wasn’t intentional”. He continued by saying, “Still, Bloodborne and other Souls-like titles are certainly inspirational, and almost everyone in our team is a hardcore Souls-like fan.”
Ji-Won has also explained the rationale behind cho𝐆osing Pinocchio’s story for the game. He mentioned that since it was the studio’s first Souls-like game, it had to be a well-known story with an established fanbase. Speaking of choosing Pinocchio, he said, “But also, when you think about Pinocchio, people will think about Disney, but Disney made Pinocchio a little childish, but actually if you look at the original Pinocchio story, it's pretty dark and for adults”.
In our preview for Lies of P, we mentioned that it giv💖es a steampunk and teslapunk vibe. We also noted that the game, while being compared to Bloodborne, isn’t quite as genre-defining as the PlayStation exclusive was back in 2015. Nevertheless, for those desperate to see Bloodborne 2 or a remꦿaster, this is one to look out for.
