Bloodborne

Bloodborne (2015)

▲

▼

During the game's public alpha test, a player managed to gain access to a restricted area and was killed in an unfinished boss encounter with Father Gascoigne. When dying, the boss mutters the words "Umbasa", a common word used by NPCs in Demon's Souls, Bloodborne's spiritual predecessor. This may suggest that Bloodborne is set in the same universe as the Demon's Souls series or simply a reference to the series by the developers. This line of dialogue was removed from the final release.

As the game was based on the popular manga ''Hokuto no Ken'', enemies would explode violently in a cloud of blood when attacked in game. For the overseas version, "Last Battle", enemies simply fly off screen when hit.

Certain bosses were also recoloured to look more mutant in nature.

In the US version of the game, the magic power up item's graphic is changed. This is possibly due in part to the visual similarities the other localized version's icon has to a sperm.

As a backer reward for the game's Kickstarter, backers had the option to provide a message to appear in-game on a memorial stone. One of the in-game memorial stones in the final version of the game had its message later changed due to it being considered by many as a hateful, transphobic joke.

A number of people were against the change, but Obsidian decided to have the messaged altered. The original message by the backer read:

"Firedorn Lightbringer
Here lies Firedorn, a hero in bed.
He once was alive, but now he's dead.
The last woman he bedded, turned out a man.
And crying in shame, off a cliff he ran."

After receiving numerous complaints from gamers about the quote, CEO of Obsidian, Feargus Urquhart, chose to change it and together with the backer who created it, decided on a new message.

"Here lies Firedorn, a bard, a poet
He was also a card, but most didn't know it
A poem he wrote in jest was misread
They asked for blood, so now he's just dead."

Along with the name of the game being changed from Gimmick to Mr.Gimmick and minor alterations to the music in the European version, the player starts out with 4 lives in the Japanese version while in the English version the player starts out with 9 lives due to the intense difficulty of the game. However, it is easier to get lives in the Japanese version where if the player scores 10,000 points another life occurs at every subsequent 20,000 points, rather than 25,000 points in the European version.

In the original Japanese version of Kirby: Squeak Squad, Spinni is referred to as female, but no mention of her gender is made in the game's English version, possibly to avoid any controversy with gender issues. However, the American version of Kirby Mass Attack refers to Spinni as male.

In the Japanese release, after Death takes Alucard's equipment away from him at the start of the game, Alucard makes an exclamation of dismay. This was removed from the English translation and changed into the exclamation of "What!?" that was used instead, as the team felt his dismay sounded "lame".

The scene was intended to make Alucard appear to have slipped up by becoming familiar with Death, and come across as his acknowledgement of his mistake, rather than appearing weak and whiny as it did during translation.

During the game's prologue, in which text scrolls up the screen explaining the story leading up to the events in Symphony of the Night, narration was recorded to be played over the top of the text in the English release just as there is in the Japanese release. This was removed prior to release, as Konami's PR team felt the recording was bad, and detracted from the scene.
