Bloodborne Has Shields
Sony's Japan Studio has confirmed to IGN that Bloodborne will, in fact, have shields. This comes after months of speculation from diehard fans of the series who've noticed that none of the gameplay shown so far has included that specific type of a defense mechanism.
Masaaki Yamagiwa, producer at Sony's Japan Studio, told IGN, "There are shields in the game. However if you're always standing back and guarding, you'll die very quickly. So you have to incorporate it into your strategy of how you play and fight."
He went on to elaborate, "We wanted these encounters and battles to be so intense that If you just stand and wait, you'll get overwhelmed and killed right away. We wanted to encourage players to not hide and wait, but instead be more aggressive and pro-active in battle."
