Sony extending PlayStation Plus memberships by five days and offering a 10-percent PlayStation Store discount. But is it enough?
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "While not carrying the same heft it enjoyed long ago, last year was one of the adventure genre's most commercially-successful years in this century. A Telltale-esque adventure eclipsing 3 million sales in three months would be the talk of the town were it not for another adventure game hurdling over 10 million sales in two. Though not all finalists reached those heights, each did share a greater amount of spotlight compared to similar titles within their respective sub-genres.
Past any sales thresholds and popularity contests, 2025 also deserves credit for its creativity; the last time our entire shortlist consisted exclusively of new IPs was for Best Adventure Game of 2020. An impressive year for the genre, with even greater potential ahead."
Bandai Namco announced today that its popular flight simulator-lite Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown has passed another sales milestone.
The Outerhaven writes: Bloodborne is still one of PlayStation’s most beloved exclusives, but it remains trapped on PS4. Meanwhile Demon’s Souls got a full PS5 remake. But why?
Demon's Souls was a PS3 game.
Bloodborne is PS4 and can be played on a PS5.
There's no need for a remaster.
I completely agree with you on this. If you want remasters or remakes give us games from the PS1 or PS2 era like Legend of Dragoon.
I would say thats a personal oponion trying to be passed off as a law. Truth is thre are many people who would love a remaster.upgrade so they can play Bloodborne at 60 FPS. People would literally love that.
I mentioned that in my article, did you read it? I literally pointed out this is exactly why the game is still doing well, and why Sony has zero reason to remake/remaster it.
And there are plenty of PS4 to PS5 remaster/remakes, to counterpoint that.
Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered
GTA V Expanded & Enhanced
Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut
Control: Ultimate Edition
Death Stranding Director’s Cut
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade
Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection
The Last of Us Part II Remastered
Either because they technically can't because From Soft wont allow them too, or because From Soft is sorking on the sequal, remaster themselves. Therre is a third option of course and that would be that they are working on it
TLoU got the remaster & then the remake treatment.
Where is the next bloodborne, or remaster, or remake?
What it needs is a ps5+pc release. The game absolutely needs a 4k60 update. Lots of money sony is sleeping on while the souls genre is still hot.
Tell me you don't know what a remaster is without telling me.
Bloodborne is infamously capped at 30fps on either system--a bizarre design choice given that speed and reaction time is central to the gameplay systems. This capped performance was never patched out officially, unless you jailbreak and mod your console. A remaster for modern hardware, not the infamously finicky PS4 devkits, would be a great way to both hyper-optimize the game *and* drive sales for the PS5, which still doesn't have a system seller title.
I don't want a remaster, I want a ground-up remake, like Demon's Souls. 60+FPS, higher res textures, and higher poly models. Why wouldn't anyone want those things for Bloodborne???
That'd be interesting, but Sony owns the IP 100%. So, I can't see how that is part of the issue, if there is even one.
Maybe Sony isnt interested in doing it without the assistance of Miyazaki and he's not interested? (Just spit-balling).
That's the issue according to FROMSOFT. They'd *love* to do a remaster, but Sony won't even return their calls.
Because they're saving that for the PS6 to lure in all the suckers that will think they're making a sequel, but the whole gen will pass by and From won't ever touch it because Song doesn't care for either Demon or Blood outside of remakes.
Because they made them do something else, then they canceled it and who knows what they are doing these days. They dont understand what they have and honestly i dont think they know what they are doing either.
They arent even hacker attacks....... they didnt have to give anything away. Why do people have to question this stuff?
First off OP learn the difference between the term "hacker and script kiddie.
Second yes it;s more than enough.
Tell me do you ask for compensation for the following things when they go bust
Electricity
Satellite/cable
Gas for car(When still giving payments on it)
Internet...etc etc....
I swear ever since Sony gave the 2011 games away people now expect compensation everytime soomething like this happens.Bunch of overself entitled brats is what many have become this gen.
Also before someone gives me that damn "Well you can't compare them bla bla bla bla Speech ask yourslef this.
"What do all these things have in common??That's right they're being paid for. I rest my case.
Yes they are already giving you back the days you lost back and 10% of on any purchase in the store. I may not like Sony as much as I did but you dont see me demanding for more so just be happy with what they are giving you.
It's enough for me, because honestly, I never expected them to do anything given that it was only down for 2 days for most people, with some intermittent problems afterwards.
Outside of the 2011 PSN hack, I've never once been compensated by any company for down time on their networks.
If they make it a standard policy to make up down time, then I think it could set a good trend for companies to try a bit harder to keep their services up and running, although I do understand that it wasn't completely on them this time.
