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.
ShadPS4 version 12.0.6 brings major performance gains to Bloodborne emulation on PC, enabling 4K and 60 FPS gameplay while surpassing the PS5's backward compatibility limits.
Oh.. when did PS5 get Horizon 5 ?
How many years ? 5 years !
but they got no problem here right ?
Halo CE is 2001 game
What about if PS5 get Sunset over drive
How many years ?
And PC gamers wallets always lose :) Gotta upgrade that graphics card constantly because you want to experience all those hyper realistic graphics with solid frame rate LMAO!🤣
LOL, you upgrade your console every 5-7 yrs. When you do get that shiny new console it has 3yr old pc tech in it. Not to mention 1/2 of your purchased games may or may not work and oftem show very little improvement. If you were to get this type of a remaster from sony, it would cost you another $70. PC can run pretty much any game ever made and will give you the option to remaster it as little or as much as you like for FREE. PC sets the bar and your console attempts the bar 3yrs later.
LOL. I updated my 1080ti to a 3080 for $300 in a part swap. that was in late 2020. I'm still crushing games at higher frame rates lol. Bought the PC in late 2017 with an i7-8700 cpu. Still. Going. Strong. Maybe upgrade next year or around the decade mark.
In the meantime I'll play every game imaginable via emulation, and new releases as they come.
Replies(1)The only reason Sony won't budge with this is that they probably want it to be more than remaster which is how ShadPS4 is doing to Bloodborne right now provided that you have strong enough hardware.
This article shows how Bloodborne can now run at 4 K and 60 FPS on PC via emulation — a big leap compared with the PS5 backward-compatibility version. and for translation help try: https://www.translationserv...
I really dont know why theyre holding on to this so much when its been asked for so much. Unless there'd a plan of a demons souls style remake
Probably because their expectations of how much a game should sell is too high now a days, it only hit above 9 mil in sales in the coarse of 10 years. When they have franchises that sell x2 or x3 that number in half the time it's probably hard for them to justify the cost since they've gone the coarse of appealing to the widest audiences ... and Bloodborne isn't exactly that type of game . Even looking at trophies only a small percentage beat it let alone got half way through it sadly .
That's because of difficulty and not really much cost in remastering games. Look at what the PC community do for free. Its guaranteed profit for Sony.
It's also a Fromsoft game and uses it's own propriety engine so unless they go to FS themselves or remake it like Demons Souls remake it's probably not worth the hassle from them .
For more than a decade, Yuka Kitamura’s compositions have thrilled gamers around the world. From Dark Souls III to Bloodborne, Sekiro and Elden Ring, her music has left its mark on the history of video games, transforming every battle into a memorable experience and every moment of silence into a dramatic pause.
Someone always has to go against the grain. When there's so much positivity around a game, and a review like this comes around. I tend to mark them on a list to not pay attention to their scores.
to say you give a 7 because of the difficulty and that the game "is not for everyone" seems ridiculous. it's impossible to make a game that "everyone" will enjoy.
i don't agree with gamereactor reviewers standards.
Pure clickbait - they know the 7 will get people clicking, but not low enough for them to look like an utter silly billy.
Das is bad review. Der click bait! Har har har
I'm gonna leave my comment and im ready for my bubbles to burst.
When a game is highly loved, hyped, liked, celebrated, cos-played, painted or otherwise tattooed on your privates. I click on the reviewers that give it the worst reviews, because I want to know what is wrong with the game (or product)
Or perceived to be wrong in any case.
To me the Soul games are just that games, not a way of life. If they never existed I wouldn't care, for that matter. No game or system or movie would make or change my perspective in life.
So if something like exceedingly long load times is a factor that diminishes fun, BECAUSE you die often, in a game that embellishes your deaths. This is a problem. You want to get back into the action as soon as possible. Not look at a load screen.
I cant say whether this is indeed a fact, cause although I bought it, and its loaded on my PS4. I have to wait to play. I have to work and sleep is more important than being first out the gate with "How to beat the first boss with my bare first videos" LOL
So, I would argue that in a sea of love, you look for the ones that giving constructive criticism.
