Joe from Untold Gaming writes: 2016 is really a year of conflict, isn’t it? You have Batman V Superman; Captain America V Iron Man; Donald Trump V every sane person of America. While these conflicts rage on, there has been a battle over the decades between two giants caught in an equilibrium of power: Sony & Microsoft, two tech powerhouses looking to outdo each other in console sales and reputation for home entertainment.
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.

GTA V Expanded & Enhanced

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.
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.
Rockstar has launched an official marketplace for "every server and every player" to buy mods: Cfx Marketplace.
I wonder how much of this isn't just taken work of others who have modded for free.
Edit: Also, great way for R* to take popular ideas and build them into GTAVI based on demand.
What I see happening here is, R* is going to ban mods in GTA6 UNLESS you buy them from the marketplace and R* then gets a cut of that sale.
Ah, perfect timing with them taking down the Bully online fan mod. Greedy a$$ company.
Yep, right there with you. I'll happily donate to a mod creator if it looks really cool, or if I enjoy it. But expecting payment up front? Nope, not touching it.
I'm not entirely sure how to read this, as it doesn't seem exactly like an exact parallel to Bethesda's paid mods shenanigans.
Rather than single player stuff, this appears to be aimed solely on Cfx Servers. From what I've gleaned, apparently Rockstar bought the Cfx mod team several years ago, coming a few years after weird contentions led them to ban a few of their members. Ultimately, the question is if they plan to keep this contained to only online/servers.
I have to guess to a degree yes. It'd be pretty hard to "force" paid mods for single player when modding files locally on your own machine, but much easier for servers they'll control. So perhaps this is their soft launch ahead of GTA6 online and they'll clamp down more tightly on non-official servers going forward? Ever since they've become a 1 or 2 property studio, I haven't really cared much for Rockstar stuff, so I'm not entirely up on everything surrounding this. Sounds like it has the potential to be problematic further down the line, but right now fairly easy to ignore...I think lol.
Former CEO describes lawsuit filed by Swedish pension fund as a "collateral attack" on Activision Blizzard.
Kotick Made $155 million from MS in the buyout, the little b*tch needs to stop whining. Thanks to this Microslop deal and massive industry consolidation thousands upon thousands of devs and other workers lost their livelihoods. This greedy piggie pervert needs shut up and f-off.
I think both offer up some great exclusives, they just cater to different tastes. I'm really excited about Xbox one's Cuphead (I know it is on PC as well) as well as being thrilled about Uncharted 4. They are obliviously trying to compete but I think things are pretty level at the moment... Perhaps PS4 will take the crown nearer to Christmas, but we shall see.
As of right now I would say yes. With regards to the PS4 exclusives so far there's:
Bloodborne - 9/10 (Metacritic User Score 8.6/10)
Uncharted 4 - 9/10 (Metacritic User Score 7.8/10)
Order 1886 - 5/10 (Metacritic User Score 6.6/10)
inFAMOUS: Second Son - 8/10 (Metacritic User Score 7.9/10)
Until Dawn - 7/10 (Metacritic User Score 8.1/10)
Ratchet & Clank - 9/10 (Metacritic User Score 8.6/10)
Resogun - 8/10 (Metacritic User Score 7.7/10)
Killzone: Shadow Fall - 7/10 (Metacritic User Score 6.8/10)
While the Xbox has had:
Halo 5 - 6/10 (Metacritic User Score 6.5/10)
Quantum Break - 6/10 (Metacritic User Score 6.8/10)
Killer Instinct - 8/10 (Metacritic User Score 6.9/10)
Dead Rising 3 - 7/10 (Metacritic User Score 6.8/10)
Sunset Overdrive: 8/10 (Metacritic User Score 7.7/10)
Gears of War: Ultimate Edition: - 8/10 (Metacritic User Score 7.5/10)
Halo MCC: - 8/10 (Metacritic User Score 7.3/10)
The xbox has just failed to make a definitive exclusive so far, all their big projects either end up being boring or just average, they started with some good exclusives such as Sunset Overdrive but the latest games such as Halo 5 and Quantum Break just fail to impress me compared to games such as Bloodborne and Uncharted 4.
Edit: The metacritic scores are there as an indicator of how the community has perceived a game, I don't care if you agree with them or like them they're there to compare how I perceived a game against a general consensus.
For me, the answer is yes.
For me they are. Just a better lineup of quality games that suit me! Xbox has some great games that I've enjoyed but I've also been more disappointed by their offerings than than I have with playstation.
