GameRevolution: "The best part is you can play it this week, and for free. A 5.1GB demo has hit the PlayStation Store that offers a glimpse into what the game is like to play."
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.
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.
Here's the latest top ten physical sales in Japan (Dec 29th - Jan 11th):

3 Switch Lite 18,460 (Total: 6,822,925)

10 Xbox Series X 29 (Total: 323,884)
11 PlayStation 4 25 (Total: 7,930,176)
Wow! Both Switch 2 and PS5 DE bump in sales! Congrats on both of them. And 300k+ units a week is insane! Considering Christmas rush should be ended already. And all top 10 best selling games are from Nintendo.
Update: Sorry, this is a 14-day sale, not 7 days.
A month ago they sold 221.000 Switch 2 in ONE week, and Nintendo still hasn't fully resolved the stock situation in Japan 👁️👄👁️. Imagine after they have fully stocked it.
For comparisons sake. Between january to march 2025, Nintendo stock also dropped below 9k yen.
I mean Japan is Nintendo's playground, so no surprise there. Just crazy to think that Japan alone has accounted for nearly 50% of all Switch 2 sales or something
Because Sony abandoned Japan. The Japanese have a preference for mobile consoles as well.
#26 Ghost of Yotei - 1,415
Top 30 only game for Sony, even the multiplatform games are not selling there.
That's truly something, I agree.
I'd be really interested to read somewhat of a survey or something as to why Japanese gamers don't like to get into the Playstation ecosystem anymore.
I would love to read an assessment from Japanese gamers.
"Nothing is off the table right now."
Will this series ever get the VR treatment? Outlast in VR would be insane.
I downloaded the demo today.... in usa
Same demo that was played a while ago but it was still nice to actually be able to play it.
It has hit every store
My god this website.
