I really wish buepoint would get stuck into a bloodborne remake. Imagine what it would look like, and just as importantly play like in 60fps.
One can dream.

I actually agree with this. What Elden Ring has in exploration, it lacks in Bloodborne's level design and story. Both games are great. I still want a Bloodborne remaster for PS5.

To me there's a few things that made Bloodborne super special, the setting, the lore, the fast dodge instead of rolling, the gun parry's and how everything was handled between the world-building and the lore and especially... the insight mechanic, the insight mechanic alone put it above the other fromsoft titles for me personally..

I just love how it impacts things throughout the game, revealing more and more etc. it's just such a unique and cool mechanic I hope they return it sometime even if it is in another vein..

I am hoping that after PS5 gets the much needed VRR update Sony will unlock the frame rate in Bloodborne.

The narrative/lore and how it played out in the game and for the character is still their strongest. Of course it's scale is much smaller to ER, but boy the punch it packed was stunning,

People must leave bloodborne behind...all the time as the same thing , remaster, pc version...sorry, its exausting...

The game is great (atmosphere, lore...) but ER is a better game.

100 percent this. I like Elden Ring but I have to say that the formula loses a little something with the open world format.

Bloodborne and Sekiro also felt like more original takes on the formula.

Bloodborne is great but it doesn't hold a candle to Elden Rings. This is all opinion of course but for me Elden Ring is superior to Bloodborne in every way.

I think it’s focus. I’ve been saying this for a while. Elden Ring is a good game. No doubt about it. It loses a LOT of character with the open world however. It’s deeper than that though. I beat Demon souls maybe 3 or 4 times on PS3. Bloodborne 2 times and much time spent in chalice dungeons. Dark souls and dark souls 2 beat once each.
I have spent plenty time in the series. That being said, Elden Ring severely lacks atmosphere. I have seen some pretty areas for sure, but the atmosphere is gone. I feel nothing going through the lake of whatever it’s called to the upper left of the map. It’s foggy, has Marlboros (that’s what I call em, blame final fantasy) but I feel nothing. The swamp in Demon Souls felt drury. Felt depressing. The giant lake in Dark souls 1 or 2, forgot which, felt mysterious as hell. The whole area had a feel. That Hydra in it felt epic. Elden ring… the only area I’ve found that has a FEEL in my opinion so far is the underground city. They have spread themselves so thin that almost nothing feels special.

The main story bosses feel good in Elden ring. They have cool moments for sure. NONE felt like Flamelurker, Storm Ruler, or that cool blind boss. None felt like the giant wolf at the grave in one of the Dark Souls games, though admittedly dark souls wasn’t as epic as demon souls on the boss level. Bloodborne however had awesome bosses from beginning to end. The FIRST boss in Bloodborne was cooler than any boss in Elden ring so far. On top of that though, those games didn’t feel like they were simply cheap as hell instead of hard. Many Elden Ring bosses simply feel ridiculously cheap and you winning depends on how much the computer decides to spam the super cheap move on its list. Feels more like luck. Not all, but definitely most. Feels more like a war of attrition than a battle of skill.

Lastly the side dungeons are simply badly designed chalice dungeons. You just have to ride to them instead of them being randomly generated and you dropped in. Even the look in most of them are the exact same. It’s either a cave or the crypt. Even THOSE bosses took skill and mastery of the game rather than luck in Bloodborne. You see those speed runners beat the main story bosses in Elden ring? Yeah, those are the easiest bosses. I’d like to see them fight some of those optional bosses. Ridiculous.

Cool game. No doubt. But the engine isn’t ready for open world and the pointless leveling softcaps stand out even more. Throws the balancing wayyy off. If they do remake Bloodborne it’s going to blow people away….again.

Bloodborne imho is one of the greatest games ever made. It was my first fromsoft game and i remember struggling in the first area for like 3 days because i didn't have a clue how to play the game properly. Once i figured it out, I became so hooked that i had to play ng+ after ng+ and even at max ng i repeated it time after time. i love the setting and weapons so much while i just like the settings of the demon/ dark soul games, in which i only completed the the story once ( if at all) and didn't feel the need to keep on sinking my time into them any further.

I have alot of fun with elden ring, but i don't know if i will do ng+ after i finish the story.

Bloodborne was thematically original and this brought it success. Elden Ring has a less emphasis on thematics, it's pretty much just Dark Souls, but gameplay -wise... it's just on another level, I've never seen an open world done this right.

I also loved Bloodbourne, and would prefer it over Elden ring. I'm not saying Elden ring is a bad game not even close. It's just bloodbourne connected with me in a different way, and I just couldn't stop playing it lol.

ER is too big

Elden Ring is more accessible for players who aren't masochistic enough to enjoy Bloodborne to its fullest. I think what it lost in focus, it made up in mainstream appeal. I think it is a great balance to the Ubisoft games that turn a game into a checklist, and is the peak of open world design to date. I'm not saying it's perfect by any means, but its depth and scope is beyond what we've experienced so far. It stands to reason that it would need those a little of the focus of earlier games to accomplish that.

big difference with bloodborne is there are only like 8 weapons; it's a lot easier to focus boss fights on those weapons rather than make a game like elden ring as focused. Elden ring has so many builds and options it's impossible to make 1v1 fights as good as say sekiro which had just one weapon and tactic.

Astrologer + meteorite staff + the one with the crystals inside i don't remember the name + Comet Azur and the 3 boulders gravity magic + the elixir where you mix the tears that gives extra magic power and doesn't consume magic points for some seconds = Elden Ring very easy mode. And the many points of grace scattered everywhere that refill bottles, reset enemies that are following you etc.

I couldn't find a very easy mode for example in Demon's Souls, i'm having a lot more troubles. Sadly never tried Dark Souls trilogy but i'm going to get them too. Bloodborne is ready to be used, after Demon's Souls :P

Bloodboorne is just TOP TIER!

Bloodbornes dodging I wish was back in a new game. Sekiros boss finishers were also amazing and hope itll be back. Id want a sequel but miyazaki dislikes em.

Metacritic disagrees.

While i'm not a huge 'souls' fan, i did really enjoy Dark Souls 3 and the Demon's Souls remake. Bloodborne though just didn't gel for me. I prefer the slower, more methodical combat of the Dark Souls games (which feels very similar in Elden Ring). I also wasn't actually a big fan of the sort of Victorian aesthetic of Bloodborne. I prefer something a bit more medieval.

While I'm enjoying Elden Ring as a game to keep me going for a while, the more contained parts like castles/dungeons feels so much like a Dark Souls game. It's a little too familiar. Also the game very much looks/feels like a last gen game (which it is). There's models and animations that have that PS3 vibe to them. Textures are just 'ok'. The art style though is very good.

Weren't people saying it was running poorly on Switch 2 at CES earlier this year? I hope they fix that before release. If they can do 60 fps in handheld mode I might pick it up -- otherwise not interest in playing this game at 30 fps.
