My Christmas wish is for a Legend of Dragoon remake and a Bloodborne remake please!!

Redgrave67d ago

Not in this lifetime, my friend. LoD remake is too ambitious and expensive a project to risk dropping money on. They already hate Bloodborne for some reason.

Babadook767d ago (Edited 67d ago )

That’s silly. I don’t think they hate bloodborne. They love demons souls. They will give us a bloodborne patch or more likely a remake.

Abnor_Mal67d ago

I remember seeing a video some time ago with an interview with someone from Fromsoft who said that the idea of a Bloodborne remake would be something to look out for at the release of the PlayStation6.

DarXyde66d ago

Nah, I disagree.

Legend of Dragoon might be niche to a modern gamer, but it's still a new experience for the modern gamer. Bringing back PSOne classics is a bit of a challenge too, especially the RPGs because I think they want to consider how to modernize them for today's gamer. Sadly, we don't have Japan Studio anymore, and I'm finding that any JS games remade by studios like Bluepoint are good and overall faithful remakes, but are missing... Something. Could be "soul" or atmosphere, I really don't know. But playing them makes me very grateful I played the originals first.

Bloodborne is trickier. A patch probably won't happen since it's too half hearted (and cannot be monetized without a lynch mob coming for them). A remake is definitely possible, but, once again, there is no Japan Studio anymore and FromSoft is likely busy with other projects. I think Bloodborne will come again, though.

Rumor has it that they’re gonna announce a region-locked digital-only PS5 for a discounted price (50,000¥) which would put it more in line with the Switch 2.

Can’t say I’m a big fan of this news/rumor, cause I hate the idea of going backwards to region-locked consoles and games. We’ll find out tomorrow. Hopefully they’ll have some cool stuff to announce as well.

Rimeskeem67d ago (Edited 67d ago )

Might have something to do with tariffs and perhaps the new PM of Japan?

Yi-Long66d ago

Many gamers (and devs) in Japan simply feel the PS5 is much too expensive for a home-console, especially with the Switch 2 now out. They've been pressuring Sony in dropping the price in order to create a bigger market.

The Japanese Yen is also very low/weak right now, which means it's been a fantastic time to visit Japan for many tourists, but it also means tourists can (and will) take advantage of the weak yen to buy all their stuff there, as it's cheaper to simply book a holiday to Japan for a week orso and then buy the stuff you want/need, and it ends up cheaper than buying it all at home. For example, I'm in Hong Kong rught now, I can book a 5-day trip & hotel in Japan for 500 bucks orso, but then buy new shoes, clothes, glasses, games, camera, art-books, whatever over there, and I'd save so much money that the trip itself is basically 'free'. This is why they're looking at region-locking games/hardware, because they'd prefer me to buy that stuff in my own territory, where it would be (much) more expensive.

Sony Remade Demon’s Souls, So Why Won’t It Touch Bloodborne?

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.

Relientk778h ago

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.

Eonjay2h ago

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.

shadowhaxor4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

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

Eonjay2h ago

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

MinnesotaFatts13m ago

Some part of me wonders if there's some sort of corporate war going on at Sony.

Daver3h ago

I want a new one not a remaster

victorMaje2h ago

TLoU got the remaster & then the remake treatment.
Where is the next bloodborne, or remaster, or remake?

Goodguy011h ago

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.

MinnesotaFatts15m ago

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.

There might be some licensing red tape they cant get around?

shadowhaxor4h ago

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.

RaiderNation49m ago(Edited 48m ago)

Maybe Sony isnt interested in doing it without the assistance of Miyazaki and he's not interested? (Just spit-balling).

MinnesotaFatts14m ago

That's the issue according to FROMSOFT. They'd *love* to do a remaster, but Sony won't even return their calls.

Inverno4h ago

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.

Furesis2h ago

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.

blacktiger1h ago

How bout forget remade and start making new game pls?
