Jeff Grubb on Bloodborne Remake/Remastered: 'Not happening at the moment'

Apparently Bloodborne's game engine is tied to the game being 30fps. Probably a mess of a code to try and remaster

Bloodborne remake by Bluepoint for PS6

For Dark Souls at least, the engine that from used (probably still does) had some aspects of the game logic tied to the frame rate. Unlocking the frame rate on PC could lead to funky stuff such as weapons degrading faster or issues with the physics engine (messed up jump, clipping through the floor after descending a ladder).
This was fixed with Dark Souls II though and I assume From used the updated engine for Bloodborne.

Pretty sure a Bloodborne pc port would be the best selling PlayStation PC game of all time. I guess they don't like money.

Didn't that Lance McDonald guy use a jailbroken PS4 Pro to play the game at 60FPS? I don't think this is a big problem at all.

It's not since Dark Souls 2. Modded/development PS5s can run it 60:
Sony are just lazy bastards, they can make this game run in 60FPS with just few lines of code changed. But they won't, they hate us...

How many PC bros have bought a PS4 or PS5 just to play Bloodborne? Maybe Sony just sees more money in a game as iconic as Bloodborne to stay on its systemSony just likes us to suffer.

Well they better get a move on. If they take too long it gets emulated and they miss out on most of the sales on PC.

This is just an old concept on an old engine but it still makes me wistful to see. I love Bloodborne but it is hard to get back into that frame pacing mess now.

Literally fixed with just a few lines of code. I played 60fps Bloodborne on my jailbroken PS4 Pro this week.
This whole, "Fromsoft code is so messy" narrative needs to stop when modders, some of whom work completely solo, have fixed all of these issues without access to source code. If Lance McDonald can figure out how to backport the 60fps Dark Souls 3 patch to Bloodborne, Sony could easily do the same and then some. They just don't want to.

Wouldn't lay eyes on it. Fromsoft or NOsoft.

No one should be surprised From Software doesn't want to do a single-platform game ever again after Elden Ring and then Armored Core 6
What I don't get is why Sony doesn't want to just give it to Bluepoint to remaster/remake like Shadow of the Colossus or Demon's Souls
I don't remember if Bloodborne sold really badly or what

The recent leaks indicated it sold about 7 million copies. So pretty good for a pre-Elden Ring Fromsoft.

Because Bluepoint is just a support studio, and those remakes were mainly done by Japan Studio IDD; which got replaced by Team Asobi, that focuses on a more family-oriented output.
Bloodborne sold VERY well, pretty sure that it's already a top 10 best-selling SIE series with only one game, and if SIE isn't doing anything with it, it's because they're waiting for the best moment (PS6 launch, close release to the rumored movie).

A remake would ruin it. Remaster with performance, resolution improvements is all it needs. The game is perfect, don't fuck with the design.

I'm gonna laugh if it's really going to be a PS6 exclusive a la Demon's Souls Remake. Lol

Remaster with graphics improvement, resolution improvement, fixed frame pacing from the previous fuckup, 60 FPS locked. That's it. If they want to add any cut content, that would be stellar, just let it be done by AT LEAST the B team at Fromsoft, if the A cannot take on the project.

How many people are still buying a PS4 just to play Bloodborne these days? If you seriously think that Sony is making more money from that tiny crowd compared to what they would bring in if they released a PC port tomorrow, then I have a lovely beachside property in Montana to sell ya.

What if both amounts are roughly the same?

"From's time is worth too much [...] Sony probably doesn't want to pay the premium."
Grubb, just shut up and don't comment on what you clearly don't know shit about.
PlayStation Studios has pretty much given carte blanche to Kojima Productions - a game studio just as celebrated as FromSoftware - for the Death Stranding sequel, not to mention the absurd amounts of money they've poured into The Last Of Us Part II, God of War: Ragnarök, Horizon: Forbidden West or Spider-Man 2 over the past years, and I cannot even begin to imagine how much Naughty Dog and Santa Monica next games or even Physint are going to cost.
So money is not an issue and I don't think it's coincidence that Hermen Hulst name-dropped FromSoftware alongside Kojima Productions in 2021 when asked about Japanese PlayStation first-party development. Between that, and the fact that SIE went on to invest and own a stake in FromSoftware, I 100% expect them to have a PS Studios game in development, as rumors have been suggesting for years now.

This isn't any kind of insider insight.
"at least not involving From", no shit. Their primary director literally just said as much. Sony put out a very good Demon's Souls remake without FromSoftware's involvement. Sony owns the IP and a studio that has proven adept at adapting FromSoftware's games.

The remake was a PS5 launch title, I'm not sure it stood much of a chance. I think Sony needs to port that to PC.

Yeah, the money issue was really weird of his part.
They obviously hold From Software in high regard, why else would they remake their 2009 game, that wasn't originally published by them outside of Japan, as a launch title for their new console?

I been playing this at 60fps on PS4 Pro and it's really awesome. I really despise the terrible framepacing before... now it's silky smooth. Had to drop the res down to 720P though, which is a shame.

I'm quite confident that Bloodborne on PC would be a multi-million seller, going by the performance of other Souls games on the platform. You expect me to believe that over a million PC gamers bought a PS4 this year to play Bloodborne?

PC gamers might not, but multiplatform gamers might.
Which is all that would matter to Sony.

Cant trust anything that comes from anyone involved in this industries mouth. Whether it's IGN helping to prop up Phil, an "industry insider", a game director or whomever! This industry is full of shit!!
