There is only ONE reason Sony left a Bloodborne 60 fps patch alone for four years since launch just do DMCA strike it down this weekend...and that's that they have plans for Bloodborne on PS5.

A modder created a real hardware patch for PS4 Pro back in Feb 2021 to allow for 60p Bloodborne and the patch was totally find for the last four years until suddenly Sony hit the modder with a DMCA (improperly too, as the mod did not distribute copywritten materials) and poof...patch pulled

Why else would Sony care about a 60 fps Bloodborne unless they planned on selling everyone one very soon?

It's due to "Copyright" reasons.

Probably no remake, just Sony being assholes.

makes no sense after four years of the mod being available and all the press it received in those four years

feel a LOT more like "now that its potentially competing with our plans..."

I mean, them being assholes and this interfering with some plans isn't mutually exclusive.

A simple 60fps patch would’ve been easy for Sony to release years ago, but they’ve held off

It's coming boys

Any day now.

People are already playing this on their PCs so, whatever train they are hoping to catch, it already departed.

 

[GrayChild]

Sony are just being PC Master Race bros and don't want the console beggars to take advantage of OUR trademark.

For those who are unhappy: just shut up and get a good gaming PC. It's that simple.

something tells me its a ps6 launch game.

 

[CrustyBritches]

I think they’ll wait and release pathtraced 60fps(120fps FG) Bloodborne as a PS6 launch game.

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

That's what I took from it - otherwise, why now?

BluePoint may have gotten their next project.

Nah. That’s a fraction of a fraction of people who played this.

Me? I want a console version and there is still millions to sell it to.

Nah, the 60fps patch is pretty inconsequential for Sony in terms of who is able to use it and who cares enough to use it.

Well… I’d rather expect the worst from Sony. I’ve been burned by them too many times.

Its stability has a ways to go... If it came out tomorrow I am willing to bet a large portion would prefer to run Bloodborne native rather than emulate it with hacks.

People would go straight to PS5 for a 4K60 remake

 

[coffinbirth]

Odd to me that they chose to DMCA this, but not the remastered mod.

Maybe grab that if you haven't yet...

Assholes? How come? Companies own IPs that cost millions to produce, they protect what's theirs. Its called "Copyrights".

Modded PS4 Pro with said mod is cheaper...
(It also plays 95% of the games.)

Sony:
'The best I can do is Bloodborne Live Service.'

Bloodborne match-three mobile game inc !

I predict Bloodborne being converted to PSVR2 but it still runs unstable 60 when played flat.

Something BB is in the works, how far along, I'm sure I don't know, but they are cooking something up, I can smell it.

Even if that is the case, the takedown order is anticonsumer

Bloodborne is such a big nerd game.
If i were Sony i would bundle it up with a console Release and put all this hype from it towards Hardware. I would not just put it out mid gen.

But thats just me. Actually hoping for a state of the Art PS6 game with Eventual pc Release.

 

[Parazels]

It's Sony's IP. They protect it from hackers, who are trying to break the game's balance.

 

[vodka-bull]

Bloodborne fans interpreting just everything to be a hint for an upcoming bloodborne remake is so hilarious.

Companies don’t need some reason to go after blatant IP misuse or any sort of hack of hardware.
