maybe you rabid fans are overestimating how many copies such a game would sell?

I bet Bloodborne would outsell any other sony game on steam
Sadly It wasnt in the Nvidia leak

lol, PS6 doesn't roll off the tongue so well when you try and say it.

I think people don't understand the complexities involved.
Bloodborne wasn't made by SIE, so in order to patch or update it, you're looking at contracting out FromSoftware who is clearly busy as it is with Elden Ring and AC6.
If you look at Last Guardian it is the same situation. The team no longer exists and the game hasn't been patched or updated.
Last of Us Remastered hasn't either and that is likely due to the remake. Spider-Man wasn't patched but a remaster was released.
Infamous Second Sons was patched
Sony is no longer in bed with Quantic, so no patches.
The biggest surprise is the lack of an official update for Killzone Shadow Fall to increase resolution, though the game runs 60fps in BC mode.

really isnt any complexities.
theres no financial incentive. Xbox has had a extremely dry spells of no games. Things would look pretty dire for years without the Bethesda purchase. Halo and Forza are the only notable things to come out in a whilee. Hence they had a incentive to update old games, to have content. Money isnt a issue for them. management of development is.
It’s possible. Someone at Sony has to be gauging interest. Did Demon Souls meet expectations? Perhaps? Maybe not. Is Bluepoint interested in remastering more games? maybe not. Maybe they are remastering one last game, that game being Bloodborne. Only thing that matters is if Sony thinks they can milk money.

I just want this on PC. A sequel would be fantastic but I'm not holding my breath. I'd only want Miyazaki working on it, and presumably he's moved on.

Not sure how this is a response to me.

Sony doesn‘t need the original developers to update a game. Simply they don‘t see the financial reason to. Is the point.

Can you point to a time when Sony had an internal team update a game made by an external or no longer in existence developer?

1) while a brand new Soulsborne is doing record-braking numbers, you don’t distract from that by talking about past games that are not ready to be re-released. You give the new game a lot of time to sell. Sony gets 30% of every PlayStation copy sold of Elden Ring.
2) we all know the upgraded PS5 Bloodborne version will be an ultimate edition bonus for the inevitable Bloodborne 2.

Gta5 it's doing it several times now, for more than a single generation. Ps5 can't run BB in it's current form @ 60fps, why not release it for ps5/pc?
adamsapple
Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
To improve performance ?
I don't even care about BB that much but even I am just wishing Sony remasters it so at least this part of the internet's painful history can be put to close.

But hat can be done with a patch.
BB will probably be remastered to PS6.
So you want a patch... it will be remastered to PS6 I guess.
Now GTA is another story… it is a PS3 game like Demon’s Souls… so it needed a new remaster for PS5… the PS4 one added nothing just better resolution.
Even so I believe GTA could have been just a patch but Rockstar wanted to ask you again for the 3rd time I guess.

Yeah. Also remastering a game always come with the chance of the dev team fucking up with the atmosphere and designs, so... Yeah, just patch it for PS5 and release it on PC.

I think those games where much more niche back then than today, as imo they got more populr after DSIII and now Elden Ring.
There also seems to be a fuckton of PC gamers who want to either play it for the first time or just double dip to play it at a higher res and framerate.
Honestly, I would love it to receive either a console patch or a port to PC. Game's awesome and people should be able to play it at it's best, which sadly isn't on the PS4.

Depends on the age of the game IMO. Remaking Bloodborne, a game from last gen, just doesn't really make sense IMO.
Really, higher res, FPS, and textures would be more than enough. I mean, what we saw with Horizons, Days Gone, and God of War all sufficed. I'm sure Uncharted will as well.
Exactly. For Bloodborne to be so "niche", it still received a lot attention in the form of Sony related merchandise too. Just as much, if not more than other IPs that got ported to PC.
FS has a large base of loyal fans that would be more than happy to double dip on the occasion. I'm sure many would do the same for Demon's Souls on PC as well.
As someone that had their Souls light bulb turn on late, I'd certainly be down with the same. Bloodborne is a fantastic game, it's just so unfortunate that, even at the time, the game was not optimized well. Even on the console it was designed for. It's insane.

Yep. Bloodborne 2 will be anounced along with Bloodborne 1 remaster. They’ll release bloodborne 1 first to drum up hype and sales for Bloodborne 2

Elden Ring has sold over 12 million copies on PC already, and people on this thread think a Bloodborne remaster wouldn’t be very popular?

Because remasters are waste of time, money and expertise from all parties involved. It made some sense when retro compatibility was not a thing, but now? It's time to o move on...

A lot of the asset work that went into demons souls could easily apply here if Bluepoint wanted to remake it
I still think it’s FromSofts best work in terms of level design, combat, and bosses. Certainly their tightest game with the least flaws imho.
ER is massive and amazing but the boss battle encounters haven’t felt satisfying to win. They’re so aggressive it makes you just use some form of cheese

he said "poorly-made tech wise" he ain't lying and he wasn't talking about review scores... you took it there. I'm a big fan of From games... they lack on the tech side.not enough interest? for the last 7 years people have been crying for a bloodborne remaster/sequel.
it's alright if you don't like the games but you're talking shit
you should probably chill, it's Friday... take it easy. he's just checking From on their tech, not the entire game... which is currently my top game of the year.

Considering from was making dark souls 3, sekiro, and bloodborne at the same time. I think with the hell of blue point, they can easily make a BB2. Blue point made a perfect remake of demons souls.
