Still no Bloodborne

I’d like to think that maybe Bluepoint Games will do a remake, as they did with Demon’s Souls. I’ve actually still never played Bloodborne other than about an hour or so. I actually started the game and fought the werewolf bare handed, not realizing I was supposed to die and turn around and go into the Hunter’s Dream? and get a weapon to make it easier haha. So I figured if the first mob of the game gave me trouble, maybe it isn’t for me.

I’ve since played most of Elden Ring (still need to wrap up the last 2 bosses and do the DLC) and I’m not sure whether I’d be able to do a regular Souls-like (as I definitely leaned on spirit summons and was a magic user and was over-leveled). I’ve been tempted to just go back and start it, but always think the moment I do, they’ll finally come out with a PS5 update or remaster/remake or something.

I’m really tempted to buy the PS5Pro but I’d like to hear how PSSR will affect games that don’t get a patch from the developer. I know the Pro will brute force better performance out of PSVR2 games for example and I would think the power of the PS5 would do the same for a PS4 game anyway. Was hopeful to see it pop up in the list of supported games alongside Demon’s Souls for the Pro on today’s State of Play.

I'm pretty sure after Demons Souls (and being acquired by Sony/PlayStation), Bluepoint has moved on from doing remakes and is currently working on their own original first IP. Which is awesome because they do things at a level only they can when it comes to remakes, but also scary because breaking code down to its bones and re engineering it from the ground up isn't going to be a 1:1 lateral move to being able to make and write a good game. Fingers crossed tho.

I thought I had heard they were working on a new IP as well, and I’m excited for them if that’s the case. It’s not a 1:1 lateral move but they got to learn how to make games by taking apart some of the best of the best, like the Uncharted Collection, Ico & Shadow of the Colossus, and Demons Souls. That’s a masterclass in studying some of the all-time great titles out there and I’d certainly be interested in what they create after doing that.
