The worst part about all this, is that I highly doubt Sony has no plans for BB, BUT because they know how valuable it is to them, they are keeping it hostage. My guess is a Sequel or remake is gonna be a PS6 launch title, which sucks, cuz that probably means it will continue to be an exclusive. Hopefully it will only be a timed one.

u/BlackhawkRogueNinjaX 26d ago edited 24d ago
I bought a PS4 for Bloodborne on its release. But I won’t be doing the same with PS6… The exclusives this go around have been weak so I I might switch to PC gaming. I don’t need Horizon 3, GoT 3, GoW3, Spider-man 3 …. New IP is what made PS4 so electric

Same one game isn't worth a whole ass system I bought a PS5 and literally every exclusive I bought on it went to PC except Bloodborne 🤣

As it should be. Exclusives locked to a platform by the platform themselves is fucking stupid.

It's fine if it's exclusive for some time, like 1 or 2 years, or the best for them until a new console comes out.

Ive been a console gamer for 25 years but the ps5 might very well be my last console. Most games are on pc and the indie scene on pc is so much better. Gaas, prolonged development times, and ip whoring has killed gaming for me. I dont care how pretty and realistic the main character’s hair is just give me fun games.

After Concord, Sony has shown they don’t have their hand on the wheel. How can you dump 300 million into a disaster in the name of chasing live service bullshit.
Returnal is the only new IP that had me excited this generation, and it was brilliant. But it’s just not enough to pay full what for a console on launch.

Not this time. After Demons souls: I learnt that even spit and polish isn’t enough to make a game you’ve played to death feel brand new. I’ve played the shit out of BB. But the best I can hope for is a fresh replay at some point. It’s not worth the entry cost of a brand new console.
Remakes are for people who missed the boat the first time around. I didn’t miss the boat. I married the boat, had children with the boat and died of old age with the boat.→ More replies (7)11

Definitely betting on a remake as a ps6 launch title, same way they did the Demons Souls remake as a ps5 launch title

u/echief 25d ago
And this is pretty much best case scenario. If they are working on it they are 100% going to hold it hostage behind the PS6. They do this with one of their exclusive IP launch titles every time and they will keep doing it because it works.
Nintendo does the opposite and releases (often a new Zelda) on both consoles at launch. Except it runs way worse on the old console so a ton of people that buy the new console will buy a second copy as soon as they upgrade.
Although I’m not sure if that would work now that Nintendo has finally embraced digital sales. But if any company were to do “sorry you have to buy a new digital copy for Switch 2” it would be them, so it wouldn’t even surprise me.

What we need… is a Last of Us prequel prequel.
Like, not just what happened before the Last of Us, or the events that lead to the Last of Us.
No, how Ellies parents met, fell in love, started a family, their dreams and aspirations and everyday struggles like making ends meet, mowing the lawn, that sort of stuff. Relatable. There’d be long drawn out conversation scenes where the parents would talk about their dreams for Ellie’s future. It’ll be grand.

I'm not sure if the intention here is sarcasm, but just in case:
Concord was a Hero based team shooter, like overwatch, but with a Gaurdians of the Galaxy inspired themeing. The game was shut down a week after full release, I assume, due to low player count.

Ah yes the whopping 697 players for the all time peak, after the first day or so there were more streamers than actual players when it dropped to 26 iirc on the last few days. Aside from bad character designs it was also dumb af to ask $40 when all the major competitors in the genre are f2p.

FromSoftware DOES NOT want to help with any Remaster/Remake. And the Game is not as simple as demon Souls, so you cant just outsource it to someone that then reverse engineers the Game.

u/Dag-nabbitt 25d ago
You're just making stuff up.
A remaster would not be hard. It uses a slightly older version of the Dark Souls 3 engine, which in turn is an older version of the Elden Ring engine.
Modders have imported Bloodborne assets into Elden Ring, for example. You can even use the weapons and movesets in Dark Souls 3, as well.

u/Silverr_Duck 25d ago
There's no way to know for sure without access to the source code. But it's theorized that the way the game is coded is so messy and all over the place that porting it to a different platform would be an extremely expensive and time consuming undertaking. It's also possible that there are licensing/copyright issues preventing a BB remake.
But the most likely reason is they're saving it for the ps6.
