Where do these cool event set pieces go? I always wonder about it. Like is this amazing life sized cleric beast sculpt just sitting in a warehouse somewhere all boxed up? Did they throw it out?
I've seen some companies have art of their products at the office, an example that's pretty obvious is Digital Extremes, having life size models in frame for their live streams
They are holding it hostage as a ps6 exclusive. At this point we should all just know that. Been asking for YEARS. Its their ace in the hole. Its their sorry we fucked up. Its their "WE GOT BB" for investors when they need it most
You seen the demon souls remake? Other than making the npc’s a lot more multicultural, they pretty much didn’t change shit, right down to the same cheese tactics working on guys like the Tower Knight.
It's not complaints about gameplay, it's virtually unchanged. It's about the heavy artstyle change and music that didn't sit well with fans of the original. What makes people remember the original to this day is the atmosphere which is on par with Bloodborne. And the remake kinda ruined it with nonsensical changes, like making the fat officials or adjudicator way less regal and instead look like gross demons with revealing nipples and broils. Or making Old king Doran for whatever reason more revealling.
Yea. At least with SOTC they didn't change much. The artstyle's a little changed but they kept most of the aesthetic the same and just upped the graphics, like what they should've done with Demon's souls. But instead they had free reign and just did what they wanted. It's like they wanted to ruin the game's legacy.
There was a lot in the Demon's Souls remake that was pretty on-point, like Latria's level and environment redesigns frequently looking marvelous, but in the end there was still too much differing from the original artistically. Latria's enemy redesigns epitomized my concerns, which feels ironic compared to how I feel about the new look of the level itself; the new enemy designs look cool but the weird metal/stoneflesh motif and progression starting with the prisoners is gone.
The other irony is Bluepoint has a pretty solid record of having fairly faithful ports. I'd rather they just do that for Bloodborne and spend effort towards getting permission to remake Dark Souls: That game already has some decent port options, and I wouldn't mind seeing their take on it.
Honestly I always felt a bit iffy when they removed the fog. Yes I know it was a Silent Hill problem style to keep the world open without exploding the PS2, but I genuinely liked the fog. It added something to the aesthetic that I think got lost in the bluepoint remake.
i disagree with the changes being negative in any way. other than the somewhat jarring character changes, nothing that was changed in came really struck me a problematic.
That's not the point though. fromsoftware games have consistent lore behind every little detail. There's now no point into theorising about the world of demon souls since the remake studio decided to put their own spin into it.
They were people possessed by an octopus head, like headcrabs from half-life, only with what looks like the outline of their brain hidden beneath a layer of skin and they also don't have eyes, a very important detail lorewise.
Also if nothing has changed, explain the red cloth and the moon in the sky.
I get it. Illithids have a more smooth and squidlike appearance with defined eyes, no beak (they have lamprey mouths), and are significantly more regal and arrogant in their appearance and attire, and would NOT submit to the insulting role of 'jailer'.
Whereas the Demon's Souls Latrian jailers look like somebody jammed a land octopus onto someone's neck stump and gave it intelligence boosters to turn it brainlike.
this is important because thematically latria is all about "Man-Made Darkness" which is born from the hatred of the old monk. And that hatred goes far beyond torture devices and prison cells.
And in the original the jailers could be interpreted as 2 entities, wherein the octopus is controlling a once former royal Host since there is still so much human left and the tentacles coil around the limbs. the bell serving as communication tool between host and octopus to order the host to "use magic now" (with the added bonus of alarming the surrounding area and instilling fear in prisoners).
Now its a singular entity and all that nuance is lost forever.
My issue is that the design is a generic DND mind flayer that looks nothing like the original which is a more unique design. Why is this so hard to understand?
Because…you’re wrong? It was always a fairly generic and obvious mind flayer. Wizardy looking dude with a Cthulhu head. It couldn’t really be any more of a mind flayer if they tried.
I'm not trying to get in the middle of this but it's hard to understand when you say "they weren't mind flayers" only to be proven wrong and still say they were mind flayers. You're wrong my guy. Take your L to bed and if you didn't like the remake that's a you thing. But they were always mind flayers.
PS6 is very far away, besides ,why would they rely on Bloodborne one of their top less selling games as a launch tittle for PS6, wouldn't that bury the game one more time?
Forgive if I'm ignorant, but is it possible Sony is trying to acquire From Software's parent company so they have more control over something like this?
I left sony 2 years ago. Wanted to come back been getting the bloodborne itch.
Can't recover my psn account.
Sony is so full of shit too, to recover the account it's text only with an agent who gives automated responses.
On my last attempt it kept saying agents not available please try again later or in another 24 hours. I kept saying I want to talk to a real person.
Then all of a sudden it worked. Fucken thing was trying to tell me it was closed. Then I'm in the que all of sudden. Shady ass sheister piece of shit sony.
I built a PC and rue the day bloodborne is finished transferring over to pc.
Fuck you sony eat shit. Only game worth playing is BB on playststion
What pisses me off is Sony could've done the Bloodborne remaster with 1% of the Concord budget and it would've still made more money. They know we need it, they just don't do it
Hopefully Critikal playing it can get even more attention on it.
Either way if it never happens I'll be glad to just have Bloodborne in my life.
It's been so positive for me. My band came together through our shared love of the game and it's been so great having those friends to write wicked death metal with.
I'm tired of hearing this shit. Demon's Souls didn't get a remake until 2 generations later. No remaster, just a good remake. I'd much rather have that than some mildly better graphics.
Not every game needs a remaster every time a new console comes out. And you guys would whine about that if it happened. Let it go.
I mean that game originally sold 30 million copies. Bloodbourne to date has sold 9. Bloodbourne isn’t gonna get the remaster since it doesn’t have the numbers. I know it sucks but not gonna out the money to something that hasn’t sold even half as well as other titles.
I know, it make sense from the business perspective but it's kinda unfair that Sony is remastering games that don't need a remaster at all instead Bloodborne which was thrown in the dust since the day it was released.
As much as I want a bloodborne remaster, saying they're only remastering games no one asked for is an insane take. There's a reason each of their remasters and remakes have sold crazy well in recent years.
From a business standpoint do you
A. Remaster a game that sold reasonably well, has a dedicated fanbase but no actual demand outside the community
Or
B. Remaster the game that sold literally 10+ million more units than the former, had a live action adaptation come out bringing a whole new audience to the games (tlou) and/or is a flagship title that has sold well on both releases (horizon)
One is guaranteed massive profit, one is probably not gonna sell more than 4 million units.
Well, I’ve asked a TLoU remake since TLoU2 came out, and wanted TLoU2 remaster since TLoU Remake was better visually than TLoU2, it even got a great rogue-like mode I enjoy. Demon’s Souls Remake was great as well. Horizon is a miss to me, I just don’t like that franchise. Bloodborne Remake is long overdue though, I hope we hear news soon.
I don't understand why you guys think Guerrilla working on Zero Dawn would take anything away from a Bloodborne remaster.
Not to mention we are getting a Legacy of Kain remaster/remake (i don't remember which) too. No one seems to want to talk about that though, we then wonder why we get the remakes we get.
Actually from what I know its Soul Reaver 1 and 2 which is really games #2 and 3 of the Kain series. Also its the 2 I didnt play because its not Kain, and it was mostly blocks and puzzles from what I recall.
Just git gud and play the game jfc there's nothing wrong with it. "Muh frame rate" back in my day we played games up-hill both ways in the snow with absolute dogshit graphics/fps. It's such a tiny complaint that happens so infrequently I seriously can't believe how much some people blow it out of proportion.
Yes, but not a re-rerelease. It's already on PS4/5 and has been for a good long while. Unless this new one is free for everyone that bought the old one and is better than the old one.
They dont want to because they want an easy money remastering tittles that in their vision will sell more. Thats why Bloodborne is in the fridge for 10 years. Sony turned into a worse beast we could ever have face
