      Yeah this is a tough pill that a lot of more casual people gotta swallow, demons souls remake was fine but it really wasn’t particularly faithful in adapting the original’s artistic qualities. While that wasn’t super important because of how few played that game and how much fewer appreciated it, that’s not the case with bloodborne. A bluepoint remake of bloodborne would be a disaster and miyazaki would personally take offense at it based on how dear both that game and dark souls 1 are to him.

      Bloodborne just needs a remaster. Use the highest quality assets they produced for it, make the resolution reasonable, make the framerate at least 60. That’s it and you’re good. A remake just makes no sense. And bluepoint, going by how they handled both sotc and demons souls, are probably the people you’d first check off the list to do it.

      I am starting to think that bloodborne , while being owned by sony , has something to do with Fromsoft too. No way can sony be this oblivious to how loud and big bloodborne community has become.

      “From Software didn’t want it to happen”

      Yall can shut up about Sony doing nothing with the IP. It’s all been FS

      Who is even asking for a remake? Just give us a 60FPS native PS5 version that uses the SSD for shorter load times…

      Miyazaki must pay for his crimes!!!

      And we’ll retroactively add his obsessions with poison swamps to the list!

      Doesn’t Sony own the Bloodborne IP? I don’t know why From Software would have any say in the matter.

      So it’s what Shuhei confirmed almost a year ago, that Miyazaki is the hang up.

      They couldn’t even do a patch all this time. He was probably afraid they would give it a perfectly locked 60 fps framerate.

      Thank fuck lmao I’d hate to see them ruin Bloodborne with a remake. It’s not a game that needs a remake, it just needs a straight port with 60fps and a higher resolution

      Honestly, I would have hated a Bloodborne remake with as many changes and lack of care for the original designs like the Demon Souls remake

    16. Super_Avocado on

      I’m coping still that one day we’ll get either a remaster or a remake

      Please Miyazaki, I need the doll in 4k 60fps

      Yeah that’s what Shu said and everyone should’ve listened. From doesn’t want Bloodborne touched unless they’re the ones involved.

      Have we ever, in history, had a game that the developers seemingly HATE yet turned out to be wildy successful and loved by the fans. Usually games with that level of disdain behind it’s creation, fail to impress and collapse.

      >[God of War live-service game] was an awkward fit for the studio, which hadn’t released an original game since 2006 and had never tried to develop a live-service game. Bluepoint was a small team that mostly had expertise in art and engineering, not design. Developing a game that hooks players for the long haul is a challenge that even the most experienced studios have struggled to conquer. **Some Bluepoint staffers grumbled that they should be working on another traditional action game like Demon’s Souls or God of War Ragnarok rather than a live-service project that few of them seemed to want to make.**

      Yeah they were forced into a live-service game because of Sony’s push for GAAS like what we expected. Also guessing this was the Atreus game that was making the rounds a few years ago.

      Also WOW this makes it sound like Bluepoint was just left alone with no help or support.

      People are so concerned about a Bloodborne remake. I’m more concerned with the complete mismanagement of BP games over the last 5 years.

    22. therealsauceman on

      Maybe Miyazaki has a sequel in the works and doesn’t want to muddy the water. We can’t know his intentions

      I didn’t like Demon Souls remake but that’s because it felt … old.
      But the music graphics etc etc was really well made and they didn’t change nothing to the ground game .
      Would have loved to see their Bloodborne remake

    24. Perfect_Opinion9858 on

      I hope this shuts up people asking about bloodborne remake now but it probably won’t

    26. Mrmet2087 on

      This is what many suspected is that From has first right of refusal on a remake. Even though Sony owns the IP and they could do it if they wanted to (unless some original contract stipulation says otherwise) I’m sure they don’t want to burn bridges with one of their biggest money making third party devs on their platform.
