Support NeoGAF

[remember_spinal]

We all know Sony is waiting to drop the Bloodborne bomb, its just up in the air as to what that entails right now. If you had your way what would you prefer?

• A sequel announcement, with Fromsoft/Miyazaki attached, XDev would be support and handling co-development. Not Bluepoint
• Full blown 70 dollar remake by Bluepoint, that would provide the level of fidelity and performance of Demon’s Souls. No new gameplay content outside of mirror mode, accessibility features, and visual filters. Enhanced co-op features, some slight gameplay tweaks (no vial farming, etc.),
• A ‘Directors Cut’ which is essentially a PS5 port, 20 dollar upgrade path, same game, 60fps, 4k, some accessibility, dual sense and 3d audio support
• The last is just a 60fps patch, no res bump, no dualsense or audio upgrades, no accesibility, very barebones, like Days Gone, TLOU2, R&C, Tsushima, etc. got at the beginning of the gen

[Knightime_X]

A PC remaster is fine, I would really like if they added all the cut content into a playable state.
Doesn't have to be a completely remade game. but I most certainly would NOT complain if they did.

 

[leo-j]

Remaster for ps5/pc (2160p at 60fps) and a sequel blue point + from soft using demon’s souls engine (looks a half gen better than Elden ring) .

 

[ANDS]

Ideally.

 

[Perrott]

1 & 3

 

[Azelover]

Sequel

 

[BennyBlanco]

It doesn’t need a remake. Miyazaki is surely balls deep in Elden Ring sequels so you can forget about a sequel from them. Ghost of Sushi style remaster would be fine and probably outsell the original release after years of internet hype.

 

[Topher]

Both Bloodborne and Demon's Souls Remake should be ported to PC.

 

[midnightAI]

A Bluepoint/Miyazaki sequel

 

[Heisenberg007]

Nothing. Let it be.

The game sold 2-3 million copies. Better to invest in a new IP by contracting FromSoftware and asking Miyazaki to work on it.

 

[SEGA_2012]

Just a free 60fps update and nothing more. Game is overrated.

 

[Varteras]

I would only want a remake if the intent was to add more to the game with oversight from Miyazaki. Otherwise a simpler remaster for PS5 and PC would suffice. Considering that we haven't really seen Bluepoint's chops in making their own game yet, I would be very wary of having them do a sequel. If a sequel were to happen at all, I'd want FromSoft to do it.

That, to me, would be the most ideal scenario. Unfortunately, the powers that be just don't seem interested in either project. Because I have to imagine that if they were, one of these two things would have been announced already. But hey, we do have a showcase coming, supposedly. Maybe they just needed time to line up the resources. I would think that after the wild success of Elden Ring and the continued outcry for Bloodborne that someone at least got those wheels moving.

Crossing my fingers but I think my own luck ran out when SE announced the FF7 remake. So someone else will have to work their voodoo

 

[nial]

60fps patch.

 

[Daneel Elijah]

60fps patch.

Same.
A sequel is unneeded when they could do something different and more original. I would love it, but they can do better. So do better.
A remaster ? Why not? But same as above, I would prefer a MGS remake over a Bloodborne remake. Honestly a PS4 game is too soon to talk about remakes.
So remaster/ Director's cut would be nice. And a 60 fps patch the bare minimum. But a minimum that is realistic. I voted 60 fps patch too.

 

[ACESHIGH]

A PC port for us and a cheap upgrade path for PS5 users so they can play the game at higher FPS/Res.
I don't trust bluepoint. They have butchered the artstyle and OST of shadow of the colossus and demons souls already.

What does final fantasy have to do with bloodborne?

 

[hyperbertha]

By keeping bluepoint as far away from it as possible.

 

[Varteras]

What does final fantasy have to do with bloodborne?

Bro. Read. I said my own luck ran out when FF7 Remake was announced. I'm saying my own luck isn't good enough for that and a remake/sequel to Bloodborne to happen.

Thats not typically how people use that phrase but alright

 

[Varteras]

Saying I got lucky on something else so I'm not lucky enough for this to happen is absolutely how people use that. Is English your native language?

 

[acidagfc]

Needs multichoice, I want all of those.

 

[Danjin44]

All I want is either patch it for 60FPS or remaster it, I dont need Bluepoint try to remake it and ruin its great art direction for sake "shiny graphics".

 

[Represent.]

Just let it die and make a sequel or move on

 

[Gojiira]

Those options are all wrong OP, the only correct answer is Full blown remake by Bluepoint alongside a Xdev/Fromsoft sequel. Released same year or a year apart….

 

[remember_spinal]

Thats not what you said though, you said your luck ran out on ff7, thats usually used with negative connotation, and then to relate that to bloodborne is weird.

Usually if your luck runs out on something that means you never got lucky to begin with

 

[Madflavor]

Bare minimum it needs an update or a remaster. The game runs like absolute shit, even on a PS5.

 

[jm89]

Simple remaster and move on. Sequel or full blown remaster is a bit too much.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

I'm a little piggie so I'll take all four options. Any of them. Gimme gimme gimme

 

[worldwithpyramids]

It needs a very light remaster and nothing else. Fix its technical issues and give it 60fps. Everything else can stay the same.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Fortnite skins

"I used up my luck when I managed to land a beautiful wife. I'm not lucky enough to also get a great career".

"I beat a heart attack. My luck ran out after that. Probably not lucky enough to beat cancer now".

You're being pedantic and nitpicky. Stop. It's silly.

 

[kyliethicc]

probably sold more than that actually based on npd data. probably sold over 5 lifetime

 

[Ge Os]

I mean, this game running at 60fps with good AA on Pc and/or PS5 would be a dream (or nightmare) come true.
Bluepoint remake doesn't sound as bad, as long as they don't change too much.

 

[Ar¢tos]

Too late. It's already locked away in Sony IP vault along other amazing forgotten IPs and it will never see the light of day again.

 

[IAmAnAgnostic]

Why are people pretending that 4-5 million sales is giga-niche and unworthy of even a patch or a remaster + PC port which would be a simple upscale + FPS unlock?

I mean Returnal got a PC port and it sold much less.

 

[Golgo 13]

Lots of shitty takes in this thread.

Give us a a full-blown sequel by From Software. No open-world nonsense like Elden Ring, no cross-gen buffoonery - a laser focused linear action/horror experience made from the GROUND UP for PS5.

 

[Gobjuduck]

Don’t see fromsoft working exclusively ever again. Bloodborne only sold ~2 million, elden ring just broke 20 million.

Remaking games that still look great is such a waste of devs. Just patch and port it.

Do you also expect Armored Core to sell as much as elden ring or even DS3?

 

[ungalo]

Free update then sequel.

 

[SeraphJan]

Port to PC and make a sequel

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Bloodborne II that keeps the same mythos but the setting is Aztec/Mayan and has the first boss be a man with a Jaguar/Panther head actually morph into a Jaguar man mid battle complete with the battle cry.

That'll depend on how much more Sony invests into them. They just purchased 14% ownership back in August. That alone gives them some amount of influence. I don't know that Kadokawa will drop below the controlling stake, but I would imagine that Sony increasing its ownership further would increase the likelihood of FromSoft being made to do exclusive content. Also, as was discussed in the ABK thread, don't be surprised if the deal goes through that Sony rushes to secure companies, make partnerships, or greatly increase investments to protect their offerings. FromSoft was pointed out as one they would target.

 

[remember_spinal]

Sony buying Fromsoft/kadokawa (majority stake) would be such a shit show

 

[Bekind]

I would be happy if they just release it on PC.
Bloodborne doesnt need remaster or remake, the graphic still holds.

Just give us a PC port, thats all i ask.

It doesnt even make any sense that Sony still holds BB back as of now.

So many newer exclusive titles like Gow 2018, returnal, spider man are all on PC now, why the fuck do they still keep BB locked on playstation ???

 

[Thirty7ven]

Turn it into a full blown franchise. Look at how big Elden Ring was.

Sony can’t just live off cinematic blockbusters.

They’re not which is why they are making GAAS

 

[Barakov]

Honestly, I just want it in 60fps. Give it a remake for the PS6 launch.
