Almost any good game with good art will age well due to the PBR pipeline introduced at the beginning of the PS4 gen.

Why? Technical shortcomings aside, it might be FromSoft's most perfect game to date. The only thing that would benefit this game would be improved performance and higher resolution.
DeS on the other hand was a rough experiment of a game, so a remake was reasonable (though that it was a total success is a discussion for another time).

I was thinking the same.
I feel like I've seen this headline three times already.

Replayed it just the other weekend, it's my favourite From Software game in terms of narrative/themes. It has it's flaws outside of the obvious low res and framerate (weak build variety/viability, some undercooked mechanics, blood gems being handled pretty poorly in the base game etc.) but it is just so damn good in several other aspects that it easily compensates for the lesser parts.

Because I don't think anything less will be well received. It will be sold at $70, and people will be wondering why it's not at the level of the DS remake which sold for $70.

Sony HAS to make a sequel. Microsoft has the Sekiro IP. It would be so cool if they both made good games from those games. No remaster please, I platinumed/%100'd the game and a remaster would depreciate my precious trophies. I refuse to platinum Fallout 4 for PS5; PS4 was enough - my last trophy was the shitty chuck e cheese amusement park arcade one where you had to buy tokens(with paper money - which the trophy guides failed to mention, luckily I like to collect stuff in-game) and shoot moving targets. The grind. My f'ing hands and wrists after using that weird espresso machine assault rifle. Good thing I have such a supple wrist(knock on wood).

One of the GOATs, we wait patiently for our remaster/remake/sequel, one day...

My favorite game of all time. I had so much fun on the first couple of playthroughs. Discovering all secrets. Engaging with the community. Digging deeper and deeper in the Chalice Dungeons. The story and lore is so good and well written. As a big Lovecraft fan, seeing such a love letter to him and his stories was an awesome sight to behold. Miyazaki and From went all out with this game. Shame about Sony just leaving it in the dust. Bluepoint or Nixxes could've been assigned to a remaster for PS5 but Sony was more interested chasing live service slop.

Great game and my first From soft game.
Never could get into Dark Souls or Elden Ring like I did this one.
Loved the aggressive fighting style with the dash dodge, rolling is just meh.
The setting and atmosphere was amazing too.
Really can't get my head around no update for it when newer games are getting remade.

So you base this idea not on what would benefit the game itself, but what would be beneficial business wise. Meaning, pandering to a broader audience is preferred to doing something for a narrower audience. But for whom? For FromSoft, for more casual fans or for the biggest fans of the game? Definitely not for the fans of the game, and definitely not for the game in an artistic sense. It is already levels beyond both OG DeS and the remake as far as I'm concerned, in all but technical shortcomings.
So to convince me, you'd have to refute me by arguing that the game could be presented even better in a remake.
Then again, do you really not think that a polished release on current consoles, maybe even Switch 2 when it's released, which would be less costly resource wise compared to a full remake, wouldn't be a success business wise?

I wouldn't really expect anything significant until the 20th anniversary. Probably will get a really nice retrospective video like the God of War Anniversary.
Can't wait.

Eh? From Soft owns the IP for Sekiro, Activision only published it

No they dont. From owns Sekiro. They made certain they retained IP ownership when Activision published.

Eh, the textures on the ground and walls show their age. Wouldn't mind seeing it getting a proper remake.

That's such a shallow view. And what's the benefit though? No matter how good the developers are, if it's not the original studio, it will be an interpretation that's bound to miss the mark in some way. Nier Replicant I reckon got it right, and that is because they had several of the original developing team involved.

Don't buy it, then.
Me? Perfectly happy buying a BB remake by Bluepoint, should they make it.

Demon's Souls looks amazing but BP really fucked up art in some aspects vs. original game...
BB needs 4K/60fps update and that's it. Remake on PS6 or PS7...

That's fine. But you've only presented your opinion and that hardly makes for good discussion. So, do you have any arguments for why you'd be fine with it? I've already made a case for my position.

I do not intend to argue with you. I just think that I found the Demon's Souls remake a vast improvement over the original, I think that Bloodborne has a lot of room for improvement graphics/animation wise, and I would love to see a developer who elevates (for the most part) original games like Bloober or Bluepoint give their shot at BB. Remaster it to keep the purists happy and remake it for folks like me.
Both versions would sell.

Love the game. And fuck the One Reborn fight, the most dogshit fight in the game in terms of being uninteristing and annoying if you don't kill the chime maidens.

Damn, time flies
One of my buddies got the game on release day. We were supposed to hit the gym and then head to a party, but we ended up ditching our plans and just played for days instead
At the time, I knew about FromSoftware but never gave their games a shot because they had a reputation for being brutally difficult
Oh how things have changed lol

Of course it's a business decision. There's no artistic reason to rerelease a 10 year old game. But people have been clamouring for them to do something with it for years now and at this point just saying "It's now capped at 60fps(no dips!), running at 1440p!" isn't going to cut it. Hardcore fans of the game have played Bloodborne in its current state multiple times. Fromsoftware games are mainstream now, there is no "narrow audience". There's the Elden Ring audience. Sony are probably looking at those numbers on PS and PC and salivating at the potential addressable market for a new Bloodborne game.
There's been years worth of hype. They need to capitalize on that.
