Bloodborne innit

 

[Radical_3d]

It's Bloodborne.

 

[Punished Miku]

More like Blueprint. Let's see if they can get to the finish line this time. Best of luck.

 

[Saber]

Bloodborne innit

It's Bloodborne.

Easy on the copium.

 

[Chuck Berry]

 

[Horseganador]

Any rational executive would have them work on a Bloodborne remake to have ready for the PS6 launch.

8 minutes and no Suns being praised? I'm disappoint.

Two years from now and put another one from the course correction of last year's GaaS debacle…

It depends on how much work was done while in the GaaS galleys.

 

[R3TRO]

Maybe the highly requested Bloodborne Gaas title.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

 

[Yoshichan]

awful fucking acquisition btw

 

[PeteBull]

It's Bloodborne.

ps6 remaster, proper exclusive just like demons souls for ps5, they really wanna make sure hardcore audience takes the bait, and they arent wrong

 

[Sticks]

awful fucking acquisition btw

Terrible management

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Even if it was Bloodborne, can we really expect them not to screw up the art style?

 

[Yoshichan]

Terrible management

yup, imagine pumping out remasters and remakes left and right

and the second, the same fucking second you get bought by a multi billion company, you disappear from earth

it's unfathomable how much I hate Sony, and what's even worse is I was the biggest fucking Sony cock boy in the world, buying everything Sony and their shitty as PS1, 2, 3, 4, 4 Pro, 5 and now 5 Pro

like a true cuck

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

I can live with some art style missteps if it means getting something that looks and performs as beautifully as Demon's Souls....

We need BB at 60 desperately ...id be happy with a remaster too

 

[Perrott]

Ever since the acquisition, Bluepoint hasn't shown signs to be anything but a support operation to Santa Monica Studio's endeavors (first with Ragnarök, then with a GOW live-service).

This is most likely related to helping out on Cory's game.

 

[Giallo Corsa]

Maybe the highly requested Bloodborne Gaas title.

We have Duskbloods at home honey

 

[rm082e]

Give me the Bloodborne remake - right into my veins!

 

[Grildon Tundy]

Knack 2 remake confirmed, baybee.

 

[Durin]

Gotta change that graphic to a PS6 by the time we actually get it.

 

[ByWatterson]

Bloodborne innit

Probably right…but,you gotta think Santa Monica already has those types (combat designers)working here…his game feels like it's been in development forever…

 

[ShadowkillXNA]

Agreed. Sony arent as fucking stupid as some posters like to imply, they know full well how beloved this ip is by their base. But theres no reason to rush it for the ps5 gen. Take your time with it, make it a ps6 showcase, ps5 compatible if you can, but not if you have to compromise the ps6 version.
Again, they know full well how beloved this franchise is, they're not stupid simply because they're not doing exactly what you personally want when you demand it.

 

[semiconscious]

'at least 5 years of professional experience in combat design...'

yep, & you will've very likely doubled that experience before the game ever releases...

 

[Team Skoda]

It better not be BB. I'd rather Fromsoft Remakester it themselves under Miyazaki's watch.... As long as they upgrade their engine.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Whose game will they trace over next?

 

[Pejo]

RIP the art style of whatever they're remastering.

 

[Knightime_X]

give me a reason to delete shadps4

 

[ReBurn]

Has anyone guessed Bloodborne yet?

 

[nial]

I don't know why people are expecting Bloodborne when Demon's Souls was mainly pursued by Japan Studio itself. Perrott is probably right on the money:

[The Cockatrice]

imagine working on something for half a decade, getting cancelled and then starting the work on another thing that might also get cancelled for another half a decade. this industry is fucked.

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

See you in 2035!

 

[HYDE]

Ico Remastered

Heh…they did do MGS C. Maybe DMC Remakes? Of course it's not BB, we wish.
MGR:R/MGS4 or Prince Persia trilogy remasters?
God of War I & II Remasters?

 

[lughnasadh123]

Ball busting in a Bloodborne thread is far more fun than a remake/remaster could ever be.

 

[Sanepar]

So 2030 game.

agreed. tho, maybe if they were to get some help from media molecule?...

 

[yogaflame]

75% chance it is Bloodborne remake as launch game for PS6.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

Media Molecule is too busy doing nothing. They can't be bothered with anything that impacts their salary versus production (lack of) ratio.

sony loves paying people whether they produce or not. because sony loves people...

 

[dgrdsv]

Announced as coming to PS6, Xbox and PC, nowhere to be found on the latter two in the year 2035.

 

[Ar¢tos]

Remember how it took 10 years for Sony to shutdown Japan Studio?
It was one of their biggest studios with hundreds of people and that time was mostly spent in 3rd party support, mainly to indie devs

 

[Yoboman]

Theyve been working on GOW since Ragnarok so could just be that

 

[Arsic]

See you day one at the PS6 launch with the collectors edition Bloodborne remake.
