Following a breakthrough in PS4 emulation via ShadPS4, Bloodborne is now fully playable start to finish with 60 frames per second in view. Fan mods also allow the PC version to go the extra mile with new features: improved shadows, lighting, and even anti aliasing - in theory showing us what an official remaster could end up looking like.

What is more expensive for Sony? Bloodborne 60 fps patch or countless of GAAS?

I've been holding off for this release to be a lot more stable I think it's time I finally try loading it up. I don't ever want to turn on my PS4 again.

[Gaiff]

Deluded if you think they are going to be able to emulate the game in any playable state any time soon, and when I mean soon, I mean in the next 5 years

T Three is upset too

This is the pettiest post I've seen on gaf this year and 2025 just started.

(I'm for it though, lol)

You have no idea the amount of work and resources it would take to edit an ini file and change a 30 to a 60.

 

[daninthemix]

High res, 60fps, visual enhancements - yep, that’s a remaster alright.

Nope. I purchased the game from PSN

 

[MDSLKTR]

Now, that is laughable with glee-worthy.

Patch? The absolute best-case scenario is a remaster they'll market as a remake—and charge you $70 for it.

 

[rm082e]

I will be very excited about this when basically all of the bugs are worked out and it's as reliable as the PS4 version.

Since almost day 1, plus ultrawide resolutions.

 

[daninthemix]

Bless you sir.

Not upset about anything. just laughing at the idea of DF covering emulation as "what a remaster would look like" with this buggy thing.
Meanwhile they're too chicken shit to cover any emulation that makes Switch games look 100x better.

 

[Alexios]

Funny how some scenes were familiar to me like, I've been there sort of, even though I never played the game, just this fan demake, lol. Anyway after Elden Ring I've had more than just enough Souls-like gameplay for the next decade, I'm good.

That's more to do with Nintendo being pretty notorious with DMCA takedown requests on youtube.

hence why they're chicken shit.

You want them to deliberately post content that we all know will be taken down and end up resulting in their channel getting monetization strikes and possibly removed from YT ?

They can literally show they own the game and fight back. They even have a reason to call it academic but hey that's what I'm laughing at, not because I'm upset that peeps are playing a PS4 game on newer hardware.

 

[rodrigolfp]

Imagine buying a 5090 to also play a decade old PlayStation game without shit performance and IQ/resolutions and mods.

Ftfy.

Nothing can beat having pretty much only remakes, remasters and cancelled GaaS titles in your catalog for the last 5 years.

Oh, and Astrobot and Stellar Blade... I guess.

Lemme guess, you bought these games and are using the disc drive on your pc right?

 

[FireChaka]

I finished the game with shadps4 at 60fps, but many crashes in cutscenes due to the 60fps patch.
Deactivate the patch to avoid crashes and then activate it again to continue playing. without graphic errors.
very good for the primary state of the emulator

And you think this would stop Nintendo from going after them? Nintendo doesn’t care even if it’s legal. Why would the DF crew run the risk of a court battle with Nintendo? Even if they were in the right and won, they would spend tend of thousands in lawyer fees.

You need to dump it anyway.

Yep, Nintendo lawyers have been on record as saying that they consider emulation as piracy, in a blanket way.

I’ll buy a 5090 just to see the look on your face. C’mon, gimme that grin.

people bought 3090s and 4090s to play minecraft with shaders, compared to that this is actually using the GPU in comparison

Perhaps not but they have IGN backing now so they can afford it now. Still the fact that they started to cover emulation was funny while never doing possible Switch 2 remasters. I guess they didn’t fear Sony going after them. They've never covered emulation of xbox on PC either when discussing BC so maybe they fear xbox going after them too.

Even with IGN, why risk a legal battle just for some videos? Nintendo could also blacklist them. It simply isn’t worth it.

No one really cares about Xbox emulation. 90% of their games are playable natively on PC. The only exceptions are games like Conker or Crimson Skies.

Man what is this weird tangent you're going on here, lol.

Why the fuck would IGN want to incur Nintendo's wrath and the possibility of getting blacklisted from coverage?

They've covered emulation in the past a lot as well. If Sony and MS start DMCA take downs on these videos, they're gonna stop doing these videos for non-Nintendo games as well.

 

[Holammer]

Same, kinda. I'm getting a 5080 and I'm going to run it it at 1440/60 and quadruple the framerate with Lossless Scaling.

Then laugh, LAUGH at the people crying about fake frames.

How else am I supposed to play the last good Forza on PC????

If nobody cared they wouldn't have so heavily covered MS BC program which was basically emulation on their machine. They could have very easily covered playing BC vs emulating on a PC.

 

[yurinka]

Needs a lot of work to reach the stability and polish of a commercial product, but the progress so far is super impressive. They are doing a great job.

They have? Where have they covered emulation of xbox or PS on PC before? I've missed it. Show me.

Couldn't care less.

Imagine how many copies of concord they could have sold if they just included a 4k60fps version of bloodborne with it.

We’re talking about Xbox emulation on PC, not BC on Xbox. The emulation projects on Xbox have been moving at a snail’s pace despite predating PS4 by years. RPCS3 is in a far better state than Xenia in large part because the community is much bigger.

You can practically count the number of Xbox games worth emulating on PC on two hands.
