"Sony is missing out on a hugely profitable opportunity by ignoring fan demands for a Bloodborne remaster and PC port," says Ahmed from eXputer.
The Souls-like genre remains popular, along with FromSoftware's classics there are many contenders. But which are the best Souls-like games?
Hmm... In my opinion, the 7 best are the 6 made by FromSoftware (DeS, DS1, DS2, DS3, BB and ER), then Lies of P. But each to their own.
Still DS1? You don't feel it's been surpassed yet?
Demon's Souls has the remake of course, but DS1 has surely been outdated?
I think that the DS1 remake is better looking than DS2. The interior lighting matched with the low resolution textures in DS2 is very garish, IMO.
Besides graphics, what do you mean by DS1 being "outdated"? I'm someone who played through Elden Ring and just recently played through the DS series, and as far as gameplay went, there were all very similar.
I haven’t played many but Bloodborne and NIOH1 are on top of my list.. had a blast with these 2
For world design and interconnectedness (that's a word, right?) DS1 is yet to be beaten.
I would agree, but there are some things in DS2 that are great and incredibly memorable. It tries to do things differently, and there are some amazingly cinematic moments.
Of course, there's also poor level design (particularly the interconnectivity of the world), questionable combat choices and some of the worst boss runs since the early days of video games...
Saad from eXputer: "Almost a decade later, it's time to take the nostalgia goggles off and accept that Bloodborne has long been surpassed by its successors."
Yes, yes it does. It’s still a great game. Elden Ring isn’t better just different and a bit easier . I like that you have to be aggressive but smart in Bloodborne
I literally replayed it recently and it's better than I remember. I think it's like going back to a beloved book and noticing things I hadn't before.
Yo! I was getting ready to reply with the exact same four words you started with lol. Yes, I think Bloodborne has withstood the test of time and remains a great game. That’s why all the fans are hoping for a sequel someday. Hoping that we can catch that magic again with a new storyline.
Yes. Just replayed it a few days ago. My first Platinum. And yes. I rage quitted so many times and called it BS too when I started. It's tight. The combat is amazing and the lore is rich.
Elden Ring was easier? I don’t know about that at all. I remember leveling up in Bloodborne and breezing through it. In Elden Ring no matter how powerful I got I was still catching a beat down from every boss.
That's due to scaling enemies. I remember not doing Haligtree untill near the end and having enemies withstand almost a full blast from Azur's Glintstone Staff Comet Azure. My level was quite high.
Melee characters are not fun in that game, especially for the Elden Beast.
FromSoft boss Hidetaka Miyazaki has discussed the possibility of a Bloodborne remake, and the benefits of waiting for new hardware on which to revisit the beloved PlayStation 4 classic.
Yo, I wish we'd do sequels more. Like, don't get me wrong I'd play this, but it's disheartening to here Remake this and Remaster that, when I'd love to see more of the universe with new surprises and experiences.
..But how then would management and shareholders continue to strangle the industry with their capitalist continual profit growth strategies???
/s
Haha, I mean I get that they’re cheaper to produce… I think. But I’m thinking of things like Dead Space Remake and how it would’ve been cool to actually get a next-gen Dead Space 4 and just wow players with new things. Same with this, I mean, yea the game is flippin’ amazing, but I really would rather see newer things that expand the lore and universe than to continuously play through a prettier version of the same game.
I see articles on here saying such and such should get a Remake and Remaster and it makes me so grateful we didn’t have this mentality in the good ol’ days when we could get Dead Space 1-3, Resident Evil 1-3 on PS1, etc. I just miss when sequels were in demand and not saying, “Hey this was such a great game last-gen let’s totally remake it on current-gen!!!”
@CrimsonWing69
Yeah, I agree. While I appreaciate DS remake, A fourth game would have been cooler, then they could have thrown a quick collection of ports together to supplement.
If they do a bloodborne remake, I want Miyazaki to take the helm on the project. Bluepoint does great work but they ruined the feel of the original demons souls particularly with their music remakes. Not everything needs a choir.
Yeah, I didn't realise at the time since I never played the original, but seeing the side by side footage made me dislike it more and I'd be mad if they messed with Bloodborne like that
Yes! I think BB def has one of the best soundtracks in the souls series right next to DMS imo. What they did to the fools idol theme was infuriating and I'm annoyed that people think the remake music fits. It doesn't.
No. The remake is still my game if the gen not counting VR. The graphics are a great improvement.
No doubt the graphics are a major improvement, don't think anyone is denying that. However, the tone of the game completely shifted with the music. Every boss is now an epic battle and to give this a pass shows that you simply don't understand the lore and story behind the characters. DMS is not supposed to grandiose such as DS3 and so to give a heroic theme to a character like garl vinland is to have completely misunderstood the tragedy behind him and astraea.
Blupoint makes excellent graphics but it's clear they don't invest time into the lore which is why they totally misfired with the music. I also read some people were upset with certain things in their other remakes so it's not surprising that this happened. All the more reason why Miyazaki needs to be in control.
I’ll definitely take another Bluepoint port here though. Regarding De Souls Remake; the music didn’t bother me, and the graphics and fluidity were better than what other studios would have achieved, including From.
Well that pretty much confirms the PS6 rumor. Probably launch showcase title like Demon's Souls
Bloodborne came out on the PS4. It is owned by From Software. What missed opportunity? I am sure the people at From Software know what they are doing. Especially since they are hiring devs instead of laying them off.
Maybe do an article about that instead of writing a hit piece on them acting like they don't know how to run their business.
It will be a launch title on PS6 just like the remake of Demon's Souls for PS5 launch
Sony realizes people will flock to buy ps6s for a bloodborne remake. Easy money.
Rumored it’s slated for PS6 launch. Some say PS5 Pro. Who knows ?
Highly requested, unfortunately neglected.
