Lance McDonald (Bloodborne 60 FPS patch creator) shares thoughts on Bloodborne PC rumors
- Thread starter OCD Guy
- Start date
While I trust Lance, his tweet doesn't really make sense.
A contract ending for a specific project doesn't mean there aren't contracts for other projects, and it doesn't mean they can't make another contract.
He's also not really confirming PC isnt happening, just that it isn't being done by the studio rumored.

User Banned (5 Days): Hostility and antagonizing other members over a series of posts
yes if you choose to be so hyperbolic and define yourself and your interests based on a single fucking video game
Time will tell but iam personally optimistic about it. But yeah if by any chance it gets a re-release on PS5 or PC, shit is gonna hilarious to read.
Although the developer part of the rumor still confuses me so i would really like to find out the truth behind it :D
That leak that had Days Gone and the Ninja Gaiden Trilogy before they were announced also had Bloodborne.
I still believe.

As always, time will tell. However, there's really no need to rely on rumors when facts and common sense are more than enough to form an opinion on the matter. Sony already confirmed that more of its games will be coming to PC. Souls-likes enjoy immense success on PC. Bloodborne is a core-gamer darling. It doesn't take a genious at business to realize that releasing an updated version on PS5 and PC will make Sony lots and lots of money.
This is the worst thing about remasters/faithful remakes. I'm not aware of the Demon's Souls particular issues that would require patching, but Dark Souls Remastered is pretty much the only version available on any modern platform and the ambient sounds, so critical to the game's atmosphere, just don't work properly, and nobody will patch it because nobody is getting paid to work on the game anymore.
The workaround is quite simple, if slightly annoying: you just need to reload the game after changing areas. But who will ever think of doing that on their first playthrough? And it's the one where this matters most.
It really really sucks when versions that are supposed to replace another as the definitive one end up with worse issues. Thank God Namco still sells vanilla DS2 on Steam.
I think the guy telling everyone theyre pathetic is actually more pathetic

Makes perfect sense to take his word as gospel

Thank you mods for the updated thread title.
I'm sure it will happen. If I had to guess, Sony probably wants to put some distance between such a release and the new game it released a few months ago in the genre (Demon's Souls).

People that haven't experienced BB yet should just play it on ps4. Maybe it'll get released on pc eventually, but it's not worth stressing and waiting for more than 5 years for a game you're really excited to try.
Not yet, unfortunately. I hope it eventually happens. Kind of funny that the version that replaced the original because the original needed a mod will also need a mod, but yeah, I hope it happens.
I would also play Bloodborne on PS5 (if I ever get one), but only with 60FPS update.
I wasn't the one saying it.
I just said there's nothing pathetic or embarrassing about hoping for a game to be ported to a new platform that will not only broaden the player base but also help preservation.
You seem unreasonably and unhealthily angry at the idea.
Hopefully you can find one soon, and BB gets a patch too. I'd love to revisit it again someday.
Good point but I meant in terms of the crappy performance/IQ.
He did.
I'm sure an eventual emulator and ISO will help preserve it the same way a lot of console exclusives have been.
e: I'm not anti-PC port, just saying to act like the game will vanish if it remains without a native PC port is a bit much.
Agreed. Dude coming in aggressive for what reason?
Anyways back on topic, I hope Bloodborne pc eventually happens. I don't own a gaming pc, but if a 60 fps remaster was being made for pc, you'd think a PS5 version would be coming right along side of it.
There is a part of me wondering if Sony would go full remake instead to really cash in, because I could see that happening too.
Either way, I just want my next play through of Bloodborne to be 60 fps. Playing at 60 frames this gen so far has made me a believer lol.
As I wrote above: I have no problem playing Bloodborne on PS5, but a 60 FPS update is a MUST for me personally! I'm a frame rate whore and can't accept that crappy performance which the PS4 version still has.
Yes, however:
- for emulation to be legal you technically still need to own the copy of the game and the console you've extracted the ROM from (we know no one cares but still)
- we're still many years away from perfect emulation of PS4 content as far as I'm aware
As soon as the game is released it's considered an old past released and Sony doesn't care about it. You'll be lucky if the PS5 slim is even able to play it.
i'm not against the idea. i'm not against hoping for it. i get it. i own the game. i spent triple digit hours playing it. it's a fantastic game.
but seeing how often people twist tweets or insinuate things that just aren't there in some vain attempt to pressure Sony into doing something about the game is what i find to be over-the-top. for all the people like you who come at this in good faith, there are an equal number likely attacking companies over this very game.
I dont think a bloodborne remake makes that much sense tbh. Like, sure the sales numbers compared to a patch or rerelease would be higher, but the production cost would also be so much higher they arent comparable. Would a remake sell that much more that its worth it?
There isn't really a need for Sony to invest in a remake. Even a remastered version of Bloodborne would make them a ton of money. This is also one of the reasons why I absolutely cannot understand that Bloodborne Remastered has still not been released.
I'm betting the contract would cover only stuff like game breaking bugs. Weird, but kinda makes sense, I'm sure Sony wanted to pay as little as possible and BP wanted to move on to another project asap.
I always wondered why they never patched "Splitter" face camo in MGS3 remaster being low res (not many people noticed that, but I did and it always bugged me lol) compared to others, but that would make perfect sense, project is done, there's nothing game breaking, we're moving on.
There is nothing left to patch.
Other than QOL stuff and maybe the classic soundtrack being added.
