It's good to see they have a common development platform, it saves time and makes it more likely to get a bloodborne on something else than PS4 one day :)
It's very funny that GTAV is becoming the easiest way to preview 3D assets though xD

So basically cathedral ward was a level they started designing to be part of the original dark souls. Then they scrapped it for whatever reason only to resurrect it for Bloodborne?
But what's really strange is the fact that Demons Souls levels are in the dark souls files...

na I bet they just imported it for the assets in the new version and never bothered to delete the skeleton left over
Boletaria is interesting tho. I bet they originally pitched Demon's but got declined and ended up doing Dark instead, hence it being there as it was the first thing they made.
Well on one hand that's probably true on the other, why would boletaria, an asset from a game that released prior to dark souls be present in the remaster and not in the original dark souls release?

No it's probably just design files that got left in. Maybe someone in game dev could explain why this would happen but it's not that rare.
Wasn't there a Gears of War gun model inside Demon's Souls or something or am I making this up...
Ooow... yeah that's more like that, you are most probably right :( darn... you're sharper than me today, i've not had my coffee yet.
To be sure, the same should be done on original DS packages to see if it's still there.
Are any of the assets in the remaster from Bloodborne though? I've not played the remaster yet so haven't managed to take a look first hand yet.
Oh I have no idea I haven't played it either, it just wouldn't shock me if that was the reason. Usually when stuff like this happens it's usually for reasons like that lol
According to wikipedia, FromSoft started development of Bloodborne while they were making the Prepare to Die edition of Dark Souls.
Lance said the file creation comes from OG DS1. QLOC forgot to delete all the original test maps in the remaster.
The tweet in the OP says the files were originally created a long time ago when Dark Souls was in development.
The remastered team most likely got sent all the source code files from the original game, including all of the unfinished assets.
Considering there's a Demons Souls level in there as well its more likely the original dark souls team used the Demons Souls level as a testbed rather than the cathedral ward level being used as a test for the remaster.
That's pretty odd, and I assume because FROM is a Japanese company, we're never going to get a neat explanation for this kind of thing.
Also taking the level and opening it in GTAV is really hilarious.

Bloodborne started development while AotA was being worked on. Development likely started out using the base DS engine and was built upon and later the project moved to PS4.
What's cool is that there was originally an elevator shaft that connected the Lumenflower Gardens to the base of the Cathedral. If you've watched Lance Mcdonald do some Bloodborne hacking, you can see this rough layout when the area is loaded in a lower LOD.

Embedded tweets only work for me half the time when I'm on mobile for whatever reason, I didn't even see it lol
Yeah, development of games can be a messy thing. Especially if a franchise uses the same engine for a long time. All sorts of content from the old games and maybe upcoming games is used for testing.
Lol wouldn't read too much into this. Bolataria was more than likely an asset they brought to Dark souls to test out a few things since they had the thing made already. Cathedral ward is interesting but I'm guessing it's just a remenant of when they were prototyping Bloodborne.
Cathedral Ward is outstanding level design. Pretty crazy if they were sitting on it since Dark Souls 1.
This is really fucking weird. After reading the writeup in the OP, I wonder if this was simply a level that was designed for Dark Souls and didn't make it into the game, and was repurposed for one of their later games (Bloodborne,) rather than a level that was taken from a later title (Bb.)
Well, Dark Souls 3, but that's pretty much the same thing.
Miyazaki and the team went straight from the Dark Souls DLC to Bloodborne.
From has a habit of carrying forward older content.
