So why do you think Bloodborne hasn't received a 60 FPS patch yet?
- Thread starter Spehornoob
- Start date
Yes, but BB is a game that people would pay for a upgrade. That is a product that can still move a lot of money, therefore they will put some work on it someday.
Lance managed to fix most of the issues, look at his last vid on the 720p60 patch. And btw, since Sony did not confirm BB port/remaster/remake, Lance promised he would release 60fps patch for homebrew PS4 consoles.

Which is nonsense for some of these games. Bloodborne would require work, but God of War and Last Guardian could be done by one person in a short period of time as they were originally running the way people want them to now.
If I were to guess, they would want demon souls to be the soulsbourne game for the release period. Bloodborne will possiblty eat through Demon Souls' sales if it had a patch the same day as Demon Souls was coming out.
When release starts to sunset and sales needs a boost, they could work on/release all the patches for more games that will pull in more purchasers. You gotta leave some cards on your hand and not blow it all at once. I can see them doing this when there is more or less a drought in first party releases. Possibly some time in 2022.

Pretty much this - just throw in Opportunity cost into the equation
A combination of a potential remaster and not being worth the time and effort.
I'm sure at some point there will be a full remastering of the game because eventually every decent game receives some sort of re-release these days. Any patch that they give away for free is negating a future selling point for the remaster which they would charge for.

Nobody at Sony or From cares enough to put in the resources, or they believe it wouldn't make sense financially. Don't forget it never even got a pro patch.
I don't know that a remaster is coming either, despite this board's efforts to will it into existence.

Feels like everything with these new consoles, and games are coming in super hot due to the pandemic. Give Sony, and From Software some time before going all doom and gloom on a Bloodborne patch. I imagine they are super busy trying to keep their own studio critical projects on the rails, and it isn't that they don't care.
I don't thini we'll be getting a remaster since bloodborne is in the ps+collection. Why would the vast majority of consumers rebuy a game they were given for free? A remaster does not make financial sense considering they gave out the game to ps5 owners. A 60 fps patch would be our best hope but it seems it won't happen. A pc port could still happen tho.
This has been one of the most upsetting thing this past generation for me. I was hoping for something when the ps4 pro came out but still nothing.
I've been dying to re-play it since launch but after playing Souls and sekiro on at 60fps on PC - I just can't go back.
This is where give kudos to MS where if they had a game as popular as BB, they would've given it the treatment fans wanted. It's not like Sony doesn't know how much we love this game.

Its sold much more than 2 million copies. It sold that the end of 2015. Its lifetime sales likely closer to 5.
Still, not a sales behemoth but might be worth looking in to a remaster from Sonys perspective. They likely wont though.
Our only hope is a pc release.
How are we feeling about the likelihood of this? I just got the plat in Demon's Souls, which made me want to go back and do the same in BB. I don't want to wait around forever hoping they'll patch in an unlocked framerate, and yet...
I'm gonna go with this. FROM has neither the interest nor the resources to dedicate towards patching it, and Sony does not want/have access to BB's engine/source to do it themselves. I'm not sure with these first-party exclusive partnerships, how much access Sony gets to BB beyond the IP itself, does anyone?
It isn't going to happen for a while if at all. They want people to buy Demon's Souls if they want to play a Soulsborne game on PS5 at 60fps.
The game is also about five years old. I don't think there's much development going on with it.

Because one single dude managed to hack a 60fps mode all by himself without access to the original development resources. Bluepoint could probably take care of this in extremely little time, being so familiar with From's technology already.
Commonly known as the game of the generation. A first party Sony game.
Fromsoft needs to sign off on it and develop it.
Honestly, Sony should use some of that PSPlus $$$ to fund PS4 BC patches like this, and maybe even a few PS5 mode patches for older PS4 games that allow them to be run with the full system power and not in the BC tiers.
Throw em on Plus every month for subs to grab as they want. Could be a big value added section of plus and probably wouldn't cost much, while driving more sales (and licensing dollars)

What did they do for Days Gone?
I think the real reason is they want all the attention on Demon's Souls Remake and are planning a remaster to re-sell next year.
On ERA? Perhaps.. In general? Not really.
All of the people who are clamoring for this already own the game. Unless they are going to make you pay for it, its not worth it for Sony at this time. They very much seem to be in the business of making money over PR wins right now. They also want you to buy a PS5 and Demon Souls remaster.
It's an older game and a patch is not worth the time or resources. It's just very unlikely to result in more sales, so I don't know why From would go through the effort.
I guess a remaster is possible, but I just have to imagine From is currently busy with other things - Elden Ring is supposedly their biggest game production-wise by a large margin, and I would not be shocked if they're also working on Bloodborne 2.
