Review: Bloodborne (PlayStation 4)
Stop us if you've heard this one before, but an eerie confluence of events has us excited about Bloodborne again, that excellent, exclusive FromSoftware joint on PS4. Gluttons for punishment that we are, we can't help but pathetically get our hopes up. What's the worst that could happen? We've been hurt by Sony before and almost certainly will be again.
On X, account FromSoft News connected the dots and realised that Bloodborne, released in 2015, is scheduled to undergo server maintenance on 3rd December 2024. This is fantastic stuff for those of you who are conspiratorially minded, who will recall that it is also the date teased in PlayStation's latest, seemingly innocuous ad. It's also PlayStation's 30th Anniversary, which seems the sort of thing you'd want to commemorate.
With all sorts of disparate threads seemingly converging, it's starting to feel like something does have to happen next Tuesday.

I want to believe. Pretty much an X-Files episode at this point.
Half Life 3 and Metal Gear Solid remake up next, I CAN FEEL IT.
Man I’d love a remaster to be announced. It has to be time!
I still say it’ll be a PS6 launch title. Hope I’m wrong, but that’s my gut feeling.

I'm not even a fan of Bloodborne, but I do love these articles and the way they're written 😅 I want to be apart of the sadomasochistic crowd!

At this point, if theres not a show the 3rd, its just mean.
Don't give me hope.
Jeff Grubb already said this is just Server maintenance and nothing more. Don't hype up non-stories Push Square and then be surprised the comments section is getting increasingly toxic.

Expect nothing and you won't be disappointed
@Balaam_ I genuinely back this. I think it makes sense that Sony have avoided pushing any kind of remaster to this point, or even 60fps patch, due to full investment in a 'from-the-ground-up' remake.
Also, Bluepoint have been incredibly quiet since Sony's acquisition of them...

I genuinely didn’t even realize that Bloodbourne had “performance issues” until a couple years ago when people calling for a remaster was plastered absolutely everywhere.
Played it back in 2016 and it was a 10/10 game. I would absolutely lose it if they announced a Bloodbourne 2 but really don’t have interest at all in some kind of remaster.

@breakneck So what? I'm not saying it's more than that, but Jeff can get things wrong too.

Probably a PS5 Pro patch or something
I refuse to get my hopes up for anything else lol
Sony has never even considered a remaster/60fps patch for this game. We are just trolling ourselves. We are living in a simulation.

Bloodborne was my first physical PS4 game that i bought after i got a PS4 back in 2015 and i still have the copy. But as much as i love the game, i never feel the need for a remaster.
People made a fuss about the frame pacing and one of the reason why it needs a remaster. But i never feel any problems with my 80 hours playingtime with the game outside the kinda long loading screen.
So it's a bit funny to see people still expecting for Bloodborne remaster / PC port and then got dissapointed from rumors.
@MeanBeanEgg He can but if it is false and it is nothing more, it will just further incense an already psychotic crowd.

NEWS FLASH.... Sony just announced on their blog that they plan to turn of Bloodborne servers on Dec 3. Apparently Sony explain a lack of gamer engagement as the reason.
Sorry... it couldn't be helped... you can breath now.
Bunch of friggin conspiracy theorists lol 😆
I played the beginning of Bloodborne. It was quite boring and I put it down. Why y'all want a remake of that? So you can put the game away in sixty frames per second?!

Just give me Bloodborne at 60fps and I’m happy, any other extras like higher resolutions are a bonus. But I’d love a full Bluepoint games remake like Demon’s Souls, still one of the most stunning games on PS5 and plays like a dream
I don't wanna get hurt again 😞
@EfYI just because you found it boring, doesn’t mean other people don’t like it
@Sora420
Actually, the time-space continuum bows only to me and the earthling called checks notes 'Chuck'.
You see Concord was destined to be the future of PlayStation but then I decided I didn't like it without even trying it! Coincidence? I think not.
Hoooooooly Cleric Beast.... Knack 3 confirmed!!!
I said it earlier, at this point Push Square just take any far fetched rumour to troll us about BB. Not nice.
@EfYI The beginning? First packs in that townsquare?, first optional boss?(Cleric Beast), First real boss? (Father Gascoigne)
Until you at least cleared Father Gascoigne you haven't really tasted the sweetness that is Bloodborne. And that is nothing compared to the entire journey. It may not be for everyone, but if you give it time, you won't regret it.
Don't be so fast to write it off.

@EfYI you are coming across as quite ignorant or are you deliberately trying to incur the wrath of the bloodborne enthusiasts? The game couldn't have been that boring for you to take the time to comment on something you obviously have zero interest in.
@themightyant yep! Hierarchy of hype for me would be:
60fps addition < Remaster < Bluepoint Remake < Sequel
But literally any of those would make me happy.

@EfYI You said the beginning was boring so my guess is you only played the game like 10 minutes, died for the first time by the beast, then you got angry and stop playing? Or you reach the townsquare and got bodied by the towns mob or executioner?
I mean. It's weird to see someone said the beginning of Bloodborne is boring when the beginning is that time when players has a lot of questions like what the hell is happening with Yharnam, why the player got blood transfusion, who's that wheelchair guy, etc etc which is enough motivation for players to keep playing and found out the answers.
Heck, even when players played long enough to get some answers, the game has multiple ending and plenty of optional / secret stuff that could change players perception about what's really happening with Yharnam.
Not to mention the fast pace combat without a shield to bloc & turtling instead you got a blunderbuss and saw cleaver that pushed players to keep the offensive while parrying / dodging enemies attack is not even close to the word 'boring'.
But eh, i guess some people just doesn't like Souls games...
