I assume the Bloodborne remaster only hasn't happened yet because of licensing issues and/or the game code being difficult to navigate, if Sony thought they could make a quick buck from reselling a game that isn't even 10 years old yet they absolutely would.

I know people like to complain about exaggerated studio expectations but no, Sony did not expect a launch title for a console to sell 20 million copies. Like to be clear, an attach rate of 25% for a console launch is absurdly successful. (That's about what BotW did on the Switch for example.)

Yeah it's been alluded to in earlier posts but a ton of games were definitely not helped by covid. Substantial increase in dev costs due to needing to adjust to wfh and also pay for longer due to delays, plus if you were making a PS5 exclusive that was never going to do well thanks to the crazy shortage in PS5s, again likely instigated by covid.

The leak revealed how much Sunset Overdrive made in profit for Insomniac...

$567

That's not a typo.

Now this is especially funny because of how precise and close to zero it is. I'd imagine most games and, hell, any multi-million dollar product in general, either loses bigly (like in the millions of dollars range) or brings in millions in profit at least. The fact that it so precisely hit what is essentially within a dozen or so launch copies of breaking even is quite something.

I'm starting to suspect it was targeted to appeal to a specific hardcore audience who would be open to buying an entire console for just that game

How is Metal Hellsinger? The concept sounds neat, but a rhythm-based fps on console sounds like it could be really bad, for me, someone who is not very good at playing normal fps games with a controller as is.

I lasted maybe 10 minutes on the game pass version. Having a shot lined up and needing to wait for a beat to fire felt awful to me

Isn’t there some fan-made patch you can run on a modded console to get it running at 60fps with no issues?

Doesn't seem like it's open world so if it's a "wide linear" game then I'm cool with 15 hours of focused gameplay and not driving Wolverine around on a motorcycle to find stunt ramps to add 2% fire splash damage to Hot Claws.

It's a patch that inserts the relevant parts of the Dark Souls 3 engine into the Bloodborne engine, which works because the one was evolved from the other in the first place. I don't think it's entirely without issues, though

The lack of a Bloodborne remaster is probably just due to someone running the numbers and deciding that a remake of a difficult action-horror game from eight years ago that everyone can play through BC anyway would probably not be a big sales superstar

Yeah it's a hugely appealing but to a slice of the hardcore segment. It would move consoles though, it would make a lot of sense as a launch game

I don't know the technical specifics but if that's true, this is another reason it's unlikely that Sony could do anything similar without significantly more work. Unlike already legally dubious fan patches, Sony can't simply reverse engineer another studio's game and use it to improve their own.

I've given up on this ever happening. I thought Demon's Souls Remake was suppose to come to PC, but it looks like that won't happen either.

i think it was lance mcdonald who said the code line change would take 5 mins for flawless 60fps. its probably licensing/right time/gaas push and fail. maybe the dream will happen again...

it might be weird open world, like tlou2 section. there seems to be different zones that are explorable, its not quite spider-man new york but still open? i cant tell. they refer to it as open world on one page and wide linear on another

Ya it's kinda weird to say BB sold poorly when it released super early in the consoles life.

Also I think 50% of Elden Ring's sales were on PC. I firmly believe Demon Souls or BB on Steam would completey destroy any big triple a sony ip in pc sales and would set a record for them. Souls games are bigger than ever after ER and Sony just has 2 of the best in the franchise sitting their lap but they don't want to put it on the platform where it will sell like hotcakes.
