Bloodborne is the best game ever and it’s a scandal it’s not on PS5 – Reader’s Feature

metro.co.uk:

A reader is frustrated that Bloodborne still doesn’t have a dedicated PS5 version and is confused as to why Sony never talks about it.

I see a lot of people waiting for more news on God Of War Ragnarök, or the next big PlayStation 5 exclusive, but there’s only one word I want to hear from Sony: ‘Bloodborne’. There are many mysteries surrounding Sony’s future plans but the most mystifying for me is why they have completely ignored Bloodborne. There’s been no PlayStation 5 patch, no talk of remasters or remakes, and definitely nothing about a sequel. In short, they haven’t mentioned it all.

This is infuriating to me for two reasons: 1) it has some performance issues that could very easily be fixed by the PlayStation 5 and 2) it’s the best game ever.

You can run Bloodborne on the PlayStation 5, as an ordinary PlayStation 4 game, and this does help speed up the loading times, which were one of the big problems. But if there was a proper patch it would be even better, and it could help sort out some of the frame rate issues too, and make the whole thing 60fps. All of this, various hackers have shown, could be done with absolutely minimum effort – a few days’ work at best – and yet Sony has done nothing.

I’m sure they’re busy doing… something, but many other, lesser, games have had a similar patch and most of those came out in the first weeks of the PlayStation 5. It clearly wasn’t a big effort, and they didn’t even try to charge for them; they were just free updates to take advantage of the new hardware. So the idea that you’d do some and not others makes no sense.

Some people have suggested that Sony and developer FromSoftware must have had some kind of a falling out. That does make sense, in that it seems to fit the facts,
