Sony Polls Players on Favourite Games That Aren't Bloodborne | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

PlayStation Studios has churned out some fairly immaculate AAA bangers over the years, and now the firm is applying the screws to fans, asking them to pick their favourites. In a tournament-style Twitter poll designed to crown «which PlayStation game reigns supreme», Sony has infuriated long-suffering FromSoftware fans by not including the cult classic Bloodborne amongst the contenders, the latest in a long line of indignities the fanbase has endured.

What was no doubt intended to be some light-hearted community engagement quickly turned contentious once the selection was revealed. Of the 16 contestants, all belong to PlayStation's first-party family, with the pedantic exception of Demon's Souls, Bluepoint's excellent remake of FromSoftware's earliest Souls foray, which was published by Sony (Bluepoint was acquired after the launch of Demon's Souls on PS5).

If we had to guess, that acquisition is likely the reason why the formative Demon's Souls snuck in ahead of the revolutionary Bloodborne. Still, fans have already resigned themselves to further misery, as they seem to revel in it. Judging by the replies alone, if Bloodborne were on the list, it would sweep the competition in a landslide.

What do you think? Did you cast your vote? Would you have rather voted for Bloodborne, given the choice? Are we doomed to dream of a remake, or at least an official 60fps patch forever? Let us know in the comments section below.

With five years of experience as a freelance journalist and mercenary wordsmith, RPGs are his first great love, but strategy and tactics games are a close second, genres in which he is only too happy to specialize.

I really find it weird how Sony is just straight up ignoring Bloodborne. Like they even took out Lady Maria from the Woman's day art.

Did we really need two TLOU and GoW and THREE Spider-Man titles in this?

Edit: didn't notice Horizon for
