    Wish I could actually use the patch on my PS5. Or can I? Can you softmod the PS5 or would I need to buy something to solder to the mainboard?

    I don’t think my PC could actually achieve 60fps if I emulated it.

    I think at this point that the dev has said only his website was taken down, solely because he used “Bloodborne” on it. The actual patch is fine, and can be freely shared, as I understand it.

    And it’s still accessible through the Wayback Machine soooo

      Cough… Ahem…

      I dug this out of my history, and cannot recall if this included the mod or not… However, the PS4 emulator software (I got mine directly from the Discovery app repository on linux (flatpak maybe?)) seems pretty much built for this purpose, and made the patch installation process incredibly easy. It was all built into the emulator.

      If the emulator software itself (or the patches it retrieves) were removed, I don’t quite know exactly how to re-host that…

        That’s another perspective.

        “Look it’s perfect! No bloodborne 2, no remaster, no mods, and no anime!”

        Meanwhile fans just want to share Fandom with new people’s cause it felt like a very new expirence even amongst souls games.

        share any shit you make on p2p networks. not even the feds have figured out how to take down a torrent consistently.

          That doesn’t fix the problem here though, which is that a specific distribution source took it down.

          If you want to fight Sony, go for it. If you ask for funding for a lawsuit, I’ll probably contribute. If you just redistribute over P2P, that’s cool too.

          Honestly, I am surprised that Nexus Mods hasn’t started a tracker yet.

          One can see which torrents you share. So when they can’t jail you for that - yes, but money makes laws.

      If there’s a chance of getting sued, yeah, but really my time would be better spent on mods or contributions to non proprietary games anyway.

      If a publisher doesn’t want modders improving the value of their product, I don’t feel too inclined to argue with them. There are no shortage of other games from more-amenable-to-modding publishers that could benefit from mods.

    Sony must be nearing some kind of announcement in time for the 10-year anniversary of Bloodborne’e release

    So they kind of stole the idea from him? It’s a serious copyright issue

      A lot of corps just sit on their IP:s and do stuff just this DMCA, because they like to set an example as not to touch their shit. Don’t get your hopes up for remaster.

        Yeah we know… I think the issue is more about the insane amount of money Sony is leaving on the table here, and for no reason that anyone has ever been able to figure out.

        It’s like the only PS exclusive game that has yet to have a modern remaster. It also has to be the most popular PS exclusive released in the past ~20 years. One amateur modder has shown that it’s very possible, so it’s clearly not about technical hurdles… It just makes no goddamn sense.

          It makes sense in a way that it incentivises people to go and stay in sony’s walled garden, like all exclusives do.

            No, I mean Sony could literally remake it as a PS5 exclusive, and it would single-handedly sell millions of the console.

            Like I don’t know if you understand how much money they’re leaving on the table here, even if it remains an exclusive.
