Bloodborne 10 years Remaster: what to change?

[Silva]

Current gossip on webz is that Sony is planning a 10 years Remaster, to be released in 2025 on PC and PS5. Assuming it's true, what should be changed?

I'll start:

1. Make blood vials Estus-like (but keep silver bullets as is, I like it).
2. Rework Chalices into something more dynamic and varied.
3. Improve Gfx. Besides the obvious 60fps, give it better Anti-aliasing, a higher resolution (with accompnying better textures), and better Lighting so visuals become more vibrant and less grayish.

4 (optional) make build-relevant gear available by midgame at most. Creating a build knowing you'll only get the key-items for it by lategame is terrible, and something BB sinned more than other souls.

Decline, git gud.

How about no? Bloodborne is perfectly fine as it is. Changing the game into another Souls will just downgrade the game into an uninspired hollow Souls copycat.

I never played the game because it had no shields.

No shields, no buy.

Haha, fuck you, I still remember that rumours about 5 years Remaster from 2019.

Come on, you must admit it's very frustrating when you're new to the game, gets stuck in a boss, and have to waste time just farming vials. I don't see a problem in keeping the concept for silver bullets as these are not so crucial for survivability, though.

How about no? Bloodborne is perfectly fine as it is. Changing the game into another Souls will just downgrade the game into an uninspired hollow Souls copycat.

Beast and Kin forms are only available at the end of DLC. Same for some weapons. I find this disincentivizes restarting the game sometimes, knowing it will take a long time to get the gear you're building for.

5. Keep Bluepoint and their shitty character designers away from it.

There is only one change I would really like to see in a remaster. All chalice dungeons should be sinster root chalice dungons (with optional cursed and defiled versions) and you shouldn't be forced to redo them with each of your characters. Besides that, nothing should be changed. Game is near perfect.

Great idea, yeah. And with added variety of levels+ aesthetics + monsters, this could make the chalices actually great.

Edit: and maybe make the "story-chalices" required for each playthrough much shorter? Like, just a single, multi-level one?

No!

2. Rework Chalices into something more dynamic and varied.

Preferably, by deleting them from the game.

3. Improve Gfx. Besides the obvious 60fps, give it better Anti-aliasing, a higher resolution (with accompnying better textures), and better Lighting so visuals become more vibrant and less grayish.

Isn't this the only thing a remaster is supposed to do anyway? If it's a remaster and not a remake, it shouldn't mess with gameplay mechanics.

You mean, people need something other than the cane and pistol?

 

[Silva]

Oh fuck, Skinwalker is in the room. I bet he'll disagree with every point I made just because.

Edit: ditto.

 

[Strange Fellow]

1: Put it on PC.
2: Done.

 

[Skinwalker]

Because you're retarded.

 

[Skinwalker]

Also, if they do a remaster, I hope they make it a PS5 exclusive.

 

[Dadd]

Chalice dungeon generation and rewards could improve from added complexity.

The good thing is that if it doesn't happen this year then we're basically done for the rumors for another 10 years.

And the PC untermenschen still don't get their filthy hands on it.

It would be emulated at this point.

There are shields in the game, I even used it for some time.

Edit: Holy shit, I've posted in the weeaboo section. I need desinfection now :/

 

[Elttharion]

Port it to PC and uncap the framerate and resolution.

 

[MasPingon]

1 Don't fucking touch gameplay, mechanics and design
2 Give us 60 fps
3 Oh God it'z heavens

 

[normie]

I don't want a fucking remaster, just port the original
which of course allows you to double dip later on with a remaster, I'd just like the superior version first

Something unique to BB that it's not usually found in other souls, is the dynamic engagements that could happen in chalices, which turned the experience into a Hades-like action game. It didn't happen always, mostly on deeper dungeons with those bell maidens summoning waves of enemies at you. Differently from the default game(s) where you memorize the levels and know exactly where enemies come from, here you would find yourself frequently surprised and swarmed by enemies and having to react on the fly, making for pretty tense and exhilarating moments.

I'd like to see this more of this in the eventual remaster/remake.

Fabulously optimistic: the thread

Moar black people.

Vials forcing you to grind for non-perfect play and the horrible frame rate breaking a game focused on precise timing killed Bloodborne for me. At least with Demon's Souls the cheap grass was easy enough to get 99 of for out of battle healing, but BB ruined even that. It adds nothing to the game but a money sink (in a game that doesn't need a money sink) and tedium.
