Just remake the damn game already, Sony.
y'all really still letting corpos tell you what you can and can't share?
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.
I don't feel too inclined to argue with them
Interestingly, that makes me feel a bit inclined to argue with you about this.
To me, it just feels like...
"No, you can't upgrade your old car speakers, because the custom ones would be too loud."
"No, you can't upgrade the seats, because the 3rd party ones are way too comfortable."
"No, you can't keep that Wunderbaum dangling under the mirror, it modifies the smell and it's too damn fresh for you!"
Well, actually, it's more like...
"No, silly, you simply can't use those carefully crafted custom-made playing pieces, cards or high-DPI printed board to extend/change this board game to your liking, since we didn't sell you any of that..."
As you see it, what's the difference? Or would you in fact just happily accept those scenarios too?
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.
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
$10 says they just copy his mod code, refactoring & obfuscate it, then sell it as remastered
Why they don't launch rpsc3 code on ps5 tho?
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.
Someone really hates bloodborne at sony.
They love it so much they don't want anyone else to have it or for it to ever change even slightly.
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.
What is the DMCA argument here? Does anyone know what was alleged by Sony?
It would need to be either using copyrighted code or circumventing copy protection. Neither seems likely for a frame rate mod.
Someone fucking mirror it
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...
Thanks much
Like @[email protected] said, there's a flatpak PS4 emulator that makes it trivial to apply the patch, as demonstrated here.
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 sooooIt means they are preparing to launch the remake on PC /s
Don't worry, DODI still got it.
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.
ShadPS4 has improved a lot recently, I got it going at 60 fps but not sure what your hardware is
