From a business and/or technical perspective, why is Bloodborne one of the few exclusives Sony has not pledged to bring to PC?
Why Not?
Kys
Complex joint-enterprise publishing deal that would probably take some serious paperwork and money changing hands to finalize.
No (You)
Surely to god Sony has a fine print clause to just release it when it wished after X number of years? They surely haven't got intricate minefield to navigate anywhere else seen as how they keep dropping old exclusives on to steam like there's no tomorrow.
Why would they? I have no idea what the streaming numbers are like, but if they're meaningful I don't see any reason Sony would give that up. By "PC" you're talking about Windows? I assume Microsoft would have to pay out to Sony and they just haven't had the interest
It's from Japan Studios and anything made by them recently is a big taboo for Sony, they'd rather miss out on millions rather than recognize JS's involvement with recent Sony games.
>By "PC" you're talking about Windows?
>By "PC" you're talking about Windows? I assume Microsoft would have to pay out to Sony and they just haven't had the interest
No, I was merely thinking about Mac Os.
It was co-developed by Japan Studio. don't expect it to come to PC.

Because people only say it's good because it's a PS exclusive. If it comes to PC, people will see it for what it really is.
Sony hates Bloodborne and FromSoftware, they will never bring Bloodborne to PC. They only allowed Demon's Souls Remake to shit on Demon's Souls and kill the original FromSoftware version for good.
emulation is coming along nicely, well be able to emulate AAA ps4 games within 2-3 years at this rate
It requires too much work for a niche title. All the physics are locked to the framerate which caps at 30 so they have to recode the game which is not going to happen just for a PC port. PCfags won't tolerate 30 fps and the fan patch isn't perfect, so it's not something they could get away with selling. You have to wait for Sony to remake or remaster it for PS5 or PS6 first. Or wait for Spine to get good.
The only promising PS4 emulator is exclusive to Linux right now, isn't it?
It literally wouldn't exist without them. How could they "hate it"? What is this schizophrenia?
Can Bloodborn be emulated on PC? The game looks really interesting.
Yeah, in 5 years. A couple years after that for 60f
yeah, PCopes will see it for From's best release ever
likely some contract stipulation that Bloodborne can only exist on the PS4. I imagine fromsoft does this to exercise leverage over sony, would explain why DeS was never re-released, instead being completely remade.
yes because ps4 os orbis is just a fork of openbsd and that runs easily with a linux compatibility layer. once spine goes open source there will be an immediate demand for a windows fork from OSlets that cannot into installing Ubuntu. only spinedevs autism is preventing it from being playable on windows right now.
>By "PC" you're talking about Windows?
What is the situation here?
They hate FromSoftware for becoming succesfull without Sony. They hate that Bloodborne didn't sell nearly as well as Dark Souls games, especially Dark Souls 3. It was leaked document, Sony higherups believe that FromSoftware would have been a Sony first party by now if Shuhei Yoshida didn't fuck up with Demon's Souls.
>What is this schizophrenia?
No idea, ask Sony
Probably because they just fired SJS which helped From make the game, so its either get From fully onboard which they may not have any interest or outsource it because holy shit bluepoint would just fuck it up.
I can see Sony remaking it instead of porting, like they did with Demon's Souls.
I mean there's rumor they're making TLOU remake.
>They hate FromSoftware
And they show it by making DeS remake a PS5 launch title?
DeS Remake was made out of spite to ruin the legacy of souls games and Demon's Souls, that is why they made drastic redesigns. Demon's Souls also failed to sell anywhere near expected, it was the last spit and disrespect towards FromSoftware. They will whore it out to PC in the future, and that is the end.
It's because of how the game is coded where it it breaks if the game goes over 30fps, preventing a quick and easy port. Jesus christ the schizo larps in here are fucking hilarious.
Do you have literally any proof of this? Keep in mind, they've inked a deal for more games with them.
>spends millions of dollars to spite on From
ok, schizo
It's the same engine as DS3 and the following games.
A modder made a 60 fps hack for Bloodborne without access to source code by just comparing the DS3's patch with the launch version.
The only broken thing I found out was clothes physics with 60 fps hack.
I asked Sony and they have no idea what he's talking about. It seems he's just making up shit in his head.
>Keep in mind, they've inked a deal for more games with them.
This is the most retarded false rumor that is still being spread, fuck off.
Bloodborne will never be on PC. What you will get is a Bloodborne Demake by Bluepoint for PC.
Yeah dude, totally.
>Meanwhile, back in reality, Fromsoft signs up for more Sony exclusive
They're not going to sell the game with clothes physics like that though. They'd have to go about changing it in a more in depth and costly way to bring the presentation up to everyone's standards and a straight 30FPS port would be met with derision. Maybe post Elden Ring they have more interest in investing money into doing a port but the answer to why they don't port it is simply "it's not worth the cost". Which is the same reason Spiderman will never be ported thanks to Disney taking a huge cut of the sales.
Why is it? Why would a company that has done 3 exclusives with Sony not do more?
This is the true fear right here. I'm laughing at this seethe and cope.
They literally missed out twice on the better From games (not that they would have played Demon's when it was current anyways). The fear is palpable
>you gotta do work to get money
Don't be retarded. Dark Souls 3 was made in the same way as it was locked to 30 fps and after they were done with the console version they started porting it to PC by changing the variable to take the variable frametime in calculations.
And ever since Horizon's broken PC launch, Sony actually does a good job on PC versions.
Hell, for PC version of God of War they actually went as far as to improve and polish the cutscenes and animations so they work properly at ultrawide fov.
DS3 did not have physics tied to the games framerate, it was only locked to 30fps on consoles. That is a very different thing, it's like how most Switch games can be emulated at 60 fps easily without any detriment despite being capped at 30 on the Switch but occasionally you have retarded devs like Gamefreak put out titles like PLA where the game shits itself if you attempt to go over 30 fps.
>DS3 did not have physics tied to the games framerate, it was only locked to 30fps on consoles.
You might be slow, you know that? I'm speechless
Personally I feel like part of it is just that the game hasn’t been touched for ages. I imagine there’d be a whole bunch of awkward paperwork and reorganising a group of people into making a pc port. Doubt there’s just spare people at fromsoft to just chuck onto a project when Sony pays for it, and the people who actually worked on bloodborne specifically might not be available. If they have to give a package to someone like bluepoint it might be more doable but they’d just do a remake at that point.
Just bringing an old game that’s been sitting there in who knows what condition back in a company that’s busy with other games isn’t super easy.
I doubt Sony we’re envisioning a move to lots of pc ports back when bloodborne came out either.
You are retarded.
Fear of what? You are retarded.
PS5 version first. That's probably the main reason. It is one of very few system sellers they have though so maybe it will stay exclusive.
you don't need to believe me but i speak only the truth, Bloodborne will never come to PC, at least not in a way it was on PS, the game was rushed as fuck and it's code was put together with superglue, on top of that numerous sources claim that From themselves lost the source code short while after the Old Hunters release, don't believe that faggot Lance McDonald, he has no legitimate insider info and it's mostly just guesswork, so yeah, in order for Bloodborne to come to PC they would have to remake the entire game from scratch, at this point it's more likely Bluepoint's remake will come out first
why is Yea Forums so retarded?
>dude it doesn't work properly
>one faggot manages to get out a 60fps patch with very few issues
off yourself retard
This. No game ever developed by Japan Studios has ever come to PC. Bloodborne pc never ever.
It's one of Sony's in house developers. They only work on playstation exclusives.
user if they released that exact fan patch everyone would shit on the pc port for looking like unfinished trash...
god you're so fucking braindead holy shit...
The physics part makes the most sense. I was unaware that is why the frames are capped.
I am aware Japan studio is in house but why is there a taboo about touching their work. If Sony own them, they should be able to do whatever they want surely?
>one guy who had to make a guess work by manually changing hex values of something he had no certainty what it is
>versus a company full of programmers, including people who actually wrote said code, with access to source code and the comments
i hope spine stays linux only so people like you stay filtered and keep port begging for another 7 years.
>All the physics are locked to the framerate which caps at 30 so they have to recode the game which is not going to happen just for a PC port.
>The physics part makes the most sense. I was unaware that is why the frames are capped.
Why is Yea Forums so fucking retarded, holy fucking shit. Please tell me it's a falseflag
Japan Studio has been nuked by Sony for conflict between them. It doesn't exist anymore. Sony now refuses to acknowledge its existence.
Peak Dunning Kruger.
>Japan Studio has been nuked by Sony for conflict between them. It doesn't exist anymore. Sony now refuses to acknowledge its existence.
You missed out the best part, they were replaced by Bluepoint.
Cease your shitty psyop snoy.
>Why is Yea Forums so fucking retarded
why retarded, maybe ignorant... anyway so it's a remaster or a remake then
I'd be fine with them remaking BB if they release it on PC since you can just mod in the original assets and none of Bluepoint's shittery.
I still find it ridiculous that they just transformed Boletaria into some ancient, overgrown ruins. When it was in fact still lived-in, in-use, and just a bit battle damaged. From battles, and not from wear and tear to the elements over the ages.
And they just got away with it too without ever even acknowledging the change. Like they could at least have owned up to it, but no.
