Bloodborne PS Pro patch isn't happening, is it?
- Thread starter SeeNoWeevil
- Start date
FROM software release their games ~6-8 months after the announcement, so I wouldn't worry if they haven't announced it yet.
That post is funny because their next gen engine is the Dark Souls 2 engine. Which is re-used on bloodborne and dark souls 3.
Yeah, the press releases looked very clean...

I don't know what's worse. That we won't get access to downsampling on 1080p TVs or that we are forced to endure the awful CA that FROM did not use in their promotional material.

I don't want a sequel if Miyazaki is not at helm.

It's a concern on consoles simply because Sony thinks it is.
They'll think otherwise if buyers voice their opinion about it being a non-issue (or, at least, mine).

No its not, they use a completely different engine for bloodborne, that's one of the reasons why studio japan is even involved.
Everyone agrees that Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne share an engine. I can't find any source mentioning a brand new engine solely for Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3.
This well known user also seems to think they share engines

They abandoned DS2's engine most likely, it's pretty clear when you play it, BB and DS3 either use a brand new engine, or a heavily modified one. There's no way they use the same engine.
I find it hard to believe that they worked on numerous games in such a short time period while also developing an entirely new engine.
Dark Souls 2
Bloodborne
Dark Souls 2 PS4 and XBO port
Dark Souls 3
all within two years and overlapping development. Seems to be heavily modified.
But every engine is heavily modified, even proprietary engines are sometimes heavily modified UE4. There's no point in saying they use the same engine if the only things kept are backend stuff that is mostly irrelevant to me and you.

Which post is funny?
"We always had in mind the next generation, "such as DirectX11"
DX11 is essentially a single threaded API and LibGNMX aka Sony's DX11 is basically the same API (it was made for easy ports).
Easy does not mean optimized/efficient tho...

Resolution could be bumped.
And should be, cause the game has bad IQ.

Yeah I doubt it.
And it's really a shame that the best exclusive on the system won't be getting the Pro treatment when most other high profile exclusives have.
Even freaking Knack is getting a pro mode...KNACK!!
Performance wise Yeah. Plus they might want to keep the multiplayer aspect balanced so the best one could hope for is locked 30fps (which will still feel kinda bad with the frame pacing issues).
But in terms of IQ they could surely do something.

No BB Pro patch. No Demon's Souls remaster. Why do you hate me, Sony?
Exactly how I feel. ;_;

FROM isn't exactly savvy on the tech front. They struggle even with the simplest tech implementations. I can't see them diverting resources to this, unfortunately.
I've really refrained from begging for all these years, but OK, I give in. They really should do this shit.

Even if the framerate couldn't be improved very much, greater resolution/AA/etc would go a long way towards improving image quality.
It's crazy that some PS4 launch titles are getting Pro patches and one of the system's biggest exclusives isn't.

If I were a betting man, I'd say they drop the bomb at PSX. Unless there's some tech reason why it can't be updated for Pro, it will be, IMO.

Ditto, seeing as I already bought a regular PS4 just for Bloodborne.
Though this is purely hypothetical; I don't know why people are holding out hope because Sony have specifically said games with online mtiplayer won't get a patch in order to ensure people with 60fps don't have an advantage over 30fps. Even though PC gaming has that happen all the time due to different specs, and it's no big deal.

It's frustrating Sony can't get them to do it. Even just allowing it to run in Pro mode for better performance would be great. Considering we never got a frame pacing fix (the problem even persisted into DS3) it seems like this feedback is just not getting through to FROM at all. I wish I knew how to change that.
It's the perfect time to drop that news.

From Software are just shit technically. Artistically amazing, technically terrible.
Never was a chance of a Pro patch because they probably don't care.

Yeah the little chance I gave to this getting a patch is now dead. Time to move from hoping for bloodborne pro patch to bloodborne sequel.

From has moved on. Just pray for BB2/New IP now.

Yes, I'm disappointed too.
Man, I was waiting the entire conference for it.

Never expect technical brilliance from FROM, they are masters of doing just enough from a performance standpoint. They dont even put trophies in their DLC and they have definitely moved on from this now.
