Boy people really are gonna keep doubling down on the whole "it's missing that From Software touch" without articulating anything that makes sense. Vague posting does not make you look like you know what you're talking about.
Boy I'd love to see a guy compliment some creators about how their best work comes from something "unintentional" which makes less and less sense the more they catch up with other people graphically. I guess if they don't have CA and use pretty much standard graphical stuff for Bloodborne 2 they've sold out?
Utter nonsense.
Edit-:
That fog is not some kind of unnecessary visual add on you could easily enable or disable. It's part of the actual level design. You're being obtuse as hell. You might as well argue that I think the game should be set totally in the day time so I can see things more easily even though that's clearly not the argument anyone is making.

Seriously have to consider whether people would be defending CA to the death if it was just an optional thing like in other games. Is Dying Light's "soul" also lost when the CA is removed or is BB just special?
Too little CA, it's lacking the soul of the game. Which is solely dependent upon CA apparently.
The doll is not in the UE4 recreation.
Sebastien Schulz of Crytek also made some Bloodborne inspired environmental art (in CryEngine).
Wow, this looks even more impressive. Nails the Iosefka's Clinic / Lecture Building look.
FromSoft are the Jackson Pollock of videogames.

Uh. I was WTFing at you calling the doll a "sex doll"...
Chromatic Aberration doesn't actually make things blurry. It seperates out the colour channels and in many ways accentuate artifacts like aliasing, depending on the strength of the effect.
Vague nothing, I legitimately told you why it adds to the game but you just refused to accept it. You're just being silly now.
When you make another thread about Bloodborne art make sure this time it removes the Blood too. Make sure to ruin every aspect of the game. in doing so.
You'd be surprised at some of the dialogue in the game...
That's like Gehrman's first dialogue. "...should it please you". or something.

The comparison shot in the OP looks pretty badly compressed. Here are some PNGs I took.
I'm not saying it isn't impressive in itself, being able to recreate someone else's work in another engine is technically impressive not artistic impressive tbh. The art was already created he "just" "ported" it over to UE4.
You'll find that most professionally employed artists are actually "porting" over looks from other places.

Considering who the doll is based on I think this one is pretty obvious.
I'm supremely curious about how you specifically think that this was made. Like as in, the actual process. Because this whole "not artistically impressive" thing is absolutely grating.

Resorting to straw men arguments now?
What engine does a decent job of rendering reality?
Are you?
The game's CA adds to the dream-like effect and unreality of the game, I'm sorry to tell you this. You can disagree all you want but getting mad and outraged I don't agree with you is just silly dude.

I'm actually surprised the difference is not even bigger.
The BB engine is so old-ish.
Looks great, but also testament to the art design of the game.

MP would be even worse than from's attempt.
He doesn't have the volumetric fog running with the same glow/distortion effect that makes it feel more otherworldly.
It shouldn't be too hard to engineer that in though.
Yep, the fog is very effective at enriching the atmosphere.

Something tells me the fog has infinitely more to do with the atmosphere fog than chromatic aberration.
I know you're being sarcastic but this actually does look better and closer to the themes behind the game.nah, looks to good. Wait, let me fix it
yay, next gen.
The other one looks Sanitized.
Right, but the fog looks glowy due to how the light is being cast through it as opposed to the blurring CA.

The image only looks half decent because it's half-size. It's got waaaay more CA than Bloodborne actually does and would look like shit full-sized and in motion. There are more effective ways to impart a feeling of ethereality beyond slathering CA all over your image.

One can dream about a UE4 Remastered Bloodborne at 60fps.

Uneal engine 4. Cry engine as well. Both are very good at emulating the look of other games. These shaders were made in UE4.

Boy it makes me furious Nintendo did such a bad recreating the look of WW in that remaster. Truly one of the most baffling artistic mess ups I've seen.
I suspect the issue is less that he can't use Frostbite outside of work so much as Frostbite requires ridiculous amounts of hardware to actually set up ranging from a high bandwidth Perforce server to a variety of other supporting systems and software.
Unreal Engine 4 and CryEngine on the other hand are meant to be indie usable.

Bloodborne does not have volumetric fog (and I am not even sure if the DS3/BB engine has lit particles even). Rather, just screen facing billboards.
And yeah, he could add those in if he really cared too.

Oh I know about that line. Still a stupid thing to say but w/e.
You can see Bloodborne without CA by looking at every single pre-release screenshot. They added CA in at the last minute out of nowhere.

Yep. FFS there's a marketing screenshot from the actual game on the first page which like the others doesn't feature CA.
Still looks otherworldly without the visuals looking blurry as hell.
I don't think they were trying to recreate the look rather they were testing out tech that is currently being used in Zelda U.

They often say the soul of the game gets put in at the last minute.
Wait that's not a thing anyone says at all.
Missing characters from the original?
tech??
He's a Environment Artist and this is a portfolio piece. It's not made by DICE nor is it any "tech" thing

God these images just make me want a game on the 'Series of Unfortunate Events' world that looks like this.

All I see is a new Resident Evil.

Zelda U looks infinitely closer to WW than the remaster does. If Zelda U has that same horrific problem when you get in darkness where Link suddenly looks way too solid as if he's been ported into Garry's mod I'm gonna facepalm so hard I might get a concussion.

Man I wish bloodborne had come out on PC
Yeah that's right, good notice.
