One of the best games of the year, Astro Bot, served as a great reminder of how much great IP PlayStation has and doesn't use, but that might be changing.
]]>Sounds like there's plenty of good reasons to be a FromSoftware fan on the horizon, as studio head Hidetaka Miyazaki has teased its future titles.
]]>Oh dear, there's a new 30th anniversary video from PlayStation, and it might just be poking fun at all your Bloodborne remaster requesters.
]]>Sony is reportedly in talks to buy Japanese media giant Kadokawa Corporation, the current majority owner of Elden Ring, Bloodborne, and Dark Souls developer FromSoftware, in an attempt to expand its portfolio of entertainment stuff.
]]>Bloodborne, a legendary game. In my eyes, the best FromSoft game. The first one I fell in love with. The one that opened my mind to the grizzly machinations of Miyazaki and co., and that still echoes in my blood today whenever I pick up the pad and enter the Lands Between or venture back to Lordran.
]]>Kai Cenat, one of the fastest rising and biggest streamers on Twitch, has given his home a massive maker to bring attention to the demand for a Bloodborne remaster.
]]>Look, it's ok to feel sad about a proper Bloodborne PC port being a thing we may well never get, even if some folks who aren't Sony keep trying to do a thing. However, if you want to take that energy and channel it into something positive once you've learned a bit about modding, the creator of a cool Bloodborne-themed Elden Ring mod is looking for some help.
]]>You can't play Bloodborne on PC just yet, but some good progress has been made on making it a reality - just not thanks to PlayStation.
]]>Bloodborne 2 is not going to happen, so why not try Graceborne, a great looking Elden Ring mod that seeks to overhaul FromSoftware's latest Soulslike.
]]>Do you spend many a long evening just yearning away for a Bloodborne PC port? Well, you're certainly not alone and the good news is that FromSoftware's Hidetaka Miyazaki isn't opposed to one existing. He even thinks it'd be a pretty cool idea. Sadly, that still doesn't mean one is definitely going to happen.
]]>The official Elden Ring Twitter account has dropped a new look at one of Shadow of the Erdtree's many terrible monsters, and the Bloodborne vibes are very strong.
]]>Sony is partnering up with Super Groupies yet again with a new range of Bloodborne apparel. This time, you can buy a pair of leather boots, gloves, and a pocket watch. It's not quite Bloodborne 2, but blowing hundreds of dollars on sombre goth clothes may tide you over until its eventual release... If it ever happens.
]]>Have you ever seen a game that really looks like it will be exactly your kind of thing, and then it gets near universal praise so you think, "yeah, I'm gonna give it a go," and then you play the game and… it just doesn't click for you? That's exactly what happened to me with Dragon's Dogma 2 recently, and for the most part it's been a point of frustration. For one, games aren't cheap these days, so it's not exactly fun to lay down the funds for one and feel unsure of it. It's also because I really want to be on its wavelength, and I haven't been exactly sure why I'm not. But then I remember this has happened before, with one of my now favourite games, and one of FromSoftware's best: Bloodborne.
]]>While everyone was fraking out and getting hype over the new Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree gameplay reveal, FromSoftware creative director Hidetaka Miyazaki was quized about the possibility of a Bloodborne remake. While he and the team is reportedly very happy with all your continued love, there's no news. Sorry.
]]>The developer of Bloodborne Kart has apparently been contacted by Sony asking to "scrub the branding off," but thankfully the project isn't dead.
]]>When I realised recently that the PS4 would be turning 10 years old today, I truly felt every single one of those years right down to my bones. I might only be 26 but, jeez, that amount of time sure does change a person. It gets you to reflect on just what those changes are; who do I still have in my life, am I happy with who I've become, and most importantly, does PlayStation finally have games?
Sorry to bring up that old bit of PS3 discourse when we're meant to be talking about the PS4, but looking back on the last generation (and all the time that's passed since it arrived), I've come to see just how much of a shift PlayStation made from the platform it was, to the platform it now is. And I don't think I like it.]]>It's safe to say that those hoping for more Bloodborne news are no more than dusty husks by now. The dreamy droplets have vanished from a well gone dry, barren after years of radio silence. Even the fake leakers have stopped trying. But what's that noise? The sound of roaring engines and chip-tune remixes? It's Bloodborne Kart, coming to the rescue.
]]>Bloodborne has taken on a sort of mythical quality in recent years. It was already one of FromSoftware's most celebrated games, but the fact it remains stuck on PS4 is what created a sentiment around it that extends beyond the game itself.
]]>Everyone knows the dire state of Bloodborne on PC, in that it does not exist. But that hasn't stopped fans from continuing to ask for it on their favourite platform at every possible opportunity. To say nothing of the endless rumours that swirl whenever a big PlayStation event is on the horizon.
]]>“So there’s this stat in Bloodborne called Insight,” I’d tell anyone that would listen. “It governs the amount of inhuman knowledge you’ve gleaned from the world as you slaughter unnatural abominations.” So far, so videogame-y; you kill something, or use an item, and numbers go up. So what? “But Insight isn’t just used to summon other players and stuff – it changes the world. It’s maddening. Frightening.” By this point, the strangers at the bar I’m in have wandered off, circling their fingers next to their temples to indicate I’m nuts to their giggling friends. And maybe they’re right – Bloodborne really got in my head.
]]>Time Magazine has named Dark Souls and Elder Ring creator Hidetaka Miyazaki as one of the most influential people of 2023.
]]>There is a massive selection of brilliant games available on PlayStation Plus, for both those with the trusty PlayStation 4 or a brand new PlayStation 5.
]]>The holidays are over, and it's time to get back to normal. Whatever normal is, really. What's normal for you may not be for someone else.
]]>The Blood-Starved Beast is lunging at me, all flayed skin and sinew glinting in the low-light of a damned cathedral. It’s poisoned me, and my health is draining fast. I’ve got three quicksilver bullets left in my pistol chamber, and I just ate dirt as I darted to the side to avoid a fatal slash. This could be it; another doomed encounter. Another bloodstain on Yharnam’s shattered cobblestones. The beast raises its claws for the kill – and, driven by pure instinct, my finger hits the DualSense trigger. That noise, the one that sounds like a knife ricocheting off stone, reverberates around the arena. A gunshot parry! A quicksilver bullet brings the beast to its knees, and I bring my sawblade down with a crunch into the writhing horror’s skull.
]]>It might not come as news to you that one player with the patience of a saint has managed to beat every Souls game, including Elden Ring, back-to-back without taking any damage.
]]>This week has been rather wild for the most passionate of fanbases. We had Silent Hill and Resident Evil showcases back-to-back, both of which showed off two very important remakes of Resident Evil 4 and Silent Hill 2. Then for some reason unknown to absolutely anyone except the person who posted it (probably), Sony tweets about Bloodborne.
]]>It’s not hard to find something to like about Thymesia, the new souls-like from OverBorder Studio. Your overall feelings on the game, however, will be dictated by how much you end up enjoying its best qualities.
]]>A group of modders have worked together to bring Bloodborne's tight gun parrying to FromSoftware's latest, Elden Ring.
]]>We all know, by now, that Sony is revamping its PlayStation Plus subscription service by adding new tiers that'll let you have more access to games (both new and old) if you pay for the most expensive level of membership. Today, it's the final push of the launch phase, as Sony completes its final rollout in Europe, the Middle East, India, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.
]]>If you’re like us, the idea of Bloodborne 2 has us dreaming of what a hypothetical sequel to the excellent gothic action RPG would look like. What dark corners of the world would we explore? What horrors would await us there? It’s enough to make a person sick. Enter a recently released Unreal Engine 5 montage - which aims to further explore the premise.
]]>If you exclude Bloodborne and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Elden Ring is unquestionably FromSoftware's fastest Souls game in the traditional sense. It's basically a faster version of Dark Souls 3, even if it may not carry the same franchise name.
]]>Despite the rumour-mongering over the years, I can promise you there will never be a Bloodborne 2. It’s just not really been Hidetaka Miyazaki’s style (yes, he did direct Dark Souls 3, but then that was Bandai Namco’s IP, and you always got the sense that he grudgingly returned so he could snuff the bonfire out for good). Besides, seven years later, the best PS4 exclusive remains perfect – and I say that despite the 2015 title looking aged, now, with a lack of 4K resolution and no 60FPS patch for PS5.
]]>The first batch of games have been confirmed for the "all-new" PlayStation Plus, with some big headliners like Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut.
]]>Some of the lead developers behind Final Fantasy 16 apparently previously worked on a Bloodborne-like, asymmetrical multiplayer game that was ultimately cancelled.
]]>It's a long holiday weekend for many, and what better way to pass the time than by playing video games?
]]>What’s that? Work? It’s January already? Excuse the bleary eyes, and the inability to get up when the alarm goes off. We’re still in Christmas mode. As we bed back in to working life bringing you all the hot video game coverage and all that, we thought we’d take a few moments to scoot around the team (except for Sherif, who is still off, the lucky sod) and let you all know what we’ve been playing over the holidays.
]]>Ever wanted to experience the world of Yharnam from a more intimate and terrifying perspective? Well, thanks to this Bloodborne first-person mod, soon you will be able to.
]]>Bloodborne's mysterious shortcut door is now usable.
]]>Bloodborne, the often forgotten first-party PS4 exclusive, has the potential to impress again.
]]>Hear me out.
]]>Unofficial mod gets From Software's iconic PS4 title running at a smoother click.
]]>Ever wanted to see what hit hardcore action-RPG Bloodborne would look like as a PlayStation title? Well, you’re in luck.
]]>“If you look at the original Dark Souls, it’s almost like an album from the band that came up with a new genre. You can take each song apart and have a sub-genre just as fun, it will find its own niche.”
]]>Xbox head Phil Spencer says that not only has he seen quite a lot of Elden Ring, he's played it.
]]>First-party PS4 title Bloodborne isn't going to run at 60 frames-per-second on the PlayStation 5.
]]>Bloodborne does not officially support framerates above 30fps, but that didn't stop the modding community from coming up with a solution.
]]>Bloodborne fans have been mining the game for years now, finding all sorts of content that was cut from the game before it launched back in 2015.
]]>The PlayStation 4 is by far the best-selling console of this generation, and there's one good reason for that: video games. When it comes to games, PS4 has led the pack this entire gen.
]]>If you're equal parts Bloodborne and Zelda fan, you'll be delighted to know that indie dev Max Mraz has mashed them up into Yarntown, a top-down, classic Zelda take on FromSoftware's Gothic blockbuster.
]]>An eagle-eyed fan recently spotted that the PS5 and PS5 Dualsense controller are completely covered in unique PlayStation symbols.
]]>Recent rumors speculate that a Bloodborne remaster developed by Bluepoint Games could be coming to PC and PS5.
]]>This article first appeared on USgamer, a partner publication of VG247. Some content, such as this article, has been migrated to VG247 for posterity after USgamer's closure - but it has not been edited or further vetted by the VG247 team.
]]>Bloodborne runs at 30fps on a base PS4, but thanks to an unofficial patch, it can be made to run at 60fps.
]]>Though it may be tempting to get excited about PS4 exclusives making the jump to PC - now that we know it's possible, this particular batch isn't.
]]>The final version of the opening of Bloodborne makes a lot more sense when you see what it was salvaged from.
]]>Nearly five years after release, Bloodborne continues to inspire fans to dig deeper into its hidden secrets.

]]>This mod for Bloodborne allows you to take control of enemies by locking onto them. And it's really cool.
]]>Bloodborne is, in this writer's very humble opinion, FromSoftware's greatest work to date. It's a cacophony of horrific monsters and somehow equally terrifying human enemies, all blended into one deranged mess that's going to push your talents to the absolute limit. In this Bloodborne boss ranking, we'll be outlining every boss in order of difficulty.
]]>The Kickstarter for the Bloodborne board game is currently sitting at just over £1.6 million, with 14 days left of the campaign.
]]>Dark Souls creator Hidetaka Miyazaki would "love to take a crack" at creating a battle royale title - someday.

]]>To me gender is a sort of puzzle where you make the pieces yourself.
]]>While there’s plenty to be said for the unknowable horrors behind both the SoulsBourne and Lovecraft canon respectively, we can all agree that those tales are bloody, mysterious and undeniably cursed. Additionally, they have also been turned into popular card games, which get this, have discounts on 'em at the same time, right now. Most unforeseen!
First up, lets take a look at the Bloodborne card game. Based on the terrifying Chalice Dungeons from the acclaimed video game, this card edition of a labyrinthine nightmare underworld sees players competing to kill monsters, and in true Bloodbourne style, taking their blood in pursuit of victory. It supports up to five players, and games take roughly an hour.
Each participant starts with basic weapons, which are upgraded along with fighting combos and skills as the game progresses. Also like the game, you can heal within the ‘Hunter’s Dream’. According to designer Eric M. Lang, there’s “lots of death”. Glorious.
