It's amazing, wonder if it would run on PS1

I would burn this to CD and try it out tonight but the download suggests it is a Windows game... The visuals do look fairly PSX legit, so I could see it being possible if they were to actually try to port it.

 

[Con_Z_ǝdʇ]

Now release this one next!

I don't think that anyone would now program without Z-buffer and and so on... and all the nice new features, which made this from few year project to few months, when you 90% surfing stackoverflow

 

[Elder Legend]

A demake came out before a remake. Cool.

 

[Raven117]

We already played this game...surprisingly enough.

The textures are warping in the video trailer though, so they are at the very least still emulating that effect. It almost makes me wonder if they are using a standalone emulator and actually running PSX code - but if they were I'm sure they would release the ISO.

Around 5 to 15 framerate like MediEvil

 

[rofif]

This is actally really impressive. Feelsl like a ps1 game to the heart with right preset

 

[GymWolf]

This thing looks exactly like nightmare creatures saga.

Also same amount of aliasing of the ps4 version.

The warping is easy to emulate, tho. Math.abs(your nice float value) and you have that shit back.

 

[Calverz]

I want to try this in duckstation lol

 

[rofif]

sadly, I don't get any sound

 

[Knightime_X]

You can change a TON of graphical settings after starting a new game.
From like 20fps to 240fps

This is found under DATA > SYSTEM

 

[Ulysses 31]

Souls speedrunner streaming it now!

 

[lem0n]

Wtf this is so cool! I didn't realize how nostalgic I am for PSX graphics

 

[TheMan]

very reminiscent of Nightmare Creatures

 

[SF Kosmo]

That's just Nightmare Creatures, you can't fool me.

 

[Skifi28]

Well, people did ask for bloodbourne on PC............

Pretty sure this is made in Unreal Engine.

It's a Windows executable.. I't won't work on PSX.

 

[TechnoZen]

Wow nice

Last time I checked, Unreal Engine 4 didn't run very well on Playstation.

Obviously, but if it could be made, to look and play like this... Sorry if I didn't express my thoughts properly.

 

[Bartski]

anyone tried it? I'd love to play some more but the controls are a mess. I understand it's a pre-stick era demake but d-pad for movement and L2/R2 to slowly rotate the camera? Pain and suffering.
Also I picked up the key after the first werewolf but I still can't unlock the door, what am I doing wrong there?

I'd say it's beyond the Playstation capabilities in many areas, especially the rendering distance.

It's like Shovel Knight, original version. I looks like a NES game, but it would not run on NES.

 

[LordOfChaos]

Cool. Really keeps the vibe, and (appearing like) it's running on more limited hardware even makes it more mysterious

 

[Fuz]

Enjoy

 

[Orpheum]

Mark my words. Sony will include this in the PS5 remaster of Bloodborne.


I will keep giving awful takes until Sony does something.

 

[Manwithoutfear]

it's actually really really fun. if you use steam go to "games>add non steam game>browse to directory" when you launch game DS4 will work in the game.

Note: This video features Bloodborne PSX's new areas, the brand new boss, secrets, hunter fights and the secret hidden dev room. The dev room contains, bosses, a powerful mask that maxes out all your stats and the "Dev Key" which can open any door in the game (even ones with nothing behind them).

I played it a little bit and it's really cool not gonna lie.

1 big thing that kinda bothers me tho, for a game that tried to mimic a PS1 game... the button to cancel/go back in a menu is Circle... that is not really accurate as basically no PS1 game did that.

it was almost always either Japanese games that straight up used the japanese bindings with Circle being Yes and X being No.
or it was the western style at the time which was X for Yes and Triangle for No.

I don't know of a single PS1 game where Circle is No/Cancel/Back, or at the very least where it is the only button that does that. I think there are a few there X is Yes and every other face button is No, but not sure if that was on PS1 or PS2 where I encountered that as I can't remember which game that was...

it's actually really really fun. if you use steam go to "games>add non steam game>browse to directory" when you launch game DS4 will work in the game.

everyone who uses a DualShock 4 or Dualsense should have DS4Windows installed to mimic X-Input and only turn it off if you use Steam's controler configuration

you have to equip the key. this game goes full on retro with that stuff, also I don't have an issue with the camera tbh. the game seems to be way slowed down to accommodate for the controls

 

[IbizaPocholo]

The Bloodborne PSX Demake on PC is one of the most ambitious fan-made game projects ever! But what if we "remastered" the game with ray tracing and widescreen 4K mods? It's an entirely different experience! By using Pascal Glicher's global illumination path tracing filters, we can make the game look like it's been an actual remake (or redemake?)!

 

[BusierDonkey]

Sony should give these guys a pile of money and release this officially.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

Hang out with the Bloodborne PSX developers as they watch their game get slaughtered in record time!

Thanks to Lilith Walther (@b0tster, Lead Developer), Corwyn Prichard (@art_mino, Additional Art), Evelyn Lark (@TheNobleDemon, Music), and Wes Wiggins (@funnywes, Additional VO) for joining us for this Developers React To Bloodborne PSX speedrun!

Looks like Nightmare Creatures.
