Whereas we await information of a possible next-gen remaster and PC model of Bloodborne, somebody’s been imagining a distinct form of remake of the action-adventure recreation. A developer is popping From Software program’s gothic Souls-like recreation into one thing for the unique PlayStation.
The demake comes courtesy of developer Lilith Walther, who’s been toiling away on making Bloodborne seem like a 3D horror recreation from circa 1997. She’s been sharing clips on Twitter of the undertaking to this point, varied elements of Bloodborne, and demonstrating the modifications essential to taking one thing that was leading edge just a few years in the past and making it match on tech that’s practically three many years outdated.
She isn’t the primary to deconstruct Bloodborne this manner, Yarntown from developer Max Mraz turned the open world recreation right into a top-down Zelda-like, however Walther’s work has some fascinating perspective to it. An apparent distinction is draw distance, that particular PlayStation fog is commonplace, making encounters that rather more ominous. Visceral assaults do a set quantity of harm, and also you get a giant R1 image when one’s out there.

That is one other in a protracted line of demakes that discover varied video games by means of completely different pallettes, mechanics, and genres. Along with Yarntown, we’ve had Disco Elysium on the Recreation Boy, Lethal Premonition on the Recreation Boy, and Tremendous Smash Bros on the NES.
