Nightreign kinda’ scares me, I’ll be perfectly frank.
It’s hard not to look at it as a response to Space Marine 2 and Helldivers 2’s success as online comp-stompers. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, FromSoft always put out at least thought-provoking and engrossing (if not downright brilliant) games in terms of mechanical refinement and gameplay.
But that stench of chasing trends is all over this project to my nose. Add to that Bloodborne’s doomed console-exclusive future (which is a decision I still thoroughly cannot comprehend, because it sure as hell isn’t driving console sales anymore, not even with the Remaster), and I start getting worried about the possibility that FromSoft will end up as just another name on the memorial wall of nuked game developers…
Feel like saying it’s trivial seriously undermines the amount of struggling and effort that it’s taken to get it to the point it’s at. The Duskbloods might be different, but then it’s just a whole different can of worms dealing with Nintendo’s lawyers.
I never disparaged the talented programmers and support folks that have figured it all out. I was mostly saying because so many talented folks have collaborated together, we can easily emulate these games.

Bloodborne may be console exclusive on paper, but emulating it on PC is a trivial task.
Fair enough, but the fact that we have to circumvent official channels in order to do so says a lot about said official channels, y’know?
Oh no doubt, I hate exclusivity. The way Sony has treated the Bloodborne IP is a travesty, but par for the course for Japanese corps.

IDK, it doesn’t take much to follow a guide.

isn’t the PS3 emuation absolute dumpsterfire because of the cell architecture? or did we pass that point already?
Emulating certain games isn’t great, but running Demon’s Souls is damn near flawless.
Edit: Bloodborne was on PS4.
I’m old and out of touch
It is?
Here you go.
