Mounted a mad dash through the DLC so I could nab my beloved Beasthunter Saif, and now it really feels like I'm back! Still one of the most stylish weapons From has ever made, even if there aren't that many situations that call for its fancy movement tech.

Afterwards, I was descending through the Forbidden Woods in anxious anticipation of the Shadows of Yharnam. Those devious snakes took me well over 30 tries to beat my first time around, but today they went down in one attempt! Playing these games without using the lock-on camera is such a huge buff that it almost feels unfair.

Picked the Saw Cleaver instead of the Hunter Axe for my initial weapon this time around, and I'd kinda forgotten how bonkers strong this thing is. It's got the speed and low stamina consumption of a Dark Souls longsword, the range and damage of a greatsword, and even better stagger potential than either. Plus its serration effect does 20% extra …

Picked the Saw Cleaver instead of the Hunter Axe for my initial weapon this time around, and I'd kinda forgotten how bonkers strong this thing is. It's got the speed and low stamina consumption of a Dark Souls longsword, the range and damage of a greatsword, and even better stagger potential than either. Plus its serration effect does 20% extra damage to like half the bosses in the game!

A shame it's a bit dull to use, since it's so straightforwardly the correct choice for every situation.

Returning to Bloodborne for the first time since it came out! It's pretty absurd how much smoother everything feels with proper frame pacing and a consistent 60fps, I sailed straight past the Cleric Beast without a single hint of the motion sickness that usually plagues my nights in Yharnam.

Officially announced at CinemaCon.

https://variety.com/2026/film/news/bloodborne-video-game-r-rated-animated-movie-adaptation-sony-cinemacon-1236720936/

R-rated animated Bloodborne movie with Jacksepticeye involved? What the hell? Sure. I'm down. Especially since it's gonna be animated. Bloodborne is Seán's favorite game of all time. Surely, this means that there's something that will make people officially play at 60 FPS later down the line, right? RIGHT?

I 100% don't think this warranted BluePoint's closure, but I'm glad FromSoft turned a BluePoint remake of Bloodborne down. I think Sony should have found them other things to develop instead of shuttering them While I remain less than a fan of their remake work, I think they were clearly talented and I would have loved to see them do something original, which per Schreier's article, they wanted to do. unfortunately it seems Sony only wanted them working on existing franchises, and even then, not ones well suited to BluePoint's talents and experience.

Sony’s Bluepoint Pitched ‘Bloodborne’ Remake Before Closure (Gift Link)

There was one idea that seemed perfect: Bloodborne, a gothic action game released in 2015 for the PlayStation 4. Developed by FromSoftware, Bloodborne is widely considered to be one of the greatest games ever made, but its original release suffered from frame-rate drops and other technical issues, making it the natural fit for the Bluepoint treatment. Fans had been dreaming of a Bloodborne remake for years, and the idea had been strongly considered and at one point was even expected within Bluepoint but never entered production.

In early 2025, when Bluepoint again pitched the idea of Bloodborne remake, the studio was told that the numbers made sense but FromSoftware didn’t want it to happen, according to people familiar with the process.

Former PlayStation executive Shuhei Yoshida shared a theory last year that this might be the case, saying in an interview with Kinda Funny Games that he thought FromSoftware president Hidetaka Miyazaki was interested in remaking the classic game but too busy to do it himself and “doesn’t want anyone else to touch it.” He added that he thought PlayStation would respect Miyazaki’s wishes despite owning the franchise.

3rd Playthrough of Bloodborne complete. This time with Ludwig's Holy Blade. Fun run. I streamed a lot of it a friend of mine who'd never played Bloodborne so I hope he enjoyed that. Hardest bosses this run were Martyr Logarius, Ebrietas, and Orphan. This was the hardest Orphan fight for me in all of my playthroughs so far, but I think overall Logarius took the most tries for me. Plan on jumping into New Game + again here soon to do a run with the Holy Moonlight Sword. Game is still peak, have tons of future runs with different weapons planned. This run kind of made me realize that overall, Bloodborne has an ok Boss Pool. Very hit or miss on a lot of the bosses. Anyways, keep fearing the old blood!

I just so happen to be subbed to PSN on Bloodborne's 10th anniversary so I figured I'd hop on for some co op to celebrate!

Yeah, I don't think this is for me. Having a core combat element gated behind consumables is... just no. I'm at a boss out of healing and bullets and blood echoes. The solution now would be to stop with what I'm finding interesting and engaging (the boss) and go do tedious and boring shit (farming items). It's a shit system.

Ok, I'm at the first boss and what I feared would happen, indeed happened. I'm out of bullets so I can't parry. What now? Fuck me, I guess

Also, I lost all my experience becase the game doesn't leave your blood-whatever outside of the boss arena.

Second impression: woah, this level design is nuts. After going through corridor after corridor in Evil West, this is giving me whiplash. Each door opens up to two new doors.

I hope modders add in a mod to replace the spiders in this game. 🫠 I noped out once I saw them and went on to do other stuff like the Upper Cathedral Ward. They still get me 5 years later. (Rom gets a pass, though)

Edit: There is one already.
