Key takeaways
- After the news that Horizon Zero Dawn was getting a remaster, the Bloodborne community went into meltdown.
- Many are confused that a modern game with a PS5 update would require a PS5 remaster, while others are still speculating as to why Sony is keeping radio silent about FromSoftware and Japan Studio's iconic collaboration.
Last night, Sony confirmed that Horizon Zero Dawn is getting a remaster after seven years, and Bloodborne fans are indeed, really Not taking it well.
The top post on the subreddit right now is a simple announcement that the HZD remaster is “real,” along with a picture of a Hunter-fied Gru watching over his army of Minions. “Part of me thinks this is a joke, there's no way,” reads one comment. “I hope sales are extremely low,” says another. “We are born of Copium, made of Copium, undone by Copium,” writes a third fan.
The second highest-upvoted post isn't handling the news too well: “F**k you Sony. That's all”. Comments are “frustrating” that Sony has left the series dormant for so long, again speculating about lost source code and the closure of the Japan studio hampering any plans, while others take their view even further, believing that maybe, just maybe, they Waiting for PS6. Maybe it's time to move on, eh?
There are a few reasons why the Bloodborne community is upset about Sony's radio silence: A large portion of the fanbase wants to see a sequel or remaster, taking us back to Yornum after nearly ten years. Others just want a PS5 patch, while some are waiting for a full blown remake.
I don't think it's bloodborne requirements A remaster – like Horizon, it's still a relatively modern game that doesn't show its age much – but a big reason why many fans want to see it given a new lick of paint is because it means there will be a PC port. Horizon already has one, as well as a 60fps patch for PS5, which makes the new remaster even more confusing. Bloodborne, on the other hand, hasn't been updated since the old hunter DLC.
And so Kapiyam continues. But if you're really itching to try it out on PC, fans are making strides in emulation, so a fully playable version of the game on desktop with mod support and 60fps is no longer a hunter's dream. It's just not officially approved by Gehrman.
