The shadPS4 PlayStation 4 emulator continues to improve at a steady pace, enhancing Bloodborne's emulation considerably. As shown in a new video shared on X by @Khalid2c7u, on the late version of the emulator, the PlayStation 4 exclusive's load times have been reduced to a few seconds on an SSD, which is a massive improvement over the long load times on native hardware. ياجماااااعة 🤯🤯🤯 المحاكي مستغل الـSSD كامل !! سرعة ذاكرتي 7GB/s واللعبة بعد اخر تحديث اللودنق سكرين صاير ثانية ثانيتين !! اللعبة اذكرها ع الكونسل تاخذ دقيقة تحميل وتنقل بين العوالم ملاحظة: نسيت اشغل HDR بتطبيق انفيديا للتصوير […]

Work on the Bloodborne fan-made remaster is continuing, and judging from some recent videos, it is looking better than ever. Last week, fromsoftserve shared a few videos showcasing improved anti-aliasing and distant models. The modder also shared a 4 hours long video showcasing some late-game locations, which we advise you not to watch if you have never played the game and don't want to be spoiled. Needless to say, the video does an excellent job showcasing how much emulation has been improving in the past few weeks. While it is definitely too early to say if there won't be any emulation […]

A Bloodborne fan-made remaster is currently in the works, and the modder behind the project showcased its current state in a new video. Modder fromsoftserve already released a few mods that brought noticeable visual improvements to the game but has recently decided to merge some of their modding efforts into a bigger project that promises to bring even more visual improvements to the game, such as better dynamic shadows, a sky rework to make it better match the environment, improved textures and more. Needless to say, even in its current state, the project looks extremely promising. Fromsoftserve isn't the only […]

Almost ten years after its original release, Bloodborne is finally getting some impressive visual improvements thanks to the ShadPS4 emulator and the hard work of modders. Well-known Souls series modder fromsoftserve, shared a video earlier this week showcasing the game with full dynamic shadows, which improve the visuals quite a bit. Obviously, their inclusion impacts performance greatly in certain scenarios, but as emulation improves, so should performance with similar mods aiming to enhance visuals. The modder also shared an additional Bloodborne gameplay video showcasing how the game runs on the ShadPS4 emulator currently and how far it is possible to […]
Bloodborne emulation on PC via the shadPS4 emulator continues to improve at a steady pace, now displaying shadows correctly, among other things. As reported by BrutalSam in two recent videos and well-known modder Fromsoftwserve, the latest improvements made to shadPS4 now allow the emulator to display shadows and blood effects properly. In addition, the game now runs almost accurately at 1080p, 30 frames per second, with proper SSAO, motion blur, and distant fogginess. Particle effects are also displayed, but they currently have a major impact on performance. https://t.co/mE6GRrRHYY — fromsoftserve (@fromsoftserve) September 4, 2024 As if all this weren't enough, […]
The first version of the Bloodborne Upgraded Texture pack is now available for download, improving the game's visuals in a specific location. The pack, which was created by well-known Souls series modder Fromsoftwserve, introduces 2x upscaled textures for the Hunter's Dream, the game's main hub. Due to emulation still being far from perfect, these textures are likely to impact performance, but their release is still welcome, as they are the first step in the creation of a fan-made remaster with improved visuals and possibly performance. You can download the texture pack from Nexus Mods. While modders are working to improve […]
