A new video shows Bloodborne running at 4K and 60 fps using the ShadPS4 emulator, an unofficial PC port, and a mod launcher. The setup, with a Ryzen 9 9950X3D and an RTX 5090, offers sharper lighting and shadows than the original. Meanwhile, Sony still hasn't announced an official remaster for the FromSoftware title. 🎮
The ShadPS4 emulator and cutting-edge hardware 🖥️
The video showcases the work of the ShadPS4 emulator combined with a mod launcher that allows graphical adjustments. The Ryzen 9 9950X3D processor and RTX 5090 manage to maintain stable 60 fps at 4K, something the original PS4 could not offer. Dynamic shadows and global illumination enhance Yharnam's atmosphere, although the emulator still has minor texture and loading time issues. It's a technical demonstration that shows the potential of current hardware to rescue titles from the previous generation.
Sony watching this from its decision-making sofa 😅
While a group of enthusiasts manages to get Bloodborne running like never before, Sony seems to be reviewing its game catalog to see which one deserves a remaster. Perhaps they're waiting for someone to lend them the emulator or for fans to get tired of asking. Meanwhile, the hunters of Yharnam keep waiting for the Japanese company to finally take the step, even if it's just to sell the same game for 70 euros.
