Bloodborne may be console exclusive on paper, but emulating it on PC is a trivial task.

[-] latenightnoir 10 points 1 month ago

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?

[-] Tempus_Fugit@midwest.social 6 points 1 month ago

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes

This is a community for discussion, news, and memes pertaining to the video game sub-genre "soulslike".

Given Lemmy's size, the definition of soulslike may be treated relatively loosely. While games like the numerous FromSoft titles, the recent Star Wars Jedi games, Lies of P, Nioh and similar games should be the focus, games that incorporate soulslike elements - like Hollow Knight and Blasphemous, for example - may also be discussed here.

Basic Lemmy-quette applies. Additionally, since flairs don't exist yet, please do make sure to include a marker to denote what game your post is about in square brackets for clarity's sake. An example could be:

[BB] This enemy is so difficult!

or

[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?
