It remains possible to remove Bloodborne&#8217;s original 30fps cap via the ShadPS4 emulator on PC, but the decision remains a heavy-handed attempt at intimidating the modding and emulation community.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;On February 21st, 2021, I created and released a patch for Bloodborne which makes the game run at 60fps,&#8221; McDonald wrote on <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/manfightdragon.bsky.social\/post\/3lh2cipa4rk2v\" target=\"_blank\">Bluesky<\/a>. &#8220;Today I received a DMCA takedown notification on behalf of Sony Interactive Entertainment asking that I remove links to the patch I posted on the internet, so now I&#8217;ve done so.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-video\" data-nosnippet >\n<div class=\"video-aspect-box\"><iframe data-lazy-priority=\"low\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6hDIvDPRcPA\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The patch in question removes Bloodborne&#8217;s 30fps cap on original hardware. As discussed in a May 2020 <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6hDIvDPRcPA&#038;ab_channel=DigitalFoundry\" target=\"_blank\">Digital Foundry interview with McDonald<\/a>, this doesn&#8217;t produce particularly desirable results on the base PS4, but the PS4 Pro is capable of running Bloodborne at 720p 60fps using its &#8220;Boost Mode.&#8221; McDonald characterized his work as a proof of concept whose general release he was holding back in anticipation of an official PS5 update to Bloodborne from Sony. Such an update still hasn&#8217;t materialized five years later, and McDonald made his own workaround available for download in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>The legal basis for the mod&#8217;s removal strikes me as highly questionable: The consumer right to modify software for noncommercial use has a strong precedent. But, as is the case with many DMCA&#8217;d mod projects, the asymmetry between a global corporation and an individual hobbyist makes fending off these attacks unrealistic. This tactic of intimidation is something Nintendo has long used to a chilling effect, and I find it ominous to see Sony ape that behavior here. But the move is also as baffling as it is risible: Not only has this mod just been out in the wild for four years, it&#8217;s still much more a proof of concept than anything else. I simply can&#8217;t believe there&#8217;s a significant number of people out there jailbreaking their PS4 Pros to play Bloodborne at 720p 60fps.<\/p>\n<p>PS4 emulation is a far more promising avenue for a generally accessible homebrew remaster of Bloodborne. Last September, we reported on the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/action\/i-cant-believe-how-far-bloodborne-emulation-has-come-in-just-the-last-2-months\/\" target=\"_blank\">amazing leaps<\/a> being made with the ShadPS4 emulator to run Bloodborne on PC. Last month, <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/-zjzBbdl7hk?si=VBJT09ruKGnax2j2\" target=\"_blank\">Digital Foundry<\/a> showcased how the game is already playable from start to finish on ShadPS4 at 1080p 60fps with a mid-range processor and high-end graphics card. Did Sony legal confuse ShadPS4 and McDonald&#8217;s work? Or was this just a lashing out at a potentially more edge case target, given that McDonald&#8217;s hack requires a jailbroken PS4 system?<\/p>\n<p>A potential silver lining is that this could be Sony finally returning its attention to Bloodborne after so many years, but even that gives me little comfort. A PS5 patch and\u2060\u2014do I even dare say it\u2014a PC release of the game would be a sales and goodwill coup, particularly after the Elden Ring phenomenon. Why kick a largely harmless, niche project to the curb on your way to the celebration and in full view of the crowd?<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, I&#8217;m a glass half full guy usually, but I remain a radical Bloodborne pessimist. I think it will make its way to modern systems, but as a Demon&#8217;s Souls-style &#8220;remaster&#8221; that butchers the original art style, <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/i-dont-care-if-a-videogame-remake-is-good-or-bad-as-long-as-i-can-still-get-the-original\/\" target=\"_blank\">the game I actually want to revisit<\/a> locked eternally to its console of origin were it not for the efforts of emulator developers.
