fitgirl released a repack recently that has a working version of bloodborne for pc, no emulation. that version is somehow fucked for online play (some report a memory leak too). however if you use a different launcher with the game files from the fitgirl repack you get all the goodies of online play and upscaling and DLSS and alllll that good shit.

if you've wanted to play one of the best souls games ever but you were like me and hated the 30fps or what-have-you now is a perfect time to try it.

when our fundamental values and sense of morality differ this much, we probably can't have a conversation

Good, then stay quiet and mad while I pirate my games

I hearby request a c/ai so i can spend 5 seconds of my life not being barraged with ai bullshit

[–] Abracadaniel@hexbear.net 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Bloodborne is playable on pc it's a big deal idk what to tell you.

[–] Dort_Owl@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I was already playing it with emudeck ages ago

[–] Abracadaniel@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

Ah I see, emudeck added shadps4 support 2 years ago. Yeah I've been playing on shadps4 too until this weekend. This is cool because it's significantly faster and has some added features.

you can just not look at the post

[–] Snort_Owl@hexbear.net 22 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Damn i never considered scrolling hexbear with my eyes closed! Genius!

How was i supposed to know it was an ai post exactly?

thank you dort owl very cool

[–] Dort_Owl@hexbear.net 14 points 1 day ago

It's okay I am a bit of a wet blanket, sorry.

I just feel weird about giving AI companies free PR

[–] WokePalpatine@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago

I'm also pissed off, for to the mod potential. People are going to play it at 21:9 and then use the extreme aspect ratio to corner peak the entire game or something stupid. And then say the game was boring.

Hey the game does contain tentacles. sans-wink

thank you comrade i didn't want to silence the Bloodborne fanbase (I promise you I'll play it - my friend's been begging me to and gets mad at me because I've played Demon Souls/DS1-3, Sekiro, and Elden Ring so it is the only modern FromSoftware game I really haven't played through at least once but kiryu-pain Soulslikes suck even if they're Dark Souls or Elden Ring. I'm gonna play the 30fps version though as God intended on my PS5 - finally a game to play)

[–] makotech222@hexbear.net 13 points 1 day ago

extremely risky to download vibe coded game slop; just use the official open source emulator and be done with it.

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 14 points 1 day ago

Man I would've been so excited a few years ago but now I just can't care, fuck AI.

[–] insurgentrat@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago

I foresee this being stable, well maintained, and respectful of copyleft licensing terms.

Is bbport better than this? I can't tell but bbport has a lot more information on its repo about how it actually works.

EDIT: it is sick though, I just switched from shadps4 to bbport since I'm just interested in bloodborne, not ps4 emulation, and the performance is better it's great!

[–] imogen_underscore@hexbear.net 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

its all based on shadps4. it's kind of annoying that they're all calling it "native" because it isn't native, it's a translation layer

[–] Abracadaniel@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago

I don't know enough to meaningfully distinguish between these unfortunately. It makes sense to me intuitively that one could get better targeted performance for 1 game than when emulating a generic PS4 "environment" though.

The BBport page says it's "native" in that the instructions run directly on the CPU without per-instruction translation, but also that the project is WINE+DVK bundled and optimized for 1 game. And that it's dependent on the shadps4 renderer.

[–] take_five_moments@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

haven't tested it but other users say fitgirl used an older version of bbport which is what is causing the issues. feel free to try it yourself with the updated version and report back here.

[–] The_Filthy_Commie@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm gonna take your word, comrade, and give it a go, if it works, I'll come and let people know. Thanks for posting the better launcher.

I tried to put that new launcher in the folder and have it recognize it, but it didn't work. Do I have to rename and overwrite the old one? But anyway, I don't plan to play online, my buddy who plays soulslikes hates this game so I'm gonna go it alone. I did try the Fit launcher and that one is working, currently walked past that werewolf at the beginning cause I'm dealing shit dmg.
