its not 60fps on the 5?
They wrote the game for 30. And the animation system is intrinsically tied to the framerate.

So they can’t just increase the framerate to 60 or it will double the speed of the animations. They have to carefully rework the engine to make this possible.

Its capped at 30 or something.

If you watch his vids he talks about the work he did to make it happen. It took a cool min. Basically had to use DS3 Pro patch as a template IIRC, then dropped it to 720 to get 60. I assume it would have no issue running at 1080p 60 on the 5 with little optimization

I did see that vid thanks. Someone did something similar with Demons Souls mod on PC.

It had the same issue if you go to 60 fps it doubled the speed of the game. He did something to half the animations somehow and slow it to match the new framerate. It's doable.

But it's not like other games where you just change the cap in the code and you're done.

One can only hope.

Game also has bad frame pacing issues which would be nice if they ironed out.

Honestly, as much as it deserves 60 frames, if they at least address this and remove the chromatic aberration I can accept it I guess :francis: at least they're on the right path. It was on PC, but DS3 was much friendlier to high frames, and then Sekiro can be easily unlocked even higher than 60

They really need to remaster this for the ps5 like demon souls

I would agree but realistically they'd only do a remaster to appease fans, who have been asking for a sequel.

I say fukk that, make a sequel. Do a remaster to increase hype for it, instead of using it as a band-aide. Sony letting this franchise sit is one of the dumbest moves in gaming history. Makes zero sense from a financial standpoint.

They can’t force From to work on the franchise.

From is in a very different position now than when they made bloodborne. They don’t want or need exclusive deals anymore.

People talk about the game a lot, but it wasn’t that big of a seller. Definitely not big enough for sony to find/fund an entire studio to work on it. They are only shooting for big hits these days.

From has said they're doing the Sonic *impatient toe tap* and looking at Sony. The ball was in their court to give the green light.


And I mean they could've got the ball rolling on this at any point in the last 8-9 years. It'll probably never happen now for the reasons you said but they've had damn near a decade prior to now and put in zero effort to make it happen.
