The game is known for its intricate storytelling, atmospheric world design, and brutal difficulty, which have made it a beloved classic among gamers. The game is set in the Gothic, Victorian-era inspired city of Yharnam, where the player character, the Hunter, seeks to find the source of an endemic illness that transforms people into beasts. Released in 2015, it’s exclusively available on PlayStation 4. Much appreciated.How well does Bloodborne run on PlayStation Now? Understanding Bloodborne: An Overviewīefore diving into the technicalities of playing Bloodborne on PC, it’s crucial to have a brief understanding of the game.īloodborne is an action RPG developed by FromSoftware and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. The proverbial icing on top of the cake is "smartphone connectivity" being advertised as a feature. I see no reason why other Sony headphones can't do that with a simple firmware update unless they lack the requisite hardware. Sony claims the PlayStation Earbuds will use a secret sauce connectivity standard for "low latency" audio connectivity. And no, "just plug in your WH-1000XM4/5 into your DualSense via the 3.5 mm adapter" isn't a solution. Want to use your flagship Sony headphones with your Sony console? Too bad, you'll need a shady third-party Bluetooth dongle that might or might not work. But guess what? The PlayStation 5 doesn't natively support Bluetooth audio. I wonder if the executives at PlayStation know the WF/WH-1000XM4s exist. No matter how well you design them, earbuds' batteries will die within a few hours, rendering them useless for long sessions. In my numerous years of gaming, I have yet to come across someone who prefers TWS earbuds over an over-ear solution. Once again, I can't fathom who asked for it. Now, let's take a look at the second piece of hardware that got little more than a few seconds of airtime: the PlayStation earbuds. Plus, the recent barrage of badly-optimized games doesn't help anyone, especially PC gamers. However, that is more of the exception than the norm. ![]() Both games have no business looking that good on a ten-year-old console. Naughty Dog demonstrated that with The Last of Us Part 2, as did Sucker Punch with Ghost of Tsushima. One might argue that adept developers will still churn out bangers on seemingly underpowered hardware. But hey, at least we'll get a detachable disc drive at some point. While there have been numerous rumours about it, there might not be a PlayStation 5 Pro this generation. A Pro revision is desperately needed to bring it to speed with last-gen PC hardware. In its essence, the PlayStation 5 is a glorified Zen 2 machine with a GeForce RTX 2080 slapped on top. And it's not like the situation will improve once Unreal Engine 5 begins entering the mainstream. ![]() Contrary to what Jim Ryan said about developers "just scratching the surface" with the PlayStation's power, Unreal Engine 4 games show us the limitations of current-gen consoles. A PlayStation 5 Pro is desperately neededĪ PlayStation 5 revision ( Slim/Pro) should have been announced instead of a battery-powered paperweight. Even a 1080p 60 FPS experience would be satisfactory. A company with Sony's resources should have no trouble developing one from the ground up. Relatively unknown players like Ayaneo and Onexplayer are making strides, as are established figures like Valve and Asus. The handheld market has come a long way since the PS Vita. Sony's marketing schtick around the handheld is a fully-functional DualSense controller, complete with adaptive triggers and haptic feedback, not nearly enough to justify its existence. Knowing Sony, Project Q is locked down tight and may not be useful for anything besides Remote Play or PS Now. Perhaps there is more to Project Q than just Remote Play, but what extra features can a streaming box realistically offer? Remote Play is already available on just about every platform and works well on all of them. I can't help but wonder why Sony decided to allocate time and resources for a device literally nobody asked for. As a famous YouTuber would say, they are "a literal waste of sand". The lack of a Wolverine trailer (and Bloodborne PC) aside, the two pieces of hardware were arguably the most disappointing I've seen in years. Now that the dust has settled around Sony's PlayStation Showcase let's take a critical look at some of its more questionable announcements. ![]()
