Hey, did you know Bloodborne is still a PlayStation exclusive? Of course you do – the internet will never let you forget. Recently, Sony deleted a Bloodborne-related tweet after a legion of fans piled it on in the vain hope that an announcement was in the works. Indeed, it doesn’t take much for the 2015 game to trend on popular social media sites like Twitter. Even a pointed tweet from a notorious Souls community figure like Lance Mcdonald can stir up the hornet’s nest.
But while the constant whirlwind of fan fervor can be annoying at times, it’s ultimately based on one fundamentally solid fact: Bloodborne is one of the few modern classics limited by aging hardware. Regardless of where you stand on the console/PC divide, the fact that the version of Bloodborne you can play on your shiny new PS5 is still locked to 1080p/30fps limits publisher malpractice. But I’d much rather play it at 144fps on my shiny gaming PC, and I’m far from the only fan feeling that way.
