Bloodborne coming to PC? MSI Displays Bloodborne For Gaming Motherboard Marketing

Or MSI employee **** up? I'd understand if it were AMD(they make the PS4 APU) because they have a relation with Sony but MSI?

I already got it on PS4 so I don't really care. It'd be great to play it a higher res and 60fps but I won't lose sleep over that. Still, interesting info.

Wow, slow news day

This was dumb when it popped up like 2+ weeks ago

Want this to happen, just for the lulz. But I think this was just a mistake.

Don't think Sony is dumb enough to give their best title like that. MSI wanted some cool fonts and that's what they've used (maybe mixed it up with Dark Souls 3 and put BB instead)

?? This came out like 2 days ago.

@Cloud_imperium It would be hilarious to see the reactions of fanboys.

image is old

Not interested.

Yoshida already put this one to bed.

Bleh, who cares? DS3 is on the way!

Sony owns the IP, it won't happen.

What a stupid mistake, lol.

I wish, but it's not gonna happen.

Too bad, too, because no matter how good Bloodborne is - and it is very good - you just can't justify buying a several hundred dollar paperweight for one game.

someday soon you can play it with an emulator ;)

Keep dreaming Hermits. You'll never get Bloodborn. Just like you didn't get Demon's Souls. And Red Dead Redemption. And MGS4. But hey, at least you have "Gone Home" lol!

Oh look 4 games over a decade. How will hermits cope? lol

Oh did you have take GTA off your list *chortle*

I would piss myself laughing if they revealed that Red Dead and MGS4 were coming to PC.

I'd love to play a remastered RDR on PC.

I've never tried the game myself so I'd probably get it.

Right now I'm playing Power Stone for the first time in a decade and I'd LOVE that on PC.

I don't really care either way, I'm not a Dark Souls fan.

Having said that it could happen as Bloodbourne is not a Sony first party game and the IP does not belong to them.

Played Bloodborne + DLC, brought it and the PS4 back to gamestop for a full refund, waiting for DS3 now.

BB is old news.

Would make sense since its a verified AAA 9.0 Editors Choice award winning game.

Wrong on both counts.

Anyway the image is old and isn't even by MSI. All they did was google "2015 videogames" and removed MGSV from the image. Original image:

@kratosyoloswag: From Software are not a Sony owned developer (so not a first party developer) which is why the Dark Souls series is a multi-plat. Sony did publish Bloodbourne but they do not own the I.P. anymore than they own the Dark souls I.P.

Actually you totally incorrect. Sony does own the Bloodborne IP. Sony also owns the Demon's Souls IP. That's why Demon's Souls never released on PC or Xbox and that's why when From Software wanted to take the Souls series multiplat they had to make a new IP Dark Souls.

Bloodborne was published, funded, and co-developed by Sony, making it 1st party. Sony owns the Bloodborne IP. Saying Bloodborne isn't 1st party is like saying Smash Bros. Ratchet and Clank, and Killer Instinct aren't 1st party.

http://ps4daily.com/2014/10/bloodborne-ip-and-trademark/

We can only dream. Unfortunately, we all have to suffer 30fps, frame pacing issues and long load times on PS4 if we want to play Bloodborne.

Having owned several MSI products in the past I can say with complete confidence that MSI just fucked up.

Fair enough they own the Bloodbourne IP, please point to where I mentioned Demon Souls?

They still don't own From Software, therefore they are not a first party developer. They are a third party developer who work with Sony on exclusive games, much the same as Epic were with MS last gen.

Naughty Dog and Guerilla Games are examples of Sony's first party devs.

A 3rd party developer can still develop a 1st party game. See: Ratchet and Clank, Smash Bros, KiIller Instinct. Even then, Sony Japan Studio still co-developed the game.

Your Epic example doesn't work since MS only bought the Gears IP in 2014, so Gears of War was a 3rd party game until 2014.

Just finished bloodborne last week on PS4, but would LOVE it to come to PC. Worst part of bloodborne was the framerate. 60fps bloodborne would be amazing....

I leave this here for you to peruse

"Bloodborne began development in 2012 under the working title of Project Beast. Bearing many similarities to the Souls series of games, Bloodborne was partially inspired by classic H.P. Lovecraft and Dracula novels, and the architectural design of certain real world locations in places such as Romania and the Czech Republic. The decision by FromSoftware and director Miyazaki to create a new intellectual property (IP) and not another Souls game was made because Miyazaki wanted to create something "different"; at the same time, Sony wanted a new IP to be made exclusively for the PlayStation 4. An expansion for the game, titled The Old Hunters, was released on November 24, 2015."

This is a pointless circle of "yes they are", "no they're not" and will go nowhere. As I originally said I don't care about Bloodbourne as I have no interest in the game what so ever, so I'm not going to spend more time on a pedantic circle argument.

I mention Demon's Souls because it is the first Souls game and a Sony IP. You made a comparison of Bloodborne to Dark Souls and the potential for Bloodborne to go multiplatform because Dark Souls was multiplatform, but the Dark Souls IP was created because Sony owns Demon's Souls which just like Bloodborne will never come to PC unless Sony decides to publish it themselves.

I'm not sure why you just linked me that. I think you're confused as to what a 1st party game actually is. Games like Bloodborne, Smash Bros, The Order, Until Dawn, Ratchet and Clank, and Scalebound are 1st party games despite being developed by 3rd party developers.

At best you can say it's 2nd party, even if that term isn't used in the industry.

Hell freezes over before Bloodborne and Demon Souls go PC

Some people would call Bloodborne a ''second'' party game(even if it doesn't make sense) because it is owned by Sony but developed by a third party studio not owned by Sony. Ratchet and Clank could technically be referred to as a third party game because Insomniac isn't owned by Sony. Hal Laboratory isn't owned by Nintendo but let's be honest, when have they released a game for a non-Nintendo system for the last time? Rare is owned by Microsoft.

Killer Instinct was developed by Double Helix. I've never seen anyone call something like Ratchet and Clank 3rd party, it's one of Sony's most well known IPs. The studio developing the game doesn't determine if a game is 1st party or 3rd party, it's all about where the money to develop the game is actually coming from. Games like Bloodborne and Smash Bros use up 1st party resources.

It's a shame it won't. Bloodborne would play so much better at 60 fps.

No. Besides Yoshida already busted it.

Not that BB will happen, but this excuse doesn't work anymore.

Helldivers and EgttR are on PC, both owned by Sony. Obviously, AAA games won't just come to PC, but since BB is from a 3rd party studio, it isn't a 100% sure thign anymore.

Though, like i said, i don't expect BB to ever happen, unless From Software wants it alot.

It still wouldn't matter, Sony owns the rights entirely to the game and co-developed it so it'll never happen.

Oh right. I had forgotten they had switched in 2013/14. Ratchet and Clank is similar to Banjo at the time which was one of the most popular N64 series. Rare at the time was also mostly owned by Nintendo and although I agree with you that both games should be referred to as 1st party, 1st party to some is internally funded, developed and published. That doesn't apply for Ratchet & Clank.

You're a bit late to the party bro, this was discovered weeks ago and it's more than unlikely not coming to PC unless Sony says so since they own Bloodborne rights.

Shit, I wish. That'd be the best. I love Bloodborne, easily one of my favorite games this gen. But the frame rate and periodic stuttering do drag the experience down a bit. A steady 60fps would make the game shine that much more.

Yeah I'm surprised Red Dead never happened, seemed like a no brainer. The mods would have been awesome too.

I don't think anybody wants MGS4 on PC though. I bought a PS3 for that game which was one of the worst gaming decisions I've made (luckily the PS3 offset that with some truly awesome exclusives). Please, keep that game contained to one platform, nobody needs to go through that mess.

@davem1992: Just like Helldivers then

Hope it does just to piss off a certain fanboy who gave me shit recently, although whether or not I'll buy it is still largely undecided until I see more of the level design. I'd far prefer Demon Souls though.

a game that Sony don't own.

They do. Check the trademark. It's even published by Sony themselves on pc

@deadline-zero0: Fine so you get a small studio game, still not AAA games though.

@skelly34: Gamestop gives full refunds?

@Juub1990: If this ever happens , great for PC users. BB is great.
