It seems that almost since the day FromSoftware\u2019s Bloodborne <\/em><\/strong>launched in 2015, fans of the Gothic action RPG have been clamoring for a follow-up game. But with the developer undoubtedly hard at work on the dark fantasy title Elden Ring<\/em><\/a> for the past few years, a Bloodborne <\/em>sequel, if there ever is one, will likely not be in gamers\u2019 eager hands for years to come.<\/p>\n

To satiate the need for more Bloodborne<\/em><\/a> content, some gamers have used their skills to create it themselves. One such fan, going by the Twitter handle Lilymeister, has been \u201cdemaking\u201d a version of the game for the original PlayStation and sharing clips of her progress on social media. In her posts, game developer Lilith Walther details the steps necessary to transform a high-res game into a low-poly deconstruction that will run on technology that\u2019s 20 years old.<\/p>\n

Dubbed Bloodborne PSX, <\/em>Walther\u2019s version of the game is being developed using Unreal Engine. The Hunter, the player character in Bloodborne<\/em><\/a>, is immediately recognizable even in 32-bit graphics, dual wielding a firearm and melee weapon. The demake includes a loading screen, blood splatter effects, various levels, and Walther is also working on a save and load system. And of course one of the most important elements of the game has already been completed\u2014the death animation.<\/p>\n

Describing Bloodborne’s\u00a0<\/em>visceral attacks<\/a> as one of the most difficult mechanics to recreate thus far, Walther shares the process of animating and implementing them. Visceral attacks deal a set amount of damage and heal the character to their maximum Rally potential, with a large R1 button prompt appearing onscreen to alert the player when one is available. While in previous builds, viscerals were guaranteed to result in death, they are now survivable and can also occur by performing a charge attack on enemies from behind.<\/p>\n
