Bloodborne‘s PC version is the most desired game in the world ā right above Bloodborne simply running at 60 FPS on PlayStation. Not a week goes by on the Internet without us hearing about new rumors that Bloodborne is totally coming to finally grace PC gamers with its gory awesomeness. Sadly, it’s not a reality yet, but rogue gaming science is getting us closer.
Not too long ago, hacker DwE revealed he’d been able to get Bloodborne to run on PC via the shadPS4 emulator, but he only had audio output. That might seem bad, but it was a sign that something could get out of it. Over a month later, we learned that DwE is finally getting to play Bloodborne, though the visuals are a bit different than what you’d expect:
The tweet above is in Portuguese, but the gist of it is easy to understand. DwE is using Linux and altered the gameās look to prevent the emulator from crashing. Thatās why it looks less like the PC version of Bloodborne and more like it came out of Nintendo’s Virtual Boy.
I really like the black and red color palette. It really drives home the notion that this version is likely cursed and that you probably shouldn’t play it, but I’m aware that it might not make for the most eye-pleasing experience if you plan to play the game for longer than 10 minutes at a time.
An even newer video shows the game running without the color correction, but the sound and even a lot of the video are way too messed up for it to be enjoyable.
But if thought that a haunted version of Bloodborne on PC would be the only news we’d get about this project for a while, then I have good news. ShadPS4’s Twitter account has just revealed a screenshot of the retail version of the game running on PC with the correct colors.
What does that mean? I don’t know, but I sure am eagerly waiting for whatever comes next.
