![]() ![]() There's no denying there's a not-so-subtle resurgence of games from and themed after the nineties recently, with titles like Ion Fury and Doom 64 making waves in the "boomer shooter" FPS genre. I won't spoil it, but this takes place in a brand new area created specifically for the game, and it's a ton of fun. The third and final boss is unique to Bloodborne PSX and based on a character from the original game. Yharnam has been altered in unique and interesting ways, including its sewer area taking on a new form as a sprawling maze filled with giant rats and poisonous variants. Complete with its own theme music, the fight feels familiar and challenging. You can fight the Cleric Beast, an optional boss returning from the original game. The dedication to replicating enemy types and AI is staggering, proving to be as challenging as you might expect, albeit with a handful of forgivable bugs.īloodborne PSX feels like it definitely could have existed in the mid-nineties.īloodborne PSX also offers some surprises. When the primary werewolf boss also appears in Bloodborne PSX, my memories flooded back when he let out his bit-crushed howl. Funnily enough, sanity proved a strong theme in the game, and facing the first mandatory boss, Father Gascoigne, made sure mine was stretched thin. Last year, I threw in the towel and decided that the original Bloodborne would be my first foray into the world of soulslike games. Pixel-starved beastįor years, I resisted the urge to play Dark Souls, primarily for my own sanity since I'd heard how brutally difficult it could be. The music brought it all back, even with its interesting twist on composition with period-authentic synthesizers. I worried I wouldn't remember the music, but hearing the menu theme in Bloodborne PSX and soundtrack to the Hunter's Dream, the worry proved needless. All cutscenes run in real-time, so whatever garish character you create will always be visible during the story.īacking the nostalgic visuals are arrangements of the original musical score, composed by Evelyn Lark using a Roland SC-88 Pro for an authentic PS1 sound. Change the appearance of your hunter and adjust hair color by mixing hues, and your creation appears on the title screen when you load your save. Not content with doing the bare minimum, the create-a-character sliders are also included. Doing this does cause a strange juxtaposition of super-smooth textures and chunky pixels, so it's better to leave some options switched on to maintain the retro theme. You're free to disable it all, of course, and run the game at maximum size with all effects off. ![]() Coupled with affine texture warping and a recreation of the original PlayStation's jittery vertices, the effect is extremely convincing. By default, the game runs at 20FPS and renders the screen at one-third resolution. ![]() The many faux CRT effects are adjustable, with millions of possible combinations. The effect is convincing compared to the original PS1 hardware. Jerome2b39 has a video of fPPS4 and Temmie’s launcher 1.2.Source: Windows Central (Image credit: Source: Windows Central) This release contains so many updates the developer has decided to not include a changelog, but instead points to the list of commits. In parallel, fpPS4 can also be enhanced with a GUI such as Temmie’s fpPS4 launcher, which has been seeing a new release (1.2.3) very recently. You’ll need a decent GPU/CPU to get playable framerates, though. Playable games include Sonic Mania, Super Meat Boy, Undertale, 10 Second Ninja X, Uncanny Valley, Asdivine hearts, and Shutshimi. The compatibility list now shows 92 games as “playable” (64 commercial games, 28 homebrew games) and 130 more that go “ingame” (which at this point means they most likely have game-breaking issues). PS4 Emulator – What is fpPS4įpPS4 is a PS4 emulator for Windows 圆4, more specifically a “PS4 compatibility layer (emulator) on Free Pascal”. According to the developer, this project is made for fun and just in its beginning stage.įpPS4 already runs some commercial games. FpPS4 now officially reports 92 PS4 games as playable, up from 81 last time I tested it. To be clear, the game itself doesn’t play yet. Today it was reported that a (yet to be released) recent build of fpPS4 now can play Bloodborne’s sounds (video below). But just because I don’t talk about it doesn’t mean it isn’t getting regular update! Developer Red-Prig keeps releasing updates to his PS4 emulator fpPS4 on a regular basis. It’s been a while since we last talked about fpPS4, one of the most promising PS4 emulators out there. ![]()
