- Massively nerdy video showing central yharnan, hunters dream, cathedral ward, old yharnam, and hunters nightmare. I go in (too much) depth about how lighting works in Bloodborne. How to edit some things in Smithbox. And a small look at modifying the gparam xml files that control Bloodborne's visuals for each map. #bloodborne #bloodbornepc #bloodbornepcremaster

"I make my own Bloodborne remaster with Blackjack and Hookers" -fromsoftserve probably
my inner response to everything you explain: yeah bro thanks love you
Exactly God bless u bro
lmaooooo
I still love to see you walk through Yharnam for the 1400th time. That explains how loveable this game is & how chill your voice and videos are to listen to.
Oh cool, I installed the remaster when I set up the game and had the crashing when enemies hit me, it was in a certain spot and i was able to replicate it. So I started removing the mods I had one by one, finally figured out it was your mod. I might reinstall the mod now that the issue might be fixed, because it really does look amazing graphically! Keep up the good work.
I personally want more paralax occlusion mapping on more surfaces....... I love love LOVE that look of every surface having more depth to it. I'm not complaining in the slightest though!! The mods FANTASTIC!
I'm finally able to use the mod without crashes.
Well the "moon" of the Hunter's nightmare is probably put there by artists, so I wouldn't move it, to me it's not a problem if the actual light source is not matching
My main concern is it will somehow disrupt any handcrafted landscape that look cool with the moon in that position, instead of the "correct one"
@@eddyhg8098 Thanks for clarifying, I agree. I think the moon is where it is in Hunter's nightmare for specific reasons, it really looks nice where it is placed especially when you load into the the area you are at the exact spot to see this great view.
this is true! I'm personally fine with the shadows not aligning to the lightsource since it's a nightmare anywho, plus I don't think anyone really cares or notices that stuff. I'm gonna move it back before the next update, but at least it was a good excuse to show how that stuff all relates and how the engine handles it
@@fromsoftserve People do care and notice that stuff, even if only a handful of people. That's one of the main criticisms about the Demon's Souls ps5 remake, the fact that, without the involvement of FromSoftware, Bluepoint not only redesigned but completely changed some assets and replaced soundtracks, etc, all of which were the way they were in the original for a reason. The low resolution was a result of the limitations of the time, and that's what remasters are for, but IMO a third party should not change the actual content and visual identity of the source material if the work is meant to make that source material more accessible in the first place. I look forward to play "Bloodborne PC" because I want to experience the game crafted by From/Miyazaki without having to buy a ps4/5.
We don't know whether the misalignment of the angle of the Moon and the shadows on the ground was intentional or not. It might very well have been an accident, but so was Gwyndolin's design in DS1, for example, and no one but the creators have the right to say it's a mistake or something that needs fixing at all, since even the accidents are the end result of their vision. All that is part of the work, it influences the impact on the player/consumer, it influences how the work might be interpreted, etc. You wouldn't replace the broken statues in DS1 with broken versions of Nameless' statues in DS3 in order to be "more accurate", for example, at least not in a graphic enhancement project. You wouldn't "fix" the Bed of Chaos fight in a remaster project either. That kind of stuff should be separate mods.
I think you can just revert the moon positions and keep dynamic and baked shadows alligned :)
I think fromsoft's artistic vision is something that goes deeper than just how things immediately look in the game, like in the hunter's dream that werid light you noticed. Maybe it was intentional since, y'know, it is a dream and things tend to be weird in dreams and that light was one way to give that impression
I wouldn't give them that much credit. Bloodborne is very janky, and it's obvious that the game is held together with duct tape and prayers.
And even if it's not intentional, that is part of the work of art they released. Those "accidents" influence the way the game impacts the player and how it may be interpreted. The work itself has value beyond the artist's intent. How many theories about From games are technically wrong or aren't canon because they are not exactly what Miyazaki had in mind during development? Those are still valid regardless, and that's part of the reason Miyazaki leaves lore details open instead of spilling all the beans in interviews or on the internet, since the lore is meant to be murky, the mysteries and windows for interpretation are supposed to be there.
The same goes for artistic decisions in level design, skyboxes, lighting, soundtrack, boss mechanics, enemy designs etc, be those intentional or not.
God this is beautiful. Looking really on point.
Thanks g i live in tough times and ill things like this genuinely put me in a happy place
i’m gonna touch the darkness inside of you
Legendary Human Status Achieved
always top level my friend! using your DS2 second sin packs now & loving it :D
Mad respect.
Awesome work
You're doing what Sony is too lazy to do, thank you👍
Thank you for doing god's work!!!
Got the chance to test it, no crashes is confirmed! 🎉
But I get a lot of flickering, like the one you fixed on the rock in the video.
They are everywhere, and they are very distracting, I would love a polishing update :)
I'm not demanding it, but it kinda defeats the purpose of the mod if new issues are appearing
hell yeah

Thank you for your work, man. This is some really great stuff. I tried the previous version of your mod, and while it looks fantastic, unfortunately, I can't get 60fps on my 3090 yet. I'll definitely try it again when shadps4 becomes just a little bit more optimized on the GPU side
DAMN BOY
THE NEW INTRO LOGO
GG!
Thanks for all your work man
Let’s go dude. Tried the remaster mod at 1080p 60 and was having the crash on hit consistently. Hopefully that won’t happen now and I can go back to playing it.
LESSGOOOOOO, Cant wait to test it
update: Made pallets / wood blue.. lol XD
personally i wouldn't move the position of the moon in the hunters nightmare, the mismatch doesn't bother me but the new position seems odd
Moving the Sun in the Old Hunters might mess up some views, like when you go throught the cave right to the grand cathedral, and when you exit and the fov changes
Is dlc gonna be remastered in the future as well? Love this brother
You are the man !
all I'm waiting for now is a real vertex explosion fix
What are "reflectance maps"? Roughness? Specular?
18:18 That issue also exists in your modded version of DS3 with the dynamic shadows. Specially in areas like Itithil.
Agree with consensus that nightmare 'moon' should stay in vanilla location, but doesn't anyone have any idea what that thing actually is, lorewise?
this masterpiece needs a fucking remake with 4k60fps and also with online mode for online glyphs/chalice dungeons codes , chalice dungeons is 80% of fun/diversity of this game
So fromsoft, you installed those mods in your description and that’s your best version so far ? With those patches above .
I’m just making sure I’m not missing anything
Hey, i subscribed to your Patreon. Where do I find the updated link to download v0.87
wouldn't you feel more at ease by using some version control system like git? not sure how many files are there in index, so perhaps git won't do, but still, doing all these modifications raw, sound scary as hell
Uuuh crashes fixed I hear? I'm gonna test it this evening let's goo
yep! removing the upscaled textures made all the difference lol
Hello man, thank you for all of this work.
Do you think this mod would be playable on an I3 12100 with an rtx 2060?
Are you using a fork from the original shadps4? Every time you use one, the download is in the description, but recently it's only your mods, so I guess the OG Shadps4 is viable right now?
i read that title wrong...
Can the textures be re-detailed without too much upscaling?
what will be considered a 1.0 version, what goals are you aiming for?
Great work. Does this play nice with 60fps mod?
I understand correctly, i only need to change the folders map, obj, param, and the reshade-shaders folder can be copied to the folder with the emulator and the Reshade exe file there , right ? I also use Vertex explosion fix via JSGME loader. And I also have the Intel gfx fix v27 Moon Sand Chikage mod.
But when I installed three folders from your mod, my weapon invisible and a triangle appeared that comes from the player, sometimes it can appear . And how to fix it? What could have influenced this?
I installed the mod for the first time, immediately 0.87 version, and I use the emulator Nightly version shadps4-win64-qt-2025-02-08- 9dc3e39
Do I need to install Restore Baked Lighting? And if so, where can I get it?
Please combine it with Yharnam unfiltered mod
very shimmery, is it just an AA thing?
But you need to optimized the mods for 60fps, not everyone wants to cap this to 30fps.
Thank you for the update! I'm using diegolix branch of shadps4, can I ask you which mods I should apply over vanilla game in addition to this one?
Not to suggest this is your focus but has the exploding faces bug been properly fixed yet cuz that's what I've been waiting on before really getting into BB PC
There are separate mods that handle the vertex explosions already. They can simply be installed alongside the remaster.
I'm genuinely worried that you're gonna get a C&D before making too much progress on this and furthermore I'm worried that BB getting a C&D would spiral into them C&D your other mods out of spite (not sure if they have the legal basis for doing that, but if Sony decides to do something, no normal person has the money to challenge them in court).
can you please tell me how much FPS impact of this Mod ? With RTX 3080 and 5600x, I can now travel a stable at 60 fps
Question about the mod description on nexus: Should we install reshade before the mod and then add you preset or does you preset work out of the box? I installed reshade and chose your preset in the reshade options in-game, but it didn't seem to make a difference from the default preset. Also, do you use the 60 fps mod? The game seems to work fine on 60 except for the baby jumps (prepare to die edition had that problem too, lol)
Doesn't matter, you can install reshade either before or afetrr
If anyone gets this mod running on steamdeck please lmk
How's performance on this update? I was having problems hitting 60 fps with this one and 5900x and 4090
Distributing the games files will get your mod taken down by Sony.
Making your own textures should be fine.
Be careful.
Where can I get Bloodborne version 1.09? pls
is tehre a performance hit?
the aliasing in the game bothers me so much
Unlearn your vocal fry, I know you can do it
anyone know where I can 'find' these bb pkg files?
There is a Reddit thread with a guy who just went "here are the files in my Google drive"
@@flowerthencrranger3854 I got that but its a .rar and you can't decompress a .rar over 5 gb on a MacBook 😭
Can I play this mod at 4K/60fps now or will it crash?
You cant play 4K modded or unmodded at least not without crashing. Even i can tell that. Emulator itself is not that far.
@ikiwe9730 I'll wait as long as takes till it gets to that stage. Thank you for the reply.
@@ZiZo34344
The main issue right now are CPU bottlenecks, the GPU is fine, if my 3060Ti can run 1080p 60, I think a strong GPU like the 4070 could do 4K 60.
optimization is shit actually
what is this in response to? lol. I'm pretty sure I didn't mention optimization in the video, unless you're talking about the mod itself causing performance loss, which it of course does. Dynamic shadows do cost performance. Nothing I can do about that.
