Host discusses patch notes for Bloodborne on PC, including patching approaches and the excitement around a PC remaster and fan patches.

Maximilian Dood dives into Bloodborne on PC with fan-made remasters and mods, showing how lighting, shaders, and patches transform the game while debating the limits and future of path tracing in Souls titles.

Summary

Maximilian Dood finally boots Bloodborne on PC to check out the community-made Bloodborne PC Remaster and a suite of patches and mods. He highlights how FromSoftServe’s lighting overhaul reimagines every light in the game, making every torch, lantern, and shadow feel dramatically different from the original PS4/PS5 visuals. Along the way, he explores BB Launcher, mod managers, and Nexus patches, testing 4K resolution, 60 FPS fixes, and shader caches while debating performance quirks that crop up in the opening hours. The stream becomes a tour through the patch ecosystem: reshade presets, 60 FPS patches with delta time, 4K light grid, and the famous FromSoft/BB Enhanced overlays, plus experimental techniques to dial in frame pacing. Maximilian riffs on path tracing, comparing Bloodborne’s lighting with Resident Evil 9 and Dark Souls 2 path tracing, while acknowledging the current cost and technical hurdles. He also candidly reflects on the broader modding culture—how fans are pushing visuals and features further than official channels, sometimes at the expense of stability. Amid the tinkering, he plays through the early game, experiments with different weapons (Saw Cleaver, Beast Cutter, Ruo), and even tries the infamous ladder skip and co-op/online possibilities that are percolating in the mod scene. The stream ends with a balanced takeaway: Bloodborne on PC with these mods looks stunning and runs reasonably well on high-end rigs, but it remains a work-in-progress with shader compilation, memory management, and compatibility caveats that require patient tweaking. Maximilian’s verdict: it’s a thrilling, transformative glimpse of what a community-supported Bloodborne could be, and a tantalizing hint at what path-traced remasters might demand from developers in the future.

Key Takeaways

  • BB Remaster’s lighting overhaul reimagines Bloodborne by rebuilding every light source, enabling dynamic shadows and deeper atmosphere across 4K/non-native lighting setups.
  • Path tracing discussions reference Resident Evil 9 and Dark Souls II as benchmarks for how real-light bounce changes the mood and depth of scenes, despite current hardware costs.
  • Maximilian confirms that emulation-based patches (BB Launcher, FromSoft Serve mods, reshade presets) can push Bloodborne closer to a PC remaster, though shader compilation and memory tuning remain bottlenecks.
  • Performance tips include using VSync with an unlocked FPS or carefully tuned 60 FPS patches to balance frame pacing, input latency, and shader compilation stutter in taxing areas like Old Yarnham.
  • Hardware notes surface: a 4090 and a high-end CPU (e.g., 7800 X3D) provide the best results, while even top-tier setups still experience frame pacing quirks in shader-heavy zones.
  • The modding ecosystem is vibrant: patches for 4K light grid, 60 FPS cutscenes, urban lighting fixes, and reshade augmentations coexist with cheats and feature toggles to experiment safely.
  • Maximilian emphasizes that fan-made enhancements can rival and sometimes surpass official support, signaling a potential drift toward community-driven remasters if developers embrace the approach.

Who Is This For?

Essential viewing for Bloodborne fans curious about PC mods, 4K lighting upgrades, and the practicalities of fan-made remasters. Also valuable for developers and modders interested in the current limits and possibilities of path-traced game visuals.

Um they nerfed a bunch of stuff. They nerfed most things that are like post heat dash, right? Like it seems like they nerfed many heat dash conversions, which is like that's a pretty good that's a pretty good change. Uh, at least that's what it seemed. I just read Lars stuff. Um, and I was like, that's a that's a good change. Interesting. Very interesting. Um, anyway, almost back to basics. It's like they're trying. Somebody got the memo. Your character got nuked, but it's a good patch in a good direction. Well, who who didn't get nuked, right? Um, heat dash conversions and heat gauge costs. Yeah, Capcom changed some stuff to the Alex story. Um, they didn't change that image. You know what? But they changed one thing. They tried to change one thing, but they didn't change the image and that image is burned into my head. And until that [ __ ] changes of history. Yeah, they changed some [ __ ] or something or something. Um, either way, that's not what's important. What's important is that uh tomorrow I found out we're playing Mouse PI and I think that Pragmata also launches tomorrow. Welcome back. I'm We're playing Mouse PI and I'm really hope the game does not like grab me because uh I have a sponsor for it tomorrow at 8 and Pragmata launches tomorrow night as well. And Mouse PI is also getting really good reviews. So, we have a sponsor for that and I'm like, "Oh my god, am I going to have to find a way to play through this too?" Yesesh. And then I found out Yeah. on Friday I also have a Pragmata sponsor. So, we're going to check that out too. That popped up. Um anyway, yeah, dude. Jack Sept Dude, if it wasn't for Jack Septic Eye, I wouldn't be out here playing Bloodborne for the very first time ever. Look at us. Look at us playing Bloodborne for the first time ever, man. Man, oh man. Um there's a Street Fighter movie trailer tomorrow. Yeah, that's cool. Soros is next week. That's what I mean. We have like three several big ass games and I kind of want to check out Tekken. Um so we'll see. I'm playing Bloodborne for the very first time with my whole ass chest. Whole ass chest. Um, Ever Crisis, uh, new DLC scenes. Um, yeah, is, you know. Yeah, is. Welcome back to the uh unless something super substantial pops up in Never Crisis, I think I'm good, you know. Hold on a second. Let's put over here. Let me put this down here. YouTube guys. Hello. Hello. So, yeah, I'm actually going to try to get this up and running in a way that makes sense. I tested it and it worked. Um, but I haven't like gone into the mega configuration. Dude, dude, check this out. This BB launcher thing is amazing. Um, it's amazing. So, not only can you go into like the individual game settings, right? So, shad PS4 game specific settings. You can I'm like, "Here, take all my memory if you want it. Take all my goddamn memory." Um, full screen borderless. I'm rendering it at 4K. Uh, turn off motion controls, right? We'll see if we need any VSYNC of any kind. Um, it's pretty cool. The Hold on a second. Check this out. Check this out. Mod Manager. Here's the stuff that I have. Um, 4K UI Xbox stuff. 60 fps cutscene fixes. Start with any weapon. Start with any weapon. Vertex explosion fix. Um, and then you can also go to mod, not mod manager, uh, mod downloader. And you can see like everything that's in here. This is so sick, dude. This is so sick. Um, and these are like mods, right? There's some that are uh there's some that are like literally vertex fix means no custom face. Oh, does it disable that? Um, I'm sure there's a randomizer somewhere. I don't see one in here, but there's ways to get the randomizer working. Is this recmp? No, it is um emulation. You need the fix. Okay. Um, so that's just like these are mods. Patches are a different thing. Patches are uh where is it? Shadow PS4 settings, Bloodborne cheats and patches. So, check this out. These are all of the things you can do to modify the existing version of the game between disabling chromatic aberration, um depth of field, motion blur, performance fixes, text, all this kind of stuff. I can I can make the model quality the highest it can possibly be. Graphics heap sizes. chat, what is if I'm running the game at 4K 60, what is what are like the integral things, right? This isn't Isn't that illegal? No, emulation is completely [ __ ] legal. What the [ __ ] you talking about? This is literally my copy of Bloodborne. Um, ultra wide. No, I'm not doing ultra wide. Uh, I'm not doing ultra wide. Um, uncap FPS. 60 fps is on here. Uh, hold on a second. I don't want to uncap it because we're streaming. We We are streaming. Um, you can increase the camera distance. Rally decay. That's more like a mod. Uh, sensitive analog unlock aim region. Enemy control. I do have the 4K light grid. Um, and that increases performance by lowering the lights in the draw call of lights. So, yeah, that's good. Sunny, thank you. Um, resolution patch. We have it running at 4K. Cool. Um, I think I'm good, right? There's some cool cheats in here, too. Player speed up, infinite stamina, infinite health. Enemies don't move. Goofy [ __ ] right? Stacks and levels maxed. You just have to buy it once. Pretty cool. That's pretty cool. These mods are not turned on. What? These are enabled disabled patches. These patches are enabled. These are enabled. Uh the mod stuff I have not turned them on yet. Yeah, let's um I got a few of these in here. Activate that [ __ ] Activate that [ __ ] Mods, patches, and cheats are three different things. Activate that [ __ ] Hi Dan. Have you tried this [ __ ] yet? Welcome back. Um, I got it running in 720p and I'm now testing it in like 4K and I'm turning everything on. Dne, thank you. Or Dant Dan Dane the Insane. Aha, it's not Dante. Thank you, Dane. Appreciate the 10 gift subs. Hold on a second. Xbox game prompts. Um. Oh. Oh. 4K. Okay. Well, I I already we already have one. It's okay. You don't want to want to um anyway. Yeah. Use the better anti-aliasing mods from from soft serve. Uh mod downloader. Better anti-aliasing history. Um, these are all the things that are on here. I also got to get the one thing from from soft serve. There's like history. It's on Nexus. This is connected to Nexus. Yeah. Um, it literally is, chat. So, uh, as an example, if I do disable FXA, I click here, I click download, and it no [ __ ] connects to Nexus. like it is that disable FXA. Is that should we get that? Welcome back to Age of History. I think we should. Let's do it. Let's do it. If you can, if you can't take off, take the full vertex explosion mod, not the friendly one. Had some issues with the light one. I'll check that in a second. Uh, check that in one second. FXA just makes the game blurry. Okay. All right. Done. Um, what else we got in here? Um, Damn, you can do the draw parameters. Wow, that's crazy, dude. More options at lamps. Oh, what does it do? I can't read it. Um, what is this made for ants? great one. Beast restored. He's back. But that guy was accessible in the normal game, right? You could find this guy in the hidden chalice dungeons. He was around, dude. He was around. Jump on L3 FPS boost. I don't see unless like I'm missing something. Unless I'm missing something. More options at lamps makes a Dark Souls 3I bonfire. Let's do that. More options at lamps download. It's It's less than a meg slow. Are you talking people found cut content through the chalice dungeon code? Yeah. Yeah. There were there were bosses and unique enemies unique to some Chalice dungeons that were unfinished. It was super cool, dude. We made videos on them back in the day. I don't know what build I'm thinking about running. I just want to play it. I just want to see what this is like. Um, and I'm now really tempted to check out this Tekken 8 patch. Playing this on Shad PS4. Yes, we are. Yeah. Uh, you might need to increase the emulated DRAM to six gig g. We have it at 8 gigs right now. I have it at eight. age of history. where is the from softs serve stuff? Right. Where is that at? Is it is it on here? Does anybody has anybody use BB launcher enough to know? Oh, from software is in the chat. Hi. I don't think my mods show up in the drop down for whatever reason. Probably on my end now listening to them something on Nexus mods. Okay. So, I'll have to go see because I'm not sure how the file structure and all that kind of stuff is working. But let's let's not If I throw too much [ __ ] at the wall, it's going to crash. But I definitely want to get that. I want to get the Wait, what is visual upgrade? Bloodborne visual upgrade mod. Is this it? Dynamic shadow. Is this it? Welcome back to the stage of history. No, this is a different one. This is something different. let's hold off. Let's hold off. I'm just going to launch the game to see if it breaks or crashes. Let's find out. Ah, here we go. It's called Bloodborne Remaster. Okay, then. For some reason, it's just not on there. Wow. Intro skip worked. That actually worked. audio is low. Damn, audio is mad low. I'll have to see if there's a an audio thing. I did notice. Yeah, I ran in here on 720p and it was chugging on some of the first enemies and [ __ ] It was chugging a little bit cuz I think it's like a shader decompile. Wow. Yeah, I have my I I ripped my game of the year edition. Has all the DLC on it. Wow. Okay, hold on a second. Um, there's no audio settings. H I wonder is this 60 fps, bro? Can you not tell? It's stuttering a little bit here and there. It's a little stuttery. Wow. Xbox buttons. That's so funny. Wow. Xbox buttons, bro. This was the game's tutorial. Uh, we're playing it at 4K. Hold on a second before we get everything figured out. Try running at a weird glitch. Dude, this is insane. This is insane. Huh. Well, that's right. Running is running and jumping is that the remaster mod is even better. Well, I'm glad it's like not broken. Wait. Uh haha. Look at these little bastards. Look at that. Every single weapon to get right at the start. Look at that [ __ ] That is wonderful, man. Oh man, is that wonderful. Boommer. Uh lost boom hammer. What? Scales with different gems. Damn. so helpful. Dude, this is this is the problem is that you really can't enjoy Bloodborne um and it and its variety of weapons because you get them like almost through the entire game. Beastclaw sort of sucks because I need uh I need [ __ ] later. I need like stuff to make it work. Yeah, you have to NG+ it. You have to NG plus. Same thing with cause parasite. I need to turn into broccoli. Um we need runes for that [ __ ] For physical damage, you need a triangle slot. So, what was I looking at? Tenitress is boring. It's just boom hammer. Okay, either one of these would be good. Triangle slot were the damage boosters. Ruyo. Um, Simon's bow blade. The writer palish. Weird weird [ __ ] How's the FPS? I don't know. We're just still like running around. Moonlight great sword. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Church pick. Blades of mercy. The burial blade. Let's do the beast cutter. Yeah, [ __ ] Yeah, [ __ ] which one's best, Dan? Should I get two stars? Two stars. One triangle. Star triangle. Moon probably not great, right? Regular beast cutter seems the best. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, actually, we need to start over because I'm just like [ __ ] around right now. Ultra combo, [ __ ] Okay, welcome back. Oh my god, dude. These animations in 60. Holy [ __ ] Okay. Yeah, there's a little bit of like weird frame timing. You notice it? Right now, it's a little funky. Yeah, I'm noticing it. It's like not I wonder if this is a thing. I wonder if I need to drop it to like 1440p cuz even right now it's still it's running like a little It's not. You know what I mean? Yeah, this is the the frame timing is just going to get funky unfortunately. These top-of-the-line hardware. This is a 4090. Try the FPS boost mod. Um, I wonder. Yeah, this is running a little Someone I watched dropped it from 1440 to 1080. Is it because 4K is just like too much data streaming for the game? It's also like that on 1080. Yeah, I'm I'm assuming that this is this might not be like I don't think it is my GPU that is the problem. Run it with lossless scaling. problem with losses lossless scaling is that if you run it on uh cloned devices, it acts weird. I had the I had that problem when I tried playing Fantasy Star Online with it. 1440 made it run better for you. H it's running okay now. Like it was it was funky a second ago in the exact same area. Now it's completely fine. I don't get it. I don't get it. Weird. This zone is specifically taxing. Uh Jesus Christ. I haven't played the opening of this game in forever. Where is this old man? Yeah, it feels like it might be a shader compilation thing. Oh, I need a gun. Uhhuh. Wait, I can do any gun? I can do any gun. Hell yes. Hell yes. Oh my hell yes, bro. Um, let's try not to run the Evelyn. Let's try to play this game without running the Evelyn. Uh, the piercing rifle. Hit the cannon for jokes. I mean, not going to be parrying anything, but repeating pistol is OP. I don't think I've used that since the game came out. You got me. Got me. Bang. Bang. Um, you letting me have more. Take the old hunter bone. Bye-bye. Damn it. We just have to go back. I think I need insight, right? I think I need insight first. Jesus, it's been so long since I played the beginning of this game. What the hell? Okay, let's just see how this runs before we start turning everything else on. Let's also see if just playing the game a little bit um solves some of the problems. What resolution is this? Uh 4K. I'm I'm getting memories of uh of playing that goddamn PS1 DM make. Damn, look at all the senu and [ __ ] dude. People did this through pure spite. This [ __ ] was made with spite, dude. That's crazy. This [ __ ] is This [ __ ] exists because of spite. It's nuts. Look how good this [ __ ] looks. And it was done through spite. Like, wow. Wow. Like, not malice. No, no, no. There was no ill intent. It was spite. It was just we're we're [ __ ] sick of waiting. Like, we were saying this, dude. It's like eventually a PC version of Bloodborne isn't going to matter because people are going to just do it themselves. It's not going to [ __ ] matter, dude. People are going to get path tracing working on this [ __ ] before before they get a PC version. Like, no [ __ ] We're going to get path trace Bloodborne or some [ __ ] Look how [ __ ] cool this looks. Oh my god. And it's running real good. I mean, it's kind of a hog, right? It if you want to run it at higher resolutions, it's kind of a hog. But the fact that like so many people came together and it was like, "Oh, I got a fix for that. I got a fix for that. I got a fix for that. I got a fix for that." And the game is just like a whole bunch of duct tape, right? A whole bunch of like pieces of the game, which is how games are [ __ ] made. In the background, it's just things aren't working. And everyone's like, "I got some duct tape for that. I got some scissors for that. I got this. I got this." And all these patches and little things just fix all the little stuff in between. It's mad cool, dude. How's the frame rate? Look at it. Can you not see? All games are that way, chat. Like, you have to understand like in the in the background, bro. Welcome back. Like Banjo Kazouie on N64 had such a weird [ __ ] bug because they designed it with like uh they designed it with like the expansion pack in there that the game wouldn't work without it. So they forced people to have to get the expansion pack if you buy the game. And it didn't make the game run better. It just needed it to run period like or no that was DK64. My my bad. same same devs. It's that kind of [ __ ] where it's just like so many things are just built out of out of like we have to find a way to make this [ __ ] work. There has to be a way to make it work and it's got to be some funky like thing that makes it on release of history. It's It's just cool. Fans do the same [ __ ] dude. Look at the quality of the texture work. It is so high. This is nuts. Oh, dude. It's so cool running the beginning of this game with like a neat weapon and it controls great. Holy [ __ ] dude. Yeah, we're going to have to check out from soft serve uh upgrades cuz chat this is the base game with like minor fixes. Um, and people have gone in on the lighting. People have gone in on the visual quality of the game. Like they've gone in. This is insane. This is insane. Uh-oh. Little chunky. See, I I think most of the stuff I was talking about is it is it compiling cuz I'm going to sit here for a little bit. It's It's acting a little funky right here. Right. This area is now like running at like 45ish FPSish. I ran pimp cane in this. Um, we ran the cane at the beginning. Yeah. Now it's like running a little funky cuz it has to compile. And if I come back here, uh, it's a little funky right here. It's funny. Look at that. Like, yeah, like the the frame rate's a little all over the place right now. And I'm wondering if it's because it's compiling at the moment. I wonder if it's because like at the moment F10. Oh, it is reporting 60, but it's not. Uh, is there a more detailed frame time? It's reporting 60, but it's clearly not. I think it it's rendering the frames at 16.6 to7. It's right. Uh, interesting. The frame time. The frame rate was always funky in Bloodborne though. It is. It is. back to the stage of history. Damn. But when it's smooth, it's hella smooth. I wonder if like one playthrough is enough to to get through it. Cuz even if I go back over here where it was acting a little weird, it's not happening anymore. Not happening history, dude. It's literally compiling. Like, it's literally compiling. It's reporting the correct FPS and it's not faltering from 60. But look, nothing anymore. As soon as I bash those boxes in and introduce new assets to the game, the compiling was happening in the background. And the compiling is like dropping the frame time for some reason. I think I enabled shader cache. I'm going have to check on that. Yeah, it's literally the shader compilation in the background finished, I think. Dude, this is So, you can do randomizers, you can do everything with this [ __ ] right? You can do so much. And it's what kind of build I want. I don't know. I don't know. I'm just like seeing if this works. Do we have like no anti-aliasing in the game right now? And it's just running raw ass 4K and there's barely any shimmering. Like there's so little. You can see a little bit on like the the pipes and the bars, but like this game is shimmer hell. Imagine if this [ __ ] got like a DLSS of some kind. I wouldn't be surprised if it happens, dude. Like, no [ __ ] I honestly wouldn't be surprised if you only need to render this at like 720 or like 1080p and eventually people make it work with the LSS and [ __ ] I would not be surprised. Whatever. DLSS5. Yeah, let's [ __ ] out of the Hunter. It's going to yify. It's compiling some [ __ ] It's doing it here. Let's run to Let's run to a taxing part of the game. Like the most taxing area of the whole game, cuz it's a little It's saying 60. It's reporting 60, but there's a there's there's an operation happening in the background where it's not. What build do I enjoy the most in Bloodborne? funny enough, I really just like Are you that outsider? Saw cleaver. Well, sorry, but I don't want anything to do with you. Trot along, will you? I just like Saw Cleaver. It's just fun to rip [ __ ] up. Okay, to the middle of town. This is where the there's the most taxing. We dropped the frame. Hi folks. How's it going? Hi folks. How's it going? Hi, how's it going? Very angry at me. That's running very smooth. That's actually running extremely smooth. Holy [ __ ] ah. He's going to shoot me. Hi everybody. You are not one here. Yeah. Little bit of stuttering. It's not saying It is not saying that it's dropping frames. It's not It's not reporting it, but it clearly is not running at 60. You know, you can actually turn this off, chat. Uh the dude soup there there's a there's a fix for this. Somebody disabled it or made it not as soupy. Uh god damn. It still has frame instability, right? But the I I think it it it seems like it's a shader compilation thing. Holy [ __ ] man. I need to see this lighting mod from soft. I need to see this [ __ ] Or from soft serve. I got to I have to see this. I'm super excited. Let me shoot this [ __ ] in the face. Hold on. Come on, you piece of [ __ ] Ow. It's healing again. Okay. I have to turn on all these [ __ ] bells and whistles, man. The recent 60 fps mods fixed the frame pacing, so it's probably shader compiling. I'll have to see which 60FP mod I'm using because there's there's multiple. Here we go, chat. You ready? You ready for the uh the 2015 strats? God damn it. [ __ ] from saw. 2015 strats don't work anymore. That is [ __ ] Bunch of horseshit. Duh. I haven't played this in a couple years now. Yeah, but [ __ ] me, dude. Oh, yeah, dude. So, Dan, I've seen this. I've seen this trick. I forget where I saw it. You keep the werewolf alive. You train the werewolf all the way here. You have your You have stay with high life. And if you go all the way over to here, the werewolf will do the grab and and his grab animation will push you through the door. People found a way around it and that skips like a quarter of the game. You do it all the time. Fastfka, is that what it's called? Dude, this [ __ ] is crazy. Um, also notice the physics on my cloth look a like the the cowl look really good. I downloaded a 1.2 gigabyte patch that has completely new physics simulations across the board for all clothing. So now the physics on all like the clothing and the cowls and all that [ __ ] look way better. It's running like [ __ ] again. The thing is, dude, you get people that give a [ __ ] about a game and they'll they just want to work on it. It's running kind of funky right here, though. But it's saying 60. That [ __ ] is saying 60, huh? Waiting for it to even out. Wondering if it Hey, it evened out kind of. Yeah, there we go. Now we're back to 60. Look at that. Is this not the same game? Not. Dude, you can do so much. This is the starting outfit. Yeah, you do not start off with the cool hunter hat. No, you do not. How do I this? Is this is it this? Ow. What's happening here? I need two shots to shoot this [ __ ] God damn, this guy's pissed. Holy [ __ ] Yeah, a little chunky. Little chunky. Little chunky. We're going to go back and check out the FPS spots to see if there's a better one. Let's go look. Let's go look. Is the Bloodborne comic any good? I didn't read it. No, but I heard it was very good. I'm going to alt f4 Bloodborne here stage of history. All right, bro. We need to gush about this game. Um, mod downloader. 60 fps cutscene fix. That's not the right one. Um, mod manager. It's cheats. It's under cheats and patches. Okay. I have 60 fps plus+. changes some frame settings like the frame skip, vsync, frame tearing will help with better input delay and response times. Welcome back to the Um 60 fps, no delta time. This is the [ __ ] that Lance figured out, right? Just time skips, no delta time. Cloth corpses won't jump if you lag or stutter, but the game speed might slow if you drop below 60. Chad, do we have any idea? Go to the mod downloader and try the mod called box FPS boost. Wish I could search this text is very small. Delta no delta time is the one that you use. You've tried the no delta time one and I really don't and I don't really like how it handles frame drops. Okay. So it's it I'd imagine it it's saying It probably slows the game down, right? Delta time is the thing that keeps the the pace of the game the exact same at 60. But if you have no delta time or is it delta time? No delta time, then it probably means that the game will literally slow down So, but what if we don't have what if I'm not dropping below 60, you know? What if I'm not dropping before? Let's Let's give that a shot. Increase camera distance. No rally decay. I'm not trying 120 or above 60. I'm just going to keep it at 60. It's the rubber band effect where it catches up. Gotcha. so if I is there no way to to get your patches to show up in this repository if So I have to like go to the site itself. Okay. And just download it and stick it in a folder in here. Welcome back to the history. Make sure to enable Lightroom patch for 4K. Uh light grid increases performance by lowering light draw calls. Oh, I just I just disabled a bunch of disable AA. I guess that's FXA because that's what the game uses. Increase graphics size heap mod 2. Um, increase graphics heap. I have an uh 7,800 lower object corpse physics. You can make it not as crazy. Um, okay. Increase camera distance, stealth, game region, enemy control, 4K light grid, and wait, wrong one. 384. Where the [ __ ] 16 by9. There we go. All right. Save. And then it would probably be under mod downloader. Come back to the stage of Disable cloth physics. Disable FXA. We have that. Visual upgrade mod is not the one. Subtitles. Welcome back Box X FPS. And re That's a reshade. There's a reshade preset to give you the feeling of original Bloodborne postprocessing to make everything visible in pitch black interiors. Uh, that is FPS boost. It modifies map files by disabling dynamic shadows, light sources, SFX. That's not what we No, no, that's turning [ __ ] off to give us more FPS. The FPS isn't the problem, chat. We're running 60 like almost locked. Um, it's not that. It's just that stage of It's reporting 60. We're just not seeing it. We don't want to do that. Okay, I have to go to the website. Hold on a second. Nexus mods. Uh, Bloodborne. This is so cool. Typing in Bloodborne mods. And there's a [ __ ] ton of them, brother. There's a fuckload of them. Enhanced controls. Jump on L3. here chat, look at all the huge titty mods we got in here. Uh more frames on eye rolling. Damn. uh see updated popular. This is the one, right? Oh, this is from two [ __ ] Oh, have you been working on it for that long? Is that it? BC Remastered. That's the one. So, adds dynamic shadows to everything. Um, G parameters, boost shadow, render distance, stability, parallax. God damn, new point lights. Whoa, bro. If people put in point lights into this [ __ ] and they're actually like changing that stuff on the back end, [ __ ] are literally going to make this game work with path tracing. It's going to be nuts. If people can literally modify all the lights in every single way possible, dude, this game is going to get path tracing at some point. It's going to look [ __ ] nuts. Ray tracing is one thing. I get it. But like if all the lights are appropriately positioned like an invisible obviously then then yeah you can do path tracing straight up. I mean I don't know how you would inject it into the [ __ ] game but if it can already support RTX then I'd imagine someone's working on it oh, there's a reshade preset. Okay, so let's just see. Let's just see. Wow, dude. Look at these [ __ ] shadows. Wow. Holy [ __ ] Everything looks so much more dynamic. Holy [ __ ] Those looks looks pretty similar. pretty similar. No, some of them look really good. It gives the game more depth. Yeah. Yeah. All right. I'm ready. I'm ready. I want it. Uh the full mod patch 1.0. March 22nd, March 17th. So, Oh wow, this [ __ ] is huge. The Oh, wow. You did not do a small amount of work. Holy [ __ ] That [ __ ] is [ __ ] huge. Um, damn. I might have to pay for the subscription. Holy [ __ ] Get 99.7 and 1.0 for the full thing. Yeah, that makes sense. I might engage the free trial. This might be this might be my calling, chat. Hold on a second. Do I have to put in a credit card? Yep, I do. It literally is like, "Hey, give us some [ __ ] money. Come on." Uh, how long is this going to take us normally? Let's find out. Like, give us some money. Uh, that [ __ ] says seven hours. Oh man, am I about to buy it? Am I about to buy it? DM me a link. Have you got from soft here? Let me Am I following you on Twitter? You got a Google Drive link? Just saying. I'll just drop it on there. Um, no it got faster. Oh, no it didn't. It still had like eight [ __ ] hours, dude. Eight goddamn hours. Uh, hold on a sec, chat. Let me check. Let me check. Christ. let me check. Okay. Just make sure that's working. I sent you a DM. Who for Godzilla minus Zero? Um, I never saw the first one. Kenny never told me about it, right? My friend Kenny, he never uh spoke about it. So, I just never thought I I assumed it wasn't good, you know. Kenny just wouldn't like he he refused to talk about it and he refu my my quote unquote friend. Kenny, my quote unquote friend. Um, welcome back to the What else is in here that's really good? Bloodborne enhanced 60 fps cutscene fix. Sick. Let me start this download. Let me kill this one. Um, thank you. Thank you very much. Damn. 10 minutes. Let's go. Let's go. Get that 1.0 as well. Hey, sick. Thank you. I'll see what we got to do to uh install it. Okay, chat. This will take only a few minutes. Um, and by the way, yeah, check out here. Let me let me do some appropriate plugin. Um, all the dang like 19 gigabytes worth of work to remaster Bloodborne from Softsurf has done. Um, go ahead and follow him on Twitter. Hit him up. He's got support links in there, too. You know, if you guys appreciate this stuff or have seen like how much work has gone into it, please hit him up because that it's [ __ ] super cool. It's crazy. It's [ __ ] Again, man, it's like a after the experience I've had with the modding community in several games now. Like, I truly feel the future for the majority of games that like just aren't ever getting official support, like fans are doing it better. You know, I'll be completely honest, man. fans are probably doing a better job than most of the companies ever would. The one of the only times I've actually run into a situation where it's like the devs cooked so [ __ ] hard. I can't believe it was the Marvel vs. Capcom collection and they cooked so goddamn hard. I couldn't believe they came back like a year later and they're like, "Here's all this other shit." I'm like, "What the fuck?" All this like crazy stuff that very infrequently happens, dude. So, I I I really appreciate it when like it does happen. But bro, fans do crazy [ __ ] Day 100 of Ask Max to actually watch Godzilla minus one. Not a meme. I'll see it eventually, Shadow. I'll watch it eventually. Um, see what else we got in here. Where are the big titty mods? Come on. Uh, this is the one I downloaded for better cloth physics, and it was very good. Sound crash fix workound. Bright object flash fix. These are just things like over time. Yeah, that had to get figured out and ironed out. Use lossless scaling. So, I have lossless scaling, right? I do. Um, this this program is [ __ ] amazing, chat. Like, this [ __ ] is [ __ ] amazing. There's a problem with it. For me to stream my PC footage, I use uh I used a cloned a clone monitor device setting, right? where it clones this stuff and puts it someplace else and it puts it into my capture card. Uh, lossless scaling doesn't work the best with clone devices. But if you're at home and you're just messing around and you want to like add frames and you want to like upscale any of your images, anything in old games, new games, you can play PSO at 60 fps, you can play PSO at 120 fps. Uh, you can play any older game at mega good frame rates and [ __ ] as long as it's just running in your PC. It's crazy. It's insane, dude. So, unfortunately, um, whenever I've tried it, it doesn't perform the best. It's good sometimes and then it like tanks and I'm like, what's going on? I found out it's because I have a clone device and because it's it's cloning it between between two different images, it just isn't smart with it. But 99% of people aren't going to be doing that because, you know, I'm a weird [ __ ] Use it for switched emulated games. It's magical and Didia Duo Desim at 60? Really? So, anything that's an older game pretty much anything that's an older game that runs at like lower FPS. It breaks a lot of games where physics and animations are tied to frame rate. I could see that. I could definitely see that. Estus vials. What the [ __ ] More options at lamps. More blood. How much more blood? Like I don't see any difference here. I've seen Dark Souls II path tracing. It looks [ __ ] amazing. Holy [ __ ] Dark Souls II path tracing looks like the fake ass video trailers that they sent us before the game came out. Like it looks crazy cool. Uh did I show you did I show you those videos, chat? Did I did I review those on stream? It looks [ __ ] amazing. And again, no, bro. Um, so the the funniest thing is that this is like a this is a like a fan promise, right? Where effectively Bandai Namco was like, "Hey, the game looks amazing, right?" And you're like, "Dude, look at all this cool lighting. It's so dark and moody." And then the game comes out and it's just not. And people are like, "What the [ __ ] What were those trailers?" So, Path Trace Dark Souls 2 looks way closer to the old trailers that Bandai Namco could not deliver on because the game would come out and it has like the flattest [ __ ] lighting you can possibly imagine. And it's like Dark Souls Souls 2 path tracing. Check this [ __ ] out, dude. Look at this [ __ ] as this is downloading. This is probably going to get copyritten here. Let's skip through a bit. Look at that [ __ ] on the right, man. Look how [ __ ] supernatural that looks. Not supernatural, but super space natural. It's incredible. And wait till you get to like dark areas, dude. Look at it. Like, look at the lighting like adjust as your eyes enter an area. Look at that [ __ ] Wow. What the [ __ ] I don't know, man. That looks pretty amazing to me. Maybe it's just me, bro. Look how Look at this flat ass. Look at this flat ass. Look at that Holy mother of God. It's a different It's a different [ __ ] game. The ass is flat. They do probably need some hero lighting. I wonder if that's a thing that can be adjusted. If you can actually like do the uh the typical hero lighting and make it so that the main character is always illuminated. This was a thing we were messing around with in RE9 where uh you can disable that and the character is truly in the dark. Like you can't see [ __ ] Look at this [ __ ] man. It just it looks like a modern game. Like straight up. Like I cannot believe that these are the two of the same rendered images and it just looks like the game has been completely remastered. I don't get it, dude. You prefer it off. I could understand that, especially if you're used to the old one. But this [ __ ] looks like it's a remaster. Again, I see what you mean. The original has a completely different texture and tone to it. It does. It it it visually looks very different. Oh my god, dude. Look at all the [ __ ] atmosphere that shows up out of nowhere. What the hell? This is This is that comparison that's been going around on Twitter where somebody added like shadows and a sunset to like the the Invincible versus Conquest scene. This is what that's like. And and poor [ __ ] animators. They're like, "We had no time." Like, "Please don't hate us. We had no time." Oh. Oh my god. Oh my god. Chat, hold on to your ass. Right. Is this playable now? I think it is. What the [ __ ] dude? That's [ __ ] crazy. I get the functionality of hero lighting, but turning that off and matching it with path tracing or lumen makes the experience more immersive and cinematic. Even Tekken 8 looks better. Um, no. Like fighting games, I I don't recommend it on fighting games. It would be cool in single player sequences, don't get me wrong. I'm completely fine with it. Like if you did like Lumen in Tekken, people have enabled it. It's really cool, but not for like playing other people. You need like a standard of like how the visuals look. Wait, what the [ __ ] Oh my god, that [ __ ] is so dark. That's the thing. You have no hero lighting, so it's so dark. extremely dark. Like extremely dark in some of these rooms. You know what it does? It hides the absolute gross ass like environmental art that Dark Souls has through like 90% of its game. Dark Souls II has is environmentally ugly as [ __ ] I'll be honest. It's a really fun game, but for some reason the environment artist was just on break and the DLC is the only stuff that looks kind of cool. It hides most of that now, so it looks a lot better. Yeah, there's really repetitive textures just everywhere. Yeah, Magula looked good. The opening area looked really good, but then you get to most other zones and it just looks like kind of nasty. This is so cool. What the hell? That is way different. It's funny. Yeah, some shots actually look kind of better in some of the old one. It does completely change the tone of the scene. You know, that's one thing because they're doing natural illuminated lighting from all of these torches. Everything's going to be orange cuz it's like fire light. So, it completely changes the mood of the scene. Oh, this shit's about to look crazy. Oh my god, bro. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. You can see the characters in the water. Wa! Wow. This looks like Demon Souls remake, dude. It looks honestly comp like granted the the texture quality, model quality is low, but it looks close to like Demon Souls quality. That's insane. This is [ __ ] crazy. Looks like another game. Just looks like a completely other game. I don't get it. Like, where is all this atmosphere coming from? Like that's my question. Did they Did they somehow add it to it or does path tracing just naturally give you atmo? Did they add fog? It's completely different. They they some somehow there's like way more volumetrics and [ __ ] in some areas. You can check out scholar and the second sin which is another preset for DS2 lighting engine. Interesting. This is f [ __ ] amazing. Here's the thing. I'm going to be real, chat. This industry needs to go all in on future games and their lighting using path tracing because this is a significant upgrade. Like Resident Evil 9 looks [ __ ] incredible with path tracing. It's like unbelievable. As long as like we're not just doing things with like cooked in lights all over the place, dude. It's really expensive right now. Granted, so was RTX at the beginning. And we don't want things to be changing the visual imagery from like old games to new games. This is just fascinating that this could look so much better. I don't agree artistically all over the place. No, no, no. Cuz some of it does look artistically different, but that's [ __ ] that can be tweaked, you know? Like that is [ __ ] that can be figured out. So imagine if devs have this immediately, like right out the bat, you get a game that is like Resident Evil 9, which looks [ __ ] amazing with Path Tracing. Like it looks incredible. The issue with it is that you need like a 4,000 series GPU or like a 5000 series. It is really, really expensive and it takes it takes a lot from anything to do it. You're not getting path tracing on modern day consoles and [ __ ] But that's going to change, right? Like over time they're going to open up resources in VRAMm to make it so that this won't be as taxing or they're going to have to like lower the game's requirements in other ways to boost this. And straight up the visual quality of games will start to look really [ __ ] cool. Also, I don't want every game to look like this. I think in games where they are supposed to have realistic visuals, it looks [ __ ] amazing. It's crazy how good it looks. But do I want every game to be path trace? No. Some games need their baked in ass lighting and it should look very it it should look the way it does. Not every game needs to have realistic light bounce. Doesn't need it. But god damn, like in some of these realistic ass looking games, it's [ __ ] amazing, dude. It's incredible. And that that's the same game. What the [ __ ] This What the [ __ ] This isn't like RTX is on. Now you got to look at the windows to see the difference. What the [ __ ] Look at that [ __ ] And I get it. Like you might like the styling of the first one. This objectively is more immersive. Just objectively is way more immersive. And it could be tuned. I get it. But like they're definitely modifying textures in that mod. Is it? because it looks similar between both of them. So the one on the left is purely OG game, nothing else. And the right one gets benefited textures. There's a farm preset, my scholar of the second sin preset, and a couple of others that control how each area look in the textures, shadows, and lighting. Okay, so there's a lot of [ __ ] that goes into it. Okay, so there's a lot of [ __ ] outside of just path tracing. An example of how butt [ __ ] ugly Dark Souls I can look, the perfect example, and this is a lot of the game, dude. This is like the majority of the game looks like this. It's [ __ ] bad. Get Dude, this is about to look like a completely different game. Oh my god, bro. Oh my god. Oh my god. That's insane. That's [ __ ] insane. This is all fan done, dude. Bad. Yes. No, no, no. Ain't no ain't I I I I like Dark Souls 2's too as well, right? Okay. I enjoyed this game. I had a really good time with it. I was like, people are too harsh on it, but there ain't no [ __ ] revisionist history. Game looks like trash the majority of the time. It's insane from what it comes from. Like what what it's what it's built from. No, no, no. Ain't no revisionist history. That game looks like [ __ ] Like I It's like shocking how bad it looks. And like Dark Souls I was my first Souls game that I was I tried and I'm like why do people like this? Like it's just hard and then I didn't play Dark Souls 1 until later and I was like oh why does Dark Souls 1 look so much better than two? What the [ __ ] is going on? The funniest thing is that the the biggest thing that's happening over here is also a natural desaturation on top of all the color. Yeah. And I that can be changed, right? That's not a thing that needs to stay. It's it's a post-process of some kind that they are going for a different like washed out looking image, but that can change. It's Yeah, like yeah, FromSoft says it's all completely editable. It's a it's it's a post-process like you can change that. It's more of a technical display of like the lighting. I actually don't like this one. I think it's incredibly impressive, but yeah, I would like there to be some color to the scene. It looks like it's down to like 15% saturation. Oh, this shit's about to go off. I'm ready, bro. All the shadows and lights are going to blast. Oh, I'm ready. Chat, you ready? Not what I expected. It wasn't what I expected. Wasn't what I expected. Still looks I think it's where Oh, dude. Dude, the torch looks good. This is [ __ ] cool. This is just [ __ ] cool. Holy [ __ ] There was a guy over there, [ __ ] I couldn't even see that [ __ ] dude. I couldn't even see that guy. There was a guy there. If I was running around that at the beginning of the game again, I would have ran into his back and been like, "Ah, wow. There's a [ __ ] guy over there. I want to play this on stream. I think I do. I think I want to try this on stream. This [ __ ] is [ __ ] amazing. Interesting. Oh yeah, some some stuff gets weirdly really softened out. You hated DS2, but you bleed play the hell out of it. It's No, it's still a great game, dude. It still has the most weapon variety of all Souls games. Like, it's insane. Like, I I could not believe how many crazy weapons I would come across. constantly. I had a good time. That's nuts. That [ __ ] is nuts. The path tracing video for Pragmata. I haven't I'm I'm just gonna I'm actually not looking at Pragmata stuff right now. I'm just waiting to see it. So, I'm going to be playing Pragmata and like 4K 60 with path tracing and I just want to I just want that to be my experience, you know? Like I'm I'm sort of staying away from all the marketing and promotion just to see what And I heard of reviews and reviews are pretty [ __ ] good. So, it's the it's the best reviewed Capcom game uh that's a new IP in forever. Like, it it is actually the highest reviewed Capcom game that is a brand new IP in a very long time. No, Dark Souls 2 isn't getting a remaster. This is all done by fans. These are just mods. Oh, get ready. Welcome back to the stage. Kind of bummed out. Kind of bummed out. That was kind of meh. This [ __ ] is insane. Sorry about the pog face. Holy [ __ ] Holy [ __ ] I'm sorry about the pog face, Wow, that is insane. That's insane. Uh-oh. This might be crazy better. It's funny in some situations there just like is no illumination. It's almost like too dark. I keep jinxing it. Yeah. So path tracing is like is similar to RTX where it's like light will work like it naturally does. like it it it literally is emulating photons which is why it is so expensive. Like there's so much sim happening like behind the scenes. It takes so much resources because it is it is mimicking the way light actually works instead of there being like cuz all lights in video games are fake lights, right? They they they they look like a light but they're not really functioning like the way light does. This is like light is bouncing off of stuff and hitting other points, right? Like light is actually working the way it it is supposed to work. All video game light is [ __ ] Like for the most part, like a lot of it is does not technically work the way you think it does. It just looks like it does, which is which is fine. Um, path tracing when you get games that support it and it runs well, like Resident Evil 9, light is working the way it normally it actually would in real life. You can't just turn path tracing on and expect it to look good because the game needs to be designed around it. Like you need to put invisible lights all over the place that that support it. You know what I mean? So because of that, I think it's where like things should go moving moving into the future. Like I think the visual upgrade and especially realistic looking games is insane. The problem is right now it just is so expensive. It costs so much. Some places aren't the artist intent, right? In several points in this, you would not, even under path tracing, want to light a scene that way. You would go in and make adjustments. You would not. But there's no reason why you can't and still make path tracing work for you. There's no reason why you can't. You can still put like invisible lights in some places to illuminate the character, illuminate the scene in some areas. Yeah, you can still do that. That fire is way too dark. I have I have just in general the sun is really bright. Like really [ __ ] bright. Like a lot brighter than fire or like lanterns and [ __ ] The sun is really bright. So it's going to be brighter than any other light like in general you know real if true sun is really bright. Should it be illuminating some of the other scene especially cuz it's uh it's offiscated in shadow. Yeah. I think in some of this this is this is this is an area where you would go in and tweak this [ __ ] a little bit. And that's the thing is that like path tracing is a tool. It isn't just insert pathing.exe. If you want to see like a game that does this incredibly, and it's probably the best example of path tracing that has been released yet, it's Resident Evil 9. And I get it, not everybody can play the game to experience it, but [ __ ] Like, it is it's nuts. Yeah, Cyberpunk also has a really cool implementation of path tracing as well. Like, it's [ __ ] incredible, dude. Anyway, I just think this is really impressive. I think it's just really impressive. Yeah. Wait, hold on a second. Where's the scene of the dude like the the big guy smoking the cigar in the car? Where's that one? That's the one that I was like, "Fuck me, dude. What the [ __ ] is this? I need a video." Rick Ross, whoever the [ __ ] his name is. Um, I would like to see that. Uh, Cyberpunk Race. What's his name? Dexter. Yeah. Check this out. Normally I hope this is going to be [ __ ] literally nothing. It literally did. Actually [ __ ] nothing. Wow. That's not the scene I was looking at. That's crazy that I would get let down that hard. That's the jinxer. I'm not jinxing [ __ ] Cyber path tracing. Dexter images. Okay, here's a better one. Right. Okay. Ray tracing. It's not that different. I'm gonna shut the [ __ ] up. Can we play Bloodborne now? Chat, you're pissing me off. You're pissing me off cuz you're not validating my opinions in the moment. You [ __ ] bloborn. Um, let me get these files in [ __ ] dare you. Um, extract. Extract. Uh, oh [ __ ] Oh. Oh no. Uh. Oh. Oh, it's just extracting to wait. There we go. I did the wrong thing. Wait. We tried being a peanut. I've always wanted to be. Is this the graphical jump we needed for so long? Um, so what the industry really needs right now is [ __ ] not to take so [ __ ] long to make. I'll be real. And path tracing still is going to take like lighting engineers and people that actually understand lighting and all that kind of [ __ ] The biggest problem right now is that games take too long to make. So if things can help out by making that an easier process and just not having to have projects take 5 years plus, it needs to happen. Like it's too much. So as long as like you can get some games that do this [ __ ] in a way that is like effective. Yeah. You know, that could save a lot of time. It doesn't mean that the artistic integrity of the game is going away. No, you still need people that Why are you lighting things in certain ways, right? Why does the image look a certain way? Why would we be doing that? Can we go in and fix certain things? Like, yeah, that's the thing. Also, AI, dude, I'm completely okay with AI making its way into the industry. That doesn't take away the jobs of people. Straight up. And a lot of the stuff that people have been using for industry AI nowadays has been in QA. And it's the stuff that is like absolutely [ __ ] like smash your head against a wall QA type [ __ ] like collision chat. Have you ever worked in a Do we have people that have ever worked in video game QA and you've had to work on menu or collision? It's insanely tedious. Nobody even wants the goddamn job. Like it sucks. and you're just running around looking for things that will break collision or break like certain menus and stuff like that, that [ __ ] can be automated. You know why? Because those people would be much better off spending their time working on other systems and things that need manpower instead of like tedious [ __ ] cuz it sucks. It sucks. it sucks as a job and those people would prefer to do other stuff like actually like trying systems in the game if they're buggy or [ __ ] up. So anyway, it's not AI though. It's really play capture inputs. It's a similar aspect like they're still relying on like algorithmic use of AI and [ __ ] to discover and figure out stuff. If we're saying again this is the difference between generative [ __ ] and AI that's actually helpful. Like there are things that can be helpful to this industry, but the stuff that is just used to take away jobs is [ __ ] Like it's [ __ ] trash. [ __ ] made by a robot, you know, kids bud. Thank you, So yeah, there's AI and I I actually love AI upscaling. I love it. I don't like generative AI upscaling. DLSS is also AI before DLSS5. That was not generative. It does have an algorithm. It does get input. It needs it requires all this [ __ ] But no [ __ ] joke, without that [ __ ] we would have been hard stopped. Like we would have legit been hard stopped on video game visuals back in like the PS4 to PS5. So to me, it's like there's a benefit to this. Like this this [ __ ] does actually make [ __ ] run very well. It's but it's not the generative horseshit. It's not the language model ass balls that is being pedled around like it's the next coming of God or some [ __ ] that nobody [ __ ] likes and they're trying to convince us that we're all supposed to like it. It's not chat GPT, dude. So anyway, history um slightly apprehensive towards some aspects. It took it's Capcom said it took engineers one and a half years to get R9's path tracing down. Also having make sure the artists were satisfied with the look. Exactly. And that process is going to get like easier over time as long as like it obviously was one of the first big games that Capcom has ever worked with path tracing, you know. Um, okay. So, I got some files. Hold on a second. From soft server. I didn't see what you said. Let me go back up. got that goddamn song in my head now. To the stage of history. I recommend turning on the screen space screen space reflections patch in the patch menu on chat PS4. Roger. Roger. Enable screen space reflections. This will decrease performance, but it enables SSR. Very nice reflections on reflective surfaces. Cool. I'll take it. And that just goes. That just goes. That's a patch, not a mod. Mods we have to inject. Patches are just like changes to existing parameters. Okay. Um, so I'm going imagine I need to do this. Uh, not my log folder, my mods folder. Yeah. Uh, let me go back and read Let me go back and read what I got to do um to inject this [ __ ] in here. Uh launcher mods active do not delete mods. Is this legal? Yeah, emulation is completely legal. cloth physics. These are all active Releases. Okay. Go back here. BB remaster. Let me also open up another folder of these. Did I download Am I drunk? Uh, I don't think I did. Hold on a sec. I need I need the patch. Okay, this one's small. My lord, is it legal? Me lord. Yo, Keithan, thank you. Aonx, thank you. Nukem Locky. Yeah, if you own the game, it's legit. I literally have my copy of Bloodborne. I literally put it in my disc drive back when we uh were making this [ __ ] work on PlayStation 4, PS4 Pro and all the mods. Um yeah, so I just went and got that ISO and we're good. You need to get uh if you're going to do this, you need the game of the year version of Bloodborne because it has all the DLC included and doesn't have the patch. You need to get a patch file. Yeah, that's it. Think master patch 1.0 extract. So that's all right. So let me go back to the website now and figure out how to install this [ __ ] I'm back on the Nexus. Let's read. Let's read. Installation. Option one, copy the folders from this mod over to your DVD root PS4 folder and overwrite. Optional. Step two. If you want to use my reshade preset, download the reshade here. um during the install from soft recommended on the reshade required. So I have to download I think I already have reshade. You just those you just put the files in there and then it just does the reshade. Not required. Okay. So we just copy the folders from the mod over to the DVD root PS4. Okay. Hold up. and in here DVD root PS4 does it go over the because now it's made several folders. I never learned to read. Let me go back. Copy the folders from the mod over. It should be the top one. Okay. The first file. Gotcha. Um, and I'll down I'll put in the the first stuff. Copy. Paste. You're going to be modding this for hours. Play 20 minutes. Never touch this game for years. Well, what's wrong with that? What the [ __ ] is wrong with that? I worked on a game for 2,000 hours for a year and I played it for three days because my life is so [ __ ] busy. What the [ __ ] is wrong with that? Okay, my [ __ ] ass spent $30,000 paying like 40 [ __ ] people to remaster a game for a year with 2,000 hours of my own goddamn time sitting and looking at Unreal Engine 4 so that I can play it for three [ __ ] days and the community just gets to enjoy it. What the [ __ ] is wrong with that? Anyway, this emulation was sponsored. No, I'm talking about uh I'm talking about NBCIB. That's what people do. That's what most modders do. Max is crashing out. It is It is funny to be like someone that invests so much time and effort into a thing and then you make a thing and it's just it's just done. It's just out there, you know. Um, I I have the same experience of like making all the movies and [ __ ] we did 10 years ago and they have like feverish fan bases and they would like come up to me and talk to me about like a part of the show because they have watched this god god willing like 50 to 100 times and my [ __ ] ass made it and I watched it a couple of times so I can they could be put out but once it's out there it's just out there and it's just like I haven't thought about it much since we did that or until we revisit it. So I would get people that would come to me and ask about what characters say and what they do and why this didn't reflect on that and I'm just like [ __ ] You know more about this than me and I [ __ ] made it, you know? So it's it's weird to be in that situation. That's all I got to say is that it's funny to be in that situation where it's like [ __ ] I did this and I haven't put that much thought into it. Not that much. This is why I sympathize with devs a lot of the times, you know, it's like they just do a thing and put out there. What happens after that? That's not their control, man. Um, okay. So, I'm just going to drop the other two files in here with the patch. And there we go. I think we're good. yo, thank you Fromoft for hooking up those files. Project Hail Mary is getting its theatrical release extended. God bless it. God bless it. That movie's making a ton of [ __ ] money. Thank that movie was [ __ ] great. Um, God bless it. Uh, all right. So, let's get back in Bloodborne cheats and patches. Nothing on cheats. Skip intro. Uh, I like motion blur. Sorry. Dynamic lighting and shadows. Leave that on. Disable chromac chromatic aberration. Um, I'm assuming the FromSoft. Answer me on this if we know. mod manager FXA off. Damn. Did I not even I'd imagine that counts, right? I'd imagine that is enough. We don't need to do another thing. That's disable disabling the anti-aliasing. Um, I'm assuming. Yo, Figgly Puffs. Thank you, Zaronus. GS Louise. Actually, we should turn off that mod. Really? Okay. So, leave the mod off. Have the general game settings be the thing that turns it off. Welcome back to the story. I think that makes more sense. the the engine modification is probably better. Cheats and batches. Batches disable anti-aliasing. Okay, cool. Fod crash fix may unintentionally prevent sound playback. I don't know what that is. Tech scale. Don't have an Intel CPU. Don't need DS1 physics. I'm fine with that. No delta time. So, we are running a different FPS. I hope with all this the game actually starts. We are making a lot of modifications. Yeah, usually you want to do these like one thing at one or two things at a time. All right, let's rock and roll. Yo, Danny, thank you. Save it. Rock and roll, baby. The teaser for Space Pulse 2 just came out. Don't tell me that. How complex was game development for you? Like working in UEIE4 uh in UE4? Game development for me on KI was really easy because I I had tools in game to make it work. But UE4 was definitely like, "Oh, what the [ __ ] do I do? I'm going to rely on other people for this." Until somebody just taught it to me. Like, our lead dev just taught it to me, Arabus. And I started finding solutions in Unreal Engine 4 for issues that we had been having the whole time that a lot of our other modders did not run into. And I was just poking around, dude, because we would always have saved states uh that would let [ __ ] rock. We could always fall back on it. And yeah, it was uh it was dope. We had a commitment what we had we had a commitment branch as well where you could not make changes to the game like we were all working under the same branch that was like a virtual branch. So everyone was working on different versions of the game and we we would always have to go through like through me or through the lead dev commits. Whoever's committing changes to the game cannot just do that until it goes through like me or him. So those commitments we'd have to review every single [ __ ] day of what everybody put into it and then it'd have to give like a sign off like an okay. I would give the okay. This is the same [ __ ] that I had to go through on KI where we all the same thing happened in KI where if I was going to commit anything to KI uh I would have to download new branches. I would have to download new commits that everybody else would put into and then you know actually get the changes. So that was a pretty familiar like process to me. Um and yeah [ __ ] up [ __ ] happens. We have to roll back. The game's [ __ ] broken. Ah, [ __ ] What happened? You know, we have to go back and figure out what happened the last day. What took place? Yeah, that was fun. You know, that was uh it was fun just figuring it out. I enjoyed it. Could you retexture bad guy from XR U4 if you wanted to? What you learned? Yeah. No, no, no. It wouldn't be that hard. I'd have to relearn it cuz it's been a year and a half since I [ __ ] done it. But like if you wanted to give me those files and [ __ ] dude, I was already thinking about doing it for Soulcalibur, but nobody made a Soulcalibur editor yet. And that was the problem is that you needed like an editor, like an actual like executable that was able to like get it get into the files and edit them. And we had that for MVCI, but we don't have that for Soulcalibur. I wanted to do it for MKX as well, but they're MKX is also Unreal Engine 3. Anyway, shut the [ __ ] up. Soul shading in Soulcalibur. I wanted to try it. Yeah, I was thinking of trying it. I was just going to flatten a character in Soulcalibur to see what it looks like. It would still take a [ __ ] ton of time. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Okay. Even out. Wow, dude. the [ __ ] shadows. Okay, hold up. Huh? Dude, look at the light there. Like the little bit of light peeking through Well, I'll be damned. Uh, F10. Getting some minor frame drops here and there, but yeah, that's crazy, dude. It's nuts how how soft the characters faces look because of because of that [ __ ] Is the shimmering unavoidable? Do you guys see shimmering on your end? [ __ ] I see no shimmering on my end. Like, I see none. Everyone looks freshly shaved. Choose your poison. Bloodborne made with Sony first party game mechanics or Bloodborne movie animated in the style of Pixar. It's like a Pixar animated Bloodborne movie. Ooh, crunchy. Oh my god, the repeating pistol is balls. Yeah, the frame timing is still a little funky. Ooh, we're dropping down to 50 here. Ah, all right. So, I'm thinking I might need to run the game at 1440p cuz check it out. Now, we're getting actual tangible frame drops with all these changes. The stage of history. Now we're getting tangible frame drops, bro. With a 4090. Yeah. Yeah. Look at that. 50 fps. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Could be a shaders thing. I mean, it could be, but it also is just little chunky, man. Lights are expensive. They are. Um. Yeah, visually it looks great. We just have to iron out these little things, that area is legit the hardest area in the game on on like from a hardware perspective, it's like the hardest one. Luckily, 99% of the lights I added are not shadow casting, so they are relatively cheap. So, you pretty much went in here and reit the whole [ __ ] game, that I tried on a 5090. Uh, no, not yet. I'd like to tell you it's easy just to pop in my 5090, but your computer has to like reaclimate to it like it's a blood transfusion. bro. This looks [ __ ] insane. Everything has so much more depth, dude. Even like the cobblestones. Look at that reflection. What the [ __ ] Wow. You're right, dude. You're totally right. Look at the ground. Holy [ __ ] This is practically a remaster. It's practically a remaster at this point. Look at this comedy light. Brother, do I have any rocks? Oh [ __ ] he found me. I don't know how, but he found me. This [ __ ] looks magical, [ __ ] [ __ ] Oh god. After you beat One Reborn and you get the crazy sky, get ready. Hey, no spoilers. Dude, this is this running so smooth right now. Holy [ __ ] I think it might just be that area. How is the torch lighting? How's the input lag? I'm not noticing anything different than the original game necessarily. How's the torch lighting? This all get redone, too. torchy. You can't like light lift the torch in this game. You can only attack with it. it seems shimmering shows on anything metallic reflective from the stream side. Yeah, look at that [ __ ] man. Wow. You can actually see the metall. It looks like metal. Actually looks like metal. Could you try 1880p? Might not need to go full 1440. Yeah. So, if I did 1,800 um if I did 1,800p, what is my what is my vertical resolution or can I I think it probably has a setting for it. Oh, there's the slowdown. Yeah, check it It just because we're not on that frame timing, it's just slowing down a bit. Welcome back to the stage. That was close. This is the first This is the first area you die in, chat. God damn it. This is the first place everybody dies. God damn. Love the animations on this weapon. You died of a huge ass executioner, [ __ ] That's fair. That's fair. You know what? I you know what this reminds me of Fromoft to give you credit. Um this looks like the way the game has always looked, right? You know the Resident Evil HD mod, the RE4 HD mod? It reminds me of that where it's like, "Oh man, yeah, this just looks like Bloodborne, but it looks great." And then if you could if you actually put it side by side to the original game, you realize how [ __ ] ugly the original game is in some of these ways. And then you would not notice how how substantial of an upgrade it is. But that's because similar to RE4 HD did not really want to change how the game like is perceived. Did not. We should honestly launch up the PS4 version. I can turn on the PS5 very easily and get to this area. Bro, look how crazy the lighting is. It's hard to see it without a side by side, I'd imagine. And that's that's kind of the idea, you know. So pretty. But I think I think I'm going to drop it. I want to get more consistent of a frame rate. PS4 settings. game specific. uh what did somebody say? Okay, we wanted to put this at 1,800. So, what is Somebody do some math for me. If we did 1,800, what is is it 3200 by, 1800? Thank you. 16 by9. So, yeah. Okay. Okay. Why? Um, and then I'll go back and check the That's not it. It's under cheats and patches. Patches. Was there an 1800p 4K light grid? I wonder if we want to drop that resolution patch. 4K light grid would be correct. Okay. Yeah. Would the Would I still stay stay on the 4K resolution patch? Can actually do it through a resolution patch. H you personally play on the 1440p. do I need to modify this in some way? Hm. Or just rock the the 4K one and just pray to God. Or just do not touch the resolution Marvelous. Yo, uh, Bella, thank you. Somewhat new here. Loved all the BB randomized stuff you got me through. Tough times. Find you on YouTube then. Recommendations. Yo, thank you. Yeah, that that playthrough was godlike. That playthrough was godlike. Um, resolution match with proper lock on enemy. Oh. Oh, this changes the coordinates of all the interface. Oh, so it might be a little off. 2K patch works perfectly. All right, let's do that. This just moves. It doesn't like rendering the game. No, no, no. just the positioning of UI elements that are that are in the world will be displayed incorrectly if you do high resolution. This happened when we when we ran KI uh the old version that Double Helix made. We ran it at like at like 1440p and 4K and all of the counterbreaker and combo breaker symbols were in the wrong spot and that's because it's rendering it to literally 720p. All right, let's save that. Play. I My memory is already at the maximum. Damn, dude. Look at that [ __ ] Can we co-op on this? Dude, it's in the works. Oh, this [ __ ] is running [ __ ] smooth. Oh boy. I might Here's the thing. I might actually need the freaking 5090. This [ __ ] is running smooth AF. Yeah, I want to do lossless scaling. I would I would it would be way better, but lossless scaling is not great with Are these guys bugged out? They are. They are. Help. Got him. Oh my god, my gun. That still hit me. This guy's aggro. Just this [ __ ] Oh, grandpa ran out of space. Trying to parry, [ __ ] Jesus Christ. Uncapped FPS patch is ideal. It's running pretty good now. I'll be honest. It's running pretty good. Lossless scaling is not great if you're cloning your device. If you have a monitor that's being cloned, it's not It [ __ ] up most of the time. And that's literally what I'm doing for game capture. So by for anybody else, you should be doing it. You should go grab that [ __ ] I didn't grab the [ __ ] shortcut. This is running insanely smooth right This area's got issues. No matter what. I think this area is just going to have issues no matter what. Yeah. This area is going to have issues no matter what. Is this a gem? It is. That was little chunky. Little chunky. Frame timing is all [ __ ] up. You know what? No matter what we do, if we do no delta time, which makes it slow down if we don't if we if we leave that off, it's still [ __ ] up. It's still [ __ ] up. So, I am starting to see that. Um, I'm curious on the other FPS patches. It got me mad curious. It's fine. Do the big bear crab. Oh [ __ ] This is bad. I have a serrated weapon. It works good against these guys. [ __ ] healing. Piece of [ __ ] [ __ ] Piece of [ __ ] Jesus Christ. Well, I'm just engaging the game right now. Feels good. I'm just actually playing the game. Maybe try uncap um and cap the FPS with NVCP. This is the charm for frame rates in a lot of games for you. Yeah, I can do it in control panel. Oh my god, Grandpa got my lives. [ __ ] you. Never realized that that area is right over there. Holy [ __ ] there's the area is over there. This is looking mad pretty. Look how good this [ __ ] looks, man. You've actually replaced all those meshes before to be the high quality versions, but it causes too many issues. Yeah, cuz the engine's just probably not designed for it. I'll mess up your brain. Oh god. Man. Oh, man. Whoa. Holy [ __ ] Whoa. Damn. That's crazy. That's crazy. Uh, wow. Repair. Memorize a carol rune. Whoa, dude. That is a [ __ ] legendary mod. That That is crazy. That's crazy. That's so what that's such a quality of life thing, dude. Doll eraser mod. Touche. Um, did I not get a gem? [ __ ] I got a gem. Yeah, I got a Oh, wait a minute. Is this not What type is it? The radial. And that's why you need to make your plus one to even put in a gem. Oh. Oh, [ __ ] I haven't played the beginning of this game in so long. Yo, XJ and XL Fusion. Appreciate it, guys. Bro, why is there wind? What the [ __ ] Why is there Wait a minute. Why am I just misremembering? There's no wind here. The plants are moving and [ __ ] dude. What the hell? There always has been. No, I don't know if I remember wind. On 30 FPS, you just don't notice it. Shut up. Shut the [ __ ] up, Chad. Shut the [ __ ] up. Shut the This is the whole reason we're here. Shut the [ __ ] up, chat. I'm [ __ ] so done with you. So done with your smart ass. So I'm so [ __ ] done. Here we go. That's it. That's it. Man, Jack comes in here and just starts saying [ __ ] I have the I have the [ __ ] receipts. Game still looks good. They actually I have to change the weapon. The constant I don't believe it. You stupid bastard. You You stupid idiot bastards were actually right. You [ __ ] smallbrained idiot [ __ ] You were actually right. All right. In all honesty, them shits are moving way more. them shits are moving way more. They be flowing. Like the physics, that's the physics upgrade I got. So, in actuality, I was right, you know? In reality, I was right. I was always right. Always. Always never wrong. Or physics. I'm afraid right. No, I actually downloaded new physics for the game. Like, no [ __ ] Keep that there. I downloaded new physics. So, like you'll notice like the cloak and stuff like that on the character acts a lot more natural. It just has like new physics parameters that make more sense. Yeah, now the flowers are like moving. Wow, look at all that. I definitely see the shimmering now. Holy hell. The flowers are moving a lot. I still have no Oh, cuz I'm an idiot. I need to go talk to Gur now in in 1440p. Now I'm debating like do we have any other anti-alias options because now it is mega shimmery again, I'm kind of curious. Or that just might be a trade-off, you know. Welcome to the You just, you know, um I have no The mod has another AA. Yeah, I'm going to have to try it out. See how it goes, man. Need to buy blood vials. [ __ ] Uh, we tried increasing the resolution. It just gets a little too We're trying to get like a consistent frame rate. That's why he's not playing Pragmata. It's not out, brother. Why Bloodborne, Max? Cuz it's like the best game ever made. Did you just say why Bloodborne? Um, Daniel, thank you. There's really good re-shade on Nexus that gives really good AA. Interesting. Did we just say why Bloodborne? Somebody just asked that. Why Bloodborne? If you wanted to try the do the improved AA as part of your mod, you just turn off the disabled AA patch. Okay. All right. Let's do that really quick. It's so funny that we can we can do this so fast now. We can do this so fast. Bloodborne cheats patches. So, we just leave that Want to try the improved AAS running mod? You just turn off the disable AA patch. Okay, that was quick. Best souls ever made, period. Um, no, no, no. Uh, best game ever made, period. There's only one game in the world that's better than Bloodborne. Only one Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah, that's pretty good. All right, I'm with you. Let's go see if we can kill Cleric Beast. Lee Carvello's putting challenge. I I need the uh I need the I can't Dude, it won't let me lock onto this guy cuz he's in the dark. Kiss my ass, Grandpa. I love it so much when you come to this place in the past and it turns it on you where he has the bombs on him. You're like, "Not this time, Grandpa." So, you kill him and it's like tick tick tick tick tick tick tick and he has all these grenades on him and he blows the [ __ ] up. I love games that do that where they like mess with your expectations. You know what happened in that? You know what did that a lot? He's screaming at me. Dude, you're still alive. What the [ __ ] Wait a minute. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Wait. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Wait. Wait. Wait. He's dead. There's a What? I've played this game enough. There ain't two of those guys there. You died. But right, but the other body is there. He came from the house. Oh, it is that guy. Okay. All right. That's interesting. Like am I drunk? I am I am drunk. Okay, let's see how a boss Let's see if the boss like tanks the frame rate. First insight chat. Step on me. There is a way. Little chunky right now. Ow. Oh boy. A little chunky. Running at 30 when I'm close to this dude. Here. Here. Here. Saying 60. Whoa. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. See, it's saying 60, but the frame timing like it's it's [ __ ] goofy, you know? It's big [ __ ] goofy. So, that FPS patch did not fix this. The FPS packs did not fix it. The counter could be broken. The bell goes off. That was smooth as [ __ ] That was smooth as [ __ ] dude. I think it's I think it's a it's a it's a shader thing, bro. I think it's a shader comp. I'm doing goddamn no damage. I just had to [ __ ] a little. This thing could actually reach his head. Oh my god. How such a rank is destroyed. I'm lucky. Dude, the uh the transform attack on this weapon is hard to use. Straight up hard to use. I skip bosses every once in a while. Holy still pretty cool after the beginning of the fight. Um, dude, I think all of these weird frame timing things are no [ __ ] shader compilation. No kidding. You've heard boss fights can be buggy, so it's possible to random slowdown, so maybe related. Um, I I don't I don't know. I think I could honestly like fire up the game again and go through all this stuff that we've already been through, like start over and probably not have any slowdown, you Probably not have any slowdown cuz it's already built shader comps for all these areas. Make a guide of how to set this up. Um, there there's plenty of them on on YouTube, dude. There's like a ton. Thank you, though. Thankfully, the the emulator does have a shader cache now as of like a couple months ago. I see. I see. And you download Yeah. So, I don't know if there's an ability for you to download like a shader compiled mod or something. where it has compiled shader data for everything in the game. Probably not, but I would not be surprised if that's a thing that's eventually available. It would make sense if that's a thing that they that becomes Yeah, here's the files, you know. Test it to run it again. Yeah, let's do it. Wait, got the eye. That's the beckoning bell. Uh, hold on a sec, chat. System exit. So play offline new game. I will just run over there. Oh yeah. welcome back to the stage of history. Ah, large head. burly lower body. Burly. Very burly. I'm actually surprised that all this [ __ ] is working. Very burly. My favorite kind of burly. Oh, it's not the face is not changing. Yeah, I just realized face isn't changing. It's just doing interesting. So, some mod that we're using prevents the face from being changed. I think that's something in there. Oh, be hair. Hey, hair still works. burn bird. Damn, I've always wanted button chops. Beautiful. Damn it. We were just [ __ ] What am I doing, brother? What am I doing? We were supposed to just go back in and and [ __ ] with [ __ ] What am I doing? Playing the goddamn game is what I'm doing. Save to favorites. My graphics look awful. Uh the rendering of the characters in this scene has always been bad. It's always been rough for some reason. Like the character model always looks really rough in this scene. Good. All signed and sealed. Now, let's begin…
