Ones that have not past a threshold for sales vs expenditure I'd imagine. They might be darlings in some communities but both Dreams and Bloodborne had their PS5/PC versions cancelled likely because of projected sales and studio cost I'd imagine.

These sentiments confuse me because the same table shows Until Dawn, a game whose sales are 53% of Bloodborne's, is being remastered. Obviously sales numbers are not the only elements for consideration in these sorts of decisions, but the way you're going on, low sales have doomed this venture when that does not seem particularly likely.

Never said sales are the only factor. R&C, Returnal and Sackboy got PC ported . But Sony's big franchises definitely get special treatment for ports where some franchises are already on sequel ports. Only big franchise not ported yet is GT.

Sony's incompetence is truly staggering.
At this point, I've already assumed that I'm going to have to eventually hack my PS5, most likely when the PS6 comes out and I retire my PS5 as my active console, in order to play Bloodborne at 60fps, among other PS4 games I love.

Maybe it isn't and they're like "meh".
Or maybe they canceled the PC-version and they'll make it Playstation exclusive, because the PC port-begging is starting to feel desperate.

Except they have to deal with Fromsoft to commence a remaster (and Hidetaka Miyazaki is a busy guy) and also they'd have to deal with the state of the code in the game (which could be rough, given the age of the engine Fromsoft worked with and the rapid pace of the studio juggling projects at the time.)
Hackers can kludge the game to run at 60 and never need to think about a QA process. (And at this point, it'd be nice if Sony thought about how simple dirty hacks can be to get games running smoother, although they've got all kinds of frustrating logistical reasons why a corporation can't do what hackers can.) An official port/remaster, however, is a full production and just has to be done differently (and at a different cost,) and sometimes it doesn't work out to do it at all.

If anything, work on a Bloodborne remaster must have been put on hold in favor of giving the game the Demon's Souls & The Last Of Us Part I treatment, as evidenced by how Sony stopped work on an Until Dawn PC port in 2019/2020 to have it remade with instead.
Demon's Souls performance on the market, as well as telemetry data from third-party remakes such as RE2 among others, must have told them that remakes are the way to go rather than simple remasters.

I think that's what is so frustrating is that hackers have done it fairly easy and here's sony just not giving an inch on it.
I could see if we had a BB2 in the works or if we had a Demons Souls type remaster on the way... But man we got nothing. This thread saddens me that it was semi in the pipeline.

Fans should instead be asking for a Bloodborne TV show or movie by PS Studios.

It would be huge on pc. I really don't understand this.
Sony continue to fail with their pc support.

Ghost of Tsushima got patched, why do we need a native version? Give me GoT2Imagine getting a PS5 version of fucking Until Dawn before Bloodborne or Ghost of Tsushima

Yes, and it was just as lazy as Part II's PS5 version.
Really bad look for the tech wizards at both Sucker Punch and Naughty Dog to put out such pathetic remasters while Insomniac's Spider-Man Remastered was so incredible, incorporating raytracing and enhanced assets all across the board, as well as native 4K and 60fps modes.

It blows me away close to 10 years now there's been nothing in the way of a sequel.

I don't think it's ever happening at this point - for whatever reasons. The time to announce it / develop it would have been in the wake of Elden Ring's gigantic success. A Bloodborne port to PC would have made so much fucking money. There must be some reason we don't know about that's meant it's never happened. Potentially a coding issue at From, or something similar.

I would lol if we get a The Order 1886 PS5 remaster before Bloodborne. BB might be one of the few games people seem to actually request (Motorstorm or Killzone collection seem the other one) and it 's the one they don't make.

prefer 4k 60fps remaster. I don't think they will be able capture the atmosphere of the game if they do a remake.

Plus, I'm not aware of many people on social media, forums, etc, begging Sony for a remaster/remake of Until Dawn. Perhaps I'm wrong though and tons of people really wanted it.

This fucking sucks. Bloodborne is one of, if not my all time favourite game. It's painful to play in its current state, and should at least get a "quick fix". 60fps/higher res version. (And PC port, please!)
To see Sony making a remake of that "meh" game Until Dawn while ignoring this classic.. It's so strange. Must (fingers crossed) mean that they have bigger plans for it.
I tried replaying it last year, but the frame pacing and low fps is such a pain. And yeah, some people will obviously say "stop whining, it's fine as it is". Fuck that. It's borderline broken as it is. It was passable in 2015, and it's unacceptable in 2024.
No game has ever had such incredible atmosphere. Just perfection.
Get a Netflix anime done or somethin. That should get Sony to finally get off their asses and fix it.

7 million copies. So pretty good for a Fromsoft game (pre-Elden Ring). And it's more than some of the PS4 remasters and PS5 PC ports they've released, including Until Dawn.
Not hard at all. The hackers have proven as much.
Exactly. Fucking Elden Ring sold 20 million copies in just a couple of months, right? That would've been the perfect time to announce it. Here's your marketing tag line: "From the creators Elden Ring..." and hammer that home in the announce trailer.

The port is probably associated with more work, time and costs than the other ports. And it was probably stopped before the Elden Ring hype.

Performance and resolution was rough but to call the game ugly when it is anything but is just ignorant.
People are not asking for a remake just a performance and res boost.

It probably has more to do with Fromsoft being the dev and not Sony Studios. I bet there are hurdles in making it happen that make it not worth it for Sony unfortunately.

Come on man, we don't need to open this wound again unless it's actually true, or at least pointing towards it. 
I still have no idea why Sony hasn't done it yet. I'd hope there's legitimately something holding them back. If not, dear god are they stupid.
