Bloodborne PS1 Demake: Cleric Beast Gameplay

[@b0tster]

Hi all! Just wanted to re-iterate that this was an unfinished WIP of the fight, and some things were missing due to said unfinished nature (insight gain, rally/regain ect) A lot of these things have now been implemented, as you can see in more recent updates 🙂

The little “R1” indicator over the enemy when they’re primed for a visceral attack is such an inspired touch Maybe partially out of necessity, I’m sure it’s hard to communicate a “prone” state with PS1-style animations alone, but taking liberties with the source material like that is what really elevates this from “Low-Fidelity Bloodborne” to “Bloodborne PS1”

[@b0tster]

i really appreciate that! and you are totally correct! my goal for bbpsx as a ps1 game is to do more than just downres bloodborne, and instead re-create the game to fit design sensibilities during that era you mentioned the spinning r1 being out of necessity, and you really hit the nail on the head. emulating the limitations of a ps1 game (and more than just graphical fidelity! things like audio quality / memory limitations is just as important) will result in methods that feel natural to the era as the devs at the time had to come up with similar solutions to the same problems
