Miyazaki calls Bloodborne “the strongest reflection of my type of flavouring of a game that one can experience”

It's been over a decade now since the release of Bloodborne and despite continuous cries from fans to see more from this world – or even a basic 60fps patch – the game remains locked to the specs of the OG PS4’s hardware. While it appears as though more Bloodborne isn’t coming any time soon, the game’s creator Hidetaka Miyazaki has offered updated thoughts on this modern classic, calling it “perhaps the strongest reflection of my type of flavouring of a game that one can experience.”

In an interview with the publication Game Informer (paywalled), FromSoftware’s Hidetaka Miyazaki reflected on his time working on 2015’s PS4 exclusive Bloodborne, claiming it to be “a special game for me” in part due to the fact that “it was probably the most challenging development cycle we've had from a studio perspective.”

The other main reason it remains special is that Miyazaki “imparted a lot of my own ideas into this game,  whether it be the story, the world-building component, or even the game mechanics and the game systems that are in place” – ultimately calling Bloodborne “perhaps the strongest reflection of my type of flavouring of a game that one can experience.”

Given the reverence that Miyazaki has for Bloodborne, here’s to hoping that another project set in this highly-interesting world does come to fruition at some point or another in the near or distant future.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
