Well, Soulsborne fans. I'm sorry. It looks like Sony is going to do a Bloodborne movie with Jacksepticeye as the producer. Out of all of the YouTubers you could possibly have do this, Jacksepticeye is probably the WORST one of them. He's bent the knee to the woke mob at every turn in the past, and he's now in working with scumbags who will absolutely be out to break him and want him to fail. He's proven time and time again to be weak of spirit and character and incapable of handling any kind of pressure. On top of that, he's out of his element and dealing with American corporate scumbaggery is not something he's used to. This is probably the worst possible outcome and timeline, because this movie's all but guaranteed to fail now. Maybe, I'm calling this prematurely but I have no faith in Jacksepticeye.

If this movie fails, Bloodborne is DONE. There will never be a Bloodborne 2, and unless it's already in the works, there probably won't even be a remaster. (For at least quite some time.)
But did you know that Bloodborne has some themes of motherhood, which means it bows down to every ultra feminist Western thought??!

If you don’t get that this game agrees with me and hates nazis, I’m sure this movie will make it obvious.

( -sigh- shoot me)

Oh god no! And why that dumb, woke, screeching fucker Jacksepticeye??
 
Maybe I’m dumb, but isn’t one of the core aspects of the story in FromSoft games that it is ambiguous and you’re supposed to piece it together yourself as you play and explore the world?

Making a movie out of a FromSoft game seems like the genuinely worst idea you could have for an adaptation since you would by necessity have to answer a lot of questions intentionally left open to interpretation in order to create any coherent narrative out of if.

And to top it off, Bloodborne probably has the least penetrable lore and story out of all the games. So why make specifically a Bloodborne movie? Why not something like Demon’s Souls which is far more straight forward, much easier to parse and much more build around a linear progression of events.

How the hell are you gonna make a coherent, satisfying narrative with characters going through arcs out of frickin Bloodborne?

This is such a bad idea I’m genuinely shocked someone would throw money at it. I predict this will be in development hell forever as the realities of trying to adapt the source material into a narrative dawns on the film makers and the wheels start coming off.

One final thought: This feels to me like Sony trying to jump on the current trend of video game movie adaptations and make big bucks like Minecraft and Mario did. But even if they get this thing made, there’s no way in hell it would get a E-rating or whatever the fuck movies have.

no, the core aspect of almost all their games is that the world doesn't presume exposition, almost all of their games stories are not vague, and usually you will find a character who will exposition a ton at you, aka the god damn Snake from DS1, nothing is vague about the plot of Bloodborne, what's vague is the LORE of Bloodborne, which doesn't really mean the same thing, we know exactly the story of the PC in Bloodborne, we know very little of the Outer Gods.

same for Sekiro, we know all we need to know about Sekiro, the story of the game, the meaning of the game.. we have a few questions but they are more background questions, Elden Ring is even less so, we know basically everything you could want to know other than something about Outer gods again.

If anything that's exactly why a studio would choose a Fromsoft game. We KNOW what the story is. However, the majority of the audience doesn't and can only care so much. What's left to interpretation is everything else. Which is right up a studio's alley because it means they can make whatever fucking changes they want. This is why I say Jack is probably the worst person for this job. Things ARE left up to interpretation meaning it's very easy to convince someone like Jack to cave on major things that should not be changed.

For Sony, they want a monetizable cash cow and this is a beta run.

I'm really tired of Sony. I don't want to know how this movie goes and I think I'd rather FS never make a console exclusive again. The only hope for this movie is that the Irish faggot leans on Markiplier and his experience making Iron Lung (and having not seen Iron Lung I can't even say if it's actually good or if that's just hearsay).

Is Demons Souls actually worth going through or basically a relic at this point? I'm almost done with Bloodborne and looking for something else to play.

I did give DeS a go a few years ago but RPCS3 crashed and corrupted my saves. I lost about 10 hours of progress and was so salty I've not touched RPCS3 since because I don't trust it not to shit the bed.

I've also downloaded Lies of P and Wuchang as alternatives.

That's actually another massive can of worms. Markiplier doesn't HAVE any experience making Iron Lung. Iron Lung was a completely self-made movie. Markiplier did almost everything on his own. And it shows. Iron Lung was overall pretty mid, watchable, but far from perfect. When you factor the making of story though, it's actually a pretty remarkable accomplishment.

However, the problem with Iron Lung was everything surrounding it's release. Hollywood sent a very clear message. They do not want Youtubers in Hollywood. They want controllable people and financially independent people are not controllable. Markiplier had to fight tooth and nail to get Iron Lung released. They very much gate kept him. Jack is going to face a lot of similar issues, but they learned from last time. Notice he's a producer, not a director, or a screenwriter, or a sole proprietor, a producer. They wanted him in a very nice controllable position.

Pay attention to the narrative spin being woven. The movie succeeds? Great. Jack was only a producer, producers don't DO anything. The movie fails? It's all Jack's fault and Youtubers should stay out of Hollywood.
 
I’m guessing they picked JackSepticEye of all people because of the success Markiplier’s Iron Lung had. After all, Jack’s a big name on youtube, so why not cash in on the trend of another youtuber-made movie? He also uploaded a Bloodborne LP a couple of years ago where he basically gushes over the game and lore start to finish, he’s a huge BB fan after all. Maybe that LP caught the eye of some Sony executive? Or maybe Jack reached out to Sony for some sort of BB collab? Who knows really.

Btw his BB LP isn’t half bad. He manages to get through the game pretty fast without dying a lot due to replaying it over and over throughout the years. It just baffles me seeing a relatively skillful playthrough from him when his regular output is him playing games badly while crying about his ADHD or anxiety or whatever bullshit ailment. It also cracked me up hearing him twist himself into a pretzel to be respectful of the bosses’ pronouns and choosing to refer to, say, Vicar Amelia as they/them. Yea, Jackaboy, better make sure you don’t misgender a foul deformed beast or it might get offended and gobble you up!

Sorry, I had to vent. I used to be a fan of JSE before he turned woke. These days I tune in every now and then to hate-watch him. The thought of this tranny-fellating turbofaggot potatonigger defiling my beloved BB is disgusting.

Edit: Added JackSepticEye’s announcement video

Just a heads up, lies of p is a lot more similar mechanically to sekiro than bloodborne, despite every faggottuber and news outlet claiming otherwise. I thought it was pretty good though. It's level design is lacking and I wish the character was a bit more mobile but for a first attempt it's a worthy offering.

No, it's not like Sekiro, it's actually an amalgamation of DS1, Bloodbourne and Sekiro.

For one the main gimmick isn't parrying, it's an even split on parrying, iframe dodging, blocking and evading (aka running) with a Bloodborne esq rally system on on blocked damage.

The game is heavily build and weapons focused unlike Sekiro where you the one katana, and it's also ability focused with the weapon abilities

It was billed by vapid posers as a "bloodborne like." It's not. Stop with this um ackshually bit you do in every thread, no one likes it.

I don't mind that, I actually really liked Sekiro, mechanically it's probably the best combat system out of any Souls game.

The ideal bloodborne movie would be just an adaptation of the hunter on one of his little hunts. It doesn't have to be anything that answers the lore or mythos of the game; just a self-contained movie focusing on a singular hunt. Something like the Old Hunters could be done in a 3 act structure.
 
I have a suspicion this movie is basically 'IP squatting' or whatever it's called, where Snoy needs to shit out a movie to keep their grip on Bloodborne as a property. As far as I know they aren't doing any-fuckin-thing else with the rights.

I also wonder if choosing this internet person to produce the movie is a publicity stunt to get something similar to Iron Lung type hype, but with Snoy holding the door to Hollywood open so it can get an easy, wide release.

I think Sony deep down really, really hates Bloodborne and by some extension Fromsoftware. Not just because they can't legally do a remake but because it doesn't mesh with all of their established and heavily promoted IP's. Bloodborne is not like Horizon or TLOU: God of War Edition. The sad thing is none of this has to be this way. Sony owns Demons Souls and Bloodborne, if they wanted to they could promote the mascots and aesthetics from both games to garner some goodwill and show they still care.

Fuck imagine if sony did something like Disney did back in the day with TriStar and Touchstone (I think?) where those 2 labels got used to publish darker and edgier movies that wouldn't fit within Disney's safe zone.

Imagine having different things for different audiences instead of forcing everything to be universally unappealing shitsmear.
