Welcome to the World of 60fps Emulation
If you’ve ever dipped your toes into the murky waters of gaming emulation, you know the thrill of squeezing a little more juice from your favorite titles. Bloodborne, the gothic masterpiece from FromSoftware, is no exception. With some crafty tinkering, players can unlock that glorious 60 frames per second (fps) via the SHADPS4 emulator on PC. Yes, you can finally experience all the joy of dodging enemies at speeds that don’t feel like you’re caught in molasses!
McDonald’s 60fps Hack vs. Sony’s DMCA Dilemma
But hold onto your controllers, folks! McDonald, the modern-day hero, revealed on Bluesky that his glorious 60fps hack has been served a DMCA takedown notice by none other than Sony. That’s right, the big S is flexing its legal muscles, attempting to intimidate the modding and emulation community with an iron fist. “On February 21st, 2021, I created and released a patch for Bloodborne which makes the game run at 60fps,” McDonald lamented. Alas, it seems that not even the most daring of modders are safe from Sony’s heavy hand.
What This Means for the Gaming Community
Despite the takedown drama, the community remains unshaken. Those who have tasted the sweet nectar of 60fps are unlikely to forget it. While Sony might be swinging their DMCA sword, the ability to modify things like frame rates might well be ingrained in the spirit of gaming. For every patch that gets taken down, more will emerge from the shadows—after all, gaming is as much about community as it is about the game itself. So, who’s ready to dive into the emulated depths to reclaim the 60fps glory?
