YouTube’s ‘GAMESMARK’ has shared a video, showcasing Bloodborne running on PC via the latest version of shadPS4. Version 0.4.1 seems to have fixed the audio issues that the game had. And, as you will see, the game looks almost as good as the PS4 version.
To capture this gameplay footage, GAMESMARK used an AMD Ryzen 5 7600X with 32GB of DDR5 RAM and an NVIDIA RTX 4070. At 4K, this GPU seems to be able to run the game with framerates between 70FPS and 110FPS. Most of the time, the framerate is around 80-90FPS. However, there are scenes in which the RTX 4070 can push over 100FPS.
I’ve also included a video from an older version of this PS4 emulator. This second video showcases the game running at 4K on an NVIDIA RTX 4090. From what I could see, the minimum framerate on the RTX 4090 at 4K is 100FPS. For the most part, the game runs with 120-130FPS on NVIDIA’s most powerful GPU.
Keep also in mind that we’re talking about a game running on PC via a WIP PS4 emulator. This is truly incredible. Yes, the NVIDIA RTX 4090 is a beast. However, I wasn’t expecting to see Bloodborne running this well, even on that GPU.
According to reports, emulation is still not perfect. As such, you will encounter some visual glitches and issues. Still, the game appears to be fully playable. And yes, you can play it from start to finish.
I still don’t know why Sony has not remastered this game for PS5 and PC. There was a rumor suggesting that Sony may remake it for the PS6. You know, like they did with Demon’s Souls. Still, there is a huge PC crowd right now that would make them a lot of money. A lot of PC gamers would love to get a native PC version. So yeah, I don’t know what Sony has been smoking.
And you know what’s even more crazy? There are already two HD Texture Packs that you can download and use with shadPS4. The first pack overhauls numerous textures, whereas the second one focuses on armors.
Before closing, V0.4.1 is not available on the shadPS4 website. My guess is that this is a nightly build. So, right now, there is no ETA on when these Bloodborne fixes will find their way to the public version.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

Is it now playable without issues?
No, playable from beginning to end but with graphic issues here and there. It needs more time in the oven, but it's impressive anyway, it's only been like 6 months since we started getting news from this emulator.
Your brain doesn't operate without issues.
Eat a bag of dïcks, Soyny!
sony indeed did consume a large container filled to the brim of male reproductive system by not releasing this one.
Quite!
Did I hear incredible ? Well, infact it is. Still, I'm curious how the emulator performs on a budget hardware. I wanna see it making fool of that rpcs3 which after thousands of dollars of donations still can't run games decently and only excuse its devs give is "uPgrAde Ur cPu"… tf I give a damn!
You honestly can't compare those two projects, because RPCS3 is another league of complexity.
For example, more demanding PS3 games make use of the Cell processor for additional graphics rendering tasks because of how underwhelming NVIDIA's RSX really was compared to the Xbox 360's Xenos by ATi.
Emulating such cases is way more complex than any PS4 game, because the console is pretty much an (almost) standard AMD APU.

Actually it plays rather good. I'm using 10 year old CPU (intel 4690) and 7 year old GPU (GTX 1080TI) and I breeze through the game with 30 FPS for most of the time. The worst I can expect is 2-3 crashes per playthrough.
Main remaining issues are some missing effects like fog and fire, although there are some mods taking care of this to an extent.
So I'm rather happy with the emulator even at its current state.
Stupid bald man.

Queer
"I wanna see it making fool of that rpcs3"
Dude, it's a different emulator, different machine, different games, they're not even comparable, when Xenia was able to get more FPS on RDR1 people thought the same as you but here we are 4 years later and Xenia is still incredibly barebones, inaccurate, buggy and has sh*t compatibility.
You were even at a point where you compared it to PCSX2 so you have to know for example that RPCS3 has more accuracy and less bugs when emulating GoW1 and 2 compared to PCSX2, not saying that RPCS3 is better, i'm just saying that you're wrongfully underestimating it.
Yeah, I know. It's just that I'm so happy playing RDR on pc right now, which I was trying on the emulator for almost decade but ultimately decided to wait for pc version in future. So I was just pulling the leg there. Nothing too serious about it. Hehaah cheers!
okay I was wrong about end of September, and End of October. I think end of Year for sure!

Where does it say it's running at 4K on either video?
Anyone know how it's running on AMD cards? Bad I assume
I haven't paid much attention to consoles since 360 for gta4 days so I missed this game. Why is it considered so great? Looks like another dark souls imo
It's not running at 4K.
The video is encoded in 4K.
The game is running at 1080p.
A 4090 currently gets 40 fps in 4K in the emulator. 7900XT gets near double that due to lack of optimizations and the GPU architecture being similar.
John, please upgrade your articulation. This is feeling extremely boring and lifeless with all those exact same wording & sentences. If you can give us an audio tape, I think it would be even better.
that's likely because of AI chatgpt etc "writing" these articles mostly.
