After seeing how they handled Demon's Souls, would you rather have a Bloodborne Remaster or a remake by Bluepoint?

Full-on remake. If Demon's Souls is how a generation starts, I can only imagine how good a Bloodborne remake would look in ~3 years.
No disrespect for Bluepoint, but why would anyone want a Bloodborne 2 that isn't developed by From?
You don't even need a full remake. Bumps to resolution, framerate, and removal of CA would probably satisfy everybody. From what I've read the game speed is tied to framerate. Not sure if that's an easy fix, but surely it's easier than a full ass remake yeah?
I personally wouldn't care if a full remake happened. I haven't played DeS remake, but aside from Maneater's face, everything looks better. But a remaster would be super safe and easier (I'm guessing).

Remaster would be fine. I'd be OK with a remake if it doesn't involve them drastically altering designs like they did with Demon's Souls.
I recently saw the Retry for Sekiro by RKG and the series highlighted what an absolutely complicated web of lore and narrative constituted the fabric of its world. From the plain to the obscure (overheard) dialogs to the objects within a level and the level designs themselves all work so unbelievably harmoniously to convey a thematically consistent structure is simply astounding.
While I have not finished BB or DS3, neither Des, nor DS1 nor DS2's world building comprises of this many story, character, level design et al threads that all contribute towards aforementioned consistency. It is as if Miyazaki and his narrative team have reached the zenith in how to tell a complex story with multi-tiered objectives that are often obscured to reach different endings without the trapesing into the real of story driven WRPGs with myriad dialog trees.
So, all that said, I honestly do not know if BP are prepared to go down that rabbit hole to make a game that is expansive yet esoteric, extremely ambitious- scope-wise yet seemingly simple on the surface, crafting an entire world of organically weaving myriad characters from different times and making them intermingle yet letting player skip over many of them.
Bloodborne doesn't need a remake. It's playable on all platforms going forward conceivably, it's not that old, and just needs a fresh coat of paint.
I don't want anything from Bluepoint. My interests lie solely in Fromsoftware's output, their games are distinct entities on every level so remasters will more than suffice. They have never been technically robust from the beginning, a big part of the draw for me has always been the insular aesthetic and art direction achieved, there's nothing else like it.
Remaster would be fine, it doesn't need the DeS treatment. Fix the frame pacing and make it 4K/60 and we're gravy.
It's the kind of thing that you really need to build to. From did not go from Demon's to Bloodborne overnight, it took them several games of learning and improving (and learning from their failures) to produce BB.
It would be better if Bluepoint can cut their teeth on an entirely new IP unique to them so they can find a voice and a design sensibility entirely their own vs. trying to photocopy Miyazaki's without any of the ground work having already been done for them in advance.
I want to see what they can do when unshackled to anyone else's design documents.
Bloodborne still looks really good to me. I think it is safe to say Bluepoint have proven themselves in handling a Souls game and doing it full justice, so why not have them be the studio to do a Bloodborne sequel?
It doesn't need a remake yet.
Other than setting the res and FPS higher, they just need to tweak some of the .CFG for things like shadow res, draw distance, particle count, etc. They could also add more dynamic lights, and upgrade any textures or models that seem to be noticeably lower quality than the rest.

If they can do it fast within 6 months, a simple remaster porting the game to latest version of fromsoftware engine with hdr and TAA, just up the resolution, frame rate, fix the LOD and use A. I upscaling for the texture to keep everything faithful. If a remaster take more than a year then they might as well do a full remake.
Remaster would be cheaper, quicker, and I feel just as good. Bluepoint likes to try and remain faithful to the original, and there's not much more that this new generation could do graphically that would warrant a remake. Just give me 4K, 60fps, HDR, and some touch-ups to the textures.
That, BB still looks great, better resolution and AA + what you said and it'll be perfect.
But he's right, though. "Aberration" is a very mild word to describe that horrendous effect in BB.
Would happily have a remake... in 10 years.
There's no need to remake Bloodborne anytime soon. If they're insistent on releasing it again already then a remaster would be fine.
But i'd sooner they leave it a good amount of time and then remake it down the line when we're another console away from the original. Feels too soon.

Neither?
Like Jesus fuck, if it's gonna be a remake at least let it be ten years old. The fuck? Why can't you just play the game, that's so easily accessible, and still has the online running?

Giving someone else's work a new coat of paint and technical polish does not prove they can craft their own lore to build off that work. Hell, it doesn't even mean they can design levels or enemies. They've proven they can code circles around FromSoft. But I mean, so can plenty of other studios.
Just release the damned 60fps patch, a hobbyist already wrote it and it runs 60fps on PS4 Pro ffs.
Remaster, but only if they keep thicc CA. That shit is a must for an inviolate Bloodborne experience. Removing CA would destroy the pristine art direction. CA haters lack insight!
This is true but given the silence on it getting a patch I'm really suspicious that it's going to get a "Remaster" re-release.
Remaster. The game would look fine enough with better image quality and a smooth framerate. A full remake feels excessive. It really should just be a patch.
But they have the experience now. If there ever was to be a Bloodborne 2 it would have to be a studio other than FromSoftware anyway, and I think Bluepoint would be the best studio for the job.
