Modder turns Bloodborne into fast-paced FPS in latest 'AI slop' armageddon

Using LLMs to mash up two games has been the latest trend in the video game modding community lately.

Modders have been cutting corners to mash together two games, regardless of whether the end result works or was even a great idea in the first place.

From adding Minecraft gameplay into GTA V or Dishonored in Skyrim, these mods have cropped up everywhere. At best, they're a mild curiosity, but at their worst, they're called "AI slop" by gamers.

The latest abomination to come from this trend sees Quake 3 Arena transposed into Bloodborne, with a demonstration shared by modder Kyosuke Yexil.

Yexil uploaded a nearly three-minute video onto YouTube demonstrating Quake's gameplay mashed up inside Bloodborne. Venturing through the Central Yharnam area, the clip shows them shooting at enemies using various weapons from Quake 3, complete with enemies taking damage and interacting with the player. Another video shows similar gameplay, but with a PS1 filter also layered over the screen for a bigger retro effect.

They're shown bunny-hopping around the map and killing enemies with ease. It's very silly, and completely ruins the atmosphere of Bloodborne. I'd also go as far as to say that it's not a great Quake experience, either.

Opinions on Bloodborne's new Quake mod are very mixed

Still, opinions on this mashup across social media are mixed. Some love it, some hate it, with a majority of the reactions coming from X (formerly Twitter).

"It's like drawing over the Mona Lisa with crayons," reads one comment.

"Is nothing sacred?" another negative reaction reads.

However, another user said that the mod was "dope", comparing it to other boomer shooter games available on Steam. Other users have expressed their interest in downloading the mod for themselves, though right now it remains unavailable for public download.

Looking at Yexil's other videos on their YouTube channel, you can find other game mashups and mods they've created. Bloodborne Isometric is a plugin for bbport that they've created, which adds an isometric view to the game, making the game feel more akin to a dungeon crawler or CRPG than an action RPG. Another one adds Elden Ring movement into the game, allowing the player to jump at will and throw items freely.

These mods were created for bbport, an unofficial PC port of the game that was developed as a recompiled application following the strides made in emulating the PS4 on PC. ShadPS4 can play Bloodborne at 60fps and 4K resolutions on many modern PCs, and bbport was then created as a result of this to run as a native port on less powerful hardware.

Now, folks are creating mods for these games due to how easy it is. Some of these mods use AI-generated or AI-assisted code brought over from agents like Claude, with some being called "AI slop" due to how buggy or unfinished they feel.
