Guitarborne Video Showcases ‘Bloodborne’ Beaten With Rock Band Guitar Controller


“Punishing” is one of many adjectives used to describe Bloodborne. The game for Sony’s PlayStation 4 has a reputation for being unyielding in its quest to demand perfection from players who dare to to enter the dark streets of Yharnam. For Benjamin “Bearzly” Gwin, this was not enough of a challenge, apparently, as he took it upon himself to shred the game from beginning to end with a Rock Band guitar controller.

Gwin used his Xbox 360 Rock Band 1 guitar controller on a PlayStation 4 using the “Titan One” interface to remap the controls. The guitar controller does have a traditional d-pad to navigate up, down, left and right. However, Gwin elected to use a much more interesting control layout, which is pictured to the left.

The impressive part of the mapping was the use of Rock Band 1 guitar controller’s tilt feature for movement on the left stick. The fret buttons, effects switch, and strum bar were implemented, as well to make a head scratching layout, but one that worked well for “Bearzly” as he sailed through the “Shadows of Yharnam” fight.

On the YouTube video above, he stated in the description, “There are a couple issues with PS4 support but overall I was very impressed with it!”

A look at Gwin’s Twitch channel will show that this is not his first session with the guitar controller and a From Software game. The guitar controller master did the same to beat Dark Souls as well. You can see Gwin beat the entirety of Bloodborne with his Rock Band controller on his Twitch channel archive.

Bloodborne was the second best selling game in March according to the Inquisitr‘s report on the NPD numbers for that month, despite being an exclusive to Sony’s PlayStation 4 console. It was beaten out by Battlefield: Hardline, which released on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.
