I can answer that actually
Other companies probably didn't know because Deathloop and Ghostwire are still timed PS5 exclusives (Microsoft are honouring those deals) and Sony was apparently trying to moneyhat Starfield.
During the PS5 event last week, I mentioned to my Brother during the Deathloop segment, could you image the reaction if Sony manage to get Starfield as a timed console exclusive? That would certainly be something especially now.
Nope. That's because:
Pour one out for the staff at Tango Game works, because no one from their home country is gonna buy their game's after Ghostwire Tokyo.
Actually speaking, PC gaming is becoming more popular in Japan nowadays; so I can definitely see Microsoft's Xbox/PC model working pretty well in this case.
There's also the fact that Grotesque Steve was a thing and made basically both sides miserable.
I agree, it is very difficult to surpass the worst of the
v. Steve debates. As a Steve fan, both sides were atrocious.
v. Steve. I will say v. Steve was the worst war in Ultimate speculation.4chan is a disease to society...
Basically it all boil down to zoomers who knew how to make 3D models and discovered /v/ to unleash that hell on the Smash fandom.
Lmao that's like saying Isaac's hard to discuss because of earthquake conspiracy theorists
Not too long ago I heard a rumor about Sony trying to purchase Metal Gear and Castlevania from Konami. That makes me worried for the franchises and Snake, Simon, and Richter most likely never returning to Smash if that is true.
Yes, it may get toxic, but did you see how atrocious
v. Steve was? Both sides got extremely toxic.
Killer Instinct needs to come (again) first though.
Those rumours were said to be bull**** by pretty much everyone and the source of said rumours is known to be baseless clickbait iirc
Are we sure that's not recent? Cause aside from Bethesda, I saw Konami trending as well. And unsurprisingly, it was more people speculating or wanting Sony or Microsoft to buy a company like Capcom or Konami.
It was around a couple of months ago when I heard that rumor.
I've already seen people speculating that Nintendo could buy Koei Tecmo to counter this move. Dear god, I am worried about the implications that MS just unleashed on the industry with this purchase.
I think those people are just absolute babies who haven't seen this **** happen or didn't care about the stuff it's happened to in the entertainment industry
They also fail to do basic research for a kinda move like this to happen, its more then possible that Sony and Nintendo can't even afford to counter this move without taking on a bunch of debt or even a huge a loss. MS bought Bethesda for 7 billion dollars, meanwhile entirety of Sony's operating profits for last year was 8 billion dollars. MS is a 1.5 trillion dollar company while Sony is 100 Million and Nintendo 88 million. Not to mention Bethesda was one of the few major publishers to be privately owned and not on the stockmarket for investors to buy stocks, unlike most game publishers.
KI's done pretty well - it's still played by its hardcore, and was going to be one of the games featured in EVO Online 2020 due to its netplay being good (before that was canned). So I could definetely see a sequel on the Series X.
Looks at EA's long history, including some AAA publishers at the time they were bought.
The latter makes up the majority of them I'd wager - or those who see Megacorp X handling Intellectual Property Y as worth it regardless of any long term effects. I'd also wager that that's one of the main reasons why some want Konami bought out wholesale. "Imagine what Sony themselves could do with MGS / Castlevania!" (while forgetting / ignoring the fact that the Spider-Man movies have generally had a kinda wonky time under the last 10 years of Sony ownership, for example).
Excuse me, but is the "million" for both Sony and Nintendo a typo and you meant "Billion"?
Nintendo bought Monolith Soft and nobody bats an eye
Animegamingnerd
losers there mind
Yup all it really takes in fact is just a slight change in executive leadership in MS that decides to bring us back to the 360 era when it comes to MS relationship with Nintendo. Nintendo fans shouldn't being taking this news as good news, its more then possible this relationship between both Nintendo and MS won't lost forever.
That is a bit different there since Monolithsoft wasn't a publisher in fact and the game's they did make usually flopped prior to the acquisition. But I am not fond of a major publisher buying another major publisher especially one of said major publishers is a first party. I hate to see the gaming industry become like the movie where are only 5 or 6 major companies at most.Nintendo bought Monolith Soft and nobody bats an eye
Nintendo thinking about buying Koei Tecmo and
Pretty sure Nintendo and Sony are worth billions. Sony in sales are worth 70 billion. Nintendo is around 37 billion. Microsoft is worth more then them though.
Exactly. Nintendo and Microsoft will always be competitors. They may have respect for each other, but once there is a conflict of interests, this new "relationship" will go out the window. The only reason the two companies are collaborating so much recently is because it's good PR and makes audiences intrigued. Two rivals don't usually work together, so it's like a spectacle until that affect wears off.
Microsoft could have easily broken off the PS5 exclusivity deals but they didn't. They don't really care too much, good PR isn't a long-lasting idea either
Not to mention MS is only publishing the indie games they own, (even they didn't own the IP rights to Cuphead). None of their major AAA exclusives have to Switch, closest was The Outer World's and Hellblade, but contracts were already in place for that port by the time the acquisition happened .
I am not sure if that is the case of just willing to do so, rather then a case of it being they aren't legally allow to without Sony's approval. I am sure MS would want to have Deathloop and Ghostwire on Series X in time for both game's release espically since that would be a better PR move then keeping them PS5 exclusive, but legally can't as right now.
crap meant to write billions, that is what I get for only getting 4 hours of sleep due to writing a cover letter and playing Among Us until 3:30 last night.
Nintendo essentially saved them from Namco lmao
why do you keep putting yourself down like thatSpeaking of babies, I am a huge baby in here.
Why do people want already huge corporations to be larger? Monopolies are dangerous, people.
I think she might just be talking about how young she is in relation to everyone else here.
Gwen speaks facts. Too bad I am blocked by her.
I am older than some people in here, lol. Seventeen isn't that young.
