Are you forgetting when Knack 2 was free on PSN because of a glitch lol
I don't love the idea of platform holders buying big publishers. It was a good move by Microsoft, but that consolidation is potentially bad for the industry and game diversity.
I'm also not sure that buying up studios is a great idea for Sony, which so far has been laser focused on building quality IP and slowly developing its own stable of studios.
Who would they even buy? Take Two....that's a lot of cash even if it was on offer. Capcom? Square? Bandai Namco? From Soft?
What's the end goal other than satisfying fans? They haven't got enough money to outspend Microsoft so they need to outwit them.

People seems to don't understand that. Partner, second party and timed exclusives are dumb and wasted money on this new market.
They need to own studios and ips because in 2-3 years MS will have 23(or even more if they buy more) studios delivering games kind of a game every month.
Sony will have a hard time if Ms delivery in 1 year es, starfield, forza horizon, fable, obsidian new game, Hellblade 2, new gears and that can happen in 22 or 23.
They will need more studios and more games in one year. Ps4 model after 2015 will not work(2-3 big games per year).
They are not doomed but it will be hard to sell 100+ million with this strategy.
I missed that one :( To this date the only knack game I've played is the mobile game
Capcom this gen has done a fantastic job, especially in regards to the Resident Evil series. Then you have MHW which iirc is the best selling game in the franchise. Then other releases as well. Looking forward to seeing Capcoms output next gen.
Same for Horizon Zero Dawn. I wonder if they'll do something similar to Spider-Man Miles Morales Ultimate Edition which contains the base game. Imagine a Horizon Forbidden West Ultimate Edition with HZD included and improvements on the base game.
I wish Sony would give us something to talk about, because I'm already tired of talking about Zenimax and how Sony needs to start buying shit too, because consolidating is good as long as your console of choice does it.
Anyway, in no particular order, things I'd like to hear about in the coming days:
- PS5 UI, obviously
- Future plans for PS Now and PS+: once you have a PS5, will they give you 2 PS4 + 2 PS5 games monthly? one of each? none because now there's PS+ Collection? What about PS Now? will they finally offer a subscription that encompasses both PSN and PS+ similar to Game Pass Ultimate?
- Upgrades and enhancements to PS4 first party games: Are they going to be free? will they call them "remasters" and try to make us pay twice for the same game?
- More PS5 gameplay of launch titles, pls
- Some update on whatever that new studio in San Diego is working on (Possibly Uncharted?)
- A teardown of PS5 so we can see that new cooling system
- I'm holding out hope that there's some surprise game announcement to come before launch. It doesn't have to be Silent Hill necessarily, but it would be cool.
- Although I've already said that I would prefer that Sony invested in creating their own studios and develop their own IPs in-house, I think Dontnod would be an interesting addition to SWS. Vampyr showed a lot of promise, if flawed, for those who are worried about XBox cornering the rpg market. Are they owned by Focus, or they just publish the games?
Square is one of those purchases that sounds good until you stop to actually think about it. Microsoft goes from getting 30% of Square's games to 0%? I guess it would hurt Nintendo a lot. Don't buy the cow when you can get the milk for free.
Even the western studios would be a little susp. Sony would be making Uncharted alongside Tomb Raider. If they make any more acquisitions it'll probably be smaller studios that they already work with. I bet the only reason they bought Insomniac was to prevent Microsoft from robbing them of the Spider-Man team.

I've made my peace with the whole Bethesda thing. It sucks I likely won't be able to play Elder Scrolls 6 or the next single player Fallout game on my PS5, as those are some of my favorite franchises and I prefer playing them on a console, in my living room, on the best and biggest screen in my house. Not being able to play Starfield on it will also suck. However, I've been planning to build a new gaming PC some time in the future for a while now, so I guess I'll just have to haul it into my living room when the time comes.
Not gonna lie, for a split second this almost made me want to go with the Series X over PS5. That is how much I love Bethesda's games. However I'm too invested in the Sony ecosystem and all of my friends are planning to get a PS5. Luckily most of these games are years from release, so that gives me plenty of time to build a new PC.

Sony don't need a to get a huge publisher I rather they get studios that would diversify they're output. Like an FPS, a non sim type Racer, RPG etc.
They should also revive more old IPs. Personally I would also like to see Sony push Astrobot as they're big mascot with multiple full fledged games.

Sony's covered with FPS if they successfully revive Resistance & Killzone like they did with God of War. I'd love to see Killzone brought back as a kind of tactical shooter more in line with the select-a-character/party mechanic in the first game.
Gimme back Warhawk & wipEout too. That's my kinda Sony diversification.

Or if they want a counter to Dishonored, Killzone Mercenary 2 with bigger levels and a similar stealth design to Dishonored.
one thing that really irks me is that they don't invest in PlayStation , they instead chose to strengthen other departments using $$ mainly made by PlayStation
MS has to prove they can get games without much problems and manage there studios good .
I don't think people know how hard that is to do if they think MS just going to kicking out content year after year easy .
Hell there big IP game was in dev for 5 plus years and have problems .
That not really true .
Other parts of Sony have been making money for years aside form PS .
WB Games is about the only publisher I'd really miss and even then I'm not really all that interested in Gotham Knights or Suicide Squad at this point. I'll probably be all over NetherRealm's next project though.
I also realized that Assassin's Creed is the only Ubi franchise I'm really interested in.

i wonder if people said the same thing before MS spend 7.5 billion to buy Bethesda.
You buy the cow if you're worried your rival farmer is going to swoop in and buy the cow & steal the udder out of your mouth lol
Microsoft bought Bethesda and everybody's losing their minds.
Microsoft is investing a ton of money to acquire talent. Sony is doing nothing
Microsoft has bought Bethesda. It apparently means Sony is going bankrupt.
Correction, Sony has announced nothing beyond already having announced that they are investing money to expand, build and acquire studios. No actual announcements yet does not mean nothing is being done.
I'm honestly rooting for you, a know a lot of people sometimes nag at you for being "negative" all the time but I know it's genuine and things are difficult for you so I'm always rooting for you and crossing my fingers that games/things in general will excite you and help lift you spirits soon enough.
Yeah, seems like going forward, due to both consoles having 2 skus, one digital and one physical, collectors editions might become a bit more rare due to companies not wanting to make multiple versions for each console. I could see a rise in collectors editions without games included as we saw a few of them this gen but it seems like at least for Sony/MS there'll be less.
Since I don't really follow Sony's broader operations outside of PlayStation, can you elaborate on those billions they invested in the music, film, etc. divisions please?
Like what were they pumping that money into for those divisions?
i mean doin' nothing except selling out PS5 worldwide and keep cheerishing it's amazing studios which all are hard at work on their Ps5 games?
sure they must be fooling around their yatchs or something.
see this is what i mean. The biggest fucking L i've ever seen.
Layden was CEO of SIE America from 2014 to 2018 and then was head of WWS until he left end of Sept 2019
He was in charge, greenlighted and supported probably every projects from PlayStation North America studios that began from 2013 onward (Spider-Man, Ghost, TLOU Part II, God of War, etc...) and he is the one who managed to get Insomniac as PlayStation Studios
If PlayStation had/will have an incredible 2020 and a stellar 2021, it's probably thanks to his decisions about projects like God of War and now God of War 2 can exist, he probably agreed when Guerrilla wanted to expand to 2 teams with 400 developers overall, he probably greenlighted Miles Morales as a PS5 launch game, same for Ghost, TLOU Part II and Dreams
(and when I meant "supported", I meant providing enough resources to these studios, the time and the budget to fulfill their vision)
Every projects that began before Sept 2019 and will shine on PS5, that's partly thanks to him
And no Sony has not a ton of goodwill, they have of course but they deserved a lot more considering COVID and the output they have prepared for launch and first year.
And of course, I'm talking about ERA, but what I see on social media.
The problem is media don't talk about Sony, their incredible launch line up and their first year because it would be too much Sony's praise for them
I can't imagine the headlines if Sony would have delayed Miles/Demon's Souls to have nothing for launch.
At least Bethesda make sense , they have some well know and big IP.
Sega Sammy is over 3 billion without any big IP and big part of there business have nothing to do with games and they into gambling .
"Sony is doing nothing" is blatantly false but alright I won't argue the point anymore with y'all doomsayers
* Continuing to nurture and develop Industry leading worldwide studios creating some of the worlds top selling and critically acclaimed games.
Like I said just ignore this shit or you going to want to leave this forum trust me.
what makes you think that? this games comes after starfield. and starfield isnt even on the horizon. i would guess ESO is 2025 earliest?
if msft is truely goping for netflix gaming, they wont thakt exclusive i guess.
