Yeah, I doubt they will go for any western publisher, but wouldn't be surprised if a publisher would sell one of its devs along with an IP. Similar to the Red Dead Revolver situation.

We already know that Sony was very interested in buying Leyou. In other words, there is no point in saying that they do not want to acquire. What is clear is that they are not going to buy something hastily. Also, I could see Microsoft buying more independent studios but nothing like Bethesda. There are many regulations that come into play in these types of purchases. We also have to see if Bethesda games will be multiplatform, which at the moment does not seem to be very clear.
In Japan, yes. Monster Hunter Rise and Monser Hunter Stories aren't.
Switch exclusive.
There is a monster hunter game coming out on switch .
MHW is exclusive but if they own Capcom the IP it's self would only be on PS in any form .
But is that what we want? Sony acquiring Capcom just to deny MH spinoffs on Switch?
It's the same over and over again. I wouldn't be surprised if it's the biggest generation for PS.
Like, there is a lot of 3rd party games that does the job of you like indies/j-rpgs and what not.
It is difficult to know this with certainty because that purchase was not being made by SIE. Sony Corp could have bought the entire conglomerate and left them multiplatform, as already happens with some games published by Sony Music.
I did too so I could have it digital on my PS5 at this point. But don't count on it, I think we'll have to pay up again when the time comes, which I know I will lol.
I don't think that's the point why people want these acquisitions ;)
Did it not come out that Rise is a temp exclusive? Capcom was apparently paid 2 million by Nintendo for 1 year exclusivity? Not sure if I am confusing it with another game.
I'm sure you do.
Everything's a doomsday scenario. Come up for air people.
Japan pub would make sense, since the issue with Sony Japan, is their games don't sell well in Japan, let alone the west. If you can't even nail getting sales in Japan, something is wrong. A Japan pub like Capcom would have great sales everywhere.
It's not ideal but if xbox really do make all the bethesda titles exclusive to that platform and end up buying any more multiplatform IPs, then I'll probably just suck it up and pick up a series x in a few years, I know not everyone is in that position and some will refuse out of principle too but nothing good seems to be coming from Xbox anytime soon, both first party and bethesda. If the new Fable, Indiana Jones, Elder Scrolls 6(?), Avowed etc aren't coming out till 2023/2024 then I'll start to consider rebuilding my pc or picking up a series X, for now I'm just gonna enjoy my new ps5 and all the ps4 titles I've missed and all the great games we're meant to be getting this year
I owned an xbox one and no other platform for years without any good exclusives other than Halo ports and Sunset Overdrive, both of which can now be played on a PC

I mean it not what i want but we talking the business aspect of it all .
With companies getting buy up some fans will get fuck over no matter what .

Tell me about it. I've been gone for like a month living life and actually playing games, I come back and it's like I never left.
This is not an enthusiasts site... it's for obsessive manic depressives.
Funny thing is Sony western games now sell more in Japan than there Japanese game and even some of the other Japanese pubs .
TLOU , UC , HZD and GOW do 200k and Spidey and GOT did 400k plus.
As someone who is excited for Hitman 3 - I hope IOI will do 007 justice
I guess you're a big fan of games that don't play well. It makes sense why you don't like TLOU2 :D
What a lot of people seem to forget is that Sony also makes a lot of second-party games. A Kojipro or a Fromsoft exclusive, for example, could be perfectly added to the number of games developed by their studios during the Gen.
The only one I played was Nightfire on PS2, I think.
It was a blast in split screen.
I'd actually go with Everything or Nothing. Nightfire is great as well.
Replace God of War with Days Gone. GOW didn't really do well in Japan.
And Horizon Zero Dawn should be well over 400k (physical and digital) in Japan :)
Well I only like good games.
One is a masterpiece (GoldenEye). Put some respect behind the best FPS game on consoles ☝️
Has anyone here played the multiplayer mode in Small Soldiers on ps1?
I've never played 007 after ps1 but everything or nothing looks similar to tomorrow never dies
So much wasted potential.... 🥺
(I liked The Order tho.)
For the next OT, have that as the mascot on the first page.
I've had some great times with my cousins. Always liked playing as Gorgonyte scum.
Let's not think about The Order since we're never going to get a sequel 😭 Still waiting for DLC
Does anyone remember "Frontschweine" aka "Hogs of War" on PS1? 😀
I feel like a lot of people didn't give EA's Bond games a chance because they wanted so desperately for them to just be Goldeneye. Most of EA's Bond games were really good. Even Activision's Blood Stone was enjoyable, although we know that it was really rushed. Really the biggest misstep was Rogue Agent. That was just a bad idea altogether.
Yeah the EA 007 games were really good. I know people hold Goldeneye 64 in such high regard because it came out first, but honestly I think Nightfire beats it in almost every area.
I honestly have felt like abandoning this thread multiple times already, and I just joined this site in November. Everything is so reactionary and whenever there's a lull in ps news it gets filled with negative conjecture about the future. Gaming is supposed to be a fun hobby, but around here everything seems to center around who is "winning" and who is "losing," all the time, as if there can't be multiple paths to success within the industry.
When I read about the Indy game on other sites, all I thought was "neat," and then I came here and saw nothing but concern that it may only be for another system, despite not having seen a single second of game footage or even receiving a hint of what possible year it might come out. It's pretty tiring, to be honest. I want to save my stress for the attempted coup attempts to overthrow my country's government, not worrying that years from now another company might possibly match the output of the game system I currently own, haha.
Hey you! I missed you. Hope you've been well! 🤗
😢
I should message Juan about the possibility on getting it added to the OP billboard next OT 😄

given how much money they throw at them (Athia, Final Fantasy XVI exclusivity and probably the next FF7 Remake, Nier, FF-Spin Offs) why not xD
maybe they can save their western divisions
A loved GE back when it came out. But it was always going to be hard for any game following it because it represented firsts for so many people. Their first FPS, first 4 player multiplayer and it was an amazing licensed game at a time when most associated licensed games with being throwaway. We'd come a long ways from LJN. But I think even if you gave someone who never played GE or Nightfire both games that they'd come away feeling like Nightfire was the better game. Even if you were to give them a version of GE that fixes its performance issues (it's super rough, especially in multiplayer). As you said, it's just a better game in every way.
