It is the end, It's the end of Microsofts attempts to buy Activision which has gone on long enough.
No need to read anything more into my comment, only a fool thinks consolidation is good for the industry. Microsoft are looking to monopolize video game software because they failed miserably at hardware. They'll aim to control the majority of big game content for their games pass brand and cloud streaming.
In another 10 years they'll try to gobble up ea
Good, hopefully they settle up quickly with the UK regulator and everyone can move in from this boring acquisition...until Sony predictably retaliate with a Japanese publisher and the fan wars start again
Article reads like it's been written by a bitter Xbox fan which is intriguing given This is a PlayStation site.
Regardless I think Sony are just waiting for Microsoft to close the Activision deal which they will eventually.
Them they'll snap up square but keep them somewhat separate to PlayStation so they can still release switch games
Did no one see phantom blade? Looked extraordinary - for the babies that care for getting "wins" over Microsoft it's also playstation console exclusive.
Dragons dogma also looked Great
It's odd how if it's not exclusive then it's disregarded
As usual all the hypocrisy rises to the top in these situations. Oh what a great game, oh what a great developer etc etc But did any of you even buy concrete genie? Or did you just ignore it till it was free because you didn't think it was worth paying for
The sly threats to the UK about job growth and reassessing their business there are not a great look for Microsoft and Activision. Will they say the same if and when it's blocked in the states?
Just take the L and use the money to create great new studios or aquire smaller devs and nurture them
It's taken 3 generations of trying to play fair but now Microsoft back to slowly revealing their true nature. Huge corporate buy outs Buying off government officials left right and center to get their gaming monopoly on track to match the PC monopoly .
Yep you did miss the point. The point is Microsoft throughout this whole process have been trying to paint themselves as the plucky good guy who doesn't do exclusives yet they are the worse by far. Sony nor Nintendo have ever bought a publisher let alone 2 as far as I'm aware and put an exclusivity wall up behind a huge catalogues of multiplatform titles. The good guy spin they put out is cringe.
Fair enough Phil, but who will save PS4 and ps5 only owners from the exclusive Xbox perks such as never being able to play another new entry for:
Wolfenstein
Doom
Fallout
Evil within
Elder scrolls
Tony hawk
Spryo
Crash
Dishonored
Hellblade
Well you just answered your own question haven't you , it's not just one game but every cod game ever released all in one place. And really how many people pay that much for GP
I will be intrigued by Sony's reaction to this once it's done. As the PlayStation brand will have lost significant value with all Activision blizzard games becoming Xbox exclusive bar cod which will be "free" on GP. While $70 on PlayStation. I'm fairly certain they'll try and claw back some minor percentage to keep the PlayStation brand competitive in the face of the huge swing in COD players migrating to GP by taking something major away from the Xbox brand within their purchasing power. Capcom , maybe fromsoft which they already have made nibbles at
Not sure what your crying about to be honest. The Original point stands,neither Abby or Ellie's story conclude on a hateful note. That's just plain fact. sorry if that upsets you
Agreed its a hard thing to do if serious money isn't spent, it should be almost avatar like In it's scope . A prequel about Dr sobak and ted farro would be easier. But maybe Netflix will pay up, they got the money tbh. Stranger things season 4 is the 2nd most expensive TV show made , more then game of thrones
The moment the Microsoft deal is cleared which it will be once enough palms are greased Sony will take over Square and I'd bet steak dinners there's another big Japanese pub they'll take also to try and offset the huge share price damage it will cause , thinking likely fromsoft
Only a fool would trust and believe Microsoft to keep one of the world's biggest gaming ip on a console. It's why Sony been so aggressively against the acquisition as once it's Xbox exclusive the FPS market entirely belongs to Microsoft with COD and ID games. Don't no how much liquid they have left to spend in acquisitions but I'd just be spiteful and take what microsoft can't,the Japanese pubs. Namco and capcom, keep fighting games off Xbox. It's nasty for everyone but Microsoft have made it this way. If theyve not basically bought square already also then theyre fools
Jumps lol. That common occurrence of many a pro race . Polyphony didn't really get the car explosion thing down either , also no dubstep or rewind feature. What a broken game
Physics? in gran turismo? Polyphony's weight, tyre model, handling characteristics and low level physics have been tight as ***** since GT5 ,and have online improved massively with GTSport. Easily the best dualshock/joypad racing game
If you want better realism then you better move onto AC as long as you have a full steering wheel, gear/pedal setup as it's toilet paper with a pad
Land a jump, Jesus wept. Or perhaps stick the Doritos and mountain dew of Forza if you wanna pull "sick tricks"
Fixed how? It's not in any way broken....or are you about to moan about microtransactions that you're in no way forced to buy or need when it's very easy to gather a car collection in the hundreds with minimal effort ??
You can't be independent and be owned by a multi national corporation, nor just say your keeping sales for yourself.
Hmmm
I'm really not sure if you're a troll or really badly educated?
Bunjie are about as independent as Sony pictures. Just because theyre free to release films on services they don't own doesn't mean they don't answer ultimately to Japan and profits generated by a subsidiary do BELONG TO SONY.
Sony doesn't own the MLB so have no say nor earn everything from sales, but they do own bunjie now so if Microsoft want to pay them obscene millions to put a multiplatform game on their service then why not. It all goes into their pocket for the good stuff comiy from PS studios
Great game, you're never forced into micro transactions. It's actually way more forgiving money wise the GT 1, or 2 . The outrage over this game was strange Colin Moriarty is right about
SCE weren't the healthiest financial company in 2012, and the parent company as a whole was only just starting to recover from previous decade of bad leadership .
Obviously Sony as A whole are flush in money again now and throwing alot of money around not just in gaming
Thing is those are all images are from cutscenes in the original game where everything is way more detailed and than the actual gameplay models and environment so it's not a great comparison . They should've shown more gameplay
Too much smoke around the SE rumour. Sony really don't need or want that extra bloat of their Western studios so they sold them off to streamline the company for a Sony buyout

Re: Round Up: The Last of Us TV Reviews Praise a Great Adaptation
@PegasusActual93
Netflix's Horizon zero dawn is NOT ANIMATED, it's a live action TV show set before and during the events of the game .
Hence why I'd prefer a hbo budget as Netflix as said half arse TV shows and even their films. It ideally needs rings of power money behind it
Re: Round Up: The Last of Us TV Reviews Praise a Great Adaptation
Not surprising when the show runner and that it would be hbo was announced.
Sony should've given horizon to them also instead of Netflix who half arse it
