Re: Sony Dumps Funds into Live Service Software Firm

Gbarsotini

@suikoden Im more than 100 hours into AC Valhalla, and nowhere near to finish..

I too hate this path Sony is going.. its not because of the 20 million spent here.. its this, plus Bungie for 3 billion (for live service games), plus letting Eidos and CD pass for 300 million, plus the westernization of the company, plus the censorship..

But I still love you Playstation!

Re: Sony Buying Square Enix Was the Big Acquisition Rumour, Apparently

@AdamNovice I can see that.. of course it makes sense.. but still, a franchise with core players in your system, a system know for awesome SP experiences, with legacy, with a brand almost as recognazible as Mario or Sonic (my father knows Lara Croft), that has sell 88 million games in it´s entire existence, and before launching a PS plus with some features similar to Netflix or Gamepass (acess to a library of games).. for 300 million, I think it was a steal for Embracer..
I know I´m using only my preferences for my "little rant".. haha.. but I love Tomb Raider, forgive me..

On the other hand, I know nothing of the situation of the companies, plus more than 300 employees, it was strugling in the past few years.. maybe it was a good decision, maybe not.. I just hope in the future Microsoft doesnt buy from Embracer, or buy Embracer.. because in the end, as long as this games continues to play in our system, doenst matter..

I´m in no way a corporate big suit person, to have the ability to make this big decisions, so it´s only my opinion in here, based on my personal preferences, but Eidos and CD, for less than 1/10 of the value of Bungie, would have had a bigger impact on gamers. I still remember the backlash Square received after the 100 million dollars for 1 year exclusivity for Rise of The Tomb Raider on Xbox, it was crazy.

If this confirmed to be true, Sony should have telling them to keep the Tomb Raider IP, its an incredible brand and a legacy one for Playstation, would be an excelent adittion to the Sony movies and the new PS Plus. Imagine that banner with all the studios that Sony always do, but with Lara in one of them. Really strange if Sony buys Square.

Re: Hideo Kojima's New Project Getting Lots of Sony Love

Good, I love that are still people willing to do things differently in games, and also that there are companies like Sony willing to fund this kind of projects. I mean, Death Stranding is a pretty bizarre game (in the good sense, for my liking), and not a cheap one to make. Well deserve Kojima, congrats.

Re: Amazon Primed for Live Action God of War TV Series

@sikthvash It was just meant to be a lighthearted comment, but I really didn't like the series, I don´t know, its a very strange series, confusing, with characters I really didnt care for, but take this from someone who hasn't read the books. I know the books/series are very popular, maybe its just me. But the expense is awesome.
