What's done is done. How's PlayStation going to handle Bungie moving forward?

I'm not sure why people assume this purchase was in retaliation for abk, acquisitions would take months in the background to complete.
As for the poll, it's still early to say, the purchase went from one studio split into to two now. If they take control of the studio and make it a first party, I don't see why it won't still be a good purchase. The staff are still some of the best in the industry. Management needs to be overhauled...

Nothing wrong with being brown 🥺

@Mikey856 most trophies are connected to the story. It's a pretty easy platinum, the level scaling is a bit off, where you only need to grind just before the last dungeon.

Just completed the campaign, I'm going for the platinum now. It isn't on the same tier as Tactics Ogre (which I think is an absolute masterpiece) but it's still a solid 8.5 (I'd round up to 9). I missed games like this. Feeling the nostalgia I bought unicorn overlord, so I'm excited for that next.

Less than 30 seconds is crazy! I'm very impressed by you guys

I didn't buy it. Sad to say I'm glad I didn't.

@zhoont seems like one of those lawyers chasing an ambulance. Good luck to her, this is an uphill battle.

@Ichiban likely because hick is generally highly critical of Sony, but not so critical of the team in Green. Mr magic is likely making the comparison there.

I'm fine with Sony cutting their loses on titles that aren't half baked, it's better than releasing a game should have been cancelled and is subsequently reviewed to oblivion.

On the bright side, they are still third party.

I'll just wait till they have stock, I refuse to buy from a scalper.

If one of these 12 games hit, Sony can fund a whole generation of games, can you blame them for trying?

@Sil_Am feels counter intuitive to have both uncharted and tomb raider.

I wonder if Sony would be interested in buying IP/studios from Embracer?

Sony needs JRPG studios, what better time to buy a developer than when they are down looking for a comeback. Look at Obsidian at Microsoft

I'm assuming it doesn't use Bluetooth, since it's battery draining but why not an aux jack then?

@XboxTheBestBox kinda hard to not take you for a fanboy with a name like that. But no worries.

I actually disagree about the cloud gaming issue. I think the cloud issue is not overblown like many think. This is a real industry, and it's in its infancy right now. At this stage, an early lead can hold for several generation.

This is a good move on Microsoft's side to establish good faith, but a 15 year deal is the same as a 10 year deal for games with Sony. We won't know the full long term effects until it's too late.

Not surprised, disappointed, but not surprised...

@trev666 you're daft if you think Sony is the only one who does timed exclusives. Sony might do it more often, but it's not exclusively Sony.

Missing Yuna for X-2, she is the best. Fight me.

Runs away

Wasn't Roiland in that underage scandal or am I thinking of someone else.

Great voice, terrible person.

Ill see the review first

Like any other live service game, I'll buy it when it's free

@get2sammyb

I hate when people bring up the Psygnosis acquisition in 1995 (actually 1993)
It was purchased for £20 million, the equivalent of £52 million today, no where near the cost of even Insomniac, let alone Bethesda or ABK...

@Shepherd_Tallon you are correct

Also even if cod is released biannually, if it brings in nearly a billion in sales for Sony a title, why would they sign for everything but cod when cod is more valuable. Sony is still a business we can't expect them to take the lesser option.

@Foxx_64740 I believe FFXIV doesn't have anything to do with Sony, it's some type of security concern between Square and Microsoft.

A little surprised but I'm not overly concerned. This was a fantastic game to show off this generation to people who were on the fence. It has served it's purpose, let it ride off into the sunset on PC.

@OrtadragoonX I doubt it. Now they should aim higher, go for Tencent

Farewell Spyro and Crash. It was nice knowing you.

At this point it's just delaying the when

Can't wait to see what Microsoft can buy next!

At this point SEGA is too small, they need to think bigger!

Maybe Tencent?

@AsterZero if Sony didn't sell the memory cards at such a ridiculous rate, it could legitimately have been as popular as the PSP. Still make it proprietary so that it can't be hacked (that's what they were afraid of, after the PSP), but charge a reasonable rate for one.

@AsterZero they did, really good ones too. The PlayStation Vita carried their studio. They had a lot of exclusives that were fantastic

@AsterZero they published games too, like the zero escape series. They are under the Kadokowa group (owns Fromsoftware). And they have kinda just done their own thing for years.

@AsterZero I like Spike Chunsoft as well, I'd have preferred Atlus had stayed independent obviously but given the circumstances, Sega is just a step below Microsoft in managing studios.

Sony should have bought Atlus back when they were facing bankruptcy. Atlus quality has gone down post SEGA acquisition. Shame really

Going from one narcissistic billionaire to another, lol

It's a marketing deal can't be mad about it. Sony did this with call of duty up until the Microsoft acquisition. Hopefully it's worth it for SEGA to alienate their largest fan base.

Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadians!

I'd give it a 10, best game I've played this year thus far.

This is ridiculous, but as a South Asian I can't help but enjoy the humor. I'll probably grab it.

@__jamiie so why even comment?

@__jamiie completely misses the point of the comment. 😮‍💨

@LightningLeader idk why you believe this when it's very publicly shown that he made both Indiana Jones and Redfall, which were originally supposed to be multiplat, are now Xbox exclusives.

They can do it, sure, but let's not act like Microsoft, and Phil is some sort of saint in this industry.

Let's also not act like it's surprising Sony is opposing this deal, if next year Sony decided to purchase Take-Two, effectively owning both Grand Theft Auto and 2K, that Phil/Microsoft would not stand in Sony's way to oppose this type of acquisition. Some titles need to remain independent/Third party.

@LightningLeader you mean like Bethesda? Phil kept them multi Plat... Oh wait no, they didn't. Lmao

@MaikonCSGarcia you're acting like they didn't fail due to their own incompetence in the console market. They launched a console, an add on to that console, and another console, too soon from each other, destroying their own market.

SEGA always talks about the great support Microsoft has with them, but they weren't the ones who helped Yakuza grow into the franchise it is today. Shame they have such animosity towards Sony.

I hope bluepoint is working on a remake/sequel, other then Fromsoft themselves, there is no one else I trust to make an amazing Bloodborne ..

Must be nice to have FU money laying around to destroy the competition.

I didn't even know it came out LOL

We all know they were full of ***** when they promised to keep them third party. I'm just confused why Bethesda is still Bethesda, why hasn't it been unified under Xbox studios?

This has revealed more to be about Microsoft then I cared to know about. Before, if the FTC lost I wouldn't have been too disappointed. I want them to win now. What a ludicrous defense by Spencer...
