Re: Indiana Jones Game Deal Amended to Exclude PS5, PS4

This is a lot more damning than people realize. Considering Spencer's comments regarding honoring agreements, them being caught in this lie, gives FTC pretty good ammo in how the ABK agreements will play out. Ultimately I do expect Microsoft to win against the FTC, but hopefully this prevents Microsoft from buying out any more publishers...

Re: Sony Patent Adds Weight to PS5 Redesign Rumours

Hypothetically considering a removable disc drive has never existed in a gaming console prior, if the patent goes through would Nintendo/Microsoft be forced not to use it for future consoles or would they need to pay Sony to use it, like what is done with part of Blu-ray?

As goofy as this sounds right now, I can totally see future consoles using a feature like this, and not just PlayStation.

Re: CMA Expected to Rule in Favour of Microsoft's $69 Billion Acquisition of Activision Blizzard Tomorrow

@NEStalgia Microsoft has every ability to be a dominant force in the market without buying Activision, they own more studios than Sony pre-acquisition of ABK, they have tons of unused IPs, and so many studios in development hell. I don't see what difference we will see from the new studios that'll join that roster. I do have gamepass on PC, I'm annoyed I can't play my Bethesda games on my console of choice, but at least I can play on my gaming PC.

I agree that deal was off, but rather than renegotiating, on the deal and having it removed like a rationale business, Nintendo let Sony continue to work on it, then signed a deal with Panasonic. It was done to screw Sony out of R&D and it nearly worked, but they wanted revenge and so they stayed in the market.

Re: Activision Boss Disappointed by Sony, But Commits to Best Games Possible on PS5, PS4

@C25CLOUD
The team that handled SOCOM closed down, at the same time COD was on the rise, so Sony didn't bother to make a new one.
Killzone Shadow Fall was meant to be a showcase of the power a PS4 console could output. Even to this day, it's one of the most visually impressive games we have ever seen on the PlayStation 4, unfortunately, Gorilla dropped the ball on the story. Which was unfortunate.
For Resistance, I wouldn't mind a full remake of the series bundled for modern consoles.
