@NEStalgia I believe the deal was 6 months of initial exclusivity with the chance to extend, on Sonys end. It was picked up by Sony, but was not confirmed for how long it was extended. I'd assume it's now indefinitely.

This is probably the best I've done all year.

Idk why people even respond on twitter. I just read news reports and announcements on twitter and that's it

I have last year's model, I really like it but I can't recommend it to people, for the price, I can only say I enjoy mine, and to do your own research as well.

I'll grab a disc copy to complete my FF collection

@Titntin FTC and other regulators have back door access to all records, public and private for all parties involved in the ABK acquisition.

This includes Sony. Sony doesn't have to hide anything from the public. Odds are they will wait till they are nearly ready to release projects to announce them. Same with the console. It makes no sense for Sony to announce it now, people would stop buying their current versions. They'll announce it a few weeks before they release the new console.

@nessisonett that got dark fast.

@PegasusActual93 lots of people have access to that information, it's why NDAs exist. There was that recent story of that YouTuber who was caught with a fake Twitter account revealing such secrets. Essentially ruining his career as a YouTuber. Colin Moriarty is another user with access, he is smart enough to hint at things rather than flat out admit anything, thus circumventing the NDAs.

Is it on PS premium?

@racinggamefanatic I would love for Killzone Mercenary to get Ported to PS5 with a facelift and online functionality. It was such a brilliant idea. Helghast and ISA are both humans, why can't we have mercenaries fighting for the highest bidder. Makes sense to me.

$20 is affordable enough for me to platinum the games. I 100% them when they didn't have trophies, I can do it again with trophies.

Looks incredible, I was never a big Harry Potter fan but I will definitely pick this up

Looks like a cross between fire emblem and dragon age. I'll add this to my wishlist

I didn't realize I played so much, 907 hrs, it is more than 10% more than last year. Guess I'm getting better with age haha

I'll wait till it's free on PS Essential

I see Amazon is finally entering the console gaming market as well...

@Hindenburg I can see that you love their work.

@pip_muzz can you provide a link?

@BeerIsAwesome I think with Jimmy being so obsessed with live service games, Sony is more willing to release to other platforms. They just want to own publishing rights, to ensure they maximize profitability.

@BeerIsAwesome Sony has yet to purchase a large IP/studio and keep it from their competitors. We can discuss their intentions on that matter after.
Bungie being their largest acquisition, remains a third party publisher.

@MaccaMUFC just because they don't get a 69 billion dollar deal from going in, doesn't mean they will still have that money to blow. After paying Activision 3B, I don't think their share holders will be too happy to put any money towards the Gaming industry in the near future. Shareholders care about profit, end of the day.

@KaijuKaiser I'm not surprised you got banned. They didn't like Sunset Overdrive, but God forbid Sony acquired them.

@SacredPYRO COD + Choice exclusives will still draw a substantial amount of people.
Versus
No choice

@TheMarinePS I don't play COD Either, but it brought in 1 B in opening weekend. And if I go to any group of people who play COD Primarily, they will go where COD exists. Simple. If it's third party it won't affect where people choose to game. If it's exclusive, it will.

@Cutmastavictory Subscription corners the market and kills creative competition. I rather pay for the games I will play then subscribe to this. I'll be getting all future Bethesda games on PC.

Even the US Antitrust sees the problem with this, no way Europe votes for Microsoft now.

@s0kkie-NL are you gonna be Push Square insider now? (Jk)

If they ever ask for your input, recommend a new Killzone 🤣😂

Also, Congrats!

I doubt they'd want a person who can't program or code and lives in North America. Lmao

They should honestly charge less if it's digital only, even $5 less, considering they don't need to print the discs, make the boxes/design, ship to stores. If they are gonna cut out the middle man, I want to see savings on our end as well!

I'll definitely get it down the road. But I spoil myself with a maximum of one game per month, this month (time of writing) it will be FF7 Crisis core. Cannot wait.

I'll keep an eye out for a future sale to snag this beauty.

I should really start some of my backlog to end the year...

@Blackmagehobbit it's really hard for a non-Japanese corporation to purchase a Japanese corporation. They have some type of law that makes it difficult for those kinds of acquisitions to occur.

@Rmg0731 I feel like any ports to Nintendo won't be exclusive anymore, I.E. Triangle Strategy, which launched exclusive to the Switch. I feel like games like those would be published MultiPlat day one.

@Blackmagehobbit I wonder if it would be a case of Bethesda or Bungie?

Become exclusive or remain somewhat independent under PlayStation?

@Tharsman not really. Why did the Bethesda deal go through? Bethesda made mostly single player experiences, third party would survive without it. Same as Square Enix. ABK is a multiplat multiplayer behemoth, not comparable.

To me this is confirmation Sony will acquire SE, they are just waiting for ABK to be sorted.

runs away

@WallyWest Bethesda made sense for Microsoft considering how closely worked together in the past.

Sony acquiring a publisher they work with closely like Square Enix, wouldn't be an issue.

Neither are worth even a tenth of what ABK is worth.

@AdamNovice I don't think this is true. I am thinking exactly the opposite. I think Sony thought this deal would have been struck down by regulators already. Sony already claimed they would be making much more acquisitions this year....and simply haven't. It's obvious they have been talking behind the scenes. The most obvious of these is Square Enix, whom have been making a ton of exclusive content for PlayStation the past 2-3 years. They are all but first party at this point in name only. At a valuation of between 2-3 B, Sony can easily close this deal, but seem to be waiting until after the regulators decide on ABK, since it would hurt their case by acquiring a publisher.

Just my two cents on the matter. When ever this matter is resolved, however it is resolved, Sony will have a few acquisitions announced thereafter.

Nintendo is successful with their approach, because they aim exclusively at their own individual market. Which is entirely separate from PlayStation and Xbox. I don't think Sony has the luxury of doing the same. They can't make their games like Nintendo, and mass sell for kids. Games like GOW/Horizon would simply never work in the Nintendo sphere.

If there is a built in PS it should be back seat only for legal reasons.

@KaijuKaiser so you don't want to play this because you live with a wife and child. Hypothetically, would you be interested in playing this, if you didn't have them living with you?

I think the game looks akin to Dynasty Warriors. A fun diversion of life. I'll probably pick it up on sale down the road.

11 not bad

The switch can barely produce 720 P and 30 fps
I feel that is the true crime this generation.

I'm normally sad to see studios get folded, especially teams with a historic Franchise. But I am personally happy to see Volition go under. Between the horrible remake, and the way they gaslit fans for disliking their product, I hope they enjoy being a support team for future Borderlands games.

That's the problem with the Embracer group. They buy studios, sure. But they don't really invest into them, so they remain AA studios.

Is this part of the upcoming acquisitions Jim kept talking about earlier this year 😂😂😂

Jk but it's good to see Sony giving out some goodwill to smaller dev teams.

Definetly looking to buy this at launch

@KidBoruto I went through trophies list, at least 1 trophy tied to each house (4 in all)

Looks like I'll need to play the game four times as each class to complete plat. Not what I had in mind but okay.

Love my Vita

That is all
