This whole season has been off imo. I love the second game and they've just messed with the sequences too much.
Starting with Abby laying out her intention in the first scene robbed the shock of her shooting Joel and then the hate toward her character till you get her backstory which I guess would be season 3 in the show.
To Tommy not being their which is gonna rob the story of the moment later on in the farm.
Not starting the season with Joel playing future days, again robbing the end of the story of it's impact with Ellie's revenge quest ending her ability to play the guitar and that song.
It's full with instances like this, it's watchable but meh
The already have the IP , and the game, they don't really dont need waste money on owning the devs when they have the bloated bunjie to deal with They just need keep cultivating helldivers 2 long term
And let's not pretend that the switch 2 is not massively overpriced with its LCD screen. The vita has OLED 15 years ago
Nor are their ports of ancient games worth the £75 they're charging.
They're even charging for a tech demo, it's like Nintendo fans are on looney pills! If this was Sony or Microsoft would be the biggest witch hunt of our time , but Nintendo can sell out of date chicken soup for £50 and it's lauded as greatness
Yet it's more expensive than the PS5 in the west. I've heard that's Nintendo already baking in American import tariffs into the price. The rest suffer the same to close a loophole of Americans importing it from Europe, aus etc at a cheaper price
"The game goes pretty deep beyond that" Feel he's hinting that it isn't the usual ND affair, it won't be a linear experience. Bet it's closer to cyberpunk thsn it is to the last of us
Doesn't really matter what the next Xbox is in relation to Sony. What Colin Moriarty said many years ago is true, PlayStation has had become like the apple of consoles. It doesn't matter if the competition has better hardware, the crowds will always turn out for it now MS made the right choice going multi plat
What you on about , silent hill 2 remake is a straight remake. Same characters, same plot Shattered dreams is not at all like silent hill 1. It's a totally different game, how does that not compute? You've obviously never played it so never mind Have a nice day 😂
Be a big money maker for Microsoft but at the same time pretty much the nail in the coffin of Xbox consoles, with them being nothing more than just a curiosity
Meh playstation only gamers not really missing anything. You could watch a YouTube play through and get pretty much the same experience. There's very little gameplay Fine for GP, Would be hurt if I paid more than 10 quid for it though
The majority are the millions of people who will just buy and enjoy the game and not care about this childish culture war internet garbage
the small minority are the thousands of looney tunes who log on to YouTube handing out their little dislikes on a trailer and writing dull hate filled comments about drukman because he killed off their white saviour in part 2
Yawn.
So no Sony don't have a monopoly on anime at all
What you actually mean is Sony have a monopoly on Western distribution of anime. Very big difference between distribution and ownership.
Which they've had ever since purchasing CR
Sony own very few anime ip and even less studios
After this take over it will jump to around 30 percent of anime and manga ownership
Hardly a monopoly is it? Kadokawa hardly the only big anime and book publisher in Japan.
Toei, Kodansha, Shogakukan - those are giants that own the the likes of my hero academia, attack on Titan, demon slayer
Let's also not forget Amazon and Netflix that are investing huge in the industry for their services
Neon Genesis, and Gundam probably the biggest manga ip Sony get out of this, or maybe delicious in dungeon which decent . The rest u probably never heard of
People keep coming out with that monopoly nonsense probably because some YouTuber said it without knowing very little about that industry.
In western layman's terms it's more like Sony pictures buying universal studios. No one would be screaming monopoly because they Own fast and furious, Jurassic Park and a bunch of lesser ip.
Nice to have him around for the few hardcore who care. But Massive blow, not at all. The wider audience won't have a clue, not will it effect the sales in the slightest. Just internet hyperbole
Why is it a huge blow to Sony, he's not been involved with anything ps5, and very little PS4 in terms of hardware or PlayStation studios.
Legendary figure within the brand but more so just a mascot at this point. Happy he's gonna try something fresh
If their wiki is correct with their financial numbers for the year they'll also bite Sony's hand off if it's a decent financial package.
They're overly bloated and not making any profit
I am confused by the lack of IP comment. Still doesn't make sense, they are sitting on a gold mine
I assume it's on reference to Sony pictures but even thats not true, they have 100 years of film and tv content to work with .
Playstation itself they could nurture resistance, destiny, killzone, wipeout, Syphon filter, legend of dragoon, warhawk, Bloodborne, demons souls, lemmings, wild arms, heavenly sword, the order, infamous , returnal etc
From soft they'd keep multiplatform 100 percent. And they can feel more comfortable making films or TV from Bloodborne or elden ring.
But owning kadakawa must be of greater interest to Sony due to all the anime that would get folded into Sony. They'd pretty much own the animé market globally

Re: Hellblade 2 Announced for PS5, Out This Summer

There's barely a game to play, you could mostly get the same experience via YouTube walkthrough

You've obviously never played it so never mind
Have a nice day 😂
Re: Bloober Team Partnering with Konami Once Again Following Silent Hill 2 Success
@Nem
SH1 has never been remade.
Perhaps you're referring to the 16 year old shattered dreams on PlayStation 2 ?
A reimagining of sorts of sh1, with a different plot, levels, gameplay . Not a remake
