@ErrantRob https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/505-games-acquires-i-ghostrunner-i-franchise-and-tech-licenses-for-5-8-million

505 bought the IP from the original Devs and gave it to a new Studio. So not surprised the Sequel is worse

@ChrisDeku GoW R released on a Wednesday

@themightyant Its crazy how much fomo/***** limited release sold 3D All-stars

@dark_knightmare2 Yeah well I did and nothing came up except that they have Producers now lol

@dark_knightmare2 Really? Would appreciate some links for this

@dark_knightmare2 Its a slightly better looking Port of a Game which was already remastered on PS4 and patched to 60FPs. Without any Level improvements. Or AI Upgrades. For 80€. Without any Upgrade way.

And I doubt ND doesnt Crunch now lol, there havent been any positive Reports.

@ATaco I got the physical MGS2 and 3 Bundle for the Vita too a while ago. Thankfully bc this got quite expensive

@dark_knightmare2 ND hasnt even teased a new Game this Gen which is 3 years old now. And instead only releases pointless cash grab Remakes and awful PC Ports. And Factions 2 is three years late now and basically canceled which caused the layoff of poor contractors and Devs. And Druckmann hasnt done anything against the Crunch at ND. Yeah, sound like hes doing a greaaaaat Job /s

And afIk he didnt direct the TV Show so he shouldn't get the laurels for this

@dark_knightmare2 who says the are fired? Might as well left out of own reasons, like getting their Project canceled which Sony is known to do lol. Tho Imho Druckmann should be kicked out since hes doing an awful Job with ND lol

@Yaycandy Imho Cory Barlog. He has been quiet for months and its not known what he has done the past 4ish years. Really only him and Druckmann would be News worthy Imho

@Drago201 yeah that was VAG who suffered layoffs because development of Factions 2 is halted

@Yaycandy no, its about an prominent individual leaving SIE/PS

@get2sammyb https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/17eb5ps/david_jaffesad_frustrating_potentially_super/

@Drago201 @DennisReynolds I mean he didn't direct the last GoW and nothing has been known about what he directed since 2019. Chances are high his project was canned. And no, Jaffee talks about an individual + a Project getting canned and Sony really only has 2 well known Directors anymore. Barlog and Druckmann

@DennisReynolds Nah hes ain (sadly). Its probably Cory Barlog leaving again and getting his Game canceled (again lol).Xbox Dude Jez Cordon also hinted at smth big for today so he might join Microsoft

Well, some good news before another awful one will drop today huh. Wonder if Sony waited with this until SM2 released lol

@Mikey856 Well its an MMO and those are the original "GaaS"

@Americansamurai1 Maybe next year lol. Or in 2025 if they are skipping one again

@MrMagic Well barely anything of this money went into SIE then and it will be the same for the next allocation. Bungie was probably more thsn triple as expensive than all the other tiny Studios they got

@TheTony316 whats the Source for this statement? And Games like the recent Dragon Quest one didnt launch on Gamepass

@TheTony316 This also speaks about Squeenix wanting to be bought by Sony tho lol

@TheTony316

I mean watch the footage lol. This happened because they wanted to send a message.

https://www.gematsu.com/2023/07/square-enix-promises-better-xbox-support-going-forward

@TommyNL Sony allocated like 12 Billion for 3 fiscal years and the whole Sony corp. A big portion of this already went into SIE (3 Billion alone for Bungie), Sony Music and Sony Pictures. There aint much left to buy anything of worth

@Hoodie718 The worry is that VR2 mostly only gets years old Meta Quest Ports and VR Modes while Meta buys tons of high-profile exclusive Games + also being way cheaper and not needing a 450€+ extra to pay. Also theres like zero newbFirstParty Games confirmed for the VR2 atm.

@Jswift56 Yeah no, the target audience for those Games is on Switch lol. Not on a 549€ Console and 599€ Headset

@Jswift56 I actually hope their next Game issnt a VR2 exclusive because it will sell awful and kill the last bit left of Japan Studio

@zebric21 Its already doomed. Basically Vita 2 but even this had a better Support by Sony in its first year lol

@TheTony316 They were on stage together during the XIV Fanfest, literally holding hands and gave Interviews afterwards about wanting to strengthen their relationship lol

@mrbone Sony has no real interest in the Japanese market anymore. They closed their biggest JP Studio and now only have 1 small Team there and the Gran Tourismo Team. And Konami really only has IPs anymore and barely any Devs, thats why they outsource all of their bigger Projects.

And Squeenix gets very cozy with Microsoft again lol.

I mean they are but I doubt they can buy anything that has some IP worth. They already spend the majority of aquisition money which was already not THAT much since it was allocated to the whole Sony company and for 3 years.

@Lup Doubt they can bc MS probably has a Deal with EA for this. Thats why Ubisoft+ also is only available via Ps+ Extra and not included in Gamepass

@Bionic-Spencer Its actually great because the lackluster PS2 lineup was because Devs didnt want to deal with the hassle of adding Trophies

I dunno but it doesnt workt for me? Also haven't seen any Screenshot of this new feature

@Pimpernel That doesnt mean they gonna buy Sony. But so many Publishers that PlayStation will be starved of 3rd Party Games

@twitchtvpat Sega hasnt said that, Capcom did. Also Spencer said in TGS 2023 Interviews that they will expand in Japan

@GamingFan4Lyf I mean Sega is barely worth a few Billion. If a 69 Billion one goes through without much issues in most of the world this wont too

@CutchuSlow Sega never said this. Capcom did

@BeerIsAwesome You dont know if they want to tho. They have been in a very close business Relationship with MS for a while now

@Markatron84 Well those could be sold off again. But Imho they will more likely go aftef Japanese Giants

@LifeGirl It wont. The big Players always win and Money talks. This was the biggest Gaming aquisition of all time and it only faced some issues in NA and UK. And for UK only because of Cloud Gaming lol

@LifeGirl What? They faced barely any issues in the end and Sega/SE/Ubisoft would be waaay cheaper than the 69 Billion for ActiBlizz. According to the leaked E-Mails they want and can buy Sony out of Business and they will continue to try this.

Whos next for MS now I wonder lol. Ubisoft? Sega? Square Enix? Because they will obviously continue since they are allowed to

@CP2 Nope, Store description in German says you can remote play Games "which are installed on your PS5"

@Jswift56 @DonkeyFantasy It wont because the Remote Device doesn't have any App Support at all. You will only able to use Remote Play with your PS5

@ArashiKageTaro https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2023/10/the-last-of-us-2-ps5-remaster-seems-to-be-real

Sounds plausible since they gonna sell the "Remake" soon for 79€

@Kevw2006 Thats usally how it works mate. PS+ Extra has the Ubisoft Deal, Gamepass has the EA one and neither have both.

@UltimateOtaku91 They had that deal for years now lol, and Sony bought CR in 2020. probably signed a long-term agreement with MS. Sony Music issnt known for really working with PlayStation. They publish Games on PC and Switch all the time akd skip PS4/5.
