[Robb]

I wouldn’t really care much. If they focus on a single system they might be able to push the hardware more which could be cool.

 

[PonyStation4]

Bamco and From both own the rights to Elden Ring, neither company can make another one without the other

Do you have a source for this? That Bandai Namco owns the copyright for publishing further Elden Ring games and not just the 1?

Expecially considering that From Software published Elden Ring in Japan and Bandai Namco was not involved.

 

[hououinkyouma00]

Voted indifferent because I don’t play any of their games but honestly I would think it’s hilarious.

 

[Bonfires Down]

I’d be happy it’s s From game that’s exclusive rather than something I care about.

If it's like their previous efforts before ER, I wouldn't mind much. If it was in the same vein as ER I would be irritated, at least until I get my PS5.

 

[GhostOfTsu]

All of them should be exclusive.

Elden Ring was a demo for Demon's Souls PS5 (now on PS+, 25% off for Black Friday and you can stack)

Thanks.

It is interesting that the only two Fromsoftware games to end up on a subscription service so far are bloodborne and demon’s souls

Sony should buy From Software. It will really benefit gamers everywhere.

/s

 

[Mister Wolf]

I wouldn't give a shit. If it's another Souls rehash I would skip it.

Its all about choice

 

[FrankWza]

Pretty excited, but not because of the particular console exclusivity (I own both, so it doesn't matter), but because it wouldn't be held back by last gen.

 

[ACESHIGH]

As long as its on PC I don't care. They really need a tech overhaul. If they pull a Bloodborne leaving that game on the ps4 1080 sub 30 FPS chromatic aberration limbo I would be pissed.

 

[In Cold Blood]

Sony wouldn't do that. They have been telling everyone that will listen that they are against deals that take content away from console players.

In all reality if they can they should. I want as much exclusive content on both consoles ad possible.

 

[nial]

Exclusivity is lame to be honest! I understand it’s a necessary evil in business at times but I can’t get behind it or cheer it on in any way.

Anyone that does cheer this type of behaviour on is a small minded corpo cheerleader.

Demon's Souls, Bloodborne and Déraciné were first-party games.

They wouldn’t be taking content away they would be funding/producing new content, hence the “IP creation”

 

[AngelMuffin]

So you’d be “pretty upset” but then say “it makes sense” but then you’re “indifferent” and “don’t like their games” unless “it’s BB 2” but “would be happy with any new announcement”, “no matter what system it’s for”

Goodness, you’re all over the place here.

 

[darrylgorn]

Is it a souls type game?

Wait, that's a silly question, isn't it..

 

[EviLore]

Bloodborne is the only game in the Souls series that has to be played locked to garbage settings, so I'd rather they stay multiplatform.

 

[OsirisBlack]

Bloodborne is the only game in the Souls series that has to be played locked to garbage settings, so I'd rather they stay multiplatform.

No game released on either platform that is exclusive will be locked to garbage settings so this is a moot point.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

If it's a 10+ year, open world, GAAS Armored Core...I'd **** rockets out of my ***.

 

[DilWSTS]

Sony would need to money hat the crap out of it with the success of elden ring. their next game will sell like crazy even if its a stick figure 2d fighter

 

[remember_spinal]

Bloodborne is the only game in the Souls series that has to be played locked to garbage settings, so I'd rather they stay multiplatform.

Demon’s Souls is probably the best performing and looking souls game though

 

[EviLore]

Can’t say that with confidence before the benefit of 10 years of hindsight kicks in. All it takes is one unpatched technical problem. A PC release ensures forward compatibility via the community.

 

[Gamerguy84]

I wouldn't care. I don't get into from games.

 

[ABnormal]

If it is second party, so developed by third party From Software, but with Sony's resurces and technical help, then obviously very happy. If it would just be a timed third party exclusive, not happy, but at least it will arrive everywhere after some time.

 

[John Wick]

Nah most likely just likely just exclusive dlc and stuff, don’t think they going back to one platform after the huge success of elden ring

They only develop games not publish them. They will make a game if Sony fund it with them. They have a long history with PlayStation. It makes sense to make a Bloodborne 2 at least.

 

[ABnormal]

Being exclusive means little to me if Sony didnt lended them a support studio to work with them on the tech side of things. But would be great to see a FromSoft game polished and taking advantage of the PS5 hardware without framerate issues.

A game with the art direction of From Software and the tech from Bluepoint engine would be wonderful.

 

[angrod14]

PS is where From should be, EXCLUSIVELY.

 

[MikeM]

Don’t matter to me as I have a PS5 and a good PC.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

I would be pissed. But ultimately it’s just their loss. I wouldn’t buy a different console just to play one game. So, their loss if so. And I’m sure I’m not alone

 

[FoxMcChief]

I would have to miss out. No PlayStation for me this generation.

 

[Warablo]

I am sure Neogaf would rejoice. I can understand why other game developers are annoyed at Elden Ring getting showered with praise.

 

[M1chl]

After amount of sold copies and general cloud, it would be good marketing move for Sony, but given the rage of general public over anything, it will be probably shitstorm

 

[YukiOnna]

Annoyed as their prior titles have always been multiplatform and there's no reason for that to change.

 

[Gojiira]

Its a given that a upcoming game will be PS5 exclusive, they have a good relationship with Playstation and have a almost constant multi game deal with them. Now factor in Sony owning so much of both From and Kadokawa and yes its a given there will be PS exclusives coming up. And if you feel upset about it, PS has lost The Elder Scrolls and Fallout so whatever, it is what it is.

Seems like a fair trade off

 

[Punished Miku]

I'd write the CMA, New York Times, and the President of the United States and implore them to reverse this horrible injustice.

 

[LaughingStock]

If it's something as good as bloodborne I'd be very happy.

 

[Kagey K]

Imagine being excited that a gaming company invested thier money into another gaming company so now you hope all future releases are exclusive.

Now imagine a company you don't like buying games you don't like and you run around screaming foul all day.

 

[Jennings]

I wouldn't care. I play all FROM games that I can, and I don't own a Playstation, but I already can't play Demon Souls or Bloodborne and I'm still doing fine, so I'd be okay.

 

[PonyStation4]

https://trademarks.justia.com/884/73/elden-88473317.html

If that's true, then why could From Software self publish the game in Japan?

 

[Fredrik]

Elden Ring 2 needs to be day 1 on PC!

But I’d be happy to see FROM + Bluepoint working together on something else even if that means PS5 exclusivity. Don’t know what to vote here, choices don’t match my thinking.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Would be fine if Sony helped in development, like Dem S, BB.

Would suck if it was marketing deal, but that would be unlikely.

 

[DelireMan7]

I don't care about platforms, only games matter.

I'd probably excited for the game, whatever the platform it will be released on

 

[Heisenberg007]

You mean with the current spate of Microsoft love and fanboys suddenly parading their XBOXs around looking forward to Call Of Duty going exclusive one day? I'd say FromSoft being exclusive to PlayStation would probably give more credence to the argument being made that Sony are buying exclusives and therefore Microsoft need to buy Activision.

Equivalent to "my girl mayyy like some other man in the future, so I need to kill every man in the world."

 

[Graciaus]

I still wouldn't buy a ps5 and it would be a likely terrible business decision for From.

 

[Berserking Guts]

As long as I can play it on PS5 I don't care if it's exclusive or not.

 

[existensmaximum]

I would love it, it would be the best thing that could happen.
