Could sony show off god of war and announce it will be on the highest tier of this new service? That would be interesting and unexpected.

Nah the leak is no new games in the service. A demo though....

[thatJohann]

Well?

 

[Mibu no ookami]

Think that's even more true wtih Bandai personally. whether Bandai wants to do that, who knows.

I agree I think that Namco Bandai should absolutely make a move here before it is too late for them.

I don't know, maybe he visited SIE HQ to celebrate with maybe some drinks or food that they shipped the PC port, and who knows if to talk about the next steps of his next project where they will be able to focus now. Which according to Norman Reedus would be (at least one of them if they are working on multiple proects at the same time) Death Stranding 2.

Or who knows, maybe now once he finished the DSDC PC port and before the FY ends he went there to sign the acquisition of the studio.


People prefers to get frequent good news every few weeks instead of getting multiple of them a single day and then to be like a year or more without important announcements.

Its not like it makes games come out faster

Are they just making Elden Ring jokes or could there be something more to it?

They're marketing a new game they would like you to buy. Its called Elden Ring.

 

[Draugoth]

That was a fast debunk


btw, Greg Miller shared more about the 3 rumors he heard:

• One totally about spartacus (PS Plus merge with PS Now)
• The other 2 are not related to spartacus, but big on their own. He says he is not in particular hyped, but mostly 'interested' in them.
• No rumor is regarding God of War Ragnarok, delays or Knack

Really makes you FEEL like a disappointment.

Yeah, I know but it's just curious. But yeah, I know the game is so damn popular right now plus they have a good relationship with FS.

You can exclude acquisitions from the list.

Seems to be PlayStation Premium + Other Two Games

Imagine if what he heard was the GTA 5 Single Player mode will be on PS Plus next month, lol

1. PS+ Premium
2. Deathloop DLC hands off preview
3. A new live service free to play co-op shooter from the devs who brought you Destruction Allstars

Now that makes much more sense

[TheAssist]

Oh is it time get excessively overexcited about stuff so we can than be disappointed about Jim Ryan for some reason???

Noice.

 

[DeepEnigma]

They should give a haptics profile on a DualSense for this.

 

[LordCBH]

Rumor RUMOR take with grain of salt Sony to acquire LJN branding and back catalog of games. Checkmate, athiests. Can’t wait to play Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde on my PS5.

This was from last year.

Why do people do this

 

[Dr Bass]

he confirms one of the announcements is not God of War

If there are multiple announcements, one of them has to be not God of War.

uh?

Tencent's stake isn't to make a difference. Their stake means they have business interest in the company. If Kadokawa wants to sell FromSoft, many companies, including Tencent and Sony will be interested. Sony and Tencent's interests are already obvious, as they are current investors in Kadokawa. That's my point. If FromSoft is available, they're not just going to be gifted to Sony with a bow on top. There will be many bidders interested.

1. Sony already have the relationship, Tencent don’t.
2. It’s the end of Sony’s financial year, making an acquisition announcement very much possible.
3. Before Elden Ring released, Sony inferred From Software as a PlayStation studio dev.

I’m not saying it’s happening, but it is very much a possibility.

 

[gow3isben]

yeah hype is gone for me now if no Ragnarok or megaton acquisition idgaf

 

[T-Cake]

Could the Precious tweet relate to the new LotR game, Gollum? That's my take on it.

 

[Borowski_1]

yeah hype is gone for me now if no Ragnarok or megaton acquisition idgaf

yeah, same for me

couldn't care less about VR, and to a lesser degree, Spartacus

The rumor has been around for a while. According to someone I know, Sony has approached them some time ago.

These kind of acquisitions are huge and their NDAs are a much bigger deal than normal. Even insiders don't know about this kind of acquisitions if not merely days or hours before they become public and they're never sure they're really happening, hence the silence.

So yes, there's absolutely a chance it's happening. I'd rather FS stay independent, but in this market I'd rather have Sony own them than fucking Tencent or any other non gaming player. They'll probably release some games on Xbox anyway, Bethesda style.

Then we shall see soon enough. The fiscal year ends this week.

I'm sorry but it's bed time soon so if you can all hurry the fuck up, it will be appreciated.

 

[MacReady13]

It's great that backstabbing Greg Miller mentioned this "inside" news story but really, does anyone actually care that his podcast is delayed? I know of no one who listens to it or watches anything Kinda Funny after they fucked over Colin Moriarty.
So yes, thanks for giving us some hope of news from Sony but really, who cares about Greg fucking Miller...

Knack 2 remake

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

There's been rumors of a new FromSoft IP/game that's a Souls-like. Maybe they could do an announcement this week and then show it off at their summer event?

Timing an announcement of such a thing off the momentum of Elden Ring would be pretty big. All the same, it could be an Elden Ring anime series or film...not necessarily PlayStation-related but the OP does say Sony which could also be film or anime-related, too.

What if it's an Elden Ring animated series with weekly exclusive items/costumes etc. and planned DLC made exclusive to Spartacus on subscription? Gotta think 5D chess moves here

he confirms one of the announcements is not God of War

Elden Ring anime series. Spartacus exclusive. DLC roadmap perks for all subscribers. Bet on it.

I only laughed because the timing of this right after Will Smith/Chris Rock couldn't be more ironic

It’s 6am in Japan tho.

No idea who he ”hears this” from though. Does he mean sources or just the old twitter rumormongering.

 

[rofif]

They have a marketing deal for Elden Ring. it is featured on psn since month before release.
Finger but hole

honestly - I never palyed knack or knack 2... should.. I.... maybe... spend 2$ ?

There we go. 100% confirmation. Sony wont buy From.

Edit: Never believe this guy or any other "insider" when it comes to acquisitions.
