There goes PC gaming
>>695009075Just bought a PS5 Pro to future proof myself, thanks.
>>695009075>muh souls shitThis shit is for anime and LNs you dumb cunt. Kadokawa have massive catalog.
I don't like rollslop anymore anyway
>>695009075>good company is buying shit companywhat is problem?
Tenchu Remake?
>>695009447Bloodborne 2
they are already putting everything on pc anyways
>>695009075NEVER EVER EVER GONNA HAPPEN
>>695009075>expectation More Bloodborne and Demon's Souls kino>reality Tranny Souls: cinematic experience edition
>>695009075If it were happening you wouldn't hear about it beforehand.
sony buys another studio to show shareholders "look we're a growing enterprise!" then trashes the studio.
>>695009075They are also buying Isekai Quartet and Sword Art Online.
>>695009075Didn't they already own aniplex?
Sony will just shut them down like they did with Japan studio
Grim if true
>>695009075>sony buying kadokawaHow? Kadokawa is literally bigger than sony
>>695009075Good we've had more than enough clunky souls garbage. about time for that shit to die.One stupid fad ruined "action games" for years.nothing "action" about you pressing an input and your pathetic laggy character completing the action 3 years later.
>>695009431>good company >completely and financially cripples themselves making a nigger for 9 years>every movie their film department makes flops and is low quality shit>hardware prices going up because of overpriced nigger game floppingKek
The problem is more how much Kado & Sony have in terms of anime rights. That should be more of a concern than Fromsoft
>>695014992Action games only got good when they took inspiration from Souls though. Like Nioh.
>>695015190that's not saying much when anime has been glorified ads for the source material and a lost cause since at least 2009 if not earlier
>>695009075Man, aren't we glad Microsoft was allowed to buy Activision. Next thing you know every development studio on the planet will be owned by the two
>>695009075As long as sony keeps releasing their games on PC I don't mind.
>>695015310feels like this is just going to make the westoid vidya industry crash even harder when gta6 inevitably doesn't save hardware sales of either console and by extension also doesn't save software sales of any studio
>>695015417GTA 6 is the one game that actually can sell consoles
>>695015528perhapsits not going to sell other games however
>>695009075Jesus Christ how horrifying
>>695015286Nioh is 1000x worse than Ninja gaiden.and souls shit is not action.
>>695009075Shadow of the erdtree proved to me that FROM is dead anyway. So it's not that big of a deal.
>>695009075are we hyped for concord souls?
>sony buying kodakawasony will destroy manga industry
>>695009075SONY FUCK OFFthey will just kill it
>PS6 already confirmed>Bloodborne 2 launch titlePlaystationGODS.....
FromSoft pulls consistent hits so it's only fair that some clueless western Sony exec forces Miyazaki to add DEI crap and slow walking sections.
>>695016493cant destroy what is already dead after WSJ being retards already raped to death
LGBT sisters...we won!
>>695016408You are late. Dark Souls 3 and Elden Ring already proved that, long before Eerdtree.
Bloodborne 2.......it's Bazztime
>>695009075you DO NOT want SONY to have a monopoly on the anime market. Look at American stage where Sony already basically has a monopolyLook at fucking Crunchyroll
Bloodborne was such a bad game holy shit not even stable 20fps lolwhats wrong with consoletrannies
>>695017029The game is on PC now anon. You may praise it
>>695016907I disagree. They were both good.ER, I would even say was great. But it had the obvious signs that it was on a downwards path.Then the DLC came out and took everything wrong with the main game, and doubled down on it.I hope it was just Tanimuras greasy hands that messed it up, and that their next game will be good. But it's just a hope, not an expectation.
>>695009075Sony is probably buying Kadokawa to prevent a hostile takeover from South Korean internet company Kakao
>>695017265>Kakaowasnt that the retards that basically killed kpop in less than 3 months by trying to push nigresses?
>>695009075>Sony (supposedly) wants to buy KadokawaFTFYIt has nothing to do with Playstation. Sony also owns Aniplex and their latest game is coming to Switch and PC only.It's all about Kadokawa's anime, manga and light novel assets.
>>695017335probablythese fucking gooks killed tachiyomi
>>695016493Kadokawa owns half a dozen decent magazines tops. The majority of shit they publish is isekai adaptations and romcoms.
>>695018291>is isekai adaptationsNot after Overlap happened and cucked kadokawa out of 90% of the post-konosuba hits.At this point kadokawa only has romcom slop.
>>695016560I AM LOCKED THE FUCK INPS5 PRO ON THE WAYTOO BIG TO RIG
bazz rollslop spinoff game soon snoybros
An actual tragedy. Fuck this gay earth.
>>695014167fucking brainley
Correct me if I'm wrong, would that mean that they will own ~83% of FS? I don't know how this company stuff works
>>695009075>acquiring Kadokawa means more Japanese slop PS exclusive titles*>*also available on PCit's a win-win solution.
>>695020096How is it a win if they turn every franchise into woke movies with whedon writing and californian voice acting
>>695020078They will own 100% automatically if merger happens.
>>695009075That 1 xbro will sure be angry with this news.Seriously, why buy them? You're not gaining any market share from them. MS already lost. Take your 30% cut and be happy
>>695009075>Sony isn *TALKS* to buy>OP says they're buyingLol.
>be relatively small company with extremely high social cohesion>get bought out>start new company with all of your employeesheh...nothin personnel kid
>>695009075why does sony want to control anime so badly
>>695020886because comics are dead as fuck and mamga/anime keep growing instead
>>695020886Why want to uglify anime too.
>>695020721Btw is this legal to do? I don't think even if they signed a non compete before it applies, right?
>>695020379>How is it a winThe talk is not done by SIE for starter.
>>695009075Doesn't this hinge on the fact that Sony is basically a foreign entity now? The japs have laws against those buying out japanese companies.
>>695009075>Sony is in talks to acquire KadokawaKek as if Bamco will let that shit happendoomposters are fucking retards
>>695020583They want bigger margins, console wars are irrelevant to the suits. Like CFO of Xbox said: "Why take 30% when you can take 70%."
>>695009075>"Ah, who cares! The games will still come to PC!"Well, from looking at the track record...>Sony forces massive budgets on their studios>Sony forces westernized DEI shit on their studios>Sony still attempts to force mandatory PlayStation Network accounts on their games>Every series owned by Sony has either become worse or movieslopIf this goes through, expect the next FromSlop game to be $90, take 8 years to make, be 20 hours long with 16 hours of cutscenes, and have the ugliest women you've ever seen.
>>695021251Sony Group is japanese company, subsidiaries don't matter.>>695021473They have no say in this.
>>695009075Can't wait for this california piece of shit faggots to go bankrupt
Doesn't Tencent have a sizable stake in FROM?
>>695014167>mexican hands type this
>>6950090751. Why would Kadokawa sell? Sony is not in a good position.2. If that happened it would be the end of From Software.They clearly tried buying From but were denied and only got 10% so they opted to buy Kadokawa instead. They must be really desperate to make this move.
>>695009075From where does Sony gets the cash?
>>695009075Lol are they that desperate
>>695021853from /a/>Japanese people believe Kadokawa asked Sony for help after South Korea's Kakao Corporation continued to aggressively buy more company shares. Kadokawa was in danger of becoming a Korean company.
>>695021948Welp, that's even shittier. Fucking Koreans ruining everything as always. Doesn't Japan have laws against that anyway?
>>695021948Becoming Korean after being Chink owned for a long time sounds more refreshing than giving up your life by commiefornia scum like Sony and dying in the process.
>>695009075Aren't they owned by the Chinks?
>>695015528This games gonna be remembered as the highest selling, and worst performing ever.
>>695009075cool now I can get troonslop with my rollslop
>>695022227Fromsoft will still be Bamco's bitch for a long time.
>>695009075I'd rather Sony go back to Japan first before even considering buying Kadokawa
>>695021785Too small to not automatically sell them with merger.
Isn't this illegal? Why? Sony has done nothing in their favor and has caused them to lose millions of sales.
>Back then they didn't want me, now I'm hot they all on me.I hope Kadokawa says no just to spite those faggots.
This is like crawling back to the abuser. Fucking idiots I hope their next game under performs and they file for bankruptcy.
>>695009296Okay but kadokawa still owns from soft
It should have been Konami instead then I would give a shit. Fromsoft is just a slop factory that only produces overpriced shovelware.
I hope anti-trust laws prevent this. Sony is already too big in the anime & manga market.
Depends entirely on what the FTC says, from what I've heard Sony Corporation is under a monopolization investigation by multiple countries (or more specifically, Primecap, RC&B, BoA, Blackrock and others)
>>695022438thissony shit all over it. if from didn't run to fatlus we may have never gotten a western release
>>695009075Sony was in talks to buy Bethesda and even Activision.It just means that Kadokawa wants to sell and they need to talk to everyone that wants or has the ability to buy them, Sony does not have the money to win this race at all. It'll probably be Te cent of all things.
>>695022579That's bamco you nog
>>695023183No, Kadokawa owns From. Bandai just publishes their games
>>695009075If this happens we'll never get an armored core game ever again. Snoy will lock them in the soullshit mines forever while increasingly pushing western politics onto the company until its games are unplayable shit.
>>695023389>finally got away from bandai>this happensGive them a fucking break, holy shit
>>695022882>if from didn't run to fatlus we may have never gotten a western releaseATLUS loves releasing obscure IPs, and think of how many IPs they've saved because Sony and Microsoft were huge faggots about what the market could possibly want.
Good thing we have an heir to fromsoftware already.The king is dead, long live the king!
>>695009075>Has a flagship franchise that has earned billions most likely >Selling itself to a company that blows the same amount just to shit the bed
i play 30 minutes of video games a day so at this point i can cycle through all the existing rollsloppers and be content on my pc foreverconsolecucks btfo
PC will NEVER EVER see another From gameIf From games become Sony Exclusives then PCTroons will HAVE to buy a Sony consoleThis has probably been there long play for a while now and the reason why there hasn't been a Bloodborne PC port yet PC has never been a more dead platform
Imagine all the lost sales, because snoy forces their stupid Account requirement on from's future games
>>695009075Yeah just like they bought Capcom, Square-Enix, Sega and Konami, right?These rumors are pure snoy copium from retards who can't seem to recognize patterns because of their buyer's remorse. It feels like an article pops up about Sony buying out a big studio every 25 minutes and never materializes yet some retards here seem to fall for it every time.
>>695009075lol expect future darksouls to have helldivers sony account autism
>>695024684still crying?
>>695024657Im still not buying playstation so i could play bloodborne
>>695009316
>>695024657snoy is desperately shoveling their shit onto pc and nobody has enough bad taste to buy it, your greatest hits don't even reach half of veilguard, and that is just sad
>>695009296>Kadokawa have massive catalog.All shit btw
>>695009501Best I can do is bloodrayne 2
>>695025068So, in other words, they’ll stop making PC ports. Sweet.
>Sony will just kill Fromsoft themselvesAm I living in a based timeline?
>>695023389they were already starting to get pozzed with some of the shit in erdtree
>>695024834>$3.6 billionHoly kek they really got scammed. What have they done with Bungie that has made them back even a fraction of that money? And what silver-tongued kike convinced them it was worth anywhere near that much? For reference, Disney paid around $4 billion to acquire fucking Star Wars.
Ah yes, more homogenisation of culture. In 50 years we will have two massive companies making one live service game each. Game A and Game 1. There will be no class divides, no one will care about gender/colour/sexuality etc, only which of the two games you play. You will play and you will be happy.
>>695024834people were too busy laughing at sony for buying a dead studio for such a ludicrous sum to be bothered by any potential games bungie might have made
>>695025502>implying nowadays you can
>>695024983Why Steam? All Sony "exclusives" come out on Steam anyway since Sony themselves have said that Playstation users don't make them enough money
>Sony finally ends rollslop and kills Fromsoft for goodBased. Keep weeding out the trash.
>>695025618maybe they thought they are getting halo with it
ITT:
>>695024657>>695025661>everybody being locked into our closed ecosystem for good games (that get worse over time) is a GOOD thing!kys corporate shill. seriously fuck off. I'M SICK OF EVERY GOOD GAME DEV BEING RUINED BY CORPORATE MERGERS AND GOING PUBLIC AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>Fromsoft will finally ACKkek
>>695025827>>695025068why do you keep bragging about getting to play playstation games years after they come out
>>695025941back to your cuck spider-man threads schizo, we like insomniac here
>>695009202>Just bought a PS5 Pro to future proofIt's over, anon. There's no future proofing for this one and it's not even worth it if you could>It will now take Fromsoft 10 years under Sony's """""Quality""""" Assurance>The dev team will be unrecognizable after key positions are transferred to Sony's DEI nepo hires>Sony will make sure it's pozzed as shit
>>695026143isn't this what playstation players do for xbox games? and even then it's like 3 xbox games not all of them? pc gets all playstation games

https://youtu.be/rQ28FcRePAo
I would have prefer the Tencent route ngl. They're more merciful than Sony.
>>695009075RIP to Fromsoft
>>695026627rebirth has been announced for pc though
steamies are already begging daddy Sony to be merciful lmao
>>695009075if snoy buys it I'm stealing their games from now on, no need to feel sympathy for the mega corporations
owari da
At least we don't have to worry about rollslop cancer for now. Thank you Sony.
Miyazaki will leave Fromsoft and make his own studio
>>695009075Pozzed Souls: Prepare to Troon
>>695009075If true, Sony just won every future console war
>>695009075>buy from because only they can make good games now>force them to pozz it up>the games are no longer good>???>lack of profit
>>695026887isn't a substantial percentage of the Fromsoft's valuation contingent on Miyazaki staying? Why the fuck would you buy From and have the man responsible for its success leave immediately.
>>695009075If they paid 3.6 billion for Bungie who was in the process of hemorrhaging their player count at the time of purchase then a company that has been constantly building success for the last decade has to be worth at least 20 billion minimum,, right?
>>695016408>>695016907Factual. That Irish fag matthewmatosis was actually right all along.
>>695026987They arent buying just from if its global Kadokawa purchase. Anime, other studios etc.
>>695009075I expect Europe to step in this time desu. Mostly cause if Sony ends up buying Kadokawa, they own 99% of the anime/manga industry when it comes to the west.
Based, Sony always wins!
Sony killing fromshitware will be the only good thing they've done in several generations.
>>695026939Japan Studio died. Fromsoft would most likely die under their rule so I guess if you hate Fromsoft then Sony has won the console war by putting them out.
>>695027130Good. Hopefully they ruin anime so all the incel retards will grow up.
>>695026987well look what happened to tango after mikami left
>>695026939Seeing how they kill everything they touch I find that unlikely.It'd be cool if this means we'll get Bloodborne quality content from them over and over now, but seeing what Sony has been doing with the PS5 I think I'll pass.
So if Fromsoft finally ropes and acks under Sony, will we get another Code Vein from Bamco?
>>695009075That would be genuinely awful. Kadokawa is one of the largest anime, manga and light novel publishers in the business if not the largest. Sony is one of their main rivals. Does Japan have a regulatory body like FTC? I can't imagine that Japanese government would be okay with Sony consolidating all these industries into a monopoly.
FromSoftware is not selling you dumb nigger
Tencent would have been much more safe choice. RIP.
>>695027252i refuse to have sex or even attempt to do so. I will not be a monkey that dances to your tune
>>695020721Thats a very good way to get sued into oblivion especially against Sony.
>>695009075>no ER2 for PCBros...

i don't understand where are angry xbots?
>>695027394They would have to buy back all their shares. Sony currently owns 16%, Tencent has like 20%, and Kadokawa owns the rest.
>>695014167No is not
Kadokawa doesn't fully own FromSoftware.
murder all tripniggers, no (You)'s btw
>>695015190I don't watch anime so it doesn't affect me. I do play souls games though.
>>695021948oh so it's Japanese racism against Koreans. They'd rather die at American hands. Interesting.
>>695025502I shudder to think how they'll grocery store auntie her look.
there is nothing worse on this planet than anime and video games so i see this as an absolute win
>>695025616"Women ruin everything" isn't exactly progressive
>>695027347It would be if they were desperate to compete with SK and Samsung.
I'm being reminded of a saying"Snoys don't have a favorite console, they just hate your's"
>>695009075Its the Xth time Sony is "buying" something
>>695009075Is the PlayStation USA and PlayStation Japan internal civil war back on?
>>695009075Great......Sony buys company ASony does nothing with company ASony shuts down company AThe PS5 has no games!
>>695027491>>695027720>>695027939Samefag retard.

>>695021948>Kakao Corporation continued to aggressively buy more company sharesaight, then justuhyou knowstop selling them fucking shares??Blacklist Korean traders??? How is this an actual issue hello???
>>695009075This has been a rumour for like a decade. Is this in any way more credible than the shit that was said in the past? Or is it just more of the Sonyfag-pandering rumour mill?
>>695028052They're going straight into the jaws of their doom. Sony never really liked them in the first place and will get rid of them as soon as they come back.
Sony seems to have been slowly backing down from californiafication anyway after the last few flops.
>>695015528mario kart
>>695009075Pls noFrom is the one dev who I buy their games at release and at full price
>>695020886>sony at large has a huge boner for anime and manga>playstation has a huge hate-boner for anime and mangaExpecting complete unity in a huge conglomerate is naïve and silly. But damn if Sony isn't exceptionally schizophrenic.
>>695028287Sure they have.
>>695028308Wii U
>>695028372They released Stellar Blade as a first party game, Concorde flopped so hard they started slashing divisions.
>>695028052If they're under Sony Music Entertainment Japan or merged into Aniplex then the priority will be Switch 2 > Windows PC > PlayStation.
>>695009161Sony ports their games to PC, it's over PSissy
>>695009075Kek they're gonna sabotage From and shut it down because muh gamer chuds like souls games.Rip From you had a good run
>>695009075>Kadokawa>FROMWho the fuck cares? Now PARASITE EVE is what REALLY matters.
>>695028562And how successful has that been?
>>695009075Sony is still clinging on dead trend, looks like. It has been proven time and time again that exclusivity doesn't work anymore. You don't make money from console sales. Live service gaming is how you make money but it's a high risk high reward, which Sony doesn't shit about live service, just look at Concord.
>>695009075This will be a disaster. Sony has lost its way with PlayStation and investments like Concord. They still have no idea why it failed and how to fix it. They surrendered control to their western activist offices and gutted the Japan studios.These large Japanese publishers have been flirting with DEI amd ESG policies when those have so clearly failed in recent times.None of this is good, and I hope the sale does not go through.
>>695028480>first partyThey don't own there studio, therefore its not first party.>>695028650Its not even console sales, they would much rather have people constantly subbed to PS+ for yearly FIFA/CoDs
>>695028506This, I don't even understand this fearmongering. The many divisions of Sony are not united. All the ones not named Sony Interactive Entertainment don't give a damn about Playstation
>>695028230Ok and? For me it's better if they just shut From down as long as they stop making games for PC.
>>695021948>>695022089>>695022096>>695027825>>695028141This shit is some made up crap from the fucking false flagging retard bikinischizo, you fucking retard. I can't believe people actually falling for this bullshit

>Xbox buys studios >Makes absolute trash with them>Lay off devs and shut down studios>Sony buys studios>Makes absolute trash with them>Lay off devs and shut down studiosNothing good will ever come out of this if it happens.
>>695028937Not that hard since he keep repeatings the same shit with the same pics
>>695028749The only reason worry about PlayStation exclusivity is if Sony are planning to shift PlayStation back under Japanese control. Or if Sony are planning a new portable system entirely Sony Japan's control using PlayStation branding. I think both are possible but unlikely right now.

Just as Jill Valentine will forever be canonically half-French and half-Japanese (and being "American" only via workplace and citizenship), so is Aya half-German and half-Japanese, born in Boston to a mixed immigrant family. This was from the day-one and it was never any woke or faggoty, because it was written well into the overall canonicity of the plot/story/scenario and characters' looks, mannerisms, and motivations/behavior.
>>695029172>Nothing goodLook at the big picture here, anon. There hasn't been a single game worth buying for 15 years. 15 fucking years. The more studios perish, the better off we'll be. No more shitty video games if no video games ever get made. Everyday i hope for a solar flare that fries all electronics and we can go back to smashing rocks togegher for fun.

i think this is bad for nintendo because if the japanese side of SIE takes control of this, they are in a fierce war with nintendo right now and are getting absolutely demolished by them in their home turf. so no fromsoft games on switch 2 or whatever. pc/xbox should be fine. with that being said, aniplex or whatever the fuck it's called makes games for the switch, even exclusively. so i don't know how this will pan out.
>>695027554>i´m pirating snoy (and other corpo) games since i understood how P2P worksso you have to wait for it to be ported to pc and then also to be cracked? brutal
>>695009075This is one of the cases where regulatory agencies should move in to block the deal. Just look at what Sony did to Funimation and Crunchyroll, the less of the industry they control the better.
>>695009075>Tarnished... ye must slide sideways through this narrow crack whilst we load assets>O! Tarnished! Press X, Square, Circle, and Triangle when prompted to avoid ye final death>Tarnished One, put down the controller and watch a cutscene for the next 45 minutes.Elden Ring 2 is about to be FIRE
>/v/ is always crying over how Sony ignored japanese games>Sony wants to buy a Japanese studio>/v/ complains Sony wants to buy them
>>695029569That's your opinion, I've been buying games every year, even if not as much as before.
>>695020886Because they are the jap enforcer of Blackrock. That's also how they still have the money to do this after losing the equivalent of the gross domestic product of a second world nation...twice. also why their actions aren't in the gutter after an entire year worth of flops and shitcanned projects.
>>695029671>Kadokawa makes billions of yen each year>Sony makes trillions of yen each year???
>>695029743>Commiefornia sony buying anything>GoodYou better buy the next Horizon Souls.
>>695029743if you think 2 sec (probably too long for you), you might comprehend that they don't know how to manage their jp studios, hence having them straight up buy a big studio just to mismanage and potentially ruin them is the problem.
>>695026939>If true, Sony just won every future console warHow is Concord doing?
>>695009202>he bought a no games box >the somehow is future proofing himself for games
>>695029569Card En Ciel released 3 weeks ago and Divine Flamefrit this week. The problem is that you are a nigger that only plays AAA slop
>>695009075This is because of the retarded PC Elden Ring lawsuit and Bloodborne being emulated on PC isn't it?
>>695029743more like>sony is gay and retarded now (see pride floats)>they want to make everything just as gay and retarded as them>endgame is a gay retard singularity that they have somehow calculated will manifest a gorillion dollars directly into their profit marginsif it wasn't for the gay retard hyperfixation they have now, i'd say sony could buy whatever the fuck they wanted
Sony wouldn't be merciful and would kill Fromsoft for good the second they get that studio on their jewish hands. But hey that's a win for some people on this board.
>>695029940Retarded nigger Sony is based in Tokyo. This is Sony buying Kadokawa, not SIE
>>695009075>From games are going to get even worselmao
>>695030157>This is the logic the so1nys have been using since the PS3!The next good Sony console is just like the perfect socialist utopia, it's just one more try away, trust me brah
>>695030184No because this is them taking so much anime/manga/LN marketshare that the game industry side are just a bonus.
>>695020886it makes lots and lots of money and they basically have a monopoly on it nowcrunchy is like the only streaming service that actually turns a profit
>>695014992Even if fromsoft dissolves tomorrow the genie is out of the bag. Neowiz has already surpassed fromsoft. Nexon's khazan is at least on par with fromsoft.
>>695009075>Chadokawa>being bought by Phonythere goes anime
>>695030273guess who owns SIE
Are Spike Chunsoft, Acquire and Enterbrain are going to later be shut down once Sony buys them?
>>695030226More like an undustry wide choke on videogame culture that will result in children growing into the woke demografic they want. Sadly they forgot one thing, kids don't do what the adults order them to do, especially when those adults are lame as hell.
>Sony finally kills Fromsoft cancerYou should be grateful that they're doing this.
>>695030541>Acquire and Enterbrainwho
>>695009431>shit company buying good companyftfy
>Sony might own kancolle That would be funny
>>695030670Acquire is the developer behind Mario & Luigi Brothership and OctopathEnterbrain is the developer behind the RPG maker series.
>>695030273>Doesn't know basic shit>Calling anyone else retardedLol lmao
the only question is will the Bloodborne PC port ever reach my hands.
>>695009202The next fromsoft game will be on PS6, have fun waiting
>>695009075Buy it, I don't care.What was the last good thing they made? Lodoss War?
>>695030839Sony hates that game so much that they shut down their studio. Once Fromsoft gets into their hands they'll shut them down as well. Bloodborne will be just abandonware at this point.
>>695028562*in 2 years**within 6 months of port, sequel is announced
Say goodbye to any future AC game.
>>695030839buy an xbox

>>695009075This sucks. I wish ms and ps would stop doing this. I say this as a primarily ps user. Every time this happens, the games coming out get worse.
>>695030839Not in a million years since the source was lost and Sony hates Fromsoft will all their heart.

>>695032047Don't reply to me wojak, consolewarring subhuman filth. Kill yourself.
Is it SIE specifically or Sony the overall conglomerate? If it's the latter then we'll basically just have another Aniplex that's left alone while it makes money.
>>695032064Watch /v/ suddenly pretend like it didn't jerk off Fromsoft for a decade when it happens
>>695031892>is this going to be another Bungie?Despite the clickbait titles they're buying a gigantic anime/media corporation that also happens to own FROM. This isn't a massively overpriced one trick pony.That being said I'm not sure why modern Sony would buy an anime company. They've done their best to alienate that crowd for years.
>>695032209>that's left alone while it makes money.>Aniplex>Left alone
How do they even plan to do this? With imaginary money?

>>695032296it is certain that it will happen?
>>695009075do it, rollslopware "games" are trash anyways, i just want to see PCtroons and Snoys killing each other
>>695031842because apparently they're trying to fight off a takeover from some korean company who've been buying up their shares in recent years. if anything this is just posturing to make that company scared to further pursue a takeover. usually these deals aren't revealed till the day they reach an agreement. but it's odd that it's being publicly reported there are talks. so it suggests something out of the ordinary, and that they want this publicity for whatever reason.
>Fromslop will cease to exist in my lifetimeThis is bad because?

Sad day for gaming if this happens desu. This is worse than the MS buyouts.
>>695009075It won't happen, Sony tried to acquire a bunch of shit but it didn't pan out. This one is even worse because it'll just cement them as a monopoly in anime/manga, this shit will never ever pass.
>>695029174>korea and china are is the protoss/eldar of realityWhat a fucking thing to say.Anyway, I've seen retarded posts in this style all over /v/ when wukong dropped. I wonder if those fags use some shitty mtl or try to write in their own engrish. Even google translate is better than this.

>>695009075Good, now they can finally not pay attention to Bloodborne completely.
>>695032820The things one has to read sometimes
>>695032939This is just an extreme example. If you want another, I actually opened a Mario and Luigi: Brothership thread and one of the first five posts was "Fromsoft makes rollslop", completely isolated for no reason. They're everywhere. Go make a post now in any thread about dark souls and how good it is and see if you get a reply.
>>695016907You mean Shit holes 2 newfag
List all the subsidiaries and franchises that will go along with it for me to care.I only cared about Lodoss War, which is a dead franchise btw.

What's this about Rollslop?
Why do people think this would make them start releasing PlayStation exclusives when Sony's own anime subsidiary (which is where they would be putting Kadokawa) does not make games for the PlayStation at allhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aniplex#Published_games
>>695033731Because /v/ is retarded
>>695009075Doesn't Tencent have a stake at this company? How the fuck does Sony even have the money for this acquisition?
>>695033731now they will
>>695033731It's not about exclusives, it's gonna make my daddy Grummz seethe.
>>695033698
>>695033731Anon, demoralization shills literally get paid for this shit.That and snoys are that stupid and desperate to claim any win they can possibly imagine.
>>695024834Sony loves burning money
>>695032371yes, aniplex is an independant divisionotherwise they wouldn't be involved in so much random shit like video games when sony already has sie, it's really funny actually how sie has been struggling to create a mobile division while aniplex makes billions with this shit
>>695009202You're not going to see the consequences of this until PS6, whatever they're developing now is almost certainly too far along for Sony to come in and kill the Xbox port.
>>695034084SIE would certainly BEG for fromsoftware and there would be no reason to not just give it to them.
>>695009075That would be a monopoly. No way it goes through. Kadokawa already owns most anime, devs, and LNs
>>695034473It depends how antitrust works in Japan. They might just not care about it since Sony has been acquiring anime shit left and right.
This has been a snoyjeet cope for years now. Never ever, Xbox can easily pay up triple what Sony can offerNever ever lol

>>695034869>>695034956Cope. Never ever. See you December 3rd.
>>695034681xbox only buys in bulk now. if they acquire anyone it'll be sega or square enix. there was that bloomberg report from a few years ago where MS went to every publisher in japan and asked them about the potential for acquisition. who knows what kind of list they've written up based on that info but i bet after the abk thing is finally wrapped up, they'll be going after japanese publishers. most likely sega imo because they seem to heavily favour sega games on gamepass like RGG games, atlus etc.

>>695009075doesnt Sony still release everything on PC? Literally whats the difference besides Xbox getting cucked I guess, if they even exist next gen

>>695009075YES!!!!!!
>>695035743Acquisitions kill off almost every studio that is involved.

>>695035975They didn't buy CHADoei, so they're not.
>>695036514They gave their entire rights to Souls to niKadokawa, they don't give a damn. they're just as worse as Sony buying them out so who cares
>>695035702Microsoft already tried to buy Sega during the ABK fiasco and Sega turned them down
>>695036520They didn't buy Toei... yet.
>>695035947nah i think exclusives suck. i don't care for them. i'd rather just have a single platform that's compatible with my favourite controller and where i can play with my friends. i don't like the artificial gatekeeping. this isn't the late 90s/early 2000s where exclusives were exclusive because of hardware differences. it's purely for monetary gain nowadays which benefits nobody. sony poked the bear by refusing to stop fucking over microsoft even when xbox was at its lowest and it forced microsoft's had according to their court testimony, e.g. they bought bethesda literally only because sony tried to buy them and make bethesda games exclusive. it's retarded. just let everyone play where they want to play.
>Xbox about to get 2 exclusives >Snoys got Helldivers 2, the biggest flop in gaming history, a $60 tech demo that flopped, SH2 demake which flopped, and the piss5 flop which to no surprise flopped>Multiple snoy cope threads up at any given time days before Stalker 2Hmmm...me smells cope
>>695036720forced microsoft's hand*
Huge waste of money. Souls is big but it's not billions of dollars big. Elden Ring did 25m sales, but these games are now gonna take 6+ years to make. So that's like 4 million sales a year. They'll never make the money back.
>>695036646They're not buying Toei, period.
>Microshit: Buy only washed up has-been studios where any actual talent has already left and that haven't made a good game in years if not a decade.>BASED Sony: Buy a studio after their most critically acclaimed and commercially successful game ever, true unlimited potential.CuckBox shills, how is Phil's MicroDick CocksBox so flaccid and useless?
>>695036847They just need to partner up with Dr Uckmann. They already were creatively bankrupt enough to partner up with GRRM.
>>695009075This legitimately kills Tenchu forever.
As long they're not buying THE GOAT, i don't care.

What about stuff like art books? If Sony acquires Kadokawa, will Kadokawa still be allowed to publish art books for games that aren’t on the PS, like the Xenoblade artbooks?
>>695037151If the acquisition goes through, Kadokawa will most likely continue to operate as an independent property like Aniplex
>>695037002Gunbike *gasp* TWOOOOOOO
>>695037151Yes
>>695037309If the acquisition goes through they'd have too much control over animeIt needs to be taken away so it can be good again
I highly doubt it because that would 100% be a monopoly. Sony would own the vast majority of anime distributors in the world. They already own every big US distributor
If Kadokawa sells, all eyes should be on Square Enix next because they're one of the last big anime/manga publishers left not owned by Sony
>>695037068I thought we broke up monopolies
>>695037141sony anyplex is doing the acquisition nigger, stop falling for fearmongeringwhat's more this was done to save kadokawa from a gook feminist cult company taking over it by force
>>695037472Not at all, other large publishers still exist and Sony doesn't control licensing
>>695037491anime is shit enough already without sony entertainment a US corporation having complete control over it
>>695037628Sony Television doesn't control the anime holdings
Even if that were the case (it won't be, they'll offload some shares), look at Aniplex, they treat their own console like a secondary platform. Sony's literally going to go third party after smelling the cash just like Microsoft lmao
>>695037546everyone has an interest in sqenix. nintendo has numerous collabs with them and won't let them go so easily, and MS have been cozying up to them recently too by getting some ports and also going on stage with the new CEO and shit. i think that could be a massive bidding war if it came to it.
tanking console company in talks to buy successful video game developer? only a tard or someone who truly did not care would agree to that
>>695038040>video game developer?Not only that, Kadokawa is a manga publishing giant. Hell it's more likely SIE gets cut out of the deal entirely.
>>695037821>NintendoNintendo loses nothing if Sony buys SE as Sony already allows their publishers to make Switch games>MicrosoftMicrosoft would have made an attempt by now if they were serious
List all good onemoo/mango/tokusatsu Kadokawa properties and IPs which Snoyny could either rejuvenate and resurrect, or completely ruin, by making gayms out of them.I'll start:Parasite Eve, Tenchu (Acquire), Shield Hero, Sakamoto, Uzaki-chan, Boogiepop Phantom, Gamera, Steins Gate, Kill La Kill, Eureka Seven, Azumanga, X, SLAYERS, Silent Mobius, to name the few.
At this point Sony != PlayStation.Sony is after the anime/manga IPs rather than the videogame IPs, because PlayStation is pretty much divorced away from Sony at this point.
>>695038107reminds me of when microsoft offered to buy nintendo
If it's some japanese branch buying it I would expect forom soft games on more platforms out of fucking spite to the california sony branch
>>695038382>PlayStation is pretty much divorced away from Sony at this point.They always have been. SCE has autonomy, much like Sony Music and Sony Pictures. They're all separate entities. The "at this point" is incredibly stupid. At this point was 30 years ago.
>>695038382It's/v/, fags here are too retarded to separate one from the other. Retards here still call Sony an American company despite the headquarters being in Tokyo
>>695015301That and merch, specially on the mecha department.
>>695038291>Nintendo loses nothing if Sony buys SE as Sony already allows their publishers to make Switch gamesthey wouldnt lose out on much, they would continue as-is because soinix hasn't made a system seller since arguably FF X

>>695031536>the source was losthow the fuck does this shit even happen? how retarded do you have to be?>>695031396kek
>>695009075Awww look, they buying more japanese studios to kill!
>>695042576I said >As long as it's not a Chinese company being them I'm ok with it.You said>You said Chinks can't do shit.Xhao, learn to comprehend English before flipping out like that and I still have no fucking clue what you're even saying. Is your translator broken?
>>695041605nothing would fundamentally change if snoy had bought crapcom at this point but fromsoft will only go down the shitter if snoy acquired them
>>695041885>bloombergI can't read the full article and the headline has been changed, but they only reported on it going off of Reuters' report, they don't seem to have their own source.
>>695040141AAA gacha like genshit has been a stagnating market since the covid bubble popped and by now it's a fully dead market hoyo keeps actively trying to kill, there's no point.That and FGO still makes gorillions as-is, so it's pointless to change it.
>>695042734Reuters are only reporting talks. Nikkei also released a report earlier saying talks are in the early stages. Nothing is guaranteed at this point in time. If anything, the people who leaked it are either trying to stop the deal to stay independent, get more money for the deal by introducing other bidders so Sony bids more, or are trying to prevent Sony from winning the bid by getting another, richer company to enter and outbid Sony. Notice how pretty much every acquisition up to this point came out of nowhere, except this. There are ulterior motives behind the revelation of these talks.
>>695041605It's a thing but it's the main JP branch of sony that's doing it to save kadokawa from a hostile feminist gook takeover.It's not SIE snoy.
>>695043042>There are ulterior motives behind the revelation of these talks.yeah, trying to get some other mongrel to buy instead of main sony
He's right you know.
>>695043042Wouldn't be surprised if kikes are trying to help the gooks fuck kadokawa over at this point, especially after the payment processor attack early this year, which kadokawa refused to bend over for, and suddenly out of nowhere some "russian" hacker attacked them.
>>695043169>>695043272honestly weird how desperate are kikes getting these last 2 years and more so the past 4 or so monthswhat changed?
>>695009075snoy cant afford them
>>695040042snoy is more western than japanese at this point
seems kinda sudden, i mean why would they sell 30% or whatever it was in From to Sony and Tencent when a year later they talk about selling the entire companydoes this really have to do with that gook company slowly buying up shares?
>>695043698>at this pointSIE has been westoid since before they moved the HQ to trannyfornia anon
>>695030541>Spike ChunsoftDon't give a fuck about the other two companies but man... I wish Nintendo would swoop in and, at least, make a play to get SC.
Bloodborne never ever because they're just going to kill Fromsoft and get away with it. Sony doesn't give two shits about it.
>>695009075I can't wait for Tarnished to be a gritty-and-tired-of-life-but-secretly-good-and-caring dad going on a journey to link-the-not-fire-shrines for the sake of his dead wife's son
>>695021473Dude,Sony literally gave money to fromsoft to buy elden ring IP from bandai namco and it was giving them more money to become a self publishing developer
>>695043702>does this really have to do with that gook company slowly buying up shares?here's a quick TLDR for you>gookslop started to collapse because they started pushing nogs on kpop, their anime adaptations are all flops, their gacha is in the process of killing itself, people are exiting GAAS which kills their MMOs, and their webtoon slop is so generic even AI may have better plots at this point>the feminist cult in gookland is seeing the sinking ship>they are trying to either take over kadokawa to save themselves, or take down some part of japan with them, most likely the latter because gooks are too incompetent to make anything goodthis is why the main sony branch is aiming to buy kadokawa instead
>>695043952Wonder how long it'll take before it finally sinks in and normalfags will realize how much Kratos has been emasculated and castrated in nuGoW.
>>695043952Just call it divorced cuckold simulators anon.
>>695016493reminder kadokawa execs killed kemono friend, a highly profitable new franchise OUT OF SPITE>I think the anime would fail, so no budget for you>what do you mean you made billion out of that 50 cent I gave to you?>you are fired, I will kill kemono friend personally now just because I said it would fail
>>695043698It's a Japanese company and it will always be. Them catering to the Western market seems like an evolution in their book, but a devolution in yours. The company is still inherently Japanese.
>>695022861They are 2 Japanese companies and Kadokawa basically works only in Japan and sell their rights to other companies for the distribution outside of the countryOnly the Japanese government can do something about
>>695028642Successful enough that Sony has been porting most of their games. What you consolefags fail to understand is that most games these days are made either with Unreal or Unity, both which are extremely simple to port on PC. Theres little to no extra cost in entering another big gaming market, so the risk is also very low.
Didn't they say they hated working with Sony on Bloodborne as much as the liked making it?
>>695044156Don't bother with facts here. Retards will ignore them
>>695044227It's another PC shitter who thinks Sony putting games on their platform means anything to console users
>>695024834Funny thing is that Kadokawa is like 1.5 billion cheaper than Bungie and they have more business outside of fromsoft....bungie are scammers lol
Sony will assassinate them and we don't have to worry about their sloppa again. They will agree to their death sentence.
>>695009075This time for sure
>>695043852can't wait for shiren the wanderer to be black and gay.
>>695044125>killed kemono friendoh nnoooooanyway
>>695026887You think that he's not going to get a shit ton of money and shit if he stays?
>>695038357I genuinely want a Gamera game made by team ICO
Theses cucks will bow to their deaths before Koreans.
>>695044505The actual franchise/series doesn't matter, it's the old farts making bad decision out of spite that makes me mad.
>>695027695Well yeah,Sony owns 14%,tencet 15% and Kadokawa the rest
>>695044448can't wait for shiren the wanderer to be black and gay.We might not reach that step. I think SC would be on thin ice from the jump desu. One flop and it's over pretty much, so basically the next AI: The Somnium Files is going to be their last game if it releases after the M&A.
>>695044353Your console is a literal toy.What’s the point when you can play the same games but with better graphics and performance on PC? Owning a console in the modern era is completely pointless, ESPECIALLY putting down 700+ for PS5 pro when you can make a more powerful PC for that amount.
>>695009628The demon souls remake was awful. No more blue point
>>695044758I own both. Stay mad, poorfag.
>>695044886good morning saar
>>695029295But bandai namco owns the dark souls IPThere's a reason why Sony gave money to fromsoft to buy the elden ring IP...they have no plans to go back to dark souls
>>695044758A console does more than play games these days so calling it a toy is a cope and I don't give a shit about slightly better performance when I can buy a console once and not have to worry about anything else compared to PC. Once again you shitters keep talking about your platform as if console users care about you when they don't
>>695044693>AI: The Somnium Filesdo they make those specifically for the california office? i've never seen a gayer game in my life. after witnessing a child jerk off the fag community to a gay drag queen, i was out permanently. there's no path to recovery from that.
>>695044353>who thinks Sony putting games on their platform means anything to console usersYet here you are crying like a bitch.
>>695044156Yes, Sony are a Japanese company, but PlayStation is run out of California and the guy in charge of it is Dutch. If they acquire Kadokawa they'd probably be put under Aniplex, which is actually significantly more successful than PlayStation at selling games in Japan.
>>695044943Sony has been trying to buy kadokawa for years you retard. Fromsoft is just a bonus
>>695045009Projection, we aren't a monolith you dumb faggot
>>695045119>snoygger pretends he isn't a cultistkekaroo
>>695044943Kadokawa's vidya studios are just added bonuses, that's not what Sony really gives a fuck about. As ass backwards as it sounds, PlayStation (SIE) ≠ Sony when it comes to acquisition talks
>>695025068Anon, doesn't this just reinforce his point that PC ain't working?
>>695009075This is sony music making the buy, the intention is to capture kadokawa's publishing. With this purchase sony would own probably >51% of the anime and manga market
>>695045227PC works fine when you release simultaneously, as they found with Helldivers (before they shot themselves in the foot forcing PSN into it). Nobody is going to pay full price for a late game.
>>695045515Anime yes, but Shueisha are still bigger in manga.
>>695044592Actually, fuck it, can you imagine that?>Plays like an inverse Last Guardian where you control Gamera as he tries to guide children to safety while protecting them from Gyaos and other assorted monsters>Doing stuff like letting them ride on your back, shielding them from harm with your shell, lifting up obstacles like giant boulders, and using your body to create bridges for them to walk across. And in turn, they will help you by healing you up by giving you fire or warning you of stuff outside of your vision range>Actual combat system that makes you feel like a mighty and titanic beast as you bludgeon, slash, and burn your way through swarms of Gyaos along with enormous and iconic foes like Guiron, Zigra, Jiger, Legion, or Iris.>All while it’s presented in the empty yet beautiful style of team ICO’s usual fantasy worlds
>>695030150Concord was Sony's first in house day-and-date PCsister game. I hope those years of "niche trash", "one and done", "where's Sony's heckin arena slop?" FUD was worth it.It's not like I told you this would happen after taking one look at LawBreakers, Paragon, Battleborn and everything else that's piled up in the live service graveyard since. kek
>>695045119All snoytrannies are faggots though. Resetera is a sony fanboy site which says a lot.
>>695045227this shit came out a year later after all the hype was dead and everyone found out it was a boring walking simulator with 11 hours of cutscenes
>>695045009>DA BLACK MARKETwhy are nogs glorifying scalpers?
>>695032195Kek
>>695046162it's probably some SEAmonkey where ps doesn't sell, going by the weird monkeyrunes in the name
>>695045515>the intention is to capture kadokawa's publishingthe intention is saving kadokawa from a hostile takeover from a feminist cult gook company
>>695044758>ESPECIALLY putting down 700+ for PS5 pro when you can make a more powerful PC for that amount.This is when I figured you were baiting, you almost got me.
>>695045698Helldivers is all but dead though and you can't tell me the other stuff is working out.
>>695046776when does fairgames even release
>>695009075This is big and this is really bad
>>695038382Nintendo should buy back the PlayStation brand.
>>695038357Kill Le Kill is Kadokawa? No wonder it's shit
>>695045072So? The post says that with sony they are going to force fromsoft to make a "dark souls IV" and fromsoft doesn't own the IP
>>695047319its shit because trigger is shit, not because of kadokawa
>>695046776kek it's literally fucking over for marathon
>tarnished, you must bend your knee to the stunning and barve Queen Quanteesha of the Africas Between
