>Sony owns Bloodborne and Demons Souls>never tries to use The Hunter or Slayer of Demons as mascots despite these games being lovedAre you telling me Aloy and Ellie are more popular and iconic than these guys?
>why does commiefornia pozstation want to memoryhole SIEi wonder
>>736526225Aloy is in everything because some individual CEO at Snoy has her as his personal waifu, that's the only thing that makes sense. Like how Steve Danuser in World of Warcraft kept making everything about his waifu Sylvanas
>>736526225Miyazaki probably has final say in usage of his characters and brandingslop "mascot" corpo behavior is contrary to his aesthetic vision. It would corrupt the product to use characters from the game outside of specific relevant contexts. I recall reading something along the lines of he's dedicated to portraying all of his characters with "dignity."
>>736526225Sony's strategy for this generation was a "diverse and resilient lineup of live service titles". Sony lost, Xbox lost and Nintendo of course won because they still make exclusive video games meant to be played by players.
>>736526406i literally don't know a single person with a switch 2 and i can't name a single game for it either
Sony has used them in several first party games thoughThey are in at the very leastHZDGhost of TsushimaAstro Bot
>>736526912I can. Has a rep for being the consoomer of the group so it was expected.
>>736526225They're probably in getting a greenlight from FromSoftware not because they have to, but because they don't really feel like burning bridges with them. FromSoftware could either stop working with Sony Interactive Entertainment, or flat-out refuse to ship any newer of their games for PlayStation consoles.
>>736526373It's probably my disappointment talking, but I swear, Sora'a reveal for Smash Bros. was supposed to the Chosen Undead, but Miyazaki said no.
