>>738712232BarrierStation 5 strikes again.
>>738712232That exclusivity probably fucked up a lot of their sales.
>>738712336Yeah considering how well it did on steam i cant imagine how a day one release would have fared
>>738712232Gotta have to make an interesting story first for that.
>>738712371The story is not that bad. But it just feels like an amalgamation of other stories that did it better.
>>738712232SB2 will be AI made.
>>738712360Idk why any game company would want their games to be exclusive now instead of releasing it on every device and earning more money. Exclusivity worked better in the past when everyone had a console.
>>738712232Publishing the first one with Sony was a mistake
>>738712232Would this means no more censorship? I remember some outfits getting censored in later updates probably due to sony.
>>738712448Because Sony handled the advertisement and support of the game for them. If SB crashes it sends diagnostic messages to sony and not every dev has the resources to staff a entire division dedicated to that kind of stuff especially across multiple consoles and OSes.
>>738712232>actively exploring further platform expansionUh-oh. Someone’s gonna freak out!
>>738712371The game sold well not because of story in the first place. Also at OP, ShiftUp is fucking massive nowadays since 2022. They are obviously not Mihoyo big, but they can do what they want with the NIKKE money they have
ZERO GAMES
>>738712595Afaik, Sony practically helped them make the game real since it was the studio's first console game. Which is why it borrows a lot of mechanics from other Sony games. It even got unique PS5 dual sense controller exclusive features just made for the game.
>>738712683It actually has a special driver for both the dualsense and ds4 that utilizes all the features of both without steam or any other background process.
It will probably feel more like ShiftUp game then, NIKKE , to be exact. Stellar Blade feels like a korean game but you can still feel it being held back by Sony somehow. With this I am expecting them to dial up the drama, whacky side characters and more focus on mechs and guns.
>>738712232being free from the snoysorship demands they can go all out now
>Stellar Blade 2>New Mikami gameShiftup chads, we won.
>>738712448If you need cash to get a game out the door, you might take an exclusivity deal. But Shift Up was flush with gacha money. What they needed before IPO was to show that they had broader capabilities and weren't just dependent on the whims of whales. They needed those release month numbers more than the cash.
>>738712683Suddenly a lot of my issues with the game make sense lol. Stellar blade is a compound of game design trash
>>738712336>>738712360Yall lucky it wasn't as raped as SE raping most of their titles by putting it on Playstation exclusive for a year, then epic exclusive for a year then finally steam
>>738714537the thing is that people, or chinks to be specific, actually wanted SB on PC. Nobody really cares about Final Fantasy besides uncs.
>>738712232Sony still owns the PS5 platform, they still have to do as they say in terms of censorship demands.
>>738712939Sounds good to me.
>>738712232very pog. looking forward to the second game for more outfits and another great soundtrack. one of the few singleplayer games i enjoyed recently after getting by the initial jankyness of the combat.
>>738712232i really cant wait for playstation to push more exclusives only to end up with the absolute shittiest games possible, as it is already the case anyways
>>738712232Bump for interest.
>>738712232>Stellar blade 2>Wants to flop even harderlmao
>>738712336I could be wrong or misremembering but I think I read somewhere that they were very disappointed by the timed exclusive deal after seeing Wukong Black Myth doing so well on Steam. I think Square Enix have said similar things in regards to the FF7 remakes?
Shift Ups loves AI so I fear that the game is going to be AI slop
>>738712360That and Nikke being mobile game so studio doesn't have any exclusivity allegiance.
Day one on PC
>>738712232if this has denuvo again you can count me and my wallet out. I still haven't played the first game because I refuse to install that Kernal level malware
>>738718415k bye.
>>738712232Isn't the director of this a massive AI Chud?
>>738718808Game is about AI designs so I don't see the problem.
>>738713342I'm not so sure about them being flush with gacha money at that point in time. They took the exclusivity deal in 2021, before they actually released Nikke for mobile/PC (2022/2023 respectively).At the time, all they had was Destiny Child, which was likely circling the drain at that point, having been shut down two years later due to being a money-sink.
>>738712232>reach a global audience
>>738712232>Stellar Blade 2 for the Switch 2 is now a possibilityYES! FUCK ME SIDEWAYS AND CALL ME BETTY, YES!Now I only need them to launch the first one for the switch 2 as well and I'm set
>>738719280How's Mixtape doing?
>>738712232Kojima will be next to drop Playstation timed exclusivity, right?
>>738719628I bet Sony is gonna drop playstation before Kojima has a chance to pull that off, Playstation is not surviving past 6, the age of consoles is over, Microsoft got the memo and drifted off to the pre-built PC market, Nintendo went to the portable-hybrid market, Sony is the only one that still lingers in the conventional console market
>>738717874That’s just a market correction retard. It was overvalued at IPO.
>>738719608You're brown, pajeet, tranny, ywnbaw, btfo, based god, newfag, winrar, dilate, get outta the dog house. Did I miss any?
>>738718415Not my or their problem.
>>738719945Holy goy.
>>738712232they want control over marketing instead of sony so they can nikke the shit out of it with booth babes and more.
>>738712448They only system that benefits from exclusivity is Nintendo cause of the brand recognition they've built up with rock hard, unshakable IPs that sell on name alone and by extension sells systems. Sony should just give up trying. Or at the very least it should stop trying to have it's cake and eat it too and either go full multiplat or go full exclusivity cause clearly the half assed middle ground isn't working.
>>738712941Retard
>>738712232didn't the devs just go all in on Sloppa?Sony probably kicked their ass to the curb and now are just saying they're self publishing as a coverupgood luck funding the game although if it's full sloppa now I guess they won't need funding good riddance
>>738721763There was literally 0 AI usage in the making of this game, what Sony did was censor the shit out of their game, for example there was supposed to be a late game unlockable suit that was basically a v string with nipple pasties, of course Sony coerced them into removing that from the game
>>738712595>If SB crashes it sends diagnostic messages to sonyretard
>>738721664seething snoy
That's fine, Sony is done funding PC games and told Kojima if he wants funding Physint can't go to PC
>>738723486You thinking me calling you a retard is cause I'm a snoy and not because what you said was incredibly fucking stupid is why you're a retard. Retards as always lack the self awareness to realize that they're retarded.
People focusing on the sex appeal makes it a shame that nobody gives SB credit for having one of the best OSTs of any game this past decade.
>>738717874>muh stocksretard
>>738718415Do you know?
Smart. Snoy tried to censnoyr ShiftUp and crash their studio like Snoy has crashed the whole American vidya industry. fucking Nintendo is less puritan, putting it on PC & Switch2 is the way to go
>>738724506Least subtle tendie falseflag.
>>738712475Who else would publish it? It sucks that Shift Up accepted Sony's offer but the way things were going the then named Project EVE seemed to be dead in the water, Shift Up was literally begging for developers to apply and publishers to call them for a deal; for some reason their biggest shareholder, Tencent, wasn't willing to publish it themselves.Sony took the offer and Shift Up looked up to them as saviors of Project EVE, becoming Stellar Blade in the end.Now that Shift Up apparently grew enough to publish the sequel by themselves, they better let loose and deliver an unrestrained Stellar Blade 2 or else whoever claimed Sony was holding them back will not be vindicated.
>>738723723>gif >woman with stiff arms on her side >dude with deadpan face expression>hands not even playing with her tits >cock obviously too short to be able to ever do standing sex position with a taller woman t. i don't even watch pornWhoever made this is just a cumbrain moron who never talked to a womeme lmao
>>738724765The reason they got Sony to publish it in the first place was because ex Sony President Shuhei Yoshida saw SB and thought it looked good and Sony should publish it.
>>738724506Accurate
>>738712232Looking at how Platinum can't even publish Bayonetta on their own, it shows you gotta have a profitable business on the side to grow your company so you can pursue more ambitious projects later, in Shift Up's case it is gacha and MMO.
>>738725095You really can't survive in this industry as a freelancer dev
>>738724016no games lol
>>738712232Genuinely nothing of value was lost. The game is mediocre trash and only has "Eve is really hot" going for it.
>>738727035It's going multiplat though? Everyone gained something.
>>738727035>ESL monkey can't even read
>>738721570Sony killed all their exclusives to chase western movie games, its too late for them
>>738725095I think Bayonetta is a Nintendo IP, they just keep developing 'cause it's profitable.
>>738712448Think of it like totalitarian "Perception of Power" shit.You need to sell the most consoles to be perceived as "On top".Exclusives are an easy way to get people to buy your console, ergo exclusives are desirable for console publishers.
>>738729628Bayonetta is a Sega IP, iirc, but Nintendo owns the games: Bayo 2, 3 and Cereza
>>738712371No they don't, no one bought this game because of the story or combat, they bought it because Eve is hot, everything else is secondary. Why do you think it had such a big launch on PC unlike the other late ports from Playstation? It's solely because people were waiting for the PC release for modding
>>738712232Cool, now they're free to censor even more stuff
