Sony already is, releasing PC games and some games for other consoles, such as MLB and LEGO Horizon. It's just a matter of time to reach MS's level.they will become Third Party, just like Xbox

I mean, I don't think anyone else wouldn't want From Software to keep making their 20M-seller Souls games, but if they can have a separate team making other stuff and it goes just fine, why not? Guerrilla just released a Lego game with a budget of like $10M, it's okay.Housemarque always was a niche studio, they never made games that sold 20 mil copies like fromsoft, making niche games for hardcores was always their purpose.
At least Sony isn't closing down studios with no logical reason after the studio made the most sucessful and innovative games the platform has seen in a while.
To be fair you can already do that but in Sonys version it will be so in your face and the whole point of its existence that youll be taken out of the game.Elden Ring 2: You play as a lesbian tarnished.
Or never!I expect they'd still put them on PC 1-2 years after launch. Otherwise not much would change.
Well it's working well for them so far (I kid, but revenue wise it's a good thing they did)If Sony pulls this off, this probably opens another round of acquisitions for MS....
There's no benefit or need for it to happen. Sony moneyhats games all of the time, so what need is there for them to own From? Just because you're a cheerleader for their plastic box?
The more companies being bought up, the worse.
Really nothing is a Pro here, From Software doesn't need Sony for making better games because Sony is inferior (yes, it is) and even in job security they can't even stand on their own, yet From can easily... If From Software doesn't make better games technically is because they don't need it, I rather keep them focusing on art and leave technical improvements as a side thing... Not to mention that their release pipeline is just WAY better than PS and it's because they focus on what matters.I *really* don't want it to happen
Plausible pros:
1. Increased technical performance support for future FROM games
2. Increased (and consistent) funding for development, marketing, etc
3. Operational stability means any potential experimental games would more likely be approved
4. Creative interference+ (cinematic presentation support, accessibility/ui support, etc)
5. Spinoff media ventures (more adaptations (even though elden ring adaptations are already in talks), toys)
6. Job security (assuming no concord-level failures, most FROM developers would be more secure in their jobs)
I can see brutta ramsey being perfect for the role of ebrietas.Bloodborne TV show starring Tom Holland as Celestial Child.
I don't think so.The Sony rot will infest From Software if this happens. I don't even like From Software, but I have good friends who adore those games. Hopefully this doesn't happen for their sakes.
Western rot has been invading Japanese developers for a while now, especially within localizations. I expect the worst.I don't think so.
The rot is Western. I think Japan does a good job of avoiding most of the nonsense.
Sony aren't going to interfere. I also expect it to carry on and release multiplatform. The bonus would be that it might improve the technical aspects of Souls games.
There are no cons. Only pros.
That would be under con, yes.Imagine the development cycle taking 8+ more years...
Imagine the development cycle taking 8+ more years...Pros - potentially better optimization and access to better engines/renderers via xDev. Imagine Elden Ring with Demon's Souls or even Death Stranding level of graphics.
Cons - More industry consolidation.
