Elden ring 2 with microtransactions

They buy it, make Bloodborne 2 and make it a PS exclusive, then disolve the company entirely as a giant “fuck you” to PC players.

Pika,

you jest but this is honestly what is likely going to happen.

Maalus,

I’m not jesting, I know they will do it. Bloodborne is a literal goldmine. They could’ve ported to PC and swam in money. By now it’s probably too late to do that, most of the hype went away. But a Bloodborne 2? Yah.

I would imagine, shitheads at a huge company excited they can hoard even more money?
Sounds about right.
Is also like how nobody ever mentions anything but from software.

Like this isn’t a gigantic conglomerate basically owning the Japanese anime industry.

Loved this game and the second one

Blackmist,

I think I actually preferred the second. Less reliance on blowing you up and making you restart puzzles.

Fuck, I was hoping they’re working on their own engine still.

Better title: Kadokawa employees are reportedly “optimistic” about the takeover. Subtitle: Kadokawa owns FromSoftware

Kadokawa suffered a ransomware cyberattack earlier this year, but employees were left disappointed by the response from current president and CEO Takeshi Natsuno.

As a result, employees are said to be “thrilled at the prospect of an acquisition by Sony”, according to a new report from Japanese outlet Bunshun (via Automaton).

HAAHAHAHA, Oh The Onion, you guys are… It’s not The Onion… (for anyone that doesn’t get it, PSN has been hacked a couple of times)

Anyway, the “thrill” comes from the expectation that the current Kadokawa leadership will get the boot from the acquisition.

Sony wants a monopoly on the anime. From software is just a bonus

site blocked for work, but are they actually thrilled or “fucking thrilled”? haha

Wait, is the talos principle really that old already?

The article seems to say that “passionate” is code for “toxic”.

grrgyle,

Yeah it means things got pretty heated

At this point, if BG&E2 ever comes out, it’s gonna be like a repeat of Duke Nukem Forever.

ms_lane,

Does that mean that sometime 11 years later, an earlier prototype will leak in a mostly complete state and the community will finish it up?

Because Duke Nukem Forever 2001 is better than ever.

It hasn’t got it yet. The release is still months out.

Clear and strict management would get this game out the door. Instead, it was Michel’s pet project and the company protected him from their and his worst impulses, AND sexual harassment claims.

Beyond Good and Evil was a masterpiece, and a sequel will never be.

Is that the one where you’re a god and you have a giant monkey pet and you can teach it to take care of villagers and slap the monkey if it gets out of line

inclementimmigrant,

You’re thinking of Black and White.

SplashJackson,

No I only think in Technicolor

Managerial bloat seems to be an issue at a lot of large companies. Only so many people are actually needed to do the thing.

Sylvartas,

Conversely, lack of proper management is also an issue on a lot of videogames projects. Probably has never happened at Ubisoft but I’ve seen it firsthand in small studios
