The cma has no dubious relationship with Sony. A lawyer that is now one of its director sand was NOT ON THE PANEL THAT MADE THE DECISION, worked for a law firm connected to Sony A DECADE AGO. The idea that, that means he is working for Sony is ridiculous. What's more they blocked this on concerns that make complete sense regarding cloud gaming.
I think you are totally misreading this. Almost any other deal MS might make would be smaller than this. If this goes through it sets a precedent and will mean Microsoft make more acquisitions of publishers.
The cma literally had multiple pages addressing this in their report it was very clear why the deals weren't acceptable. Ms is so full of shit
That's because COD costs Sony nothing but makes them alot of money. 1st party games have a high development cost which limits the money they can make sony....
The director of the cma doesn't make the decision you complete clown. An independent panel of experts does. Tell us you dint have a clue what you are on about without telling us. More interesting is a senior member of the eu regulators panel that actually did make the decision worked for MS until very recently. ...
Timed exclusivity is one thing, that's down to the publishers and devs and is simply a way of helping funds a game right but a year later or ao the gsme is gonna come to rival platforms provided there is enough audience to make it worthwhile porting. Buying up whole publishers and 3rd party ip is a whole different thing entirely.
Also don't have way more than 13 billion they will have in region of 21 billion in cash when they spin off financial services and they bid...
I suspect its the ms vs ftc court case. MS already tried to use sonys exclusives as an argument its let them acquire activision its a ridiculous argument but I guess Sony would rather not risk adding that argument. I wonder if, if the eu had blocked it they'd have done a different showcase but with the eu allowing it meaning there is still a chance it gets through...
I see fish enough, yes its the whole campaign. I do agree btw outside of that the show was abit Meh. Realistically there were good games there but we have been waiting to hear what the first party studios are up to and everything suggests some are actually at the point where they are ready to show us stuff and yet Sony held ot back for some reason.
wtf are you on about? it's a bespoke VR mode for the recent RE4 remake which is a new game the existing RE4VR is the original ps2 game lol
I disagree if they show those 3 and avowed then they basically have a rerun of their past shows. Forza has been being delayed for like 3 years now.... it's getting stupid. Hellblade 2 was announced 5 years ago and has been shown at every one of their events in some form. Starfield spent most of it's development outside of MS ownership. That's their ace in the hole IF it performs. Microsofts issue isn't having a good show- it's if having a good show even matters at this po...
(sony have way more than 18 Billion available if they want it- they bid 50 billion for 20th century fox whilst in considerably worse financial circumstances than today. they will have circa 18 billion in cash is I think what you mean?) You are I suspect correct clearly sony have at least one major merger planned and are preparing for the regulators there plus MS still has court case with FTC. I suspect they want to appear weaker ahead of that too so MS can't use their titles as part of it...
They've only had todo that because Microsoft kicked up a public stink and then clearly went and lobbied mps despite mps not actually being able todo much about it.
Thry went off of microsoftd own figures and the nvidia service is totally different to games pass streaming service, proper....
It's actually a fact that development costs are linked to graphics essentially. The increase in costs is associated with a need to increase the resolution of assets each generation it's why historically a new generation has often seen dev costs balloon several times Iver before slowly settling down as the generation goes on. The fact remains that one of the reasons games increased in price was almost a decade at a stationary price point so built up inflationary pressure and the increa...
Well it's an AAA title so yeah....
Probably related to the timed exclusivity for tomb raider wnd how poorly it sold onnxbox and how much MS paid then how much money the 3rd made cod it was cr
Wow well of all the groups on strike I'd say they all have a pretty big justification to do so.
Destiny is an xbox fan boy imo. In a recent video even he points out that all sfsrfkeld footage has shown signs of serious frame rate issues and that is in gameplay footage and trailers that have been edited and are incredibly polished and viewed by loads of people meant to spot and edit out such issues. If even he is bringing it up.... expect it to be an issue. PH and that will have been on a high end pc.....
Also I played hellblade: senua's sacrifice on release (you ...
Thing is there isn't an audience of 2-3hundered million people willing to soend like 15 quid a month subscribing to a video game subscription service....
Not trying thry used the tech to setup ps now and to improve remote play considerably. Unfortunately cloud infastructure pvroved too coatly for anyone but the largest tech companies
