Hey what happened to Sony's organic acquisitions? 

 

Bungie acquisition organic now? Why? Coz they had marketing deal them?

 

Then Xbox had tons of exclusive marketing deal with Bethesda and Activision during Original Xbox and 360 generation. So MS deal organic as well.lol.

 

And i love what my boi Jimmy said to all ponies after acquisition-

 

"WE GOING MULTIPLATFORM, WE INVESTING HEAVILY IN LIVE SERVICES"

 

He literally put every pony on suicide watch. :D

He is just going to follow xbox as much as possible. Day 1 games are not far away ,will start with MP games and then eventually all.

Xbox is buying studios for the 1st time in decades and you are talking about this as if sony has never shut down studios.

 

Competition is good my friend , we all will benefit from it . Rather  have xbox , sony or nintendo than anyone like google , amazon or apple.

First time in decades?! Xbox has been around for 20years my friend. 20years of shutting down Studios bought, or scaring them away or running it to the ground. Half of these were shut down in the last decade.

They didn’t have lord Phil (the saviour of xbox, leader of men etc etc ) leading them at that time  :rofl:

True, he does feel like a new variable in the equation, like you said he just might save xbox, been doing well so far imo.

You want me to list how many studios Sony killed?

 

Studios getting shut is standard practice in games done by every publisher. 

Oh please do.

Once in a while is in line I guess, but almost every one they've bought, either closed, separated or made a shell of what they used to be?! Now that takes effort :D

 

I love how you like to speak of the future as if having premonitions, this event this megaton will happen, that game will be one of the greatest of them all, this gen belongs to this platform. And yet when shown the mirror about the past, things that really did happen, everyone loses their marbles.

 

This is so satisfying, waking up to see I've managed to rustle so many jimmies with one post :rofl:

3b for Destiny too much. Just 1 ip they owm plus its not even gonna be exclusive 

If you compare it with Bethesda, it does seem a bit on the higher side. But you can't look only the tangibles. No one else has been able to crack the live-service formula as well as Bungie. And Destiny opens up a great avenue for movies etc for Sony. Destiny lore is quite interesting has a lot of potential. 

 

If Sony is making a push for live-services, there is no-one better than Bungie to help them. And an added bonus is they might help get some decent 1st FPS on the PS5

I think Sony has a great track record of fostering studios/IPs. I can only remember the closure of Japan Studio, and that too, the team was re-organized under the Astro Bot studio, I think.

Isn't what this whole thread about?

I don't know, I think the quality of the shitposts seems to have gone up (albeit only slightly)

Destiny pulls a million players every day during lull periods and 2M+ during new season and DLC, shits on new BF and Infinite on PC from high orbit. No non-F2P game consistently has 200k players playing at any given point. It even manages to jump over Infinite on XBL from time to time. Imagine a Sony game having more player on XBL than fking Halo :rofl:

sony doesn’t have a FPS or GaaS type game.. that’s why they paid a lot…

Halo 5 did a lot of damage to the franchise, Infinite has not still repaired it completely. Even though the gameplay is close to perfect, their battlepass and microstransactions are waaayyyyy off the point.

All that is fine, but the sheer number of IPs that MS got from Bethesda compared to the 1 IP from Bungies is what people are comparing. But I don't think its as simple as Destiny vs (Elderscrolls+Fallout+Doom+Dishonored+etc etc). Sony wants to tap into Bungie's expertise and get access to the Destiny IP. When Jim said "beyond Playstation" I think(hope) he was hinting at some sort of tv/movie venture with the Destiny IP - which has tremendous potential.

 

Another thing to note is Destiny is now at its best state ever, but not too long ago it was quite sh!t and there were 'Quit Destiny' cries around the community. Kudos to Bungie for turning that around, although I never managed to get back in after Forsaken.

This is a seasonal trend at this point. :P People still play non-stop. I have like ~3.5k hours on main and ~2k on alts. It is a shite game every other month but a good shite game and there is nothing like Destiny out there. 

 

Can't compare to single-player IPs. Completely different audience and revenue.

Their new IP also a MP gaas game seems to be far in development. Sony might've had a look at it and think it could be big. Also destiny is still not on mobiles and if launched properly could be huge.

 

And bungie might actually be bigger staff wise than their 3 other big studios combined (ND, GG, insomniac)

This is exactly the point I think. Sony knows they can create a new IP any day of the week. They really need the talent, more than the IP itself. They have no one in the FPS or GaaS genre, who can fit the bill. So Bungie is perfect.

 

This is unlike MS - who have had no new ideas at all, since at the very least 2 generations. They need to buy studios and take over existing IPs if they need to generate hype. The last major IP that MS genuinely made from what I remember was Forza. Rest everything was either purchased or paid for 3rd party exclusives.

I read few posts from Halo fans on gaf and Twitter and most saying we completed Halo infinite battle pass, now nothing left to do. I think most waiting for new  mode and content then it will jump back up.

 

 

Plus if rumors of BR from Certain Affinity true then you will see massive jump.

Destiny is a tight FPS game, the gunplay feels great and the loot mechanics and gameplay loops are on point. Details like the right trigger rumbling slightly to match the guns hammer when you use the revolver coming down was so good.

 

I got the first game at launch and was put off by how repetitive the levels and content were then but I played D2 a couple of months back and it felt great. I'm looking forward to what comes out from the Sony x Bungie stable without the aggressive monetization from Acti now. Fingers crossed for a new IP
