Yeah FF16 definitely going to be exclusive (timed or otherwise) at this rate.

I CANNOT see GTA 6 being timed, that might break the internet.
Yeah I'm very curious about that one.
One would expect eventually FF7R-2 as well just like the first one to at least be timed, especially after it's monster success.

Yeah you know it would make extra sense for how Rockstar got that opening slot in the prestigious first ps5 event, before the event started proper with Jim's speech.

I think assuming that Spider-Man would have been part of the main game if not for the exclusivity is going a few steps too far, no?

If it was someone like Mantis, sure.

But it's Spider-Man. If you were CD, and you were allowed to put Spider-Man in your Avengers game from day one, a character that would guarantee more sales from all systems, would you really wait to just add him later in a random event?

Hell, not to mention that this means we'll probably never get crossplay now since the games will never have true parity. For a GAAS game, it's going to be a weird one.

I can't imagine the response online if Sony makes the next FF an exclusive, even if it's timed.

Today's reaction to the Spider-Man news was a lot more intense than I expected, lol

This is the important takeaway. Whatever resources wasted on a complete stinker of a game. A GaaS stinker at that.
Lol I agree

lol
This is called spending smartly.
Not in my opinion, I can't imagine the amount of cash Sony had to spent for this
Yes platform split will favor PS4 (but it was sure before that deal)
And the game is not so hot for now, we will see how they will manage to monetize their game but 30% cut of Avengers spending by players, it won't cover the cash they spent and they have now a negative image with this deal...

Speaking of money, when is the financials. Is it later tonight/morning (like 12 hours) or tomorrow night/Wednesday morning. Looking forward to your post.
It's in 12 hours ! (in 11h55)

Kitwe, Zambia.
At one point I was convinced that project athia is the only square Enix money hat sent out but after today, that FFXVI rumour is looking credible, SE and Sony are a bit too cozy rn

lol yeah. XVI is real. It was supposed to get announced in June's event. It's supposedly closer than most people would think. It has some kind of PS5 exclusivity (it was vague back then but it seems to be full timed exclusivity now). And I have no idea why they haven't announced it yet.
Any thoughts on SH? :)

There is no scenario where spending on Spider-Man is a waste of money for Sony in this day and age.

The whole point is to set the stage for PS5, to try to make Spider-Man/Marvel as synonymous with Playstation as possible.

Probably, it's just my opinion
I prefer when Sony invests money to have something like Kena instead of this deal
I may also prefer that but the return on investment on Kena would be much lower - I am not sure how that is not obvious. They will make bucketful of money on MT from Spidey skins itself over the next year or two in Avengers.

Did you make a prediction already? I can't recall. If not when can we suspect your prediction later today :)

Closer than what people think, as in this year close?
Sony gonna call them about that Agent favor lol "you owe us"
Yeah, I might be misremembering but wasn't Agent the hey were sorry for releasing GTA 4 at the same time on other consoles as well?
