PS5 will now play PC games.Sony saying on stage that "PS5 is not only PS4 back compat, but you can also play your PS3, PS2, and PS1 games" that is a mic drop moment.

The pricing immediately invalidates this leak. Not only is that unlikely to be finalised just yet but it will have parity between the US and EU (i.e. it would be $499 and €499).
Also no way Sony is releasing a game called Legendz in 2020 haha.
Man, sorry folks for acting like an idiot last night. (for those who even remember me posting)
It's more of a personal hangup I guess? I love playing games on my PS4, PC, and Switch but sometimes when it comes to PC stuff... I read into posts as if they're saying people are idiots for not having played the PC version. Like in the sense of: "Oh why wouldn't you play the clearly superior version?" and so I begin to think: "Oh, I guess I am idiot."
Like I said it's a personal thing, I don't think anyone was trying to say that. But it informed why I started to go all doom and gloom last night basically proclaiming that this is the end and other dumb shit.

Doesn't Sony own the order 1886 IP? Can they use the same name? Even if it was the order being described
Sorry for the double post but the discord invite isn't working. Do I need to be permitted first or..?
Making articles based on gaf posts where no game is mentioned and thinking that a sequel to a Sony IP will appear on Xbox, gamesradar is so fucking trash lol
If you follow the link to his alleged "nailed it" PS4 Pro post you can see that it's not at all so. Also, a Sony IP on next gen Xbox is far fetched at this point.
"We were also given a list of games that will be available at launch that will directly take advantage of the PS4K where the differences are and I will quote him "Significant."
For the PSVR
Eve Valkyrie
Robinson
GT Sport
For the PS4K
Deep Down (Thought this was dead)
GOW4 (This was the exact abbreviation on the sheet I can only assume its god of war 4)"
They do. The writer probably didn't know that and thought a sequel could be multiplat.
Anyway, i don't believe it but i would love to see a sequel. Just to see that Sony doesn't give up on RaD.
The ending set up one up perfectly imho. So much I wanted to see.
Holy shitballs! I don't wanna hype this rumor up too much, but Benji's doing his livestream and I asked him if he had any thoughts on potential Sony acquisitions, mentioning that we've heard everything from Bluepoint and Remedy all the way up to Zenimax.
His response is at 33:40 in this video:
Now to be clear, he seemed very hesitant to commit to a solid answer so by no means am I going to put words into his mouth. Still, what do you all think of his response?
Here's a transcript I quickly made of what he said:
"What do I say here? ... What do I say? Gotta be careful what I say here. Here's what I'll say, maybe the Zenimax rumor sounds crazy, maybe it is crazy. I can tell you I've heard, I'll give zero/no more info on this, but that Zenimax has looked before for Bethesda and such to be acquired. Not gonna say anything else."
*zipped up his lips*
And if you're still out there reading these threads Benji, we love you and miss you! :)

Played some more Days Gone now and enjoying it a lot.I'm playing on hard II difficulty because I figured from the reception the game got it would probably be a fairly standard open world game....and it pretty much is right now.
Playing this difficulty has made the game world super dangerous and just getting off my bike to check an empty house for supplies is nerve-racking as hell,lol.
Groups of freakers are really tough and I can't imagine a horde right now....I'm glad I picked this difficulty as it's giving the game a real edge I don't think it would have had otherwise....long,long way to go though.

According to my stats, it was my most played PS4 game last year and I enjoyed every moment of it. Wasn't expecting the world to look as amazing as it does so I guess that makes you want to invest time in it doing missions and exploring lol
A possible Zenimax acquisition definitely sounds a lot likelier with Sony opening up to PC. Rebrand the Bethesda launcher to a PlayStation launcher, have all future Sony titles on PC exclusive to it so they don't have to share a cut with Epic and Valve and bring other 3rd parties to the launcher so PlayStation Now subscribers can also download titles on PC instead of just streaming right now.
Still at the end of the day I think it's bullshit simply because of how expensive all those studios + IPs must be. It's hard to guess because Zenimax isn't a public company but I'd image it would cost multiple billions.

My feelings for this game has been like a rollercoaster even though i have not played it. At the first abnouncment i felt luke warm on it. Later on i thought it might be interresting. Then whwn Gameinformer had it's huge feature of the game i was all over it and wanted it day one. The closee to release we for, i didn't feel likw buying it but now i feel i have to. Gonna play through Kiwami 2 first though and hopefully i get to Days Gone next.
The ramifications of a Zenimax purchase would be huge, but at least PC players would know the games would still wind up on their platform.
I can't imagine the blowback if the games don't go to other systems though.
Plus Bethesda has been very pro-Xbox for ages, it just doesn't make sense.

Say if Sony DOES buy Zenimax, how likely will it affect those studios? Will it be the case that they take over management of the teams and get them up to their standard?
I just don't see the benefit to Sony, there's no way they'd block Elder Scrolls from being on multiple platforms (Why would they?) and they're taking on all the costs and teams for no unique gain.

Zenimax... I just can't see it. Sony going for Capcom or Sega, perhaps, in some alternate timeline. Zenimax-SIE would be the gaming industry's equivalent to the Disney-Fox merger in terms of controversy.
So... I feel like I remember that being a thing they talked about publicly? Like, I feel like I remember reading articles that they were looking to potentially be acquired. And as he mentions in the video, he "doesn't know if it's Sony". He's basically just pointing out it would be possible.
From my perspective though, I don't think Sony is a good fit at all to buy them, because they would pay for resources they don't need, then would likely do mass layoffs.
Here's an article I found. A private equity firm with a large stake in the company was looking to sell or have the company go public in 2016, from my understanding: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...to-weigh-options-for-video-game-maker-zenimax
That was what i said, if Sony is coming to PC then the Zenimax acquisition makes sense because they already have a store in place.
Ha! I'm in the same boat as you. Playing at hard 2 really makes dealing with the freakers a challenge. It truly does feel like a survival game specially that amo is scarce and there is no health regeneration. The game is pretty fun and it keeps getting more fun as I go.
I also like the story and characters. Lots of room for improvements but I'm definitely enjoying my time with this game. Cant wait till i take on a hoard
ZeniMax Media Inc. is an American video game holding company based in Rockville, Maryland, and founded in 1999. The company owns id Software (developer of the Doom, Quake and Rage series), Arkane Studios (developer of Dishonored and Prey), MachineGames (developer of the Wolfenstein series),[3] Tango Gameworks (developer of The Evil Within),[4] publisher Bethesda Softworks with its Bethesda Game Studios (developer of The Elder Scrolls and Fallout series) and ZeniMax Online Studios (developer of The Elder Scrolls Online).
Zenimax-SIE merger would 100% point to a PC-PS5 centric future for Playstation. A PC storefront with all of SIE's and Zeni's output would be an insane market player on PC. Elder-Scrolls, Fallout, and Doom being Playstation console exclusives would be just as batshit in the console market.
All this is to prove just how not likely this rumor is, it would shift the gaming landscape to a degree i'm not sure Sony is confortable (or financially capable of) doing.

If Zenimax really were looking to sell off their games division it would be enough if Sony bought Arkane and MachineGames.
Especially Arkane, I'm frothing at the mouth thinking about what they are capable of in the right hands.
