Can anybody explain how this whole Bungie/Sony thing works?
Are they legally bound to let Bungie be independent? Just trying to understand how you could spend 3.6B on a company and have 0 control over them.

I know how to fix Battlefield:
Stop support for the current game, focus on the next one
Take an extra year
Skip single player
Launch beta to iterate quickly on feedback
What do you mean we just did that?
I'm fired, aren't I?

Sony get the money, can probably dictate the direction of the games during conception, secure content without having to pay extra, get direct access to userbase, data, technology, synergies when launching other gaas products.
Plus they own the assets and IP now, which will grow in value as revenue increases with further games and new IP launches, etc.

day 1:
-Horizon Forbidden West
-Elden Ring
Sucks that the stuff I want is at the end of the month but it gives me time to be productive I guess. Was interested in Sifu but definitely not at $40.

I want Elden Ring, but I don’t think I’m gonna get it on release. Only because I’m a filthy casual and I’m far too deep in Skyrim now to pull out for at least another 2 months
What's the realistic take on how long is this chip shortage going to continue?
Record quarter for Sony/PS(26bn revenue wtf) but they can't make PS5s and it's fallen behind PS4 trajectory. 17M consoles sold through 2021, only able to ship 3.9M during Q4 and expect to only produce 11.9m PS5s total from 04/2021 - 03/2022.

late 2023 at the earliest
raw material demand, and supply chains are supposed to ease late this year, but production is still behind for every industry.

It's beneficial for consoles that they can/will will stay on TSMC 7nm while other high-end parts will move to 5nm and 4nm (technically the same node) at different fabs. I think in a years time it will look a lot better for availability for consoles.
By cRrusheR Go To PostCan anybody explain how this whole Bungie/Sony thing works?The language sounds like Sony has to respect what they mapped out for Destiny until 2024 and after that I would assume multi plat means PS5 and PC... could be wrong tho.

Having one of the best, fps studios in your arsenal diversifies their talent pool and plugs a massive hole in their repertoire.
GaaS experience - super vital to whatever Spartacus ends up becoming. And as thr premier GaaS looter game, SIE gains much needed knowledge in this space from the most successful looter shooter live game on the market.
Contingency - should something like cod go exclusive or Phil decides to pull it. Jimbo has a certified big dick fps maker and IP in his back pocket to fall back on as well as all their future games.
Exclusivity and goodwill. Destiny is a 8 year old franchise with deep roots now on all devices even the 6 dudes that play stadia. Jimbo and crew gain nothing by pulling that from from all the revenue generators. Especially with cross save and cross play boosting numbers even during the deadest period of the game's lifespan.
The move generates goodwill among a massive, super loyal and captive base - which was the opposite of what the Bethesda and Actiblizz acquisition move did.
Future cross-media potential, Sony has the chops with Sony pictures, screen gems, Sony animation, etc to boost Bungie's potential to become the next Riot.
Based on the two Destiny base games, Bungie have a lot of work to do if they want to go cross-media.
Riot is a bit much but Bungie can at least say they know what they want after doing all they could with Halo. Wouldn't be shocked if they took the overwatch shorts template for their seasonal model and tried another Forward Unto Dawn or something too. With as many good or shit games as there are with graphic novels or a whole ass shitty netflix series, an always online nearmmo may as well go for it too.
And lol destiny base. If only every release got that kind of support and improvement overits lifespan a year a quarter.

Cross media doesn't mean lifting the game design and putting it on screen.
It's about the universe and its richness as a source material.
I don't particularly care for league of legends, but they made something cool with Arcane from the universe and characters.

riot is gargantuan. different levels entirely
they put out music videos that get more attention than major releases lol. I was more emphasizing shit like dragons dogma getting a fucking show
hell, resident evil has been laughing in everyone's faces for over a decade

there is nothing Bungie can do that will ever get 500 mil views as a fucking whim is all I'm saying. there's plenty of other closer comparisons and reachable goals on that front tho
And this is probably the one hour that sy won't explain in detail how arcane was stars aligning too for that matter

Yeah, when I was explaining the rationale for the acquisition, youtube views was not something I was considering as a factor for Sony.
Fair point, but all big things have small beginnings
Also, using kpop idols is kind of cheating. That kda video slaps ngl.

League of Legends wasn’t exactly a mega hit on Netflix, nowhere close to something like The Witcher at least.
Warhammer and elden ring soon lads. Ck3 expansion, too. Eating well this month. Imagine if all you had was horizon this month lol
Went to order Horizon 2 and Sony still has the PS4 and PS5 versions priced differently, despite the PS4 version giving you a free upgrade.
Get it together Jimbo

By blackace Go To Postwait what?Not sure where you're getting 2.1bn from, doesn't seem like it got close to either Witcher season going on data from here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most-watched_Netflix_original_programming or here https://top10.netflix.com/tv/
2.1 billion hours streamed worldwide? The highest rated show since the Wire? Think it sat number 1 in 52 countries at the same time.
Seems like it dusted Witcher s1

By Patriotism Go To PostWarhammer and elden ring soon lads. Ck3 expansion, too. Eating well this month. Imagine if all you had was horizon this month lolit's likely going to be a very good game. Long too. You'd be perfectly fine with just Horizon. Get fucked, hater.

Can’t find a single source that shows Arcane anywhere close to Witcher, S1 or S2. Over here it was out of the top 10 faster than Castlevania.
And highest rated show since the wire? Don’t know what to make of that. LoL fanbase wears the badge?

The highest rated was impressive when I thought it was doing Squid Game numbers if that makes sense, chief. Regardless it did pretty well for an animated adaption of a game

Warhammer 3 is going to awesome.
Will it be compatible with the first 2 for extra races or are we stuck buying everything again?

It’s awful but it’s by design. Went to pre order on PS5 and it only showed the PS5 version, had to do it through the app. Sleazy Jim.
By Laboured Go To PostAll of this because Bold mentioned Destiny 2. I hope lessons have been learned.lol
yeh none of you post v
right as far as i know right now:
Not at the beginning. Just the WH3 map with Kislev, Cathay, 4 Chaos factions, Demon Prince and Ogre Kingdoms playable. I believe they plan on combining all 3 games into a big map like they did with Mortal Empires in 2, so eventually all your DLC and stuff will carry over.
