Sony paying to keep games off other platforms. Disgusting and shameful.

No, this blame is exclusive to Microsoft.../joke

 

[EGOMON]

One more vote for Dragon's Dogma 2, DD was/is the best ARPG i ever played

 

[Qvoth]

yeah, just announce a western release already goddamn, doesn't matter if it's mediocre, f2p is f2p and so i'll probably check it out

i'm not expecting this game to stay f2p though, such a weird decision in the 1st place

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

Sony make Darkstalkers happen... please... I'm serious...

 

[Percy]

The seemingly wilfull ignorance displayed by some over this game's development reads like a copy/paste of a lot of Bloodborne/Project Beast threads tbh.

 

[Respawn]

Can someone approach them for dragon's dogma then

My brother

 

[Triggerhappytel]

deep down is co-dev by SCEJ

why are people questioning its exclusivity?

Was that ever confirmed or just rumoured?

 

[driver116]

I wonder if it's still f2p or if it's become a retail game.

 

[stryke]

It's still F2P, but funnily enough one of my local retailers think it's a packaged game where you can preorder it.

 

[Acquiescence]

I had no idea Studio Japan was helping out on this.

I kind of think it should be.

 

[Mass_Pincup]

Game will be multi platform and probably the only reason was exclusive is the previous Microsoft P2P policy.




Where this come from?

.

Looking at things there really is no signs it's been co-developed. No mentions of SCEJ in trailers, or the original announcement on capcom.

Yes please

 

[driver116]

No.

 

[UrbanRats]

Resident Evil 4 Deep Down will definitely release only on GameCube Playstation 4, not on another console, if it happens, I will cut my head off.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Sony make Darkstalkers happen... please... I'm serious...

No, Sony make Dragons Dogma 2 happen with the panty raids. Someone pls.

Did Nintendo co-develop RE4?

 

[Loudninja]

Soo do we have a better source?

 

[UrbanRats]

Did Nintendo co-develop RE4?

From the line in the OP, i assumed the game was already pretty much done when "Sony approached".
Then again, it's not out yet, so they probably showed it when it was barely anything in the first place.

Weird game to put money into, when you're also developing Bloodborne, i'll say.

Maybe when the PS4 suffers some GameCube tier sales.

Well now, they'll probably surpass the GC's ww sales next year (or the one after), lol.

Dear Sony, honestly Infamous, Tearaway and Housemarque games are your only western games i care for so you dropping the western first party support for Vita isn't a big deal for me, I'm happy with indies and Japanese first and third party games coming on Vita but couldn't you try at least a tiny tentative to "approach" some western developers for Vita?
Thank you.

Doesn't say much really. Why I say it is because with SCEJ projects so far like Bloodborne it's clear it's a partnership. Here Capcom haven't referred to working with SCEJ neither as Sony iirc.

 

[Augemitbutter]

now give me a release date.

and Sony, approach them for Dragon's Dogma as well, please. you already did good with Bloodborne. DD is of similar quality.

 

[Damerman]

Can someone approach them for dragon's dogma then

seriously...

 

[BadWolf]

Thought this was known from the beginning?

Remember reading after the reveal that Sony is helping them with development.

The fact that its F2P is also probably why they favored the PS4 (from what I understand the PS4 has better F2P policies than X1? Since there are more F2P games on PS4, FFXIV etc.).

 

[LegendofDragoonLives]

Can someone approach them for dragon's dogma then

+ Devil May Cry 5
+ Monster Hunter for consoles

All you gotta do is ask.

 

[Hydrogen Bluebird]

Just in case anyone's interested, the full interview is up.

 

[farisr]

All hype for Deep Down went away for me, when it was shown to be a randomly generated online F2P game.

 

[Allez Phill]

Sony paying to keep games off other platforms. Disgusting and shameful.

I thought Sony would never do this!

Thank you.

They did seem to try though, to me it became clear many western devs (other than indies) want nothing to do with portables. Even when Sony was clearly trying to grab something big from western third parties they had no luck. Activision didn't give a shit about COD on a portable, Levine never did a Vita game despite talking about one during Bioshock Infinite development even on stage, they got a separate Batman game rather than a real 3D one, Naughty Dog didn't want to work on a portable so Bend did Uncharted Golden Abyss. If I remember correctly, about the only big third party western thing they managed to get from that period, where it looked like they were really trying to get a few big western devs to make something, was Assassin's Creed Liberation.

 

[CadetMahoney]

I don't mind when Sony does it tbh.

Is this the "good" f2p or the "bad" (stamina bars etc.) f2p?

 

[Host Samurai]

Sony should just fund DMC5 and pull a Nintendo

DMC5, yes please.

 

[baekshi]

and not Monster Hunter?

 

[stryke]

and not Monster Hunter?

And start a bidding war with Nintendo?

 

[diaspora]

Yeah no, I'm not buying a gimp machine to play this.

 

[farisr]

That'd be awesome.

 

[Megatron]

That means "because money!" right?

Well no, because Microsoft didnt do it, Sony did, so Capcom rewarded them for being pure of heart.

 

[3DimensionalAperture]

Interesting...basically no way it's JP only then, so I'm surprised they haven't announced a western date release.

The game was ANNOUNCED in New York City at the PS4 announcement event, there's no way on earth it's Japan only.
