the melt downs would be on a scale not seen since final fantasy 13 was announced for the 360 and ign gave uncharted 3 an 8

I hate rumors like this. It gives me hope. And it gives me anger when they don’t turn out true. I don’t need anger in my life.

Microsoft desperately trying to become a Monopoly in the gaming industry. They are the only one out of the big 3 to not have won a generation. So they are definitely feeling the heat now.

Except Jim Ryan and the ultimate money hat tour to try and content starve Microsoft lol. This is nothing compared to that. Ryan was trying to time exclusive every zenimax game basically forced Microsoft's hand into purchase with the other money hats.

I don't want Microsoft anywhere near it. Give it to Sony and Blue Point. Those idiots at Microsoft will fuck it up.

About that...

www.neogaf.com

Lance McDonald (Bloodborne modder): Bloodborne PC leaks were fake. Bluepoint Sony contract expired.

So Lance McDonalds who released the 60 fps patch for Bloodborne, and has been invited to Bluepoint Games in the past, tweeted this a couple of days ago. Didnt see it get posted. Lots of juicy info here. He talked to devs who were rumored to be porting Bloodborne to PC and they denied it. Then...
www.neogaf.com www.neogaf.com

Sony didnt even extend their contract so they could support demon souls, and the creative director of demon souls (japan studios) left last week. so he clearly wasnt working with bluepoint on another remake.

the way sony wouldnt even pay them to patch in deleting characters tells me there was some bad blood between the two. im guessing ms promised them more money.

I'd rather Castlevania to be honest. The only MGS i kind of lliked was the 2nd game, although i tired to play it again not long ago and its so dated now.

How are they going to be a monopoly when ppl around here claim Sony is going to outsell them 3:1 and they only matter in the US and UK?

Don't you have to have the lions share to be a monopoly?

I don't believe anything until its official, but its obvious that Microsoft is in a spending mood. I think they just spent $19 billion on some AI biz couple of days ago!

Better to get assets than pay tax. They can't recoup the tax, assets can gain value and make you more money, or they can depreciate and help offset other gains.

Paying money to the taxman is just money lost that can't work for you.

Sure. why not. i dont care how it gets made as long as it gets made. sony or microsoft providing the money, what difference does it make as long as bluepoint is doing the work.

bluepoint has worked with ms before. they did the 360 port of titanfall.

sony seems to have their hands full with their own IPs, so maybe MS is the new Sony. at the end of the day, both console makers will be releasing their games on pc at one point or another so if people detest MS so much they can always build a pc.

Also 360 port of MGS2&3 which was legendary compilation of games.

Konami is now only a zombie, a shadow of its former 90s self.

But MGS is dead too. All the story arc is completed, how much more milk they can extract from that corpse?

Full remasters with new controls and graphics, plus directors cut enhanced cut scenes with a minimum of 30 mins each that you can't skip.
Plus a new game where it scans your eyes, you aren't allowed to control anything but the game changes based on your reactions.
Minimum runtime 300 hours, free toothpicks included. 😛

Could work as long as they leave them unchanged. We still don't know how the relationship between them and Sony worked. Microsoft rushes shit out and produces massive garbage. It's possible they can rush Blue Point to release something.

As some already mentioned, what more can be done with the franchise? Even Kojima is sick and tired of it. A remake of the entire saga would be nice, but that's it, the story is complete.

If this turns out to be true i will leave the internet for a couple of weeks. The amount of drama in the past months has been off the charts and this would surely break a lot of people
