Jimbo's got the big guns out. That'll definitely offset the Activision deal.

Sony should use Sly Cooper to rob a bank and buy some more video game developers.

Well this definitely aligns with their GaaS push.

There's no reason for a company like Pearl Abyss (Black Desert, Eve Online) to make fake footage

It was BS.
Pearl Abyss is a serious developer. They're no reason for them to make fake footage.

well..there have been examples of "serious" developers faking footage.
let's not be naive.

"report"
You mean that 1 article that interviewed a random Korean person in the gaming industry, who only said he has never seen Pearl Abyss talking about development? Also says (translated) "Of course, this is not official. It could just be a distorted interpretation of my feelings."

So there are zero reports of such a claim, yet there are videos of people playing and demoing Dokev.

Ubisoft made footage of fake games that were never in development?
When did they ever do that?

Your definition of fake is much different than mine. The Division footage from E3 was a vertical slice that never came to fruition. Nobody was able to control a helicopter from a tablet, so yea, in that respect. Fake.

Watch dogs is a fake game that never released?
WTF are you smoking now?!
You claimed many devs have made trailers of fake games that never launched---which is what you're accusing DokeV of.
Now you're moving the goalposts to, hur dur, this dev made a CGI trailer... keep your story straight, dude FFS

Your definition of fake is irrelevant to the discussion being had.
I and the other poster were talking about DokeV, a game he claimed was fake and never existed.
He claimed devs made similar fake trailers of fake games all the time. I asked him to name a single one... you said Ubisoft.
You realize now, how utterly irrelevant your contribution to the topic was?
If you're gonna reply to a post on a discussion forum, at least have the decency to read the fucking posts to learn what the discussion was actually about before hitting reply and typing some nonsense.

I remember the Dokev trailer, it was pretty ambitious and I remember people saying this is what Pokémon next gen should have been. Would be a good get for Sony, and I’m not a believer in that article saying that footage of Dokev was of a fake game.
Pearl Abyss is not just some no-name developer.

I see...
Yea, I don't really do decency.
How much bated breath did you exhaust waiting for a reply to this post as if you're somehow checking me.
It's obvious the conversation was unclear otherwise both me and
ChorizoPicozo
wouldnt have misunderstood.How about you have the decency to not use shorthand to get your point across. Or, I dunno, maybe simply clarify without antagonizing people.

why the fuck are you so triggered by a pedo game being fake 
.
if you actually had read the conversation you would have realized that i didn't claim "PedoKeV" was fake...i was asking a question.
then you all triggered and defensive as shit:
the fucking irony
.if you actually had read the conversation you would have realized that i didn't claim "PedoKeV" was fake...i was asking a question.
then the other dude posted this:
which i answered:
he:
me:
then you all triggered and defensive as shit:
your reply comes across like the classic fanboy blindly defending a dev....when we have example after example of devs and "serious devs" spitting bullshit.
ChorizoPicozo

so...yeah....not inspiring confidence this "serious developers" overpromising and underdelivering....if only.
When something looks too good to be true.....you better have ready the bullshit-meter.

Don't know why people make that stupid comment all the time...
It's always South Korea when people refer to "Korea".
Don't be that person who sounds like an ignorant moron (i.e. "ZOMG you said Korea?! You must be talking about Kim Jeong Un").

Black Desert is an incredible MMO, I've played most of them for a good amount of time and to me BDO is one of the best, but it gets a bad rap due to the monetisation. People call it pay to win but it really isnt, the things you can pay for to make you a bit stronger for PvP are things very few people will ever need, you're talking top tier players who need a tiny edge.
Seems a wierd acquisition though, BDO isnt one of the most populated MMOs and in the past 18 months their content is sorely lacking. The odd event now and then but nothing substantial other than new character classes which, after getting 10+ characters to level 56 isnt too exciting a prospect
I know Crimson Desert is in the pipeline though, I expect that will be great. Never heard of Dokev though so maybe thats what is behind them doing this.

It isn't an acquisition (not yet at least)
But I wouldn't put it past them to secure a timed exclusive for DokeV (which is delayed to 2024 while they finish Crimson Desert)
Oh, and Black Desert still has the best character creator in a game ever, it's awesome

Hold on, you just moved the goal post from fake footage to "fake games that were never in development." Two different things.

I think the context of the conversation was fake games that were never in development. So it would be wise to assume that that was what the conversation was about. Or I could be wrong.

As much as us hardcore traditional gamers dislike GaaS, gatcha, and MMO games, there is obviously a huge market for it. And Sony is wise to tap into it, from a business POV at least.
Just look at Genshin Impact. There are more than half a million people playing Genshin Impact right now as I type this. And it's a PlayStation console exclusive. Because of Genshin Impact, MiHoYo is now 400% more profitable than the entire PlayStation division.
Sony securing this type of content exclusively for PlayStation is going to be extremely profitable for them. Millions of players will buy PlayStation, and Sony will earn 30% of all the money they will spend.
I hope Sony uses that money and also invests in other single-player studios and games though.

Nah, the context was fake footage aka fake gameplay. Those are two different things.
A game or IP can be real while also passing along fake gameplay as legitimate, which has happened numerous times in this industry.
