This also makes me question why every high profile Playstation fan is so excited for this supposed "Silent Hill" game. The Pony community on youtube, people like MBG, as well as various "insiders" who are bordering on q-anon levels, keep single-handedly trying to will this PS5 exclusive Silent Hill game into existence.

I dont get it. That franchise hasnt been relevant in almost 20 years (PS2 era), and none of them were massive sellers, so I doubt most modern PS fans hyping this so much have even played the PS1-PS2 games. The PT Kojima game was exciting, mostly because of Kojima and other high profile names that were working on it (like Gueillermo Del Toro, and horror manga artist Jungi Ito) moreso than the Silent Hill franchise itself.

But apparently this "rumored" (I use that word loosely) game that Playstation Japan Studios is working on doesnt involve any of those people either, so it is even further puzzling why Playstation fans are hyping this franchise up so much. At this point, I think Playstation fans will hype anything with the Playstation logo attached to it.

Could be a great opportunity for Microsoft, considering they are rumored to be ramping up in Japan, and actively courting Japanese support. One of Xbox's biggest rumored acquisition targets is SEGA. MS needs to strike Sony while the iron is hot.

As an Xbox fan, and gamer who grew up on Square, I couldnt give any less of a chit. I say go ahead Sony. Waste $10 billion dollars on a graveyard of past-their-prime IPs that havent been relevant in 20 years. . 🤣

We are now like 6 US Presidential terms removed from the last good Final Fantasy game.

Think about that. Final Fantasy X (the last good game in the series) predates September 11, the "War on Terror" and the US invasion of Afghanistan.

WWE was still called WWF when that game came out. Windows XP wasnt even out yet when that game came out. Go ahead Sony. This definately makes up for losing f*cking Elder Scrolls, Fallout, and Starfield (and Doom, Wolfenstein, Dishonored, and Prey. ) Go ahead guys, show Microsoft who's boss 🤣🤣🤣. You can go ahead and "take" Konami's washed asses too while you're at it. 🤣

I dont even want MS to attempt to fight this. Although, I wouldn't mind MS trying to pick off Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montreal before it happens, as there were rumors SE was considering selling their western branch assets (ala IO Interactive) anyways, but even if I didnt game on Sony consoles, I could live without'em on Xbox.

This is stupid logic. Was Horizon: Zero Dawn ported to PC because it "didnt do the numbers Sony wanted it to" and they needed more eyes on the game?

Or was it ported 3 years after its release, long after it had maximized its earnings potential on its original platform, because they wanted an essentially "free" short term revenue burst, and they no longer viewed a PC port as a threat to devalue that original platform?

The same applies here. This game has maximized its earnings potential, and everyone who wanted to play it in Gamepass already has. This is just a "free" short term revenue burst.

Come April, the entire series will be on Gamepass.

I think the only remaining games are Yakuza 6 (which comes in March) and Judgement was just announced (which comes in April).

That was weird.

I just hope Cows will keep the same energy and give this game the same public flogging they gave Bleeding Edge just for existing.

A side project made by 14 people stuffed into the janitors closet at Ninja Theory, and Cows couldn't even let it live. If it aint a AAAA blockbuster, Cows dont value it. Unless it has a PS logo. I see nothing in this game that looks better than Bleeding Edge.

Destruction All Stars is another game Cows would be calling "Gamepass Fodder" and trash if it were an Xbox game. 🤣

There is literally nothing Cows hate that they wouldn't immediately love with a Playstation logo attached to it. 🤣🤣🤣

Weren't you calling people poor the other day for calling out Sony's $70 price hike on its games, and still not having a value proposition like Gamepass? And dont you and other cows regularly compare Gamepass to welfare and EBT, and gladly proclaim your enthusiasm to pay Sony $70 for games like Returnal? Now Cows are frugal and fighting for the "little guy"?

The best part about all this has been watching every Cow become fiscally responsible in the past 24 hours 🤣

Im sure Sony paying for a timed exclusive demo and marketing rights makes up for Elder Scrolls, Fallout, and Starfield.
