yeah, it even hit elden ring eventually with nightreign. it used to be novel when it was busted out only every few years. now its so much and imo it undermines the franchises that it occurs in
I like it when the crossover is more than just a skin.
Like Mortal Kombat does it well by making these crossover characters actual characters in their games.
But if it's like just a skin, like in Fortnight, then yeah, it's cringe.
That's not really a media cross over thing, that's just Sony wanting a BR like game for Elden Ring and it's kinda fun. It's like you're doing Orange Justice with Wylder in a skin that looks like Bender from Futurama.it feels like a crossover when they straight up say that via the power of the nightlord, dimensional rifts are causing foes from other universes to appear (dukes dear freyja, smelter, gaping, nameless, dancer, centipede)

It's their own IP, I wouldn't call it media cross over even if they put out a DLC sometime soon with Bloodborne enemies in it.i think there may be a misunderstanding here, because to me, a "crossover" is simply the meeting of two or more IPs. one company owning those IPs doesnt preclude it for me

like yeah, FromSoft created Dark Souls and owns Elden Ring. Theyre still distinct games/franchises
But I think OP is talking about Fortnite having Spiderman, Bob's Burgers, Naruto and Godzilla in the game as skins and shit like Call of Duty having Beavis and Butthead skins.
But I think OP is talking about Fortnite having Spiderman, Bob's Burgers, Naruto and Godzilla in the game as skins and shit like Call of Duty having Beavis and Butthead skins.ah that makes sense. i guess i naturally assume some sort of narrative or writing in a crossover, as opposed to just loaner characters
No. Cross overs are great and I want to see more and see more people being less overprotective of their IP.On the other hand some of the crossovers predictably keep using the same characters. That Ken was correctly used as the crossover character for City of the Wolves over Ryu was one of those times when the arrangement was done appropriately.
If Nitro-Fueled were made today it would cut characters that were in the original CTR, add some Spyro guys and then add a never-ending number of random crossover characters incredibly divorced from Crash or Spyro
Stuff like Smash or like, Ken showing up in City of Wolves is fine.
Reminder that people wanted Goku in Smash Bros.
and thankfully they have been ignoredAgreed.
sakurai has been adamant no none video game characters will ever get in
Agreed.
Granted, some people are resentful of non-Nintendo characters being in Smash. Cloud stands out. FF7 was a big point where mainline Final Fantasy games stopped being released on Nintendo consoles. And he is the Final Fantasy character that first got in. And also, way too many people were upset when most people under 30 had no idea who Terry was.
i was fine with cloud sephiroth is where i got annoyedNeither cloud or sephiroth bother me. The shit that bothers me are stuff like ROB and G&W.
It's like scraping the bottom of the barrel to find non-characters when many other fan favorites are getting ignored but then they also find the time to get 7 fire emblem characters.I like Fire Emblem so it doesn't bother me as much, but having say Awakening get all 3 main reps was a really bad choice...particularly when Chrom was added when he was the least popular of the 3.

In general, I'm ok with crossovers if there's real meaning to it. I do agree it gets stupid when it's just characters in Fortnite or w/e.
Also recently World of Tanks did a collaboration with walking dead... which is like the second game I know of that did a walking dead collab, with the first being Tekken...
shit like this is exactly what i mean these two IPs have no over lapIf there was a zombie apocalypse I would definitely want to be in a tank.
same as when walking dead had cards in magic the gahtering
its just dilluting every IP into everything else stripping away identity
everything has to cross over with everything else
nothing can just be its own thing anymore
I can't think of any game I've played that featured a cross over. The only games I can think of that do this are micro transaction hell holes.
