Sony saw no potential or future in Demon's Souls, just as they killed off King's Field and disallowed various other games From made to be released outside of Japan like Echo Night 2 and Shadow Tower Abyss. They planned to do the same to Demon's Souls. If Sony had their way, there'd be no lineage of Souls games. Stuff like this constantly happens in the video game industry. It's not personal. It's because they don't think these games will sell well in the West. Tmk posted... Dark Souls didn't need them and Bloodborne was noticably more buggy and technologically impaired in general, it reeked of "someone was forcing From Software to rush this out" The people who made the game are who made it exist. Money can come from anywhere; Sony's isn't special. From Software doesn't need a s*ty company like Sony to make games like that. If only it were that simple for developers. If money can come from anywhere I'm sure From Software could have gone with a company like EA or Activision to fund their game right? Or maybe Kickstarter? If that was the case why aren't you blaming From Software? Or maybe the reason Bloodborne exists is because Sony saw value in the Souls franchise and wanted their own exclusive IP version of it? I don't see why a third party publisher would bother with that. Microsoft tried out something similar with Scalebound and that didn't work out. This stuff isn't easy and money doesn't just 'come from anywhere' Tmk posted... A lot of people bought a PS4 specifically because Sony held Bloodborne hostage. They didn't support From Software, ever, and when they became successful despite Sony's efforts to prevent it, they then exploited and used From Software to polish the turd of a console and new console gen as a whole. Sorry not sorry, Sony gets 0 credit for using money to extort gamers to have to buy their crappy console. If a first party company pays for a game to be developed they're doing that is it's an exclusive title that appeals to their console userbase or to get more console sales. Of course it's going to be an exclusive title. It's not holding a title hostage because the entire reason the game exists at all is to be an exclusive title. It's not personal for a company to reject a previous pitch and approve a future one after they're established. It's business. --- Kind Regards, Darmik <cite>Darmik posted [p:895123525] in Xbone 2018...
