Some people have this ludicrous idea that Sony is poor or something and can't buy more expensive studios/other companies shit is too funny
I heard Jim has to whore out his body just to afford the bus fare to work

They've ported to pretty much every platform since the DC. I would say PC gamers are celebrating prematurely, but they're thirsty for quality games, so they can have their fun.Nixxes makes some of the best PC ports. Weird aquisition, unless they want to port more games to PC or just put them to work on some random assets and such?

I have 82 hours on cyberpunk pc, it was not even remotely in the same universe of avengers in terms of bugs, a multyplayer game where multyplayer didn't worked and with the worst performance i ever saw in my pc, we are talking 10-15 frames unplayable shit at 1080p with high\medium setting on a fucking 2070super, the game was beyond broken, i can accept not working or abstent features, but i cannot with a literally unplayable game, i know the situation on console with cyberpunk was sad as hell, but people need to understand that not everyone had the same problem on pc.Still waiting to get into Cyberpunk eh?
Welcome to Playstation Studios, Squeenix! *mic drop* Sony proceeds to crash the internets.One interesting thing is that it is one of the main studios Square Enix used for porting games on PC. Either SE si not planning to port the games on PC, or found somebody else or...Square Enix doesn't need that anymore.
I'll take your word for it - played the beta, it really didn't do anything for me so I haven't really kept up since.I have 82 hours on cyberpunk pc, it was not even remotely in the same universe of avengers in terms of bugs, a multyplayer game where multyplayer didn't worked and with the worst performance i ever saw in my pc, we are talking 10-15 frames unplayable shit qt 1080p with high\medium setting on a fucking 2070super.
I played cyberpunk at almost max details at 4k30\1800p60 with the same pc.
And if you think that i'm exagerating, watch any OT for that game in any forum\reddit you can find.
Too bad Jim isn't as attractive as Phil. He could totally skip the bus and get an Uber or Taxi then.
The beta was already an appetizer of the complete game.I'll take your word for it - played the beta, it really didn't do anything for me so I haven't really kept up since.
I played Cyberpunk on a Pro, which may have had affected my opinion...
And Sony gamers laughed at MS their strategy cross gen and pc ports ..Looks like Sony is all-in on porting those PlayStation exclusives to PC and wants the process to be faster. Can't wait to play Horizon 2 on PC someday free from the constraints of a Sony console.
Imagine the mods. That would be sick.Gran Turismo on PC
It's easy. If I were a PC gamer I'd be excited to get games that would normally otherwise be exclusive to consoles. If I owned a PS5 I'd still get the game. If I gamed on XBOX I could still play these games on a PC.How
How is bifurcating the Sony 1st party titles a win for "everyone"? Not mention games on PC are cheaper and the contradicting statement from Sony that 1st party games are best on playstation.....
I think your perception of the phrase "win for everyone" is a bit warped lol.
Meanwhile phil Spencer as he gets ready to work the corners of Los Angeles....
be careful i heard if you go sony there is no going back. ask MBG and Crapgamer.Looks like Sony is all-in on porting those PlayStation exclusives to PC and wants the process to be faster. Can't wait to play Horizon 2 on PC someday free from the constraints of a Sony console.

As best I can tell, the only real outlier in Microsoft's acquisitions is Bethesda.But you see the difference between what Sony is doing and what MS is doing right? They aren't doing acquisitions the same. You can't really compare them to each other. That's why it's not an arms race. They aren't running the same race when it comes to acquisitions.
As best I can tell, the only real outlier in Microsoft's acquisitions is Bethesda.
Did I say they have?But they didn't buy any major IP with this acquisition (same with Housemarque and Bluepoint). Why can't you guys see the fucking difference between this and a publisher full of multiplatforms IPs? The difference is so clear I wonder how your brains work.
just give me Bloodborne on PC
Based. One of my favorite movies and actors of all time.

Sony acquiring Housemarque is, in my eyes, functionally equivalent to Microsoft buying Playground Games or Undead Labs in 2018. Both studios had only ever made Xbox / PC games, so it was super "organic". Sony acquiring Nixxes (who only have a few games under their belt but a lot of work on Xbox and PC alike) is like Microsoft picking up something like Compulsion Games, although there isn't any sort of direct correlation obviously.
I understand that their strategies on studio acquisitions (and how deep their pockets are) obviously vary wildly between both companies. But they're both doing it.
Nadella himself is on record saying they're still in the market for acquisitions, even massive ones. So, anything can happen.It's a big fucking outlier and I wouldn't be surprised if it is the last on for Microsoft based on what Phil has hinted at. I think Sony is pretty happy with the stable of IPs they currently have and the creativity of the teams they own but I'd never say never to them trying something similar.
So PS now has one of the best porting studios. All PS exclusives going to PC. CONFIRMED.

The problem is people get too emotionally involved in these and use stupid reasonings to cheerlead or villianize acquisitions that have no basis in business reality. Rarely understand it given none of these acquisitions are filling my own bank account.
I'll admit, Bethesda was a huge outlier of an aquisition.But that's a HUGE outlier though.
Even Xbox fans have stated that MS is now getting serious with their Xbox division once that Bethesda/Zenimax purchase went through.
It's an arbitrary, emotionally-stunted, goalpost-shifting tactic though. Even if IP were not acquired, resources that were once available to multiple platform holders were acquired, and now those resources are no longer available to them.But they didn't buy any major IP with this acquisition (same with Housemarque and Bluepoint). Why can't you guys see the fucking difference between this and a publisher full of multiplatforms IPs? The difference is so clear I wonder how your brains work.
At least they are fun to troll. I'm curious if Microsoft's strategy will work. Game Pass is a super neat service but I worry about them getting a large enough subscriber base to make it sustainable at the current quality level.
I'll admit, Bethesda was a huge outlier of an aquisition.
But if Sony buys Square Enix (as some in this thread are speculating) then I'll be interested to see how that "it's not an arms race" quote gets spun. Tomb Raider, Just Cause, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Life is Strange, etc. are all pretty big franchises to get locked behind platform exclusivity. I'd say far more so than the likes of Fallout, Elder Scrolls, and Wolfenstein.
However there are some other ways to look at this, because from a messaging POV this acquisition kind of flies in the face of what Ryan & Hulst have been saying for a while. Or maybe better to say, what a "certain segment" of the fanbase have been insisting for a while when it comes to the nature of Sony's acquisitions. The main talking points they've been using are that Sony does acquisitions of companies that have "essentially" exclusively done work for Sony in the past anyway, and have a strong history of developing games for their platforms.
Nixxes fits neither of those.
Yes, they've done a lot of ports to PlayStation platforms over the years, but they've also done a ton for other platforms. In fact, if you check their wiki, most of their work has been with Microsoft platforms, either Windows or Xbox consoles...
Additionally, Nixxes hasn't really "developed" any games of their own, as they have handled ports throughout their history. This makes them similar to Bluepoint, with the differentiation being that Bluepoint has also done remakes of games, particularly recently like with Demons Souls... But the reason I bring all of this up is because for a "certain slice" of the fanbase/gaming community, they have essentially centered their idea on Sony's acquisitions targeting developers; even under the label of studios, the focus has seemingly been around developers, which implies they create their own games. At least so far, that isn't the case for Nixxes.
Arms race would have been Take2. Imagine the seppuku's.But remember, it's not an arms race guys
This is most assuredly to assist with porting 1st party Playstation games to PC.Have they even made anything? Goggle pulled up a Tomb Raider remake and an announced (but non-existent) Marvel project. Bit bizzarre to announce an aquisition without any kind of a pedigree.
Only on EGS and for Linux, no windows support. XDPC gamers get ready for Avalanche of Sony games coming to Steam soon
Lmao, I'm not one to go into console warring so point your "thirsting" comments to some other members.They've ported to pretty much every platform since the DC. I would say PC gamers are celebrating prematurely, but they're thirsty for quality games, so they can have their fun.
