I’m reading verbatim what dudes Twitter account says. It says the contract for demons souls is up.
He doesn’t say anything about Sony or blue points contract up with one another.
Go back and re-read what he said, He was specific in that once Demons souls was completed the contract with SOny had ended. Unless they extended that said contract prior to Demons souls completion. WHich from what I've heard is a thing.
Let's say that Blue Point has continuing work going on at the studio. And I also believe they are not just making titles for just Sony. The only thing that would make them not want the contract with Sony is if Sony got outbid. Which with how Microsoft is dick swinging their bags of money would not doubt it.
But my two cents of what I think and what I've read has been happening. Konami has been shopping around their IP's for the past couple years. Silent hill, Castlevania, Metal gear are all currently live projects in one way or another. Karak from acg was hinting that Microsoft has been talking to Konami. And Konami loves renewable money. So I think your going to see Konami back catelog titles on Gamepass along with possible remakes/new title being made by an external studio, that studio supposedly is possibly Bluepoint. But from What I've heard bluepoint has multiple projects currently. ANd they are possibly for different platforms.
Kojima news is I believe his take on episodic, which I think Microsoft is interested in. So his new "episodic" game is going to be probably on PC/Gamepass/Xbox. ANd Koji Pro has other things in the works, which means just because Sony turned down an episodic, doesnt mean they will turn down a game they think will do very well.
There's been leaks all over the place. And to think Sony would not keep a great relationship with bluepoint is really Xbox fanboys being complete children.
So 2 things are happening. I believe Bluepoint had some conversations with Sony at one point in being brought into the fold. But I believe Microsoft reached out to them to have a game made, and because of this extra contract along with what they have with Sony. I wonder if bluepoint is hedging their bets to see who can give them the better price if they "want" to be bought.
So sky is not falling, Bluepoint is still making games for different platforms, both of those are Sony and possibly Microsoft. I cant confirm the MS talk, but I can confirm they still have something being made that will be on playstation just cant vouch if it's 100% exclusive. Unless it was part of the deal they had prior to Demons souls. Which was part of the Shadow colossus deal. it was a 2-3 game deal.
I think Sony would literally be morons to not continue. Herman would see their value. Issue is if since its contract work, is their price too high for Sony going forward?
