I dont, but it seems like theres alot of pressure on whoever goes exclusive with PS. I dont know how Sony will hold on to there exclusives outside of there own PS Studios, especially when the studio gets more success.
Well, Sony gets many 2nd or 3rd party exclusives every year, during the Jimbo era they signed a record number for this generation.
Who knows what it's going to happen after it, with the projects coming later from these teams. Pretty likely if they are successful enough and had a good experience working together Sony will ask them to continue working together.
Some companies may be interested to continue working with them, others may have got a better offer elsewhere, or may consider that they need to move to multiplatform to make more money because games are getting to expensive and the Sony money isn't enough. Or maybe once they got enough money may decide it's better for them to self publish.
Or they may ask a certain amount of money to Sony that Sony may consider isn't worth it.
There are a lot of possibilities, and I assume each case is different.
I know but we’ve only had 1 VR game from Miyazaki since 2015. After the Elden Ring success and everyone pretending that exclusives are bad for business, I see them going the Sega, Capcom and now Square route saying they want to be more Multiplatform.
In previous generations these or other publishers did this thing of "from now on we'll rely less on exclusives and on games focused for a specific region, to instead focus more on multiplatform games with a global appeal".
Remember GTA, DMC, Final Final Fantasy, Tekken, etc. used to be exclusive and at some point became multiplatform, for the same reaon they are doing it now: games getting too expensive for the next generation, so need the money from more platforms.
Yeah they didnt work with each other much. I just feel Sony/Playstation put them back on the map, with the early PS4 ports and putting him on stage. Then next they are bought by Xbox. Kinda same with Ninja Theory
Well, Double Fine were popular because their heads previously made popular adventure games at Lucasfilm, and then because of their multiplatform games like Psychonauts and Brutal Legend.
They did some mobile only, PC only or Xbox only stuff, but I don't remember them doing any PS exclusive game.
Regarding Ninja Theory yes, Sony did put them on the map and later MS bought them. I assume that after the Hellblade 2 failure MS may shut down the studio next year, and Sony may hire some talent or sign some kind of deal with an studio of former Ninja Theory devs.
Would be nice to have them on board. I really enjoyed Stellar Blade surprisingly.
I agree. Still haven't completed it but so far I love the game.
I think they are going a great job scouting these Asian countries finding people like them or MiHoyo. I'd bet games like Wukong and Phantom Blade Zero will be pretty good too.
But let's hope they diversify more the type of game, souls and hack & slash are great but I think they have to differentiate themselves more because recently we're getting a ton of "Chouls" (Chinese Souls) games.
