lol, what does any supposed bias have to do with a word I typed? Take out the irrelevant stuff about how Sony helps studios, and you're left with you implying From is "mostly" responsible. So should they not "mostly" get the credit? Or does a 20 year history and 60+ released games not mean a thing until Sony Japan graces you with their presence |
Assisted is the word. Assisted. Any way you slice it Sony helped and published it. They just didn't believe the game would become as huge as it did. Sony has gained a huge reputation for not just paying companies to make games but helping them make it. Demon Souls was supposed to be a successor to Kings Field, but the head of Sony Japan saw the flaws in those games and wanted to help make he game better. It was a tandem creation even though it came from the spiritual roots of Kings Field. This is why I give Software major credit for the game because at its core it is their game, but without Sony the direction would've been similar to their past games. Dark Souls is an offshoot product of the same concept. Anytime Sony and Software make a game its something special.
My only regret was that Sony couldn't help them with Enchanted Arms because that was multiplat from the start. Game would've been so much better.
