If you were Brazilian you may not even have this problem but a different one =p

The version I bought in midia for Horizon ZD is incompatible with the gifted complete edition, so I couldn't use the save on there. Had to buy the DLC to play it on PS5 improved and use the same save.

Sounds like a pain in the ass. Fortunately for me, I at least have the physical copy so all it took to just play the game was installing straight to the PS5.  I looked up the transfer process for save files and it doesn't seem too difficult. However, I just decided to do a new run for HZD. If and when I decide to try playing FF7R on a higher difficulty and getting the Intergrade update, I may transfer my save for that.

The reason I wanted my save was just to do the NG+ on maximum difficult and well also experience the DLC portion.

Already plat with still quite some bugs and glitches.

A solid 9 from me that could rise to 9.5 if all of those were solved. Can't give more because of several flaws I saw that weren't bugs but design.

One of the announcements this week that Greg Miller, and now Jeff Grubb, have heard about Sony is their next acquisition is big. The other is an upcoming event for PSVR2.

While they might not know who it is exactly, Greg Miller doesn't leak rumors and has great relationships/sources within PlayStation, while Jeff Grubb has a good track record when it comes to leaks/reveals, and it lines up with Sony shopping for IP. They might not be as credible as Jason Schreier but I'd still put them multiple tiers above "leakers" like Foxy UK, Tidux, or Roberto lol.

I'm going to say it will be one of Capcom, Square, Konami, or Sega. Although I can see Sony acquiring both Capcom and Square over the course of the generation.

Doesn't seem like the other 2 things are happening this week. 

The three things he's heard:

- Spartacus

- PSVR2 showcase

- major acquisition

Greg talked with Jeff Grubb who both mentioned that they had heard the same rumor from multiple people, that Sony is making a "big" acquisition. 

But they're not sure if or when it's happening. They do hear about acquisitions but it's hard to track down what's real and what isn't, because it's all second hand at best. 

I think if Sony has a publisher acquisition ready to be announced, they wouldn't do it until the Bungie acquisition officially goes through.

I've always wondered about the possibility of Sony acquiring Warner Media Discovery similar to how they were interested in Fox. Can anyone confirm that one of Sony's major shareholders offered to front them 70B for that kind of purchase?

It would be magnitudes more disruptive than Microsoft acquiring Activision Blizzard. Sony would become the largest entertainment titan in the industry by far and would be positioned to surpass Netflix in subscribers with an all for one Sony subscription. If they wanted one billion people to use their services having PlayStation, HBO, Warner Brothers, Sony Pictures, Crunchy Roll, Sony Music, Warner Music Group, under one roof goes a long way to achieving that.

If I had to make a wild guess its going to be Square Enix. They've worked with them quite a lot (on recent titles) and have been staple for Sony's platforms throughout many generations.

Haven't heard about this major shareholder, but that would be a power move as I see one, and well that group would also have a big ownership of Sony as a whole since Sony would need to give him shares or something for that injection of capital.

Out of all the Japanese developers/publishers this would be the best acquisition for me. Square also has a popular manga publishing house that would fit well with Sony's ambitions for anime. It would be an acquisition that benefits Sony Corp and not just PlayStation alone. 

With that said, Capcom staff recently got a 30% raise in pay, similar to Sony paying extra to retain staff at Bungie. Could be nothing but it certainly is interesting amid all these rumors.

Yeah they seem to be the best fit. That's not to say Capcom doesn't have its perks either since it has some really good IP's that not only work for games but also for entertainment. Anime and movies for things like DmC, Street Fighter, Dragons Dogma etc would be pretty cool to see in more live action/anime. And the same goes for SE stuff.

But anyway most likely nothing so best not to over-think it lol. Would be cool if either happened, but at the end of the day a rumor is only a rumor xP
