Mortal Kombat 1 General Discussion Media Thread

Personally, I don’t see Sony ever purchasing WB since it’s been a sinking ship of debt for a while now. Unless WBs is just giving away all their IPs out of desperation. I’m not convinced. Sony is still trying to figure out why they bought Bungie for over 3 billion and yet to have anything to show for it. Sony isn’t like Microsoft and can just set giant piles of money on fire and walk away.

Apparently SONY is more interested in WB Games. And even then they just want certain assets.

Speaking of which... Legacy Kollection got me excited. I am so hoping for 3D Era... Gods if they add 3D Era into this Kollection, I will be the happiest I have been in 10 years, when it comes to MK.
 
Apparently, the split between Warner and Discovery is going to be made in a way that Discovery inherits most of the debt...and CNN, =P

I am also not really sure if Sony is capable of acquiring Warner, because...I seem to recall an old news where Sony spun off a bank...because they couldn't make it profitable.

Either way, I find it fun to imagine what-if scenarios.

Oh, yay! Just what's needed. Another fucking Sony exclusive fighting game (see SFV and the latest Marvel Tokon for further reference).
:rolleyes::rolleyes:
 
Idk this whole marvel Tokon thing reminds me of that tatsunoko vs capcom game on the Wii situation all over again. Outside of smash Bros, fighting games never really thrive when they’re locked to a certain console. KI and SF5 are perfect examples of this. At least it’s a “new ip” and not an already established franchise locked to a certain platform.

KI and SFV are perfect examples as to why I don't want either Sony or MS buying up WB, though.
Sony could easily try to make MK exclusive to just PS5 / PS6 and PC.
At least with MS it could be argued that they're going more 3rd party now, but Sony likes to take IPs and make them exclusive to THAT console.
SFV (Sony funded) and Spider-Man (Sony licensed) are examples of Sony taking well-known IPs an making them exclusive.
On the other hand, DOOM and Indiana Jones are playable on both Sony and MS consoles & on PC, despite both being published by MS / MS owned Bethesda.
