The Supreme Shecklestein Avi Arad has already confirmed this deal is not by any means final. After the leak Nintendo could very well pull out.

>>67927055
But it's still on the table though, to be honest I'm surprised at that much.

C'mon /co/, I thought you'd at least talk about it.

they're doing something, alright

>>67927055
Why do people think that the leak means that Sony will just 180 out of all its plans? That's moronic.

"Oh no now they all know what we were planning to do. Instead of use that to build hype, let's just blow ut all up and start over! We wouldn't want to look predictable!"

Stupid.

>>67926999

You had to bring that up.

I don't watch animated films much, but wouldn't Donkey Kong and his crew be better because these movies about animals (madagascar and the ice age ones) are very popular right now?

>A recent hack of Sony Pictures

It's a hoax. North Korea is trying to create chaos and destroy the Glorious Western Video Game Industry.
Yes, Kim Jong Un thinks just saying a movie is being made means they will make the movie.
No, he does not realize those companies are based in Japan not America.

always thought a cgi Mario movie would be a good idea

>Still no Bubble Bobble or Kirby movie in the works

>>67928187
Not that Sony would pull out, but Nintendo would. After all, if Sony can't protect it's projects then that's an extra risk.

u r da stupid.

>>67926999

If they do make a Mario movie, I hope it has lots of cameos.

Who'd you want to see in the movie, even if it's just a quick scene or as a background character? Maybe Goombella?

>>67931634
Peach, Luigi and Bowser.
But not Toad, fuck that guy.

Well, in the short term it means they'll probably make new games to tie in.

But more importantly, we're closer than ever to getting an animated NiGHTS!

NiGHTS, man!

Whats so bad about Avi Arad?

A film adaption of Super Mario Galaxy would be really coo'

If Luigi doesn't have at least 75% of the screen time than Mario does I refuse to even touch it.

>>67926999

>>67932215
He's the primary reason why the ASM films didn't do as well as they could've. Both the cast and crew of both films have made it clear they would've been exponentially better if it weren't for Arad and other producers demanding certain changes. Hell, Arad could be blamed for SM3's overcrowding.

>>67932410
You think in a world where Capcom doesn't give a shit about Megaman and Rare has been beaten down to the point where they beg Microsoft just to make something that isn't Avatar Sports (and are refused), that Sony even remembers Nights?

>>67932388
>tfw Marvel couldn't get Spidey to show up in Captain America 3

Still, if it's not going to bet about the Hero Registration program, i have no idea what the would do with that title. And if they do use the HRP for the plot, then my autism will be pretty pissed since the MCU is missing a shitload of things like the interdimensional prison, FF, the X-men and also Spidey.

>>67932693

NiGHTS is Sega.

Pay attention.

>>67932711

He'd only be making noises, and maybe occasionally talking, I'd imagine
I can't imagine them making him talk at length. I'd rather see a series of shorts like the Pikmin ones.

>>67932783
well his original job was to be mario for promotional events before they put voices in the games at all. He did quite a lot of talking when he did that

>>67932783

Besides, they might go the Mario and Luigi route.

I'm okay with this.

I'm not okay with Avi Arad.

Maybe Nintendo will do a repeat of the 1990s and pull the project from Sony at the last minute, especially if they look to the fan reaction of the news. Nintendo could easily pay off any fines that might be incurred by pulling out, too.

I hope it does go through but most likely it will not since the heads of sony are said to have a meeting next week about the leaks with the most like being the firing of Amy Pascal

A Japanese CGI movie based off of a vidya.

Why not choose Disney? They seem to have a better understanding of "family entertainment." And since Nintendo is often dubbed the Disney of Videogames, it seems like a better match. Plus Disney had Nintendo characters in Wreck It Ralph, the companies aren't strangers to each other.

>>67936347
Because Disney aren't exactly the cheapest mother fuckers. It's like saying "Why not get a $5000 computer?" when your budget is only $400.

Disney is expensive as fuck and are literally evil. Like, if Satan ran an animation company evil. Sony is, well, also evil but demonstrably less than Disney. Plus, and this is a big one, Sony is japanese. Japanese companies really REALLY like to work with each other if they can, seeing as the mutual cultural understand is there. Ninty and Sony can hash out legal details in Japan and then dictate what the studio needs to do. It's without question the best option for them, plus hey, Sony is actually kinda relevant again! (for a short time).

Sly Pooper sucks, it is really out dated furry garbage from the early 90's. The last game was the final nail in the coffin, if Sony wasn't retarded they would get Crash Bandicoot rights back unless Activison is asking millions for it even if they will never use it again because they are [TRIGGER WARNING] Jews

Lots of dialog. Little dialog would only work for Pikmin style shorts.

I was on the fence about your opinion before, but now I know for sure

>>67936557
You joke but that's not completely out of the question. In fact it's not even all that crazy. I mean Nintendo would be the only guys in the biz with the cash to spend on the Playstation brand and SCE Japan. Now of course someone like Amazon could make a much bigger offer, but if they actually care enough to keep Playstation in vidya hands, it's either Nintendo or Microsoft. Or one of those Chinese companies that fund those Korean grindan' mmos, which would be the worst case scenario.

>>67936679
Well I unironically got suspended for the same comment under the same context. Thought it would help.

Regardless of that the content still stands, Sly Cooper doesn't holds up, it is like remaking Sonic SatAM again. The worst part is that the last game had a pretty bad dialogue, and bad gameplay to match, and movies based on game franchise do have a terrible, and saddening history.

R&C doesn't look promising either, it is literally a Ps4 title without quick time events.

>>67928187
>Why do people think that the leak means that Sony will just 180 out of all its plans?

If anything, the leak showed us that the sony top brass are absolute morons who have no idea what they're doing.

>>67936686
Investors want MS to pull out (Insert sex joke or your choice here) from games, and tablets because tablets are literally cheap toys for children, and the elderly. Investors want Ms to go back to enforcing Windows on every device in existence and remind people why they could do worse so they don't think of switching to any free OS... in their defense Apple is a shit.

Anyhow MS isn't likely, Google, and Amazon could however and that is fucking terrifying. Amazon can't get their stupid fucking tablets to gain momentum, and Google is just as bad as Chinese companies investing on Korean MMOs. Sure Chinese companies might turn the PS brand into the successor to the Super Mega Son IV, but Google would turn it into PieDiePie: The Experience featuring classics like Minecraft and Flappy Bird as exclusives.

If Nintendo bought the PS Brand that would be the best possible outcome, outside of Sony miraculously recovering, but if life has demonstrated us something time and again without a fail is that everything will turn out as bad as you think or worse.

>>67936881
Nintendo tripled it's profits this year. Sony will once again lose billions. Although I long for those PS2 halcyon days, their end is nigh. It's only a matter of time. But hey, if Nintendo gets SCE Japan the Last Guardian might actually come out! Wii U exclusive.

I think it would be neat if most of what Luigi and Mario say was in Italian with subtitles, at least when they're talking to each other. There is no way that would happen though.

M&L are common plumbers out of luck, they stumble into the Mushroom Kingdom by fate, accident, magic.

A LOZ like prophecy says the men in red and green will save the day. Mario and Luigi each get a glimpse of Peach and Daisy, and for plot reasons they cannot go back until they finish their quest. The Toads and Toadette help them out along the way.

Both step up to the challenge ahead, and save the Princesses, Bowser is really intimidating, with just a healthy pinch of humor to make it him look threatening, but not evil.

A pretty straight forward, by the numbers story about the unlikely heroes who save the day. An anon mentioned cloudy with a chance of meatballs, just make it like that, and it would be perfect.

>>67936939
>you eat a chunk of Whacka's head to heal yourself

Man what the fuck Mario.

>>67936794
Probably not the traditional Peach get's kidnapped story. I assume they'd do something with more complexity for a full length feature. Nothing on the level of Paper Mario (unfortunately) but I see everyone in the main cast playing a role. Especially my main nigga Bowser.

>>67936926
Fuck that, I just want Nintendo to get the rights to Soul sacrifice, Pursuit Force, Socom, Syphon Filter, and Loco Roco. You know all the games Sony had that made the Ps2 such a great console.

>Socom V
>Published by Nintendo
>Developed by Platinum / Retro

I could just die right after playing that, life would be extremely disappointing afterwards.

Sony aren't just in the game business. How could they possibly sell their gaming brand if it's still associated strongly with televisions and whatever else?

>>67936983

Sony has been hemorrhaging money since the ps3 era, so I wouldn't be surprised if sony might try to get on nintendeo's good side should things get any worse.

>>67929228

At least John leguizamo is still alive!

>>67936997
Do you know where Sony makes the most enormous bulk of it's profits? Insurance. TVs and mobile are hemorrhaging money and any rational CEO would have sold them/spun them off by now. The PlayStation brand could easily be spun off/sold as well. I mean just because you buy a PS4 doesn't mean you buy a Sony TV. The games division makes a tiny tiny sliver of the profits for Sony, and before this baffling PS4 sales phenomenon, the games division was losing money for a long time. It's definitely within the realm of possibility.

>>67937022
You mean after he got drunk on set and wrecked the car he and Bob were in between takes? Its a miracle ain't it.

>>67936997
Their Tv's are expensive and possibly not worth it, and from personal experience all their other devices suck as well, and they do not have enough studios to actually get games done, they closed most of them, reason why they get times exclusives instead of games.

They still got Sony Music, Tv, and Film. Sony could survive on that.

>>67936557
>Because you can only get people to buy Ps4 under the premise that you at least aren't Microsoft for so long.
Seriously. Going full on Microsoft with the PS4, complete with Xbox Live with paywalls for online play and whatever else. Was really bad move for Sony.

Even if you argue that it "worked" when Microsoft did it. Going ahead and imitate them is not smart.
Microsoft did it first. People know Microsoft for this. It's what people expect.
Sony stood out from Microsoft by not being Microsoft. And lots of people were drawn towards Sony for how they stood out.

But if Sony looks the same as Microsoft? Why would they expect anyone to go to them instead of Microsoft when they look the same?
Granted that Microsoft's ideas for the Xbox One and this generation was beyond ridiculous and awful. Sony trying be Microsoft was really just a move for them to lose identity.

>>67937007
>let them do it.
Okay MAG was good, I give you that, but Retro or Platinum can't literally do no wrong (Except Korra, but let's be honest even the show is a shit), sorry if I sound like a Platinum cock sucking fanboy, but I see something on the likes of Metal Gear meets Vanquish. If Retro handles it they could do something like Perfect Dark again (Part of Rare staff went with Retro, just saying).

I am going to say it now that I am not on /v/ but MS was trying with the Kinect to gain an identity so they became something more than a Halo console, but I am not sure how shitposting won in the end that even MS dropped it, I was actually looking forward to Kinect 2.0 integration with every xbone title given all the good things that kinect could accomplish, check kinect labs etc, alas never was, and MS lost their way and now are betting on the "entertainment" area, basically focusing on Halo and that alone. Halo tv shows, media, books, games, the works.

Now the later is not bad considering Halo CAN be successfully invade other genres, and still be good, but it feels Ms Game Studios lost their drive when the Kinect was dropped, so it is now more Halo. It is like when the Excel guys were told they could not include Easter Eggs anymore, it sucks for everyone.

What is worse is that my niggas at SSI worked on the Kinect, along with the Fury3 / Terminal Velocity guys. So yeah, fuck kids with their Call to minecraft indie bullshit, fuck /v/, and fuck everyone. They have blown it all up, damn them all to hell.
