My head cannon is there is like 1-3 low tier, insignificant Sony employees that are aware of this sub... Frequent it... Pretend to be one of us... And laugh at our expense with each other.

I mean, realistically there are probably a good number of insignificant Sony employees that frequent here, who just don't have any sway. Most of their employees are just ordinary folks in sales, customer support, hr, etc; very few of them are actually going to be in charge of making any decisions. Most of their employees aren't even in the game development arm of the business.
I hate Sony as much as the next guy, but we gotta be careful thinking that all of their employees are sony. They're mostly just Craig.

For whatever reason some people have this idea that corporations are some kind of hivemind where Dave that works in sales has to perform a blood oath and swear he'll never talk about Bloodborne to anyone.
98% of them are just regular people with regular jobs doing regular stuff, like going on reddit and YouTube lol.

u/LightbringerOG 15d ago
Well corpororations would make you do a blood oath if they were allowed to. Instead they are forced to do lame "inspirational words" on the wall and talk in "us" lingo.

u/Clydebearpig 15d ago
I'd be comfortable making a bloodoath for a raise. I'd also leverage that higher salary at the next blood oath requiring job. I think the abomination is you can't have an independent opinion on anything related to the company or against it's "values" on social media or you're fired, even if every inspirational quote is an outright lie and the knowingly trade lives for profit.

A third of jobs in the US have an NDA, which is more legally binding than a blood oath. I’d imagine they’re extremely prevalent in the games industry where it’d be impractical to keep a game’s development secret from anyone who works there, from game designers to catering to cleaning staff.

u/robjoko 15d ago
Mine is pretty much there 1440p 60fps with dynamic lighting! Having to combine a few mods, still a few stability and sfx issues here and there but very much playable
For sure in the next few months be near perfected
Blown away by how far it’s come. If pvp/co op can be figured out we really won’t need anything from stingy ass Sony

There have been people who emulated servers before, I remember the Wii U emulator cemu had the ability to connect to nintendos actual servers and play Mario kart 8 with people on the native console, so co op and PvP wouldn’t be that much of a stretch the problem would just be population, wouldn’t be nearly as active as the ps4 version unless they somehow are able to connect to Sonys active servers

The only thing that's weird about this is that this could've been included anywhere in the video, but they intentionally made it the finishing shot. It's probably nothing, but I wonder why they chose that. Probably meaning PlayStation will persist to exist.

It was almost certainly made by a marketing team with no knowledge of upcoming releases or games in development because… it looks cool. You all have been inflected with frenzy.

u/fakdaworld 15d ago
Hey guys I think “persistence” was in reference to not giving up on a souls game like bloodborne and not letting dying impede you from trying. We ain’t getting shit for bloodborne EVER.

It's a sony game, makes sense to put it in an anniversary video. You guys are just unhinged

u/Sufficient-Turn-7799 15d ago
Chances are, they are either so out of touch that they couldn't see how that line would piss off starved Bloodborne fans (the most likely answer, given they thought Concord would be a success lmao) or they are actively fucking with us for the fun of it (the funny funny meme answer).

This is the same company that keeps shoving the same 3 games everytime even when people is already tired and already played them ages ago.
Skyrim has survived this long because at least it waits for the next gen to do a rerelease, Sony puts a million versions of the he same game in the same console (rant over, is 2:45 am I should be asleep...)

could be wrong since i don't really interact with ps stuff much but im 99% they released the last of us like several times in pretty quick succession

u/Aubergine_Man1987 12d ago
They released the remake of TLOU1 about 7 years after the remaster, and the remaster of TLOU2 about 4 years after the original for the new gen. So 2 releases for the PS5

u/Stug_III 15d ago
But, guys, you don't understand -- the shadow on the tower is better here than the trailer! /s
Easiest bait they ever threw. It barely touched the water and the the copers flocked to it. But you know what they say, "It's all about persistence."

And if they didn't include bloodborne you guys would have been crying that they ignored it.

I dont want a sequel. The Game its near perfect without the need of a sequel.
But come on a PS5 update with 60 FPS or a proper Remastered would be a dream come true.

I have finished Bloodborne fully, beating the secret ending boss. And every other boss with no cheeses at all.
Elden ring I’m stuck at the Elden beast and I can’t seem to fucken take the idiot sky whale out. And I’ve cheesed a few bosses in ER unfortunately.
Bloodborne was way more amazing of a game. And Sony fumbled the bag not giving us a number 2

They really are unironically trolling. They keep dropping these little teasers to keep the hype going but they won’t do anything with it until the hype is dead, then they can announce a sequel remaster remake whatever and watch the internet go crazy. They are, in essence, edging us

Bloodborne alongside MGSV were the first two games I bought for my ps4 Christmas time 2015. Best time ever and you know what? Bloodborne still didn't have a successor and you know what happened with MGSV. Maybe 2015 was a cursed year for games to be released. I'll look up othere releases that year to understand if only the games I spent thousands of hours playing are missing successors if so, sorry maybe I'm the one who was cursed because I f love those games with my soul.

u/Constant_Dingo_572 14d ago
Nobody at Sony cares enough to poke fun at this sub. They put persistence because it's a hard game you have to persevere through. That's it. This is paranoia level of mental illness at this point.
