StarMadeKnight Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Take this with a grain of salt, but now that the game is up to pre-order we can look at the description on the psn store, what is worrying me is the fact it says (optional in game purchases) I don't know if it's a mistake but when Activision is involved things get a bit strange. I cannot provide a picture of were it says it as i'm currently using the PS4 Internet and can't upload any pictures, however if you go to the PSN store i'm sure you'll find it. What is everyones thoughts about this? If there is purchasable items in game what do you think they will bee? In game currency, costumes, weaponry etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I just don't understand the decision to go under Activision, why not go with Sony or Bandai Namco again? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soniq Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) We don't know anything about their deal. Maybe Activision contacted them to make a game? They have worked with Platinum in the past, so contracting From for a game doesn't seem that unlikely. edit: The older PS3 Yakuza games and Uncharted Lost Legacy also have that information in their description, and I don't remember them having any microtransactions. Could be just some default text that they didn't bother to delete, just in case. Edited August 21, 2018 by soniq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paleblood Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) It very well may be just skins we're talking about here. I wouldn't have a problem with that. 1 hour ago, Crazy said: I just don't understand the decision to go under Activision, why not go with Sony or Bandai Namco again? Because Sony likely would want to have Bloodborne 2 and Namco on the other hand Dark Souls 4 I imagine. Both of which Miyazaki does not want to do it seems.

J I would be fine with skins, gotta look badass while killing. However i'd draw a line if in-game currency was able to be purchased, weaponry to, unless it's low level stuff that would be obsolete after 2-3 hours of play. 2 hours ago, ziggypossum said: Miyazaki says Activision hasn’t changed Sekiro – “all decisions are made by us” https://www.pcgamesn.com/sekiro-shadows-die-twice/sekiro-shadows-die-twice-activision Suppose we just have to wait and see. Hopefully what, Miyazaki, says is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxie_M0us3 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out to be true. It’s Activision that we’re talking about. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodytears1666 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) Activision it the one, which still sells one full game at normal price in Steam that couldn't be completed in anyway, because being forced to be published unfinished, and this game was legendary. So I expect surprises. Edited August 23, 2018 by Bloodytears1666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undead Wolf Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I wouldn't put much stock into this. As someone pointed out earlier, this text even appears in games with no DLC all, so it doesn't mean anything. Besides, I highly doubt FromSoftware would even allow such a thing. They seem to have complete creative control over the product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlackFool Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 This is just silly fear mongering. There's no reason to think there would be MTX, even if Activision is publishing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have every reason to think that there would be mtx's, look at GT Sport for example, they said there wouldn't be mtx's in it but here we are a year later with mtx's in GT Sport. It could be that there won't be mtx's in, Sekiro, but we will have to wait untill release and possibly even longer to see if they keep there promise.

Undead Wolf Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Okay, some of you guys are being a bit ridiculous now. I get that Activision doesn't have a good reputation, and for many legitimate reasons, but there's nothing at all to suggest they are going to push microtransactions into Sekiro. Maybe save your outrage for something other than baseless speculation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no reason to think there would be MTX, even if Activision is publishing. I agree that it's fear mongering, but I assure you that there is plenty of reason to think that MTX would be involved. After all, Activision is a company that bases much of its profit projections off of this. As for the first response to the OP, I've always seen FROM as a black sheep of Japan. Even back in the day (King's Field on PS1, e.g.), they've felt more like a western developer. It doesn't surprise me that they don't want to work with Japanese publishers (who are hardly any better than Activision these days).

It's good to build confidence pre-launch and secure support of FromSoft fans, but, if something goes wrong then that kind of statement could hurt their rep as the fanbase can't blame anyone else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
