Sony is in the process of acquiring FromSoftware, according to insiders - It was nice while it lasted, fellas

You have it backwards. Sony are called Soyny for a reason. They'll buy the company and have them churning out generic third person action games with a "strong female protagonist" that is a troon, where you find collectables and the game is impossible to lose to pander to Twitter and game journos. They'll force out anyone who doesn't tow the party line, assuming they don't quit.

In ten years well get articles and forum posts opinioning about how FromSoftware has fallen, the same way Naughty Dog, Rare, and Bioware are today. Their downfall will be blamed on "being to esoteric", "unable to keep up with the times", or even "FromSoftware was never any good without Miyazaki" rather than admit the obvious everybody can see now.
It's doubful that will ever happen. A Game being in third person is very broad. There is a huge difference in gameplay between Returnal, Ratchet and Clank, God of War and Horizon, the difference is even wider when compared to games like Farcry and Assassin's Creed and far cry is first person while AC is third person and yet they share more mechanics with each other than sony's first party offerings.

Is there a better source than NeoGaf and a couple rumor blogs? I'm not seeing anything on Gemetsu or any of the other big Japanese gaming sites.
Famitsu has nothing reporting on it (yet) and they constantly write articles related to entertainment media (anime & manga) not just videogames.

There isn't any, it's an entirely hypothetical situation that's been posed as a rumor. Any type of deal this size won't be heard of until it's done, not while it's in progress.

You don't even play the Souls series. You bought Kirby instead of Elden Ring.
 
That's doubtful because it's always been directly compared to Microsoft.

Microsoft has always been overly strict since the mid 90's when they started removing developer jokes from Windows 95.

Enough said.

Third person perspective, loads of exposition, unskippable cutscenes, decent gameplay loop. I'm surprised you didn't mention Spider-Man (PS4) as that's the only Sony IP that deviated from that formula.

The gameplay is the main event, that's the part that matters most. Stuff like Exposition is part of the framework to the overall game, but it's window dressing.

lol

I may consider playing Elden Ring on PC when I'll eventually obtain a full week, free of work and other IRL stuff, that allows me to play in long uninterrupted gaming sessions (especially for this kind of game). It could have been otherwise possible if the game was released back when my country forced two lockdowns in 2020 (which was also the time I was able to play DaS2 & DaS3). Until then, I play games in handheld format because I can instantly pause and resume anytime.

Difference is that I don't pretend to be some kind of persona.

I'm not pretending either, and you don't need a full week of uninterrupted time for the game. You can clear most of the game in a weekend up to the point where you have to light the Erd tree on fire at that point finish whatever side content you want because that's the first point of no return. You can even do the Haligtree before burning it as well.
 
I’m gonna need to see more than Neogaf and a couple shit “rumors” before I believe this.

Sounds an awful lot like the report Square was being sold to a western publisher/developer which was false last year.
oh yeah that did happen
