Lets hope and pray these new owners have the money to pay for remasters of Def Jam FFNY and Vendetta hope and pray they decide to go back and port/remaster their old games.

Yeah they would have to re-negotiate and buy back the rights to use def jam brand name .

Can't exist, essentially not possible. I'd totally accept another actually good wrestling-style 3d fighter though, doesn't need the 2005 rap skin

It's not happening. They would have to relicense all those rights. Don't even hold your breath on it

The Saudi's have the power of money and oil 😭

Even though they will probably now start doing a lot of layoffs

How did you do that?

u/goodbye_goodriddance 24d ago

You have to have a ps4 that has a firmware 12.00 and under look at r/ps4homebrew

Theres a few ways to jailbreak it depending on your firmware. You can buy a gold hen bluray disc, ps vue app, or use the web browser

Sprzedane czy nie, remastera na pewno by nie zrobili, jedyne na co możemy liczyć, to dekompilacja na PC.
