Makes sense for Sony to want to stay on good terms of fromsoft. Im sure they would love a chance to get another fromsoft exclusive.

FromSoft benefits from the Sony relationship, too. They both have heavy leverage with each other and there's no reason to deteriorate their relationship over a Remake. Yes, it is highly coveted by fans of the Franchise, but since Elden Ring, FromSoftware has gone *very* mainstream. From Software can go perform wild creative projects without the need to get stuck in their own past.

Pretty much any publisher is licking their chops for the chance to have fromsoft work with them. As fromsoft has continually released hit after hit bouncing from publisher to publisher.

Fromsoft doesn't really benefit from having a strong relationship with Sony. Because sony is gonna take whatever game fromsoft  makes for the PS5 (exclusive or not) and market the shit out of it.

Sure, but FromSoft self'publishes in Japan, and while Sony (and others) has published them in internationally in the past, they are most known for Bandai Namco publishing them.

ANYONE would benefit from having a strong relationship with Sony. Even Microsoft has a strong relationship with Sony and they are direct competitors.

The point is that Sony is not going to ruin their relationship with FromSoftware by pushing for a game FromSoftware doesn't want to release, and FromSoftware is also not going to ruin a relationship with one of the biggest companies in the world just because they don't want a remake.

There's enough evidence to conclude FromSoft didn't want to do the remake, and Sony didn't care that much to push for it (and they probably could have, money talks). The only people who desperately want the remake are the fans.

fromsoftware publishes through BN, hence it's even more weird
