I thought they'd be "just" a PC port studio ?

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - Creating the PC Version

Find out how Eidos-Montréal, Nixxes and AMD collaborated to create the PC version of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.DX12 Support for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is no...

short glimpse, but you get the point. You can also ask about why you'd need to work with an internal Art Director too (higher graphical options, better textures, better lighting etc.). It's often important when a game is already in development, but post-release (aka. launched on PS5) requires such effort as you're re-releasing the game.

Sony, give me my AAA hybrid console/mobile Fate game.
With Fate's amazing lore and high production values, such a game is destined for greatness.

AAA Fate game would be awesome.

Yup, something is happening.

And Lucid is a great choice to make an Twisted Metal game.

You've just guaranteed another 10+ pages of speculation. I like the way you operate ;)

 

[Markratos]

Bluepoint is an easy bet. But there are other wild cards.

 

[Adookah]

My bet is also on Bluepoint and maybe Lucid.

It the perfect IP to do something like genshin .
Like i much rather something that not gatch but at this point i would take even that if we get a AAA fate game.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Oh shit a wild matt appears lol

 

[poklane]

Yeah I wonder why they don't count VASG but Nixxes, etc...

Got it lol

Click to shrink...

Precious Tritium made a pretty good point, could be this:

I think there is a difference between a studio like Nixxes that while a support studio also leads development of ports of games. They have their own projects that they ship, even if they aren't the original developer.
Whereas Studio Malaysia is a support studio and is never going to "ship" a game.

He can definitely say anything right now and in half and hour we would have a new OT.

Lucid, bluepoint…….?

I have a feeling Jim is gonna announce something during his talk

Click to shrink...

I won't say matt is hyping anything but consolidation of the industry is a fact .

 

[Thera]

I don't think they both would tease something that we know (in that case Bluepoint). So Lucid (but I don't think Shinobi would tease something about his old company) or Ember Lab ? They were quick with Housemarque.

Can't say I have high hopes for it myself

Click to shrink...

I've always said destruction all stars team should be the one to do it. Mechanically, graphically, and presentation wise destruction all stars is a great game, its the overall gameplay loop and shallowness of it that killed it for me.

I have no doubt in my mind they will do twisted metal justice

This will be a nice redemption arc for Lucid

Click to shrink...

Exactly my take. There a good game here, but they didn't found the right mix.

 

[Adookah]

Lucid, bluepoint…….?

Yeah I forgot about that. Could be.

 

[Deleted member 4976]

Ember Lab with Sony funding and QA could make something absolutely phenomenal.

 

[Iwao]

And they arent counting some other support-only studios. Before the Nixxes acquisition, Xdev's place in PS Studios was probably pretty nebulous.

Click to shrink...

They were named XDev Europe before but I don't really see how the purpose has changed massively since Nixxes. Don't they still collaborate with and produce third-party studios working on first-party games, but now on a global scale?

I see XDev as a support studio in a project management sense and Nixxes more in the technical management side.

Click to shrink...

Yeah, that's a good distinction.

Ember Lab with Sony funding and QA could make something absolutely phenomenal.

I'd be stoked if they end up working with XDev on their next project.

If the rumours about Twisted Metal are true then Lucid must go to the top of the speculation table regarding acquisitions. Regardless of its sales performance Sony must have been happy with Destruction Allstars if they're handing over an important legacy IP for Lucid to work on next.

Personally if there's news coming soon I hope it's about Helldivers 2!

 

[BabyDontHurtMe]

Alright is something gonna drop on Thursday? What's happening here?

I highly doubt they are thrilled with the performance of Destruction Allstars. They may see that the foundations Lucid created were well suited to a new TM game, however.

Reading certain replies this is sounding like a possibility. Would be nice timing for the new OT.

Just started death stranding and I have no fucking idea what's going on but I'm pretty hooked. Lmao.

Apologies, missed the line regarding 'despite sales performance'.

 

[BabyDontHurtMe]

Sony does approach acquisitions with the team's potential in mind above their commercial viability. Talent speaks louder than sales units to Sony. Returnal isn't a multi-million seller, but it's a great fucking game and Housemarque is a really talented team. Firesprite is a huge team that's rapidly growing. Nixxes does stellar work with PC porting. Sony is looking at the long-term with their acquisitions and we'll see how much they'll consolidate in the coming years.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Apologies, missed the line regarding 'despite sales performance'.

Click to shrink...

No worries. Just nice to be positive about expansions and new partnerships for the first time in ages, as they've shut down a lot of really good developers over the years like Evolution, Zipper and Guerrilla Cambridge.

It's a joke, but ngl I checked his twitter to see if he said anything lol

 

[JAY_HORROR]

In this day age its inevitable that more acquisitions will happen in the industry. It may very well be the final confirmation of Blue Point or someone we aren't thinking of like Firesprite.
