I always wondered that. They did kind of do it the one time when they yoinked PES for Detroit, though that wasn't technically first party, just an IP they own. Why they don't just foist in Dreams or something I'll never know.
Also, MKX is just weird. It's a great game, but it's practically an antique as far as these services go. MK11 routinely sells for less than $20, did Hell Let Loose really take up that much of the budget this month?
Jimbo is about to pull a baller move that will (Bio)shock the world! A Civilization of studios will join the PlayStation Studios Mafia! After this acquisition, Jimbo will take the rest of the year off to party like a Rockstar
I'm going to guess it's about Bluepoint acquisition

It will certainly put a CAP on the COMmunity discussion.
With all the acquisition talk I'm just gonna throw a wild idea based on absolutely nothing out there: buy the WB Studios without DC licenses and have them all work on Marvel games set in the Earth-1048 universe. But yeah if Sony is indeed gonna acquire even more studios I'm not expecting it to be anything on that scale but just individual studios like Sony has always done.
Really hope sony comes through with the Emberlabs offer…. LOOK AT THIS!!!!!!!!!

Wait what is happening? Am I missing out some big news or rumor? 🤔
Yeah teases aside I doubt Sony would ever buy a publisher. I doubt they'd ever go that far.
I'm gonna be disappointed if there really is an acquisition and we didn't get the "Jim Ryan's Cinematic Universe" OT
Two reputable insiders (Shinobi and Matt) made teases about more acquisitions happening. Nothing shocking since of course more acquisitions will happen. It's consolidation, baby!
These 2 posts from Shinobi and Matt:
Shinobi's is in response to Nixxes and Firesprite being added to the PlayStation Studios page on the PlayStation website, Matt's "ha" is in response to Shinobi.
I will seriously consider pitching it again for the next OT. Hopefully things get even more wild by the end of OT23. It's a little annoying that it won't win since it's around the Jim Ryan interview with GamesIndustry.biz.
WB games are probably not worth getting without the licenses but that's still a lot of talented devs to make new IPs so it wouldn't have been a bad idea. That said I think AT&T was asking for a price not worth it for any buyer. These studios aren't worth billions without the Batman/Harry Potter licenses
I'm not bothered by Lucid making Twisted Metal. The gameplay in Destruction was a lot of fun and the game had a ton of personality, it was just the lack of modes and gameplay variety that hampered it. If they have more time and money I'm sure they can make something worthy of the franchise. I mean, it'll probably at least be better than 3 and 4.
While it's easy to understand why devs would feel this way, this very much feels like a game industry thing, whereas in other media leaks and scoops are integral to journalism.
Nah, there's still a lot of quality in those studios. And new IPs are always a possibility.
Good thing I haven't missed the party yet of whatever going to be announced. 😄
And God of War wins the poll.

the diversity was good but ultimately they didn't really have any personality
Yep, this room is so much more hilarious on a 2nd playthrough.
Place bombs at all the chokepoints before you use the workbench.
And you will leave the room without even wasting a bullet lol
Nah make Sweet Tooth a woman if you want to see some real fireworks
Every new video I see of TLOU2 makes me feel like I was playing it wrong, haha.
Oh my God, yes. I can only imagine the thumbnails on some of the Youtube chud channels.
So apparently that mobile WipEout game is a Cookie Clicker-like game. Also, the name of one of the ships is misspelled.
This is like the smallest nitpick ever but lol they misspelled Icaras. Otherwise the game seems fine to waste time, didn't expect it to be cookie clicker style at all.
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...www.youtube.com
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.
Yeah that makes sense :)
I know you don't like acquisitions.
Just please tell me, how bad is it on the consolidation scale?
Well assuming we're not just getting hard trolled, I guess if we hear something then it's either going to be Lucid, Bluepoint or something completely out of left field that no one's going to predict, like Shift Up (Project Eve) or something. Assuming it's announcement will be dropped alongside that "Fireside Chat".
Jimbo about to go Roosevelt on everyone and hit us with the New Deal.

Sony buying the namesake game studio of one of their major competitors (Warners Brothers) would be insane.
I can see WB games willing to sell the MK IP along with Netherealm Studios or at least the video game rights to MK in perpetuity.
What if it's a big mobile acquisition?
Sony at some point splashing some cash on that is actually very realistic if they are ever gonna take mobile gaming seriously

Didn't Hulst say quite recently that all their acquistions are very carefully planned out aka teams we've worked with before. So you'd reckon it's like Bluepoint/Lucid/Ember Labs.
Yeah, this is the most logical and reasonable take. It'll probably be a familiar name we're all expecting, maybe one that Sony already accidentally announced itself, for example.
I am weak right now 🤣

All acquisitions are carefully planned out, otherwise we wouldn't get any acquisitions. Sony will eventually make less predictable acquisitions once they absorb their closest partners first. I expect very aggressive consolidation this generation from all fronts, including Sony.
Yeah the design is solid but the game is lacking the narrative piece that I hope Sony incorporates into their new MP games. There needs to be something there.
If it was some big acquisition we'd have some buzz from multiple places so I am guessing instead it is something under the current Sony expectations, with it either being a studio we expect or a studio around the same size as the ones Sony has been acquiring.
