PlayStation will continue to pursue growth investment opportunities that will enhance their own content IP
- Thread starter patapon
- Start date
I want someone to make a Stalker game again, come on Sony make it happen.
Nah...that would be a poor purchase imo.
i am not sure why "Is open to further acquisitions" is in quotes there, they didnt actually say it.
they did imply that they are looking at it, but didnt directly say it.
Anyway what is implied, is that if they will acquire a developer, it will be for IPs, so not an acquisition like insomniac's, which probably means no to kojima productions or bluepoint.
i guess remedy can fit that bill now that they have alan wake and control IPs.

I feel like they might need to if Microsoft continues snatching up studios left and right. Bluepoint Games seems ripe for the picking next.

It would be a story if they said the opposite

An ARG game, whose goal is to keep you from playing video games.
Falcom is never gonna be the kind of studio Sony would need or get use out of. They're not AAA and they never will be.
There's no reason for Sony to nab Falcom when Falcom is already a de facto Playstation-exclusive developer as it is. That, and Falcom isn't interested in being a AAA studio, which is what Sony is looking more for in an acquisition.
Asobo Studios - creators of A Plague Tale, Remedy, Bluepoint and Ready At Dawn.
All of them fit perfectly with the AAA Cinematic aesthetic and would be an excellent get.

This. Of course they didn't say it, but it's pretty much implied. Stop being pedantic people.
Level 5? I think Falcom is owned by Kadokawa as is From. I mean there are studios out there, just depends on if they want to be assimilated by the Borg.
Thats the only developer i would actually like Sony to add to they 1st party. Falcom games could also improve much more visually if they had a bigger budget.
But i guess they will just keep aquiring western Studios. Probably BluePoint will be next.
Honestly, there's not a lot of AAA independent studios left. I don't really see Sony going for anything but a studio with an established record of making AAA blockbusters. 4A Games could be a really interesting edition to Sony's library and could be a nice value pick-up for them. Established studio, track record of great visuals, and they could move onto a new franchise with a massive backing.
Sony doesn't only need AAA
especially with how long it takes to develop AAA titles now
Falcom with Budget could be a good AA studio to fill in release gaps
There's no prestige in them. Never made a 90+ game. You need studios that set the bar for gaming. Not studios who get 70 rated games.
I don't think Kojima is open to being acquired by Sony. He'll continue to make exclusive game for them, but he won't be under the umbrella (like Insomniac was before they got bought out).

Sony hasn't been particularly interested in filling gaps, though, at least if it isn't casual-focused or VR. Frankly, they don't need to when third party support is guaranteed.
I said it in the WWS thread but Sony doesn't need Remedy at least for now since they already have the third person cinematic action games in spades
if you want the same area of experitse I'd say Ready at Dawn would be a better choice since at least for them they have a history in other things like platformers and VR
like a Insomniac lite
through out history we've seen developers who used to exclusively develop for PS or were third part, either jump ship and/or be bought out
the future isn't that stable were Sony sits and expects the best circumstances to stay the same
they are a good choice, tech wizards, useful in reviving old IPs and won't be forever available as much as Sony wants them to be

that isn't something Sony will always have

I am fine with BluePoint
