Publisher fully funding both games. But Remedy own IP.
I was so sure that Sony and Remedy were working on an exclusive together. Turns out, they were really just being friendly with each other. I wonder if Sony is planning to make deals with big third-party developers to make console exclusives or they'll just rely on their first-party studios + Bluepoint's output.
Yes, the same Remedy that has produced four underperforming games at retail in a row... I'm sure Sony is kicking themselves that someone else is footing the bill for their next games that'll still be on PlayStation.
Serious, one of the most overrated studios in the industry.
Still need to try control, need to sub to psnow.
Yes, what Sony needs is another story-driven exclusive... Remedy games are really good (but Max Payne is still unmatched IMHO) but are not what Sony is lacking right now
Glad you missed all the accolades Control got, this was a no brainer move. By your logic Housemarque and the likes of it are done with Playstation.¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Housemarque games are not even comparable in budget. You're comparing apples to oranges
There are rumors they're making a big game for Sony(I hope it's true). I'm just pointing out that looking only to sales is a terrible attitude to have.
Was there even a rumor about a Remedy game or was it just people reading too much into things as usual?
Horizon II, God of War II, Spider-Man II, Ratchet and Clank, Demon's Souls, Guerilla MP game.
I'm not one of those people who only buys what's popular, but you have to be realistic. Sony not jumping into bed with Remedy is not surprising... And like the other topic mentioned, as soon as Remedy said they wanted to keep the IP, Sony was probably like... OK, bye.
Btw Sony has always acquired developers which frequently worked with them (Insomniac for example), Remedy outside of Control marketing bonded to PS always had relationship with Microsoft
Remedy's next games are coming to "next gen consoleS" in plural, meaning the PS5. What exactly did PlayStation owners miss out on by Sony not "grabbing a Remedy exclusive"?
What was the plan with the PS4? It had no Konami exclusives and the competition was the one that had a Remedy exclusive. Seems PlayStation can survive without these.
It started with speculation based on how close they seemed, then push square reported they heard that sony is in talks to acquire remedy, which later i think zhuge mentioned that sony did look at it but assumed that nothing came out of it, which made people speculate that Sony could have signed Remedy on a game instead.
But i guess that they just... gave up on acquiring them and then didnt even try to make a game together? Weird decision.
I blame 505 on the lack of marketing for control as the reason for it underperforming.
And regardless, a platform holder shouldnt just look at which developer to sign for profit (otherwise sony would just be making GaaS games to maximize their profit), but its also about building prestige
The last thing i want out of Sony is to just make games over how much money they can squeeze out of them.
Also not bothered that Sony is not publishing Remedy's game, they have enough cinematic experiences. I truly want PS5 to be the gen of proper old school revivals and brand new experiences in unexplored genre's. We'll get our God of Wars and Spider-mans but I hope PS5 carves it's own niche.
Fanboy bragging rights.
I'm looking forward to Remedy's next game. It's coming to PS5, so I'm good.
You make it sound like Remdies games are skipping Playstation now lol. use logic. You know how much it costs to fund someone else's projects?
Everything is better if it's in house.
About Silent Hill:
Konami denied last rumours but Dusk Golem and Relyonhorror still claim that these games will be on PS5. They wrote that they trust their sources.
Remedy is quality but SIE has plenty of similar output. An acquisition never made sence, an exclusive could have been nice, but it's not like we are starving for 3rd person narrative centric games.
Keep it moving folks...
Keep it moving folks...
Yeah we dont see any next gen games moves from Sony. No studio acquisitions and no interesting studio partnerships. Really hope its just them being silent
In my restless dreams, I see that town...
They haven't announced anything about their games for PS5, of course we still don't know about potential partnerships.
Not really. They are not a premier dev in sales or scores. Sony has multiple studios that produce similar games that get way better results. Remedy was a possible good get, but nothing special or priority.
Haha excellent. This would be a dream collaboration. Silent Hill Deserves to be in the limelight again.
We literally know they're building a new unannounced studio, lol.
I think my post came out a little wrong as I am excited to know PlayStation next-gen games strategy as rumors are fake. I just hope there is a good mix of new IPs as well because it is getting harder and harder to get an big independent developer to work on your game these days but PlayStation is the only one who hasn't disappointed in terms of new IPs compared to other publishers.
Nothing credible.
I am looking forward to all of those games except Guerilla MP game and will try to get all of them on day 1.
I am perfectly fine with this as Remedy is still presumably making a AAA game and those funds can go to up-and-coming developers.
I was hoping the rumor is not true like PlanetSmasher as it makes more sense for them to make a new horror IP instead of giving Konami a free ride.
There never was any point in Sony signing a deal with Remedy. The type of game they make simply doesn't interest many people as evidenced with Quantum Break and Control underperforming. Actually I'm surprised a "major publisher" would fund them, it reminds me of how Platinium Games used to run their business, the difference being that Platinium brings hype while Remedy brings indifference. The Wonderful 101 Kickstarter pulled $2million and that game was a complete flop back in the day, I'm convinced an Alan Wake remaster Kickstarter wouldn't be able to pull a quarter of that.
I know. Trully shocking that Tidux, Foxy and the likes are full of it.
So I was trying to organize my backlog so I went through my transaction history on the PSN website. I noticed there`s a ton of games purchases missing! Specifically everything I bought before September 2017. Has anyone had this problem before? Is there a solution to this?
Speaking of R&C, it was one of the games I bought my brother and his sons after they got a PS4 Black Friday.
The middle son started playing it. He's really enjoying it, and my brother is floored by how it looks. He wasn't expecting those graphics from that game.
we didnt know anything about ps4's until AFTER that really good teaser video that hinted at multiple games including street fighter v.
Someone (verified) in the forum said that Silent Hill is still happening (the Toyama SH, not the Kojima one).
Except most of these games are multiplatform and Sony already do these kinda partnership deals. it's how we got Spider-man.
Also Sony can't just throw money at a studio and instantly get them. That studio has to agree to it and imo there needs to be a mutual benefit.
It's why I really dislike the idea of MS flaunting their studio acquisitions on stage. I get why they do it, but it sets up unrealistic expectations among hardcore gamers. It's how you get rumors like Sony buying Remedy or Sony buying the MGS, Castlevania and SH IP's. and realistically you don't know how those studios will look a year or two from now.
Another reason I want a PS5 title. Just how much further can they go?!
Hopefully 60fps again, though.
They said the Kojima project could still happen as well. So they didn't back down on anything they said before.
Just that Remedy could deliver a good game, with expected results, without a lot of resources. Control was not expensive to make considering today's standards and was praised by the critics. Having strategic partnerships like this is good, gives more space and time for your 1st party devs. Sony did this successfully with Bloodborne for example, funded a game that otherwise would still be on Playstation.
Is it a huge blow? Of course not. Could something VERY interesting come out of it? Definitely.
