Supermassive would instantly be the only C tier studio on the list. What is the hard on that people on era have for this studio?
So you're ok with them who have made mediocre games since their inception except for one over a team that for the niche crowd continues making great games? I may be ok with its acquisition if Until Dawn was their last game, but that's not the case at all. They've just done 1 great game in their life cycle.Until Dawn was really good. I'd much rather have them as part of Sony than Bluepoint, a company that has done nothing but port jobs.
Then again, IDEALLY they'd be getting an RPG developer to try and regain some of the ground they lost to Nintendo and now MS.

As for BP doing nothing but remakes, they could do that for a very long time. Or if they're successful enough, they could create two teams with one focusing on new IPs. I'm much more interested in them remaking a game like Ico than whatever game SMG makes. At least give them another test trial before purchasing them.
I rather From Software made a entirely new game with the Castlevania name.

The only problem with them, it's their last games were not good specially comparing to Until Dawn.
I don't think Sony needs to OWN a studio that just remakes things. It's wasteful. Just contract them when you need them.

That's nice. Still don't have any excitement for them potentially being bought out! It's not like they're gonna turn out to be the RPG developer Sony's missing.
....Bluepoint? Since when?
Oh that's dope.
Sony usually purchase a studio after the studio sells a game well. insomniac after Spider-Man and Sucker Punch after Infamous

I think Guerilla is purchased before Killzone 1 is outSony usually purchase a studio after the studio sells a game well. insomniac after Spider-Man and Sucker Punch after Infamous
Man, if it's not Remedy I can't think of anyone that would be even remotely close to exciting.
This teasing needs to stop. Either announce it or stop tap-dancing around the subject.
The Genre X studio or Genre Y studio is still a weird thought process to me.
Ok, that's... a least a tadThe only thing that makes me feel like Remedy is a legitimate option is that their Communication's Director has been liking multiple random tweets on Twitter about Sony expanding its first party. That seems like a super weird thing to do if he's not involved.
Pretty sure they said they are interested in working on a new IP after the already planned remake for PS5 (Demon's Souls Remake). Not that they are working on a new IP and the DeS remake at the same time. But hey, let's see ^_^Don't have one, just them from couple years ago talking about expanding art department, when they confirmed they were working on another remake/re imagining project. They seem to be for the last year or so all in on that reimagining project. But had mentioned that the expansion they were doing at the time with their studio was for doing their own project down the line.
So i took an educated guess since pretty sure rumors point to this game being a launch title.

Alundra?!I need a place where I can talk about Alundra.

They can remake Legend of Dragoon, WildArms, etc.I mean, I agree with that. I would just rather see Sony acquire a studio that actually makes new games rather than a port house.
Either way, you know I just want an RPG studio, that's all that matters to me right now and it's definitely not gonna happen. :/
Maybe I'm crazy, but I feel like I read an interview by them awhile back stating they would also like to create new IPs instead of just remastering.Pretty sure they said they are interested in working on a new IP after the already planned remake for PS5 (Demon's Souls Remake).

Literally every studio mentioned in the last 10 pages over them. Not saying they shouldn't be considered, just not now. They simply don't deserve it. If they make two top tier games in a row, then it'd make sense. Sony's worst studios are better than 85% teams out there. Padding the stats just to get studios in there seems sad, focus on quality over quantity.Ok, that's... a least a tad
bit interesting
Oh, and if we really going to risk it all for a studio, solely for the success of a single game, i would throw my hat for Arrowhead (Helldivers), rather than Supermassive.
Didn't Bluepoint show interest in Legend of Dragoon?
That's like the most interest that a developer close to Sony has shown in an actual RPG in recent memory.
RPGs is not the only field I'd like Sony to put their hands on.. Have the current teams do what they're doing. but maybe get 2nd party devs to work on aWatch Bluepoint go on to revive Legend of Dragoon, then proceed to turn into Sony's RPG studio. They are already doing (likely) Demons' Souls, so that studio progression would not shock me.
Funny thing is, both Remedy and Bluepoint have showed that they are interested in possibly developing an RPG. That bumps up their potential worth to SIE, IMO.
Does Sony own the Alundra IP?
Yep. That's what I meant :) They said they would finish this project (Demon's Souls Remake, or whatever) first and then they would love to make a new IP.Maybe I'm crazy, but I feel like I read an interview by them awhile back stating they would also like to create new IPs instead of just remastering.
Yes.
It needs to be a Sony IP then :P And Persona/FF aren't Sony IPs.If Sony gonna do a JRPG, it has to be a big one,like Persona 5 or Final Fantasy VII Remake,if not,is waste of time.
Yes?Of course,better a new IP.Yep. That's what I meant :) They said they would finish this project (Demon's Souls Remake, or whatever) first and then they would love to make a new IP.
Yes.

That or a new Arc the Lad <3
I'd rather it be those two tooIf it is so clear it must be Bluepoint or RAD, a studio that has worked before with Sony.
Kinda rude honestly. I can see it happen.I can't really see Bluepoint doing a good job remaking an old-school JRPG without completely missing the point.
So is this about Bluepoint not getting classic jrpgs to you or about never removing turn based combat?You really think Bluepoint would take a classic turn-based RPG and KEEP it turn-based when "reimagining" it? You're more optimistic than I am, clearly.
