? MS just acquired 6 studios in past 12 months. sony should also bolster their first party a little to keep with competition and not get too comfortableSo if MS does these things, they are being criticized. If it's Sony, then it is a 'perfect fit' or whatever... Please apply the same standards to everybody!
Remedy is big enough and should focus on bringing their games to multiple platforms. I don't think second-party has worked well for them, they should be widening their audience.
or MS was not interested in them as they dont go well with the service model of game pass which is the main focus of xbox atm?
there it is.I can probably guess the sources they talked to, given the Remedy stuff has been making the rounds.
Zhuge have you heard anything ? any mumbling ?I can probably guess the sources they talked to, given the Remedy stuff has been making the rounds.
is the source reliable?I can probably guess the sources they talked to, given the Remedy stuff has been making the rounds.
as mentioned the issue with control is their budget. they made a AAA game with a tiny budget and 3 years time. not bad at all i sayI have never understood the hype that Remedy gets as a developer. A lot of their games appear to be very cool in theory but when it gets down to actually plying them they are just good games. I don't see how them being a first party studio is going to change that as they were a defacto first party studio with Microsoft. Maybe things will change with Control but to me it looks very similar to their past games.
No. More polished perhaps, but Quantum Break's key issues couldn't have been fixed with extra resource and budget. After all, Control looks like a better game and that's made with a smaller budget and less resource than QB. It's not like QB didn't have enough time in the oven either, Remedy worked on it for 6 years.And you don't think Quantum Break would be a hell of a lot better when it was published under Sony's wings? They probably would've brought in some guys from Japan Studios, Naughty Dog, Guerilla (Decima) and Santa Monica.
Acquiring Remedy would be a big slap in the face of Microsoft. Remedy is probably a bigger name then any of the studio's they acquired.
so sony looked into acquiring them but nothing was heard after that.correct?I'd have to look into it more. I haven't heard anything that leads me to believe a deal has happened at this point. Only that it was explored.
What a weird article.
They say "We've also heard from a number of sources that Sony is lining up a bid" but then their own analysis give a "Likelihood: Neutral. Remedy Entertainment has maintained its independence over the years, and so is unlikely to be particularly open to the idea of an acquisition."
Xbox can't get Yakuza when Sega is proudly claiming it to be a multiplatform franchise. Sony doesn't need to waste money on a Japanese studio when they know their games will mostly prioritize PlayStation.That's not the best acquisition. Go for a good Japanese studio instead.
Insomniac was asked which Marvel character they wanted and they chose Spider-Man. Insomniac could have made an Iron Man game. It has nothing to do with movie rights.
So if MS does these things, they are being criticized. If it's Sony, then it is a 'perfect fit' or whatever... Please apply the same standards to everybody!

Really curious did Remedy had money for Alan Wake IP redemption or someone gave them money ( Sony in that case )?
Everyone has the option to buy a PlayStation. This is a great fit for Remedy. Face it.
Remedy makes story- focused, linear 3rd person action games, exactly what sells best on playstation, so it would make sense to aquire Remedy. Give me AW 2 on ps5, pls.
Why do I have the feeling that Push Square has zero sources and they made this up for clicks?
lol it is Push Square so yeah I wouldn't be taking it too seriously.
This is a rumour from a fan site lol,"face it" you sound like a damn child.Everyone has the option to buy a PlayStation. This is a great fit for Remedy. Face it.
This is a rumour from a fan site lol,"face it" you sound like a damn child.
You're about to be crushed so I'll just wish you well.You are wrong. Spiderman is exclusive because Sony has de rights for Spiderman movies. It was a trade.
Are you ok?This is a rumour from a fan site lol,"face it" you sound like a damn child.
the difference is i dont remember push square ever claiming to have sources, so this was odd, but whatever, seems like it isnt wrong.
I always wondered why Microsoft never included them in their spending spree.

Nah the cheering around here about studios getting bought is mad annoying. People treat this shit like its a sport, full grown adults. It's really stupid.
The only thing i miss from their 1st party is a racing arcade game, a la horizon. On everything else, 3rd party does a great job.It would actually make more sense to diversify their portfolio with genres they're lacking games in.
I mean a Bluepoint 'remaster' wouldn't just be a resolution bump with some better textures. It's essentially a complete visual remake.Jesus....sony really have brainwashed y'all into buying remasters. How about just being able to play the original game upscaled for free.....
Easiest ignore in sometime. Bye.Nah the cheering around here about studios getting bought is mad annoying. People treat this shit like its a sport, full grown adults. It's really stupid.
You are wrong. Spiderman is exclusive because Sony has de rights for Spiderman movies. It was a trade.
Lol like I said, shits embarrassing.
tell us how u really feel :)Cool. Now they can stop making narratively, stylistically interesting games and make some more sad dad Oscar bait like the rest of Sony first-party.

This conspiracy theory bullshit again? Insomniac, Marvel and Sony have all said it has nothing to do with the movies, Marvel Studios or Sony Pictures but hey, they must by lying for no reason whatsoever, right?You are wrong. Spiderman is exclusive because Sony has de rights for Spiderman movies. It was a trade.
An acquisition or a publishing deal? The latter would make more sense to me at this stage, since Sony typically only buys studios they have established relationships with.I'd have to look into it more. I haven't heard anything that leads me to believe a deal has happened at this point. Only that it was explored.
TBH I don't think Quantum Break with Sony as a publisher would've been the Quantum Break we ended up getting. Unless it was one of the few games where the designers had a complete vision of what it'd turn out like from the very beginning, plenty of things could've had an impact on it and led them in a completely different direction. Sony may not've liked the live action cutscenes, for example.No. More polished perhaps, but Quantum Break's key issues couldn't have been fixed with extra resource and budget. After all, Control looks like a better game and that's made with a smaller budget and less resource than QB. It's not like QB didn't have enough time in the oven either, Remedy worked on it for 6 years.
Extremely disappointingTrue. Brad Sams is considered reliable. Double standard?
Not just a rumor from a fan site any more.
Cool. Now they can stop making narratively, stylistically interesting games and make some more sad dad Oscar bait like the rest of Sony first-party.
Yes. 1-2 games every year is not enough for me. I want more.But does Sony really need another cinematic, third-person shooter dev under its belt?
People complained about MS acquisitions? At least here most reaction were either ok or excited. I might have missed something. Do you have a link to a thread of any the acquisitions where the majority were complaining?So if MS does these things, they are being criticized. If it's Sony, then it is a 'perfect fit' or whatever... Please apply the same standards to everybody!
