I knew Jim Ryan was a power play kind of guy. Ever since he orchestrated the downfall of Kodera, PlayStation has been making all the right moves.
People acting like Shawn's interview means Spider-Man 2 is coming to PC via Epic Game Store lol
Single-player games exclusive to Playstation, multiplayer games on PC IMO

Great news, Kenichiro Yoshida the actual CEO of Sony (who replaced the great Kaz) knows the importance of Gaming
I can see Sony purchasing Remedy before they purchase RAD, that studios proven nothing.
Yeah I could see Microsoft being okay with it, providing they get their fair share of the profits of course. Might as well now Sony owns the IP.
He is marketing guy, he knows everything about the markets in Europe, Africa and Middle East.
He is the right personto be the CEO of a company.
Plus going by the Ori Nintendo port, Xbox Live isn't required, unlike what's been speculated

When I read this kind of thing :
It makes me realize how bad were the relations between the different BioWare (or how chill the studios Sony-owned are)

edit: C-C-C-Combo Breaker!!!
I'm with you on that. A part of me is still hoping for a The Order sequel.
Thanks. I would kiss Shawn Layden on the mouth for that quote.Here :

100% where Sony needs to be planting their flag. It is by far the thing they do best and they are doing it in such a way that almost no one else is.
The way he said makes me think that Sony (corp.) is fully backing SIE on their next acquisitions.
I'm curious to see if they'll receive something like this to spend out there:
Sony buys EMI Music Publishing for $2.3bn
Deal will create world’s biggest music publisher with a catalogue of more than 4m songs

Probably it's nothing but month ago (September 2018) I posted this:
Where Insomniac Games appeared as studio...also CyberConnect 2 and genDesign.
Just a coincidence....maybe... lol

The marketing have been on point ever since Jim became the marketing boss at playstation this generation.
Add to that a sucessufull chokehold over European market for many many years and dude have cleary the makings of a great CEO.
Did I dream it or did Insomniac get the full rights to Sunset Overdrive back a few months ago? I feel like the publishing rights expired or they specifically bought them from MS or something like that.
I'd like to see Sony invest in a couple of smaller devs they could grow, and Housemarque/Arrowhead are good candidates in my opinion.
Yeah, the way I read it is that Sony won't be reluctant to invest to strengthen their position (like they did last year with the purchase of EMI for $2.3B not including their debts, and not counting the stakes left that Michael Jackson's estate owned)
Edit : lol we were thinking the same
Are you mistaking SO for Alan Wake?
You're confusing that with Remedy and the publishing rights for Alan Wake.
Edit: beaten
If they are focusing on cinematic third person game, Remedy would be the logical acquisition.
Ninja Theory would have been a great buy, Hellblade is fantastic.
Ah yes, right you are. Nothing to see here!
Also, I hope this means that discussions in this topic will be more positive now, considering things have been stagnant if not outright negative for months. I also hope that Insomniac will develop an FPS again as it's definitely a genre in which Sony lacks and they have solid experience.
Quite frankly I don't see Microsoft letting that happen. Acquisitions imo require prior history.
I don't know if that would be up to MS. There's been a clear difference in the money Sony is willing to use to fund an acquisition vs MS.
always thought insomniac would be the dev that got big enough to become a publisher themselves, good for them tho
I wondering if Sony organize some show before TGS. They announce it between 20-31 August in past years.
I'm not sure I follow. We'll never really know how much they are paying for the studios, but both are throwing out the big bucks.
I do think Sony spent more on Insomniac than MS did the likes of Ninja Theory or Double Fine. (Although we do know MS spent millions buying the Psychonauts IP back).
Insomniac feels like a Playground Games level acquisition. Sony's next might be Obsidian level if it's RaD or HouseMarque or even Remedy.
Remedy acquisition confirmed.
The visits from past months and the Twitter response from Sam Lake are clearly.
You're drunk if you don't think that a new Resistance is in the works.
It's happening dammit. It's got to.
Remedy doesn't seem to have ended their relation with MS very well, if the GI 100 quick fire questions are to be believed. Plus Sony has had people visit Remedy recently (like Shu Yoshida), and Sam Lake has said previously they appreciate Sony's efforts to keep narrative games alive.
Not to mention Control has PS4 time-exclusive content.
I don't like the consolidation that seems to be happening in the industry, but Remedy's a good fit for Sony.
At this point I'd be happy with a remaster collection to start with. I really like each game in its own way (especially 3) and it's been a long damn time since I played Fall of Man.
