I feel an aquisition coming, I've been saying for the past month that an studio will be aquired by Sony by the end of August.
Will be one of Housemarque, RAD and / or Bluepoint.

I've always thought Gran Turismo is gonna be one of those games that really showcase the DualSense at its full potential and I can't wait.
Can't see RAD happening at all, but can definitely see Housemarque and Bluepoint.
Haptic feedback is an extremely underrated feature when people actually use it right. Glad to see Sony devs also take advantage of this. Hopefully Sony has better guidelines for what devs should do if they don't want to bother (people complain about poor rumble on the Switch because third party devs either make it too weak or absurdly strong).
Yeah, they are. I wonder if all those success from Sony's and Nintendo's exclusives will make Phil have a change of heart.
I think its gonna be Bluepoint when I look at their portofolio outside of two titles they have been a playstation port house.
which one is the biggest, capable of handling multiple project? I think one of the biggest reason Sony bought Insomniac is not just because they've worked together a long time, but because Insomniac are capable to work on multiple project and have games released every 2-3 years. if Bluepoint and Housemarque are only capable of working on 1 project at a time, then I think Sony will prefer to keep the current deal going and not make acquisition
No, Xbox already has their own direction. Quit looking at this as a vs thing.
Change of heart about what? Supporting people on PC? Supporting people who will still have an Xbox One for another year or so?
"Exclusives games more important than ever."
Releases Horizon and Bloodborne on PC.

That bit about accelerator R2 feeling soft compared to a hard L2 got me. I might have to get GT after skipping it for 1.5 generations.
Please stop with the acquisitions.
I think Sony has enough studios. Look at EA, Activision, Ubi. How many studios do they have? I'd say Sony is in a great position already.
I remember watching older E3s and would get deflated when the SCEA screen would pop up in front of a trailer. I would think "oh man this isn't one of the big names." Now they are the most exciting and almost guarantee high quality. They've really become the Marvel Studios of gaming. GT7 looks to carry that on.
I really hope the DualSense deliver on it's promises.
Pretty sure Phil is happy seeing SoT a the top of the Steam sales chart for the past week. Expending your audience is never a bad thing.

What I really want to see is the crazy concept cars that will come out in it. As now they will be able to introduce cars with even crazier acceleration to those they had made before.
Didn't really think of it but yeah, GT7 will really show off that new controller and 3D audio stuff.
Those games are years old and if anything, they generate more revenue and potentially more PS5 buyers. It's a win-win situation. They won't release any new exclusives on PC, that's for sure.
Answering to all three of you. Here's my take:
Housemarque:
This is the studio I see happening last, or the least likely so to speak. The reason why - its a small team, and it doesn't make a lot of money. I feel like Returnal might be their final "proving ground", if it makes money - they might be bought. Feels like they also scratch that "Remedy itch" that was rumoured, with their arcady gameplay and big focus on gameplay.
Bluepoint:
This is the studio I kind of see as being the most likely. Reason being that they put out great games, gamers (everything really) has a huge nostalgia itch, remakes are popular and I feel like Bluepoint can A. Expand and B. Perhaps try out doing something on their own with a big budget.
Here's where its interesting and where Callibrettos post comes in
Ready at Dawn:
They do VR, they do multiple games at one time, they're tight as hell with Santa Monica Studios. They've done God of War, they've done a big budget, linear, over the shoulder game. They fill the Insomniac itch better than both Blupoint and Housemarque ever can imo.
I still think Bluepoint is the most likely though lol
The vibrators have to be big though. The switch also uses linear motors and they are too weak for the size of the pro controller or the handheld Switch.
They shouldn't just be buying studios just to make more of the games and genres they already have covered, for sure. That's wasteful as hell.
But a dedicated (or at least oriented) RPG studio would fill a HUGE gap in their catalog that none of their current projects even come close to scratching.
I've never been a fan of the game. Arcade type racers are more my thing.
But I might get GT7 just to see how the DualSense works. And it would probably be my first GT game, lol.
