I'll be so disappointed if Sony acquire Remedy. It will be the final bullet in the Quantum Break IP ;_;
I highly doubt that Sony has any intentions of acquiring Remedy, especially anytime soon. Its been mentioned over and over again that they are a publicly traded company. Then add on to the fact that Control absolutely BOMBED, I doubt Sony is jumping to the pull the trigger on acquiring them.
And even if they are acquired, that doesn't stop someone else from making a QB sequel (its not like all the devs at Remedy will stay there all their life). Then again, as much as many of us like the QB IP, I'd argue it doesn't have much legs as a series. Now Alan Wake on the other hand is a completely different story.
Looking at Remedy's stock prices and market value I will be very surprised if Sony does indeed acquire them.
Precisely. I'd imagine securing Kojima Productions, Bluepoint, and maybe Housemarque or Ready at Dawn would be their first priorities. I also don't know if Sony will willing to pony out so much money all at once to acquire studios (unless Apple goes through with purchasing Sony pictures, that'd give them extra cash).
Like said above, Control absolutely BOMBED. Like, it didn't even reach top 20 sold games on PS4 for the month it was released (but Man of Medan did, and released 3 days after Control, on August 30th). No one should be jumping the gun on purchasing Remedy outright unless they believe they can really do something to make their games sell like crazy, or have good enough reason to find a different benefit.
