@tameshiyaku I loved Medic in Killzone 2, I miss Sony first party shooters:
Socom
Resistance
Killzone
All need to make a comeback this generation!

9 I did well today, I deserve a drink

YESSSSSSS THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED TO KNOW TO BE HYPED FOR PSVR2!?!!?!!!

I am looking forward to the show now!

I'll play classics in whatever quality I can get it, I'm not as concerned as most

I'm excited, this is a franchise I would love to see on the movie scene

Ported*

I am hoping something new is announced for PS5. Now that I got my hands on one! (Finally) 😈

@PlayStationGamer3919 don't get my hopes up. 🤧

@RevGaming it would be good to lockdown license to some of the brands WB Has access too. If Sony makes all Marvel and DC games, that would be incredible.

Final Fantasy 14 looks really good right now for Sony.

Not surprised Sony likes to test the waters on what they can get away with. They couldn't this time. But they'll keep trying haha

Unfortunately some of those studios don't exist any more. Or don't own the IP anymore.

I watched it, still not a fan of Tom Holland, but it wasn't bad. I still think Mark Wahlberg was an odd choice for Sully. But otherwise it's not bad, 7/10.

Id watch a sequel if it had it.

@Bagwag82 the industry today is a lot different than back then. The biggest being, Disney didn't have access to Marvel and Star wars. Plus, if they got their hands on a major publisher with dozens of studios and IP they can pull Spiderman and Marvel from Sony and make their own console, hypothetically.

We face a similar problem with Apple, and Amazon. They don't know the market, them joining could set the industry back. Look at Google Stradia, bought studios but didn't understand the market demographic. Now those studios are essentially bust.

Sony profited from this, since they salvaged Haven which was formed by one of those studios going down.

@Shepherd_Tallon I'd hate for Disney to enter the gaming market. I prefer them leasing their IP out to Sony (Marvel), Nintendo (main cast characters).
If Disney entered, they'd have their own game pass. How many subscriptions do you want?

@lolwhatno EA has had a rough time the past two generations. The only real money maker FIFA was costing them almost as much as their revenue to license. So they likely cut it for that reason. Lose out on some money from the branding, but keep more revenue.

But EA isn't alone in this. Ubisoft has had a few flops, and is looking at being purchased by an investment firm. Square Enix is well documented, other than Final Fantasy their games don't sell.

Is it any surprised these three are most likely to sell?

EA will look to cut back on bad products this year to look more appealing I'd assume

I mean what do you expect? Even if the developer didn't apologize, if Sony paid for exclusivity it would be ruined if they simply offered it cheaper on PC.

I own a switch but tbh I've been less than impressed with the console and games as a whole. Call me a fanboy, but the Vita was so ahead of its time. It's a shame it never worked out.

End of the day, it's Sony's money. And if they want to spend it on live action multiplayer titles, that's their desire. But Sony should also understand that their audience is traditionally not into that type of gaming. Personally as long as Sony continues to make as many single player games as they do now but with a few added on live actions, I'll be fine. They are a different demographic from myself.

Side note, if we are betting on the next acquisition, my money is on a studio: Deviation Games. Similar to Haven, started 2020ish, provided funding to make an exclusive live action game, have expanded multiple times over the past few years. Experts in shooting games, something Sony lacks since Guerilla stopped making Killzone.

Still sad about drive club, sure it had some issues at launch but it became a lot better over time.

They'll stop releasing to last Gen when the chip shortage ends. If they have over 200 million PS4 users and only 20 million PS5 users. It makes no sense to stop until they can close the gap for this generation.

It's a good start for the industry

If this is true. Id rather Sega or Capcom

I think the fact that Discovery is looking to sell off its Gaming division at Warner Bros, should be more important on Sony's Radar right now.
Sony is going all in with the Fighting community by acquiring EVO, but don't have their own internal fighting game/studio. NetherRealm would be an amazing get.
Rocksteady would do well along side Insomniac making licensed Superhero games.

@Milktastrophe I'd be so happy if they did.
I hate all of their new titles, their PS2 era games:
Dark Cloud, Rogue Galaxy etc was God tier imho.

They'll have to rename SE Montreal studio haha

Were you expecting to see Starfield on this list? I'm confused why you are disappointed 😂😂

These deals don't happen over night. I'm sure Sony was offered it, by Square Enix. Sony thinks too highly of the Uncharted IP. I think having Tomb Raider would have been just as good as the Uncharted IP. In my eyes, Sony dropped the ball with this one. Crystal Dynamics is a very consistent developer.

Are SE selling the studios or the IP these studios worked on as well? Because 300 m seems way too cheap to give up tomb Raider in this deal

Last time I got 11. I fell back down to a 5 today. I have dishonored my ancestors.

I don't care what anyone says, and I'd fight them to the death. FFX-2 is one of the best Final fantasy titles. People let their nostalgia of FFX ruin their chance to experience it for the fantastic game it is. Sure it has some fan service, but I still love it all the same.

@4kgk2 insomniac wasn't Microsoft's demographic for studios. They only had one IP to their name. Since Sony owned all of Insomniac's best IP. It made sense to go with Sony.

Really sticking it to take two 😂😂

1&2 are still my favorite but I'll wait till after the review to see if this is worth touching

If they put it in writing and it can't be backtracked to other types of games, then I'd be fine with this.

But I highly doubt it, this smells like a slippery slope to me...

Tbh I don't mind them as long as they are only supplementary to the single player experiences.

If Sony bought Capcom would it when need Silent Hill anymore?

Resident evil is a bigger IP

Id love it on PlayStation. We will have to see how it goes.

The first two were fantastic and I'm happy to hear this!

What's the point of putting
Xbox and inxile/Obsidian/Rare/initiative
PlayStation/PSVR2/ Haven.
They are in the same family of gaming.

@Rmg0731 Microsoft's biggest problem isn't buying studios...it's managing them.

I believe they have had 2-3 allegations in the past year from their studios. I doubt that'll get any better once Activision/Blizzard becomes first party.
They should stop acquiring and work on fixing what they have.

@KidBoruto I doubt Kojima wants to be tied to a publisher again after all the hassle he dealt with at Konami...

Buying Take-two and keeping it multi plat would make sense for Sony's live action games goal.

GTA online makes like a billion a year in revenue.

@Ken_Kaniff goes full circle.
Nintendo screws Sony, causing them to make PlayStation.
Sony buying Nintendo.

It's hilarious but extremely unlikely.

SEGA Is more worthwhile than Konami

@Americansamurai1 I would love the Order 1886 sequel. So much potential in that IP. even without Ready at Dawn, I feel it could really work under a new developer

Maybe Microsoft is buying Sega ? 😭😂😭

I'm happy to see this and hope it's applied worldwide.

I am sure there are a few scalpers out there who will remove the product and scam people with rip offs on top of overpricing the product.

If this will deter scalpers I'm all for it.

They should remake and expand Killzone Mercenary, it was such an amazing experience.

I'll be sticking to essential for the foreseeable future.
