Wow, J&D already in development? Cool (if it turns out good)!
Pixar R&C film
Just think.
Sly Cooper movie in Disney animated film style, do it Sony.
The Film Financial Services site has now removed all Sony films, including the Heavenly Sword one that we know is real and almost complete

Oh man.........shit could be getting real.
no, to all of it/
I love these franchises (especially R&C and Jak) but I don't need this. Nobody asked for it nor needs it.
please Sony, just focus on more games before you go bankrupt.
I seriously don't understand these kind of comments. Even overlooking that Sony aren't even making these movies, you've heard of Sony Pictures, right? Guess what? They make movies.
HAhahahaha. Oh Arceus, that was a good laugh.
So you want bad- almost average movies to be made of out beloved franchises?
The only way for this to actually work is by them being done by Pixar or someone close to them in terms of quality. and why would Pixar or anyone else agree to do this? They are already rolling in cash and have no need for something that might work, and could go horrible wrong.

This is so good.
You're not really insinuating that Sony Pictures is incapable of making a good movie, right?
Yeah because Sony Pictures have never made a single good movie and Pixar are the only animation studio that've produced good movies. This is a joke, right?
.... kinda
I don't have faith in their Movie/Animation department to make a Good Ratchet or Jak movie.
well who would you trust your top Video Game franchises with? Someone who isn't Pixar or at their level?

Im surprised Sony never used their movie arm to make shows/films based on their games.
They'd rather let others make games based on their IPs, like letting Atari make that multiplat Ghostbusters game a few years ago. To add insult to injury the PS3 version was also the worst of the three HD versions.
Sony just fucking sucks at utilizing their own IPs.
To be honest, I wouldn't want a Jak movie. The games are a lot more serious in nature (as the series progressed) than Ratchet, with Jak kind of being a dull lead.
Atari actually got that from when Sierra merged with Activision. SCE actually published it in Europe though, lol.
Sony Pictures Animation made Monster House,Open Season,Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and Arthur Christmas.
it's a very good studio and can handle Ratchet and other.
yeah, pretty sure its a team effort.Why would the animation studio matter? The script and director are far more important.
would those titles even be popular with the audience?
Sony still fucking sucks at utilizing their own IPs
Sony owns the Men in Black IP too IIRC, via their ownership of Columbia. And hey, whaddayaknow, Activision made a multiplat MiB III tie-in game. Fucking Sony.

Monster House was eh. I liked it but not something I'm going to see in theaters or pay for.
Open Season was fun, but eh. which is why its 2 sequels are straight to DVD
I liked Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs. Fun movie.
I don't know what Arthur Christmas is

Licensed games have not done as well as they used to this gen. Sentencing them to be exclusive to Sony hardware likely would mean Sony Pictures is SOLed on licensing money since I doubt any third party would be happy to accept that deal. Though, at the very least Sony Pictures based games should launch on all Sony hardware. The latest Spider-Man, and MIB games didn't launch on Vita, and Hotel Transylvania won't launch on any Sony hardware.
That because Sony Pictures operate separately and independently from SCE.
Sony Pictures have deals with Ubi and Activision on games, and honestly I don't want to see SCE studio wasting their time on MIB or other movie stuff that should be multiplat anyway.

Anything that started on the the ps2 like Ratchet and Jak, heck no.
maybe Uncharted. I can see that being a movie just to rake in cash. It can backfire though, which is something they probably don't want to risk.
Only think I can actually see myself paying to see in theaters is God Of War. That could be awesome.
What I'm getting at is that they shouldn't be whoring out their well-known IPs to third parties, but make the games in-house, maybe as smaller projects, and release them exclusively on their own platforms (Spiderman would be the odd one out since Sony only owns the movie rights IIRC, not the video game rights) rather than waste money on dross like Resistance (but that series is basically dead now anyway). Sony is just far too splintered for its own good, with the right hand not knowing what the left is doing, and the brain not knowing what neither hands nor feet are doing. Sometimes I genuinely wonder if the PS1 and PS2 were succesful despite Sony or because of Sony.
Sony doesn't have the market share to do licensed games only on their platforms and make it work. The market for them has simply collapsed to the point where you need a big userbase to support them. That's besides the fact that I suspect no SCE owned studio would want to make games that have to launch alongside a movie. It's a tact that just doesn't instill quality.
I will agree that the company often doesn't let the right hand to the left. For example, Crackle (an online portal for films and TV shows produced by Sony Pictures) had a fully dedicated app on iOS, Android, and even Xbox 360. The only way to use Crackle on PS3 is through Home ... It has been worse though, Sony Pictures used to actively develop and publish games themselves. It seems once SOE was transfered to SCE they stopped that.
If Sony were willing to actually spend money on making games on their well-known IPs like Ghostbusters, I see no reason why they couldn't end up with a quality game. It wouldn't even have to release alongside a movie since Ghostbusters 3 is stranded in development Hell anyway. Use their well-known IPs to sell their consoles. Want to play Ghostbusters? Get a PS3/Vita.
As for Crackle, I think you can actually access the service via the PS3 browser by opening the Crackle website. Never tried it myself though, because it most likely wouldn't work in Europe anyway, since Sony doesn't give a shit about adding services for Europe.
When it comes to the animation quality, sure, but the actual movie itself? No. Cars 2 didn't suck because Pixar sucks (or Lasseter for that matter, it was the script).yeah, pretty sure its a team effort.
I'm unconvinced that someone would buy a PS3/Vita for a Ghostbusters game. I just don't see it worth SCE, nor Sony Pictures' time.
And yeah, Crackle's only available in North America, Australia, and the UK.
You liked those Lost Boys DTV films?
Theres a Lost Boys 2 and 3?
If that is the case, why do you want more?
