Personally, I hope it’s Housemarque.
That's definitly my bet.

Maybe Sony will retaliate by buying Studio MHDR. You think Sony will just sit back and watch MS scoop up all these studios and do nothing?
I think people forget just how much money MS has.
To be fair, Forza could well be seen as Microsoft's Gran Tourismo. Microsoft has done many things with Xbox though and hav enot consistently been trying to one-up what Sony does.Just like how Sony tried to make their own Forza, their own Halo, Gears? Failed with each attempt too.
It’s either Housemarque or Ready at Dawn.
They’re building up their current studios and strengthening the talent there. They aren’t doing nothing.
As far as this rumor, doesn’t surprise me. Microsoft has been a “Sony too” company since the original Xbox. They’ve always made their own version of whatever’s popular on PlayStation.
Bluepoint isn't "TOO" successful. They've basically done more ports than anything and, they are a mid-sized studio who has historically done work with Playstation "a bit". I wouldnt count them out...AT ALL.
Also, MGS is expanding in Asia with an HQ. The sole purpose is to close deals with developers and such. Wouldnt be surprised to hear of a Japanese dev house joining the ranks w/MGS.
Don't think it's ready at dawn - theyve worked more than "a bit" with Sony. 6/8 of their games are on sony machines and only 1 wasn't exclusive.

Atlus wold be a MEGATON, but what are the chances of a Japanese studio selling out to Microsoft?
RIP to whoever being purchased
MS is known to ruin their purchases
RIP rare, RIP lion head , RIP Nokia
The traditional approach is just to poach talent, because although IP can be owned, the people behind them are free-agents and can always be tempted by a better deal. That's the thing about buying studios, its more than a bill of goods.
Hopefully it's Ready at Dawn and not Quantic Dream.
I can’t say too much on the subject but my sources tell me it’s actualy Sony. MS are buying Sony and will be releasing the Microsoft Sony PlayStation 5, to compete with their own product, the Microsoft xbox 17.
People will never be happy with MS because most of the people whining at MS want MS to exit the console business. MS taking gaming more seriously is bad news for most anti-MS people .People have been saying MS needed to beef up their first party for like a decade. Now they're doing it by buying smaller independent studios.
We'll have to see how the fruit looks in 3+ years or whatever first.
I feel like PGR was their first GT, and then Turn10/Playgrounds sorta cemented themselves as the true GT competitor being Forza. Oh I know they're not consistently trying to do that.
Well it's not like Microsoft was going to push the exact same game at the time?You though an Urban arcade racer was microsoft's first GT??
Why would the developers exit? They don’t like money. Why would they care? They get paid to make games do you think they are extreme Sony fanboys. I mean they already make PC games.
100% won't be Quantic Dream
Microsoft won't touch that toxic workplace with a 10 foot pole
It’s ready at dawn. I doubt MS would actually want QD and insomniac wont become a first party studio after the success of spider man.If not Quantic Drams and also not Insomniac, what else is left?

Uninteresting studios.
Housemarque?
Supergiant?
Supermassive?
Ready at Dawn?
thatgamecompany?
Bluepoint?
Still a few options.
You think? Yet..most of their products mostly fail. .
Hey now, Housemarque is working on an original title where you are dropped on an island and have to be the last man standing as the play field shrinks.
ready at dawn went belly up with their dumb ball game. 1886 was a total failure sony's first this gen, it would not be a good purchase imo.
Must be why they can afford only the shitties tiny studios instead of the big boys out thereI think people forget just how much money MS has.
Stay on top of those sodium levels breh! Salt will KILL YA!! lolololMust be why they can afford only the shitties tiny studios instead of the big boys out there
