I'm not sure if anybody has noticed but the logo of Bluepoint shows an O and I in the blue circle.
A bit is a one or a zero, or commonly written as 0/1.

These would be amazing adquisitions.
Is anyone aware of Zenimax having financial troubles or something similar?

There are plenty of people out there suitable for the job, like the authors of rpcs3, pcsx2 and epsxe. Offering all the people working on those emulators would cost far less than buying a Dev and probably yeild better results. Give those guess technical documents and it wouldn't be long until emulation was nigh on perfect. It's already pretty good just using guess work and reverse engineering.

So big Navi exists. We knew that already.

I m not a fan of their games so I m hoping it’s remedy and blue point rather than Bethesda

Do we know ps5 is small Navi or big Navi ?i mean GitHub showed it’s small but all the insiders are saying it’s big Navi ?

It'll probably end up neither. It will be custom Navi.

Sorry, I said badly, they are very capable but I believe that as they are from the community, they could expose or leak details that would compromise the security of the architecture and ecosystem.
A company like BP would be under Sony's wing and have no problems.

"called out", writing nonsense is not calling anyone out, you are just starting to look like an idiot.

I'm starting to look like an idiot? Or Foxy or PushSquare? You're post isn't clear here!....Foxy and PushSquare had a public Twitter spat a few days ago basically being called a fake insider. I just referred to it.
Ted Price sold Insomniac for about 350 million
Don't ask where this figure comes from. I won't tell you anyway
Just so you know about Sony's spending, which is buying up half of the music industry for billions of dollars. Literally billions
Remedy for 200 million is not as absurd an idea as some people here say it is
Especially if you take into account their compatibility with other Sony studios and the presence of several teams
Have you ever seen any hints from Daniel Ahmad and Jason about buying Insomniac ? Conclude
As soon as the transaction is completed(If it exists), Schreier will be one of the first to post the news(Just like last time)

havent there been hints to SEGA being baught?
Sony buying SEGA would fit a few of the hints from osirisblack
And the news about the fast ssd in the series X was also hinted at by one of our "Insiders" just days ago.....said ssd and rt ps5 has edge but 1 of those would be addressed by MS soon. Or something to that effect.

Cheers, that is clear! I guess Foxy could have stole their thunder but it still doesn't explain how the likes of Foxy and Tidux got this info as most here and ERA say they aren't credible insiders.
Not that I really care TBH....My policy is I take all leaks at face value. Time will reveal all.

Go Go Neo Rangers!
From what I have gathered, neither are truly "insiders." They seem like somebody who knows somebody kind of thing. So their info isn't always clean and is sometimes hearsay through someone else.

Big Navi, as I’ve stated a billion times before they will both be based off the 5800 because Ray-Tracing.

He was alluding to the rumoured PS5 unveil in Feb. The call was probably the acquisition news which has been spreading around.

nah the call is probably for the reveal.

Again. Remedy is a public company. Sony would have to spend $200M to purchase it. The valuation makes no sense considering the topline for the business.
Remedy is nowhere near Insomniac.
Spending $200M for Remedy is a terrible use of capital.

And they have no history with Sony which is even stupider given they have no idea how they operate.

Well it would beat anyone Sony could get on stage, having said that I do like Shu.
Clearly Cerny has to dish the technical dirt though. Such a pleasant sounding man, and he knows what he's talking about. Amazing how he's not actually employed by Sony lol

In fact if it was Remedy getting bought out there would be no one from Remedy liking anything that had to with a buy out rumour. The fact he liked it more likely means its not them.
I think it will be Bluepoint or RAD. Sony seems to buy up companies they have had a second party relationship with. Everyone knows Sony wasn't happy with Insomniac for doing Sunset on Xbox. Sony allowed Insomniac into their inner core, and had them work along with ND for tech, and then they do a game for MS. So, Sony bought them.

The meeting is already expected to be on in Feb. ‘Insanely cool’ would be fitting for something much more specific such as an acquisition.
And the point of acquisition was already on the cards by Sony in their previous financial call so it was always expected to be announced at the PS5 reveal.
Sony is looking to make even more studio acquisitions ahead of PS5
As part of its latest earnings call, where it also announced that the PlayStation 4 is now the second best-selling home console of all time, the hardware manufacturer said that it will "continue to pursue growth investment opportunities to enhance content IP". In other words, Sony is in talks...

Remedy is public so they'd have told us about a purchase possibility on recent earnings reports/calls, no?
Unless this JUST came up, in which case, I can't imagine it being close to getting done if it just started.

I'm no expert but it's only after you amass a certain amount of shares you have to declare you intentions.
Sony could quietly acquire all the available shares through a holding company and no one would be any the wiser.
Remember when Vivendi was buying up all the UBI shares, they didn't tell anyone their intentions for quite some time. About 3 years before they said they didn't want to buy and we only know about that because Yves was very open about not wanting it to happen.
Again, I'm no expert in public companies so this might all be a load of bollox.

Maybe this year they want to make it like a show ? Since they are not there at e3? Maybe
Haha what? Is there some kind of conspiracy going on here I’m not aware of? Look, I have nothing personal against the guy. I actually wanted him to be for real since I am a PS guy myself. But we’re all here everyday waiting for a nugget of new info and frankly I’m getting tired of people claiming inside info and giving us basically hot air. Even if you are an insider if you can’t give us anything substantial just sit down, the enigmatic teasing is frustrating.
So, something is happening in February. Either Sony, or MS. You would think Sony has more to show, and PS4 was announced in Feb, but it wouldnt surprise me with Geoff in picture and Tom Warren chatting with him that he is actually presenter for MS conference.
In any case, it seems to me MS is trying to get ahead of Sony whenever they can ever since December (TGA > Cerny in first row, Scarlett APU hours before Sonys CES conference) and if they do it in Februar as well...
