You really should have contacted the mods first with some sort of credibility your friend has before posting.
Mods, ban him if his friend don't check out, please.
' "who claims he has contacts" in the video games industry'
he works at Gamestop, right?
Back in the next/now current gen speculation threads, there used to be a vetting process. Was that just a temporary thing?
My uncle works at Nintendo and they are buying Microsoft
"Silent Hills" is a game that was never released and the amount of attention that it has gathered over the years is insane, do you honestly believe that all this attention is worth nothing to Konami? Of course not. Konami needs us more than we need a new "Silent Hill" game, and I genuinely believe that under the right circumstances they will come back on their knees begging for us to take their games back into our Steam library, I just don't know what those circumstances are.I keep seeing many comments across different forums, subreddits regarding "Silent Hill" and how it's a dead franchise at this point, I wonder why are you folks being so pessimistic about it? Before I will continue with my comment don't forget one thing, the companies will naturally gravitate towards a possible revenue stream, if there is money to be made, Konami will be there, which is why Konami created Castlevania themed NFT's out of all things.
Sony acquiring Square Enix would be fucking huge, and would trump the Microsoft/Activision deal by a landslide. I can’t see it happening, though, nor a Take Two takeover.
What horseshit! Sony and many other companies could easily buy Take Two for 20 billion dollars.Yes but also Sony aren't in a position to buy Take Two for the almost 20 billion dollars that they're worth. Only MS has the money to blow on that.

Yeah, you’re right. Sony acquiring the rights to Deus Ex, Final Fantasy, Just Cause, Kingdom Hearts, Life is Strange, and Tomb Raider is nothing. How silly of me.In what universe does buying Square Enix "trump" the aquisition of ActiBliz. I would argue it doesn't even "trump" the aquisition of Bethesda Zenimax
Sony acquiring the company that owns Final Fantasy (which includes the biggest MMO on the planet right now), Dragon Quest, Kingdom Hearts, Tomb Raider, Deus Ex, dormant IPs like Legacy of Kain plus whatever rights Square-Enix has for Marvel IPs right now...meaning they would own every single videogame that's getting done from Marvel properties, plus certain manga franchises which is a market Sony is interested in.In what universe does buying Square Enix "trump" the aquisition of ActiBliz .

Sony would own like 10 more studios if that were to happen, including one that's going to be making a game with Microsoft...i'm sure they are paying some good money to use that studio.
I mean...it wouldn't fill the hole left by an IP such as Call of Duty, but as someone that likes most of these IPs sounds like a much more interesting acquisition for me
Never said it's "nothing". I'm just saying ActiBliz is so much bigger in every way compared to Squenix that it really is no comparison. I think Bethesda is closer in terms of IP value and studio value. I personally think Squenix would be a very good get for Sony, but your statement was basically that a square enix aquisition would be a way bigger deal than MS buying ActiBliz which is just not even remotely close to beeing trueYeah, you’re right. Sony acquiring the rights to Deus Ex, Final Fantasy, Just Cause, Kingdom Hearts, Life is Strange, and Tomb Raider is nothing. How silly of me.
If Sony ever acquires anyone i could almost bet that they would start with Square-Enix or Capcom...almost for sure. After buying Evo, they would then own Street Fighter. They would also own Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, Monster Hunter, Dead Rising, etc...I can agree with this. I personally don't play any activision IP's, but can see that it's objectively the biggest buyout I've ever seen in this industry and something like Square Enix doesn't even come remotely close to the juggernaut franchises ActiBliz carry.
For me personally Square Enix has 0 value as I literally play nothing of their library. Bethesda was a way bigger deal to me as I play about all of their franchises bar Dishonored, but I can see them beeing on equal footing in studio quality and IP's carried to each other. I do think Square would fit with Sony very well by the way.
SE has huge IPs.Twenty years ago Sony buying Square would be a megaton
Square Enix now its like eh? whatever
This whole Pub situation makes me realize the only one I really care about are SEGA/Atlus
As an Xbox owner I'd be sad about a Capcom Aquisition as I like a lot of their IP's, but they for sure would be a great get for Sony. I have no clue wether the gaming division has the kind of funds to aquire two mid-sized publishers tho and I would imagine Squenix is the easier get out of the two although I semi pull that assumption out of my behindIf Sony ever acquires anyone i could almost bet that they would start with Square-Enix or Capcom...almost for sure.

These 2 sound perfect fits for them.

Final Fantasy
Dragon Quest
Tomb Raider
Deus Ex
It would be megaton, but Sony hasn't 20 or more bil. of $.

people keep saying this, but its not realistic. Sony has 18 billion on hand to spend over 3 years. That is for ALL of Sony, not just the gaming division. So realistically Sony would need to make smaller purchases as this can't cripple the entire company.Sony has more than enough cash on hand for SE/Capcom, especially with the limited amount of debt they owe.
Surly a mod would need to verify such contacts? Otherwise any of us could start a thread with wild rumors we've just made up.
I could try getting him in contact with a mod. But he doesnt have a Neogaf account. I will see what i can do.
If this is legit then I would certainly advise mod verification.
Not to offend, but you can see why people would be reluctant to believe these rumours.

It's understandable, i dont believe him much either lol
Lol. You don't even believe him, yet you still created a thread!
Legendary.
Let's just hope it's all real. If not, I would consider making him your enemy.
Since he is a gaming journalist, he is kinda reliable. Otherwise i wouldnt have bothered it.
