They are under the ZeniMax umbrella...same as Bethesda.

I mean it wouldn't be the first time one company has bought a subsidiary from another, but yeah I grant you it makes it more unlikely.

...and more expensive.

They'd be a good get. No doubt.

Err I just googled for an image of people sleeping at work. Not sure if you were being serious, but just in case.

Yeah, I feel sorry but not crying, don't worry.

 

[AgentP]

they have a nice collection of studios , but they are lacking variety

You mean quality or quantity? Yes, I agree.

 

[Dabaus]

I do think Sony should go after a large Japanese publisher. Capcom or square only because it would be a defensive measure against Tencent and other mega corporations ever encroaching presence in the gaming industry. Sqaure enix makes the most sense because they have a long, successful history together and sqaure has branches in more than just japan. Namely crystal dynamics.

Another company I think they should go for would be Koi tecmo because they’d probably be relatively inexpensive and have a few strong Ip like dynasty warriors, ninja gaiden, nioh, and dead or alive, among others.

Funny that this video went up 2 days ago...

They should aquire EA, Ubisoft, Activision, Nintendo, Capcom, Sega, Microsoft, FromSoft, Apple, Hudson Soft, Konami, Atari, McDonald's, Platinum and SquareEnix.

They need some decent VR devs. If they've got a new headset coming out, might as well have some more games, psvr had some great titles, but please don't make res games vr mode exclusive again

 

[onQ123]

It's strange that they didn't buy Quantic Dream

 

[Danjin44]

They should aquire EA, Ubisoft, Activision,

 

[Shubh_C63]

Scary to think what more can they provide.
At this point any AAA project coming out of first party studios have been a must play title of the Gen.

Sony: we continue with investments and acquisitions.
Also Sony: we dismantled Driveclub developer.

I'm a Motorstorm, Wipeout and Driveclub fan, but I understand Sony runs a business and needs to release complete, working games that are profitable and if possible not delayed too much.

They should aquire EA, Ubisoft, Activision, Nintendo, Capcom, Sega, Microsoft, FromSoft, Apple, Hudson Soft, Konami, Atari, McDonald's, Platinum and SquareEnix.

It won't happen but if I had money and they wanted to sell I'd buy Capcom, Platinum, KojiPro, Quantic Dream and FromSoft for their games and dev teams, and Sega and Konami for their classic IPs.

I dont believe Sony is buying anybody they haven't worked with or collaborated with before

 

[Yoboman]

Sony rarely acquires game devs

They seem to be more interested in acquiring innovative tech, patents etc.

More likely they are going after innovators in cloud, raytracing, VR etc. Even their investment in Epic was more about the innovation in UE5 than their success with Fortnite

In 25 years Sony has worked with them all. Including Nintendo

Still do not get what they got with a 4% investment or less in Epic got Sony. Maybe a tiny bit closer collaboration, early look at techs, and massively reduced fees for developers (maybe UE5 comes at a great discount or free for PS5 developers? That would be nice).

That plus they probably see their return on investment growing. Epic is only going to get bigger and more valuable
