Could Bluepoint have been working on a second project all along or are they not big enough?
I'm bored, time for more assumptions and lists.
Here's what a Capcom acquisition would look like.
Popular IPs
Ace Attorney
Breath of Fire
Darkstalkers
Dead Rising
Devil May Cry
Dino Crisis
Dragon's Dogma
Final Fight
Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective
Ghosts 'n Goblins
Lost Planet
Mega Man
Monster Hunter
Ōkami
Onimusha
Resident Evil
Street Fighter
Viewtiful Joe
Developers
Hmm Capcom?
There's a lot of division under them.
A bit weaker than SE but with a wider range of genre and IPs, definitely a huge for the fighters and action titles.
Bonus! Konami *sigh*
Popular IPs
Bomberman
Castlevania
Contra
Dance Dance Revolution
Frogger
Metal Gear
Pro Evolution Soccer
Silent Hill
Suikoden
Yu-Gi-Oh!
Zone of the Enders
Notable Developers
Konami Digital Entertainment (like Capcom, lots of divisions)
PES Productions
Additional properties
Bemani
Hudson Soft
Gambling Machines and Casinos
Weakest of all 3 for sure. Not sure if its worth buying the whole damn business just for 3 IPs and Gambling Machines. Best case scenario, they sell Digital Entertainment with the IPs included but with licenses for continued usage in their gambling machines. The problem is with mobile, they still make a lot profit with those games.
Think this is a case of confusing the mgs1/2 ports as remakes.
I would trade a Metal Gear Solid remake for a Mega Man Legends Trilogy remake any day of the week. Come at me.
Thanks so much for providing even more information and context. I was also thinking about the potential for leaks from buyers that backed out of the deal, but my post was already very long, so I didn't want to blow it up even more lol
There are definitely a lot of factors that can result in leaks, and most companies try to mitigate that as much as possible. It's certainly possible that Sony has been in talks with publishers with the intent to buy, or lock down more than just "timed exclusivity" for some of their titles.
I really doubt that Kojima would work on MGS ever again.
That rumor started with Tidux.
That should be enough to show how credible that rumor is.
Keep hearing that guys name pop up a few places, Assuming its not a credible source?
He is a fanboy that likes to pretend that he is an insider.
He got to a point claiming that DS and HZD would never come to PC, just for a few days later to be announced the PC ports.
Sometimes I'm glad, that we don't have any rumors of a COLONY WARS revival, but most of the time I'm sad.
Rumour: Metal Gear Solid Is Getting a Full Remake, and It's a PS5 Console Exclusive

Obviously just a rumour at this point.

The answer to 1 is that I agree with you, but then I think of my situation a few years back and I would appreciate the option if 200 moneys could make the difference. I'm sure I'm not alone. As for 2, that is certainly possible and I'm not assuming people who play games are a monolithic entity.
This was, however, the tipping point for me, as Zenimax are an intensely (not exclusively) single-player publisher, and I'm not sure some of the stuff that got greenlit there would get a pass in other places. I'm looking at Arkane and Machinegames. Also Tango for still sticking to their weird horror guns, which isn't something guaranteed to sell. That's the kind of thing that I value a lot.
I know this isn't where I'll find the most passionate fortnite/mp community, which is precisely why I asked in the first place. People don't come to this thread to discuss sports games or mp in general, they come because they've come to expect a certain kind of game from Sony. High budget, cinematic, immersive, etc. ans they want to discuss those. I see Zenimax much in the same light (on a very different scale of course).
I wanted to know how this affected other like-minded people and their more immediate reaction to this news. Other answers I've gotten have recontextualized the situation and given me different perspectives, which is what I wanted.
I doubt it but I would be interested. Youtube source is just a bunch of nothing.Rumour: Metal Gear Solid Is Getting a Full Remake, and It's a PS5 Console Exclusive

I would like such a revival for sure. If not in the franchise itself, then at least in spirit.
As a side note, that Chorus game looks pretty interesting. Hope it will deliver.
Saying this for weeks since I heard this from a friend. Guess this is true.Rumour: Metal Gear Solid Is Getting a Full Remake, and It's a PS5 Console Exclusive

Hopefully it's true!
A remake though? As in Demon's Souls kind of remake? I highly doubt that.
But would be insane if it's true.
If reporters are gonna say that some random person has leaked information correctly before, just say what they have been right about to give us background why this could be a reliable source. It's like saying that Roberto has leaked information before and then not saying anything about all the wrong things he's said lol.
Making Dragon Quest exclusive would by itself guarantee at least a few million PS5s sold in japan, a market they'll likely struggle due to not being portable. Still I doubt Square would be up for grabs.
There is still plenty of Series S stock everywhere in germany, so the people on ERA saying "Only gaming enthusiasts care about 4K or a disc Drive" have been extremely wrong, since the X was sold out immediately.
So in the END perhaps Jim Ryan was right with his statement last Week. Will be interesting to see where it all lands.

I find very difficult to see a MGS remake because it would be so much different. Could be done, with MGSV playability for example not to feel outdated from the gameplay perspective, but would have to have many levels redesigned the it would be really risky to retain the identity.
Do you mind getting verified by mod for this information?
I think is fair to say that Sony probably has been in conversations with companies for some time now, same as Microsoft, same as Facebook with their focus in the VR area, same as big publishers wanting to grow even more, Google, Amazon,...everyone knew that in any moment this process of consolidation could gain traction and you gotta be ready to push forward the deals that fit better your strategy.
In the last months we have seen Sony trying to buy Leyou, Microsoft, EA, Activision and Take Two interested in Warner, Facebook buying Sanzaru, Beat Games and RAD, now Microsoft buying Zenimax, all of this has lot of work behind and there is always way more conversations that the ones we discover.
For someone like me, that also love the business side of video games, exciting years ahead even tho I'm a bit afraid about how all of this could end.

Loved Folklore so much! Allways wanted a sequel or a remaster to the game!! And yeah it seems to be forgotten and will never come back :(
It's a really shame the studio was closed down :(
And i agree that if the game was released further + better marketing it could have been a success.
While i usually fail at most predictions i have, i think both xss and ps5de will be the less sold skus by a wide margin. Series S even worse. A key point is lack of disc drive, that puts of many ', not hardcore' players imo.
Just checked two major Spanish retailers and both still have series s in stock,
They all ordered the superior 1TB One S instead, they'll be surprised to receive it almost 2 months earlier than anybody else, lol.
Yo I do believe the Silent Hill rumors, I truly do. But I just can't buy these MGS rumors... I just can't.
But imagine it.
But imagine it.
I would be impressed with a MGS1 remake tbh.
The game did not aged well, plus it was made to be played from top down.
So good luck to who makes that remake.

I'd rather developers focus on new experiences instead of elaborate remakes, especially if said game has already been remade earlier. Demon's Souls is a border case (it looks so damn good so I'll accept a remake for a game I've played to death), but MGS... nah, probably wouldn't want it unless it looks absolutely mindblowing.
Honestly to do a remake of MGS at this point, you'd need to make an entirely new game. And at that point, why even bother doing MGS1 at all?
Like you can't remake it in the FOX Engine, Kojima's not gonna work on it, so what would be the point? Who would even develop it?
I don't think that's true at all. You don't need to be a gaming enthusiasts to want to own the newest Console right of the Gate. I mean there is peope that buy the new Iphone every year and i woudn't call them "Apple enthusiasts"
I hope to god they're not remaking MGS1 over. Do MGS 4 if anything. There's so many other things that would Sony could benefit from instead.
Like Legend of Dragoon!

Far away from being an insider. Just heard about it at the beginning of August and mentioned it a few times in this thread. Kojima gave his ok and the game will be at least time exclusive.
