I think BP will still do remakes but they have expressed interest a few times in doing their own IP. If Sony has a acquired them they pretty much have the funding for it plus they already have experience with the PS5.

Yeah if they're getting bought I would hope the benefit to them is they get to make their own original game. While selfishly I still want them to have a team making remakes. Or alternating back and forth, would be cool if they got the funding to do both simultaneously.

I think the Bluepoint acquisition is real because Sony and Bluepoint would've denied that it was happening if it was untrue.

This wasn't a rumor, it was a deleted tweet from an official account.

I was about to say this. No one has denied it. They just haven't said anything. This was from an official social media channel. If it was a mistake they would have certainly put out a statement. Especially seeing as people and the media are talking about it.

Always speculating what game they will remake next will be fun.

I hope they grow to two teams. One focusing on remakes and the other on their own IP:s

Herman is hustlin so far with these studio partnerships & now acquisitions. Its also finally nice to see another EU Studio being added and not closed under SIE.

Funny enough ive been saying expect to see more and more vets move into making their own studios amidst certain acquistions I won't be surprised if more also come out of it from some of the larger companies.

They are starting their own studio because the creator market is super frothy in the entertainment industry (look at how much Apple is paying creators for their original programming initiative for example). Multi billion and trillion dollar companies are throwing record levels of investments towards top talent and even acquiring studios for large sums of money. So it makes sense for creators to do something on their own with the potential to make 100x more than they could ever make working at a publisher. Gotta set up for an early retirement.

It's not in Sony's style to announce an acquisition during a game showcase. For one, it's about the games, not the business. Two, you're risking the acquisition stealing the thunder of the games being shown or vice versa.

Bluepoint will have their blogpost and round of interviews just like Housemarque and Insomniac and it'll probably be pretty soon.

Going off by how SIE spaced out the annoucements for those 3 studio partnerships, We'll probably see a BluePoint aquisition on another Tuesday morning in July.

Totally agree, I always liked the idea of Sony having a "remake studio" capable of reviving their legacy franchises (not saying that BP shouldn't work on original IPs too, but I'd l just love them to keep making remakes as well).

eeeeeyup I'd do the same thing. companies are content starved they def want more but also may not always know who to get internally or people get lost as just an employee number. Good to see and I hope to see more come out of this as times goes on. I wouldn't be shocked sony is using Dreams also to find people who may have crazy good ideas for games.

Makes a lot of sense to get these acquisition announcements and press done this week ahead of an event next week that can focus on games.......

I dont think Bluepoint even have a creative director, hard for them to work on a new IP without one

If there's a project worked on by BP/Sony (be it MGS or whatever), I think they'll wait until its announcement to say they've acquired them.

The only reason that the Bluepoint acquisition leaked is that it has already reachd the front facing blog/twitter marketing employees (which they get very shortly prior to the announcement), they arent suddenly waiting on it until some game announcement that might as well be years out (which is pretty unusual thing to do regardless)
