Londo Studio (had a different name though) and Polyphony. Both have been Sony studios longer than the PS has been sold.
People always think Sony is doing something they are not
Pretty crazy when you think about it.
It is just that Sony barely updates that WWS page. The woke up during the Asobi announcement though.
Before they had broken links and old statements, etc...
I just had a look at the PS Studios webpage.
It was something that stood out to me.
Yah, the issue is, the department responsible for upkeep of that page was most likely not privy to the acquisition. So didn't receive marketing material on time. Besides, there's no use updating the banner now when there's going to be another addition around the corner. ;)
Long overdue.
After it is officially announced we can finally all rest and never speculate about that ever again. 😂
I am pretty convinced of that too.
If there the obvious update on games already announced plus
Bloodborne Director's Cut
MGS Director's Cut
WiLD relaunch
ERA will die
Sony did a PR post on the SIE website:

Sony Interactive Entertainment Acquires Housemarque, Developer of Recent PlayStation®5 Hit Returnal
SAN MATEO, Calif., June 29, 2021 – Sony Interactive Entertainment (“SIE”) announced today that SIE has completed the acquisition of Housemarque Oy (“Housemarque”), a leading game developer and long-time partner of SIE. Recognized for its extensive experience in the arcade-shooter genre as well...

Yup, long overdue. Should have really happened a couple of games ago and at the latest after the masterful Shadow of the Colossus Remake. But at least it looks like they've finally corrected that following the equally amazing Demon's Souls Remake.
imo the gameplay in Control is not strong enough for a multiplayer game as it is.
Ghost of Tsushima at least has stealth and enough varieties to keep encounters interesting.
Assassin's Creed has co op levels on some of its entries, like in Unity, which I actually like.
So always gave them work same with HM they had a sweet deal and partnerships with them which work out very well. But right now it is a different story the way the industry is going.
Yup. Both have been great partnerships and the way the industry is going it was the right time to finally get it done.

Sooo my PS5 is dead.
Anyone know the best way to contact Sony about this? Calling them seems to be a game of endless waiting. Chat seems to be for non-hardware support only.

In other, non acquisition news. I started playing the Yakuza series again after taking over a year break from the series last may since I had played 0, Kiwami 1/2, 3, and 4 all back to back essentially and was burnt out.
Yakuza 5 is fun so far. Surprisingly had a lot of fun with the Taxi missions as Kiryu , being able to drive and race was a fun change in the series. Currently on Chapter 2 and these hunter mission you play as Seijima are pretty fun and addicting too Didn't expect multiple fleshed out and expansive minigames.

Oh, Yakuza 5 goes above and beyond with it's minigames, the game is massive.
Its the game where Sega decided to throw the kitchen sink at Yakuza. Its absolutely amazing for me, I love the amount of content 5 has, others dislike how long it is. Content wise its easily the most fun game to 100% in my opinion, its a long haul but super fun to do over a month or two period. I'm excited to see how the school stuff in Lost Judgment goes, as that looks like its "big" side content in the game.
Since Hermen now edits his avatar to fit some theme, what will he use to announce BP aquisition?
Remedy could always improve & evolve the gameplay in the sequel & release MP with it; reminds me of Uncharted 2.
I appreciate their efforts beyond just single-player where incorporating the gameplay into new contents; whether mini games like in Yakuzas or Days Gone Challenge Modes or Tsushima's Legends.
I think the gameplay of control lends itself very well for an MP game.
It's a spinoff so there will no doubt be different weapons and powers.

Great timing for the new OP. Housemarque (and potentially Bluepoint) feels like something Sony would announce a few days before a big show. They get the "business" side of things out the way and then give us the games.
Probably my most anticipated non first-party game next to Kena. Hopefully we get a release date.
That reminds me. Can't wait to see what he's working on next.
I am now curious what they making sure I dont think the remake needs another writer to add stuff. Or I could be very wrong about that lol
Yes! Can't wait to see more of Stray whenever they're ready to show it.
I swear someone made a punished snake/eyepatch edit of Jim Ryan but I can't find it haha
I'm really enjoying it so far, a lot of fun.
It really does, just 2 chapters in I feel like has enough content to fill an entire other Yakuza game. Not sure if i'll 100% the game yet but if there are even more expansive mini games like the 2 i currently have done and doing. Look forward to seeing what else there is.
I'm not going to lie, but after the Haruka chapters in Yakuza 5 I would take a full RGG idol spin-off game.
Imagine a studio announcement per day until the announcement of the PS showcase.
Would be incredible !
5 is the only one in the series I don't own nor have played yet. Ironically, I am playing 6 now and I am about 60 hours in on Chapter 8. I always take my time to explore and do side missions or just take a stroll into the arcade and play some Virtua Fighter or Space Harrier. Yakuza games are best when you play at your leisure. I'll definitely jump into 5 eventually. Probably when I finish Judgement.
Imagine if a WarHawk looked like this?I hope Sonys multiplayer games are more in the vain of this...

Doubt it. I expect most of them to be uninspiring and dead on arrival. Not saying that Embark game will actually be good, no idea too
