Sure and as a concept artist, I fully agree with your statement. However, it doesn't mean that if the IP can that it should be done.

Would want.
Once again, this proves insiders don't know shit. No one knew sony would announce this acquisition today or bluepoint would leak. No one knows anything pertaining to anything sony does and to a large extent nintendo and microsoft.Interesting how nobody reputable is outright disputing the Bluepoint acquisition.
Everyone talking about GG but it actually would be interesting if that Arc System Rumour was also true and announced this week as well.
Sony having a fighting game studio would be a first for the company.
What is weird is that no insider on any form of social media or forums talked about said rumour.Yup this is the more interesting rumor, if they are planning for this week to announce Aquisitions then this would be crazy going into a event if they are having one soon
I know that rumor started by someone banned off here but has anyone else commented on it at all? Or is it kinda just wishful thinking by this pointEveryone talking about GG but it actually would be interesting if that Arc System Rumour was also true and announced this week as well.

I don't know why folks think Sony is throwing Days Gone under the rug. They were included in the official announcement!
Polyphony Digital. Gran Turismo is the oldest and most selling franchise in Sony's portfolio. It's always been Sony's quiet success story.
I believe the reason it was talked about is because said person leaked the GoT stand alone spinoff gameI know that rumor started by someone banned off here but has anyone else commented on it at all? Or is it kinda just wishful thinking by this point
Yup.😱😱😱
If such a thing ever came to pass I'd probably be done with new releases and would just play older stuff. Thankfully, I don't see that happening anytime soon.
100%I always thought it was weird and shortsighted for Sony to have never made a bid for Ready at Dawn. Like, yeah, The Order 1886 was a bit of a misfire, but it was still fun, not to mention technically astounding. Plus they were pretty much the premier developer for PSP (Daxter, God of War Chains of Olympus, and God of War Ghost of Sparta) and could have been the premiere developer for PSVR, if Lone Echo is anything to go by (I feel like Sony needs a few PSVR exclusive developers if they want it to really take off next time around 🤔 ).

I believe it amounts to different times and different leadership. The industry is way different now then it was then. SIE back then wasn't looking to acquire and expand as much as they are now with said partnerships.I always thought it was weird and shortsighted for Sony to have never made a bid for Ready at Dawn.

random ThursdayQuite a lot to catch up on since last night, lol
BP acquisition when tho?
The only thing really consistent with Sony acquiring studios is that they acquire those that they've developed games with. Aside from that it's impossible to judge who they'll want to pick up. Just look at Guerrilla. At the time they acquired them the only two games they had to their name was Shellshock, which is downright atrocious, and Killzone, which was okay. But they apparently saw something in them and now they have what might be the most anticipated game of the year. Meanwhile David Cage was pretty open about that he was not only okay with Sony acquiring Quantic Dream, but that he wanted it to happen. But they never pulled the trigger on it. Of course that turned out to be a good decision on Sony's part for a variety of reasons.
i feel like if the order had stuck the landing they would have. a big console release seems to be Sony's proving grounds. the order 1886 got absolutely demolished in word of mouth and critical reception and--if this had been a game Sony was actually reliant on--like say, if they were in position of weakness in the market and really needed a game to be a homerun, the order would've completed failed at that. it would've just been a point of mockery and derision against the console. think like Haze on PS3. so it's understandable in a way. the order launched early in PS4's life but by all metrics it flopped while in a dominant market position. it's not a great look. and, in fact, at the time PS4 had astounding word of mouth and the order was one of the few blemishes on a long hot streak of PR wins. if anything The Order may have cast some doubt on Sony's ability to deliver quality, lengthy SP games, too.I always thought it was weird and shortsighted for Sony to have never made a bid for Ready at Dawn.

Make it Wednesday. Have new news every day of the week for this week and end it with a bang.
Posted some takes and videos he probably should have been kept to himself
Posted some takes and videos he probably should have been kept to himself
Sung to the tune of The Wellerman
There once was a thread I liked to see
And the name of the thread was the Sony O. T.
The restless crew begged constantly
To see a summer show
Soon may the Ryan-man come
With acquisitions and games and fun
And though he hates the PSone
He'll bring his summer show
Oh hell yeah.
I still think SIE is doing the right move by acquiring studios close to them, but not just only close also the quality overall.
Also I love to see SIE acquire Bluepoint (if true), but somehow I feel like BP need to prove themself by making their original true IP, not a remaking graphic from an already solid foundation classic game. I think despite SOTC and DS remake is very great, but there is nothing ground breaking different from those titles in terms of new things, especially comparing to RE2R or FF7R....
And if SOTC or DS can still be considering as a remake, then Team Crash Racing Nitro-fueled - Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy - Spyro Reignited Trilogy should be considered as remake as well.
Nah they dont need to prove anything they great at what they do and would be a immense help to Sony going forward Sony can reveal so many Ips with them. They dont new an original IP.I still think SIE is doing the right move by acquiring studios close to them, but not just only close also the quality overall.

I think the problem with RAD is that they found their corner to standout with FB/Oculus. Under Sony, they would have always lived under the shadows of ND and rest if they kept making games like The Order (hell just look at happened to poor Bend). With Lone Echo and the rest of their VR titles, they found themselves being at the top of their game in a different corner of the gaming market. So I think even if Sony made a bid for them, they probably would have taken the FB bid no matter what.I always thought it was weird and shortsighted for Sony to have never made a bid for Ready at Dawn.

Witch Hunter Robin with Gran Blue art style.
Sony has a massive portfolio of legacy IP that have been dormant for at least a decade, and I believe Jim Ryan said he wants to resurrect more dormant IP in the future, so Bluepoint could be a smart purchase for them as a means to bring back PlayStation's legacy in some capacity. Not to mention Bluepoint has a lot of good technology that Sony's internal studios could implement in their future games and vice versa.I still think SIE is doing the right move by acquiring studios close to them, but not just only close also the quality overall.

I cincur, the best games on PSP were the RAD games. I actually liked 1886 despite its flaws and thought it would redeem itself in the follow up.I always thought it was weird and shortsighted for Sony to have never made a bid for Ready at Dawn.

I wouldn't be surpirsed if Bends next game is open world and borrows some systems from Day's Gone but ends up being radically different in every other way. I think with the old guard leaving the studio and a lot of new creative leads and writers we're gonna get a huge departure. Using some of the systems makes sense since from what I hear a lot part of the development studio that was hired are still there.I think the problem with RAD is that they found their corner to standout with FB/Oculus.

Plus lets be honest, they had their shot and they blew it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Arcsys+ biggest moneymaker ip for Sony...
Been out of hte loop lately, what rumors pinpoint Arc system?Okay so
Housemarque - CHECK!
Only 2 rumors:
Bluepoint - pending
Arc System - pending
I don't know how they couldn't resize it so that dreams isn't cut off on the far rightDamn i didn't even realize that. Poor Media Molecule.....
Arcsys is a publisher, aren't they? That would be a pretty big get for sony, in terms of their anime division and licensing and their fighting game push. It's a tried and true fighting game studio but still mostly niche to where it wouldn't cause too much of an uproar like getting NetherRealm or capcom exclusivity again
That would actually be Fate/Grand Order, but I would absolutely buy a Fate game by Arc system worksArcsys+ biggest moneymaker ip for Sony...
Fate Zero/ Unlimited Blade Works
Same guy who first broke the Ghost of Tsushima expansion claims Sony is in talks to acquire Arc System Works. I would post his twitter feed but his content isn't allowed here. It's an Xbox fanboy account so definitely take a decently sized grain of salt, but if he got something right then maybe this one isn't right either? it also should be noted there's no corroboration that Sony is indeed talking to Arc. Only that account is making that claim.
Not any good rumors, the only reason why it is being heavily discussed is how close that rumor started to Sony suddenly starting to announce multiple acquisitions.
