Both of those studios seem rather large for an acquisition, then again Insomniac was big when Sony acquired them as well. Also, apparently level 5 is having issues right now, so they may be open for acquisition for more stability.

It's really sad to see Sony being this slow about growth. This is not how market leader should act.
MS will have more studios and a more powerful console come next gen and Sony is just chillin there doing nothing

Jak in particular I don't think is dead because of how big it can be if/when they bring it back. A remake of TPL would do big numbers for them.
Actually, we don't know either of those for sure, we don't know enough about either next-gen console to make that comparison.
They had better not introduce guns to that game. It's great as it is: a whimsical, fun, mysterious and exploratory adventure.
All these words you just said shows the qualities of a well cultured individual
My dream 5 teams that I wish that Sony would get, in order of priority (to me, obviously):
1. Kojima Productions
2. Remedy
3. FPS Studio - The MS thread mentioning of polish studios, really made me think of Techland for this role. That would be great. Crytek and Turtlerock are my other choices
4. JRPG Team - Level 5? Maybe? if not, then Cyberconnect2. Atlus would have been the perfect choice
5. Bluepoint
1. Kojima Productions
2. Remedy

I have a hard time seeing Kojima going under Sony anytime soon and I suspect Sony is satisfied with making exclusive deals instead of a full studio purchase..the only realistic ones I see are Bluepoint or Remedy, with the latter being the perfect match for Sony as mentioned in earlier posts.
If you can choose one new studio per region (Japan, Europe, NA), which it will be? No limitations.
It's Sony we are talking about here *shrugs*. Lets be honest, even if MS continues to pick up studios left and right, and Google and Amazon go on shopping sprees, IF we get lucky and Demon's Souls is a hit...
We might get Bluepoint at the end of the PS5 generation

Yeah, I agree with you. This list is mostly wishful thinking anyway. I do agree that Remedy is a perfect match for Sony.
Well never say never. Sony did acquire Insomniac Games after years of hearing Ted Price say they wanted to be independent. Anything can happen at this point. It just really feels like Sony is playing this extremely close to the chest this generation.
Considering the position that created for WWS recently I think I they will be an active buyer.
True but MS getting Insomniac would legitimately hurt Sony and rock the gaming landscape. I'd imagine they'd have paid whatever Ted Price wanted.
Although Ted did dabble with MS and also making multiplatform games and it didn't really work out. Their big hits were on PlayStation.
They very well could be. But until we actually see some concrete proof of Sony getting active in getting teams on board.... I don't really have any reason to believe that Sony is making it a priority to grow SIE's studio count.
Remedy has been head over heels to Sony past year. They are following everyone from Sony on social who are following them back, consistently messaging them and congratulating them, and they are constantly visiting Sony's studios. Something is definitely going on. Whether it's an acquisition or an exclusive PS5 game, which leads to an acquisition. But something is definitely going on. Lol
So Remedy is more likely than they ever have been for an acquisition. Bluepoint is the same. They've been all over Sony this past year. And of course, Kojima.
Kojima, Bluepoint, and Remedy currently all have legitimate chances to be acquired. No one's less likely than the next because they all have history and pure love relationship with SIE.

Sony are on great terms with plenty of studios, who knows what they're up to? It could be as simple as these studios making an exclusive for them. In case of Bluepoint, we already knows this.
Besides, who do you think would add to their portfolio i.e. bring something different to the table? KojiPro would've been the obvious choice but DS has hardly lit any charts on fire. I reckon Sony will continue to engage in partnership with these studios on game to game basis in near future.
Continues pick up studios left and right ?
They bought with Double Fine Productions one studio in the last 1,5 years and that's not a very big one...
And why Bluepoint at the end of PS5 after Sony already said they are interested in buying new studios ?
I believe the BP acquisition announcement will come sometime next year, they were the first studio who got mentioned from Sony together with the PS5 and that shows already both are very close.
Don't get frustrated my boy they are playing card, they already say it, just they don't want to be like Microsoft that talk to much on social media, they are quiet and preparing to trow bombs next gen get prepared to be surprised.
Considering they already acquired a huge independent developer in Insomniac and have preliminary scouting on buying Remedy I would already consider them active.
That was a troll post to be ignored. They just said what they can't get away with saying in the next-gen thread anymore.
People forget that Sony is expanding their own studios so don't be surprised to see more than one game in some of their studios.
An how much in the last 1,5 years ?
Some here are acting like MS is buying every month a new studio...
And I meant since E2018...
My english is not the best but is that so hard to understand ?
After e3 2018 they bought obsidian, inXile, double fine, and started worlds edge, their new age of empires studio
I hope the more optimistic people here are in fact right. Hopes and wishes for how SIE expands are purely theoretical for now, so fingers crossed for the best.
Ok thought inxile and Obsidian were also at E3 but all of them are long known and I don't understand how some are acting here xD
FYI acquisitions happen all the time in this industry, below are just some of them this year. So people don't need to be reactionary because it's not rare.
Sony's last acquisition is EMI and it makes them the biggest music publisher in the world. People should think bigger in terms of the acquisition, think developers or even publishers that can really propel Playstation to future domination.
- THQ Nordic Buys Warhorse
- Epic Buys Psyonix
- Sega buys Two Point
- Microsoft Buys Double Fine
- Ubisoft Buys Green Panda Games
- Bethesda Buys Alpha Dog
- Facebook Buys Beat Games
- Codemasters Buys Slightly Mad

After using UE4 in Days Gone, I won't be surprised if Sony Bend is gonna use Decima. Would be very cool
Just bought control and going to play it on my jet engine edition 2014 base ps4. Did remedy make any decent improvments for the base ps4?
Japan, Capcom
Europe, CD projekt
US, Bluepoint
You said no limitations 😁
Would be nice, but Bend Studio has too much experience with UE4. It's gonna be Unreal again for their next gen.
Is anything known about the UE5 or are devs already working with it ?
