I guess Capcom would be a decent fit, but that adquisition is only mariginally less insane than fucking Zenimax.
This must be related to a second project, I think Spiderman 2 is already advanced in development
Holy shit guys, that's the guy who leaked massive info about the ps4 pro
Even his "stats" are nice and informative, but I cannot remember that this guy ever teased something and got it right. I dont think he has any knowledge.
Yeah that's my point also. No one teased it and it happened. I think these acquisition things are familiar with just a bunch of the most important people over at SIE and potentially Zenimax
Quality it is more important,no matter where it come.
Yeah,I agree.
I get the sentiment, but if there was a shot (lets be honest, there isnt) of locking down Elder-Scrolls, Doom, Fallout, Dishonored, and Wolfenstein in a single fell swoop... You would be insane to not go for it
Horizon was a beautiful game and still is.
Personally, I would want to see more UK studios from Sony. The talent pool is good here, a new studio in Cambridge or London is a must IMO.

If any big publisher is bought it'll forever change the industry, and in a very negative way. It's not something anyone should be hoping for or wanting;.
I'd be down for this. It always felt like they gimped the first game because of the PS4's incredibly bad CPU. It was (and it absolutely still is) a beautiful game, but I specifically remember them talking about the weapons bending metal etc, having the physics be a way bigger part of the gameplay than they ended up being.
I remember seeing either a tech demo, or a picture of one, about the physics. Can anyone lend a hand and help me find it?

If Zenimax were to be acquired, it would most likely be by Microsoft. Or Google. Could you imagine that?
Actually, any big acquisition would make more sense if they're embracing (hypothesis) a multiplatform approach for the future. A few months ago I would have thought these moves unthinkable, but right now and until their strategy is clear, everything seems possible. It's just a matter of how much PlayStation desires to go that way, or rather, if other buyers in the market aren't willing to go as far.
The industry already going to change by a huge amount in the next 10 years that i don't think a big pub getting buy is a huge effect .
You think that they'd be the only one? It's going to be a domino effect if one of them is bought. There's no upside to these big multiplatform companies suddenly being housed under platform manufacturers. Does anyone really want a future where you can only play Capcom games if you're using whatever platform Facebook is pushing? Or Square if you're using Stadia?
I can see Sony wanting to offset some of the hardware losses of going into PC by adquiring some devs and increasing their software output (and therefore the amount of PS5 console exclusives)... But a huge publisher-SIE merger is a tad bit extreme.
The recent amount of PC centric and adquisition murmors going on, at the same time, could mean something... Or it could all be (and likely is) BS. Who the fuck knows

I don't want it but truth is i see the market heading that way .
You'd think MS would fight tooth and nail for Zeni/Bethesda, they always had a good relationship since OG Xbox. I would actually believe the rumor if it was MS, I don't think Sony is crazy enough to go through with it...yet. But given the whole PC conundrum it does seem like a good 4D chess move (which is clearly what they are playing given all these news).
People really believe that Sony aquired Bethesda? C'mon, guys. That would be biggest megaton in decades, like... The biggest aquisition I can think of in the game's indutry. Also Bethesda is huge with tons of IPs, this doesn't make sense.
As of now there's really nothing to suggest that. The studios being bought don't really shift anything one way or the other.
It does. Except Shinobi just left us a copy of the obituary. ;_;
So negative on the Sony/Zenimax thing then? Wonder if anyone else is shopping around for them.
He not going to say anything he made this clear already yet some of you keep calling him here.
I didn't call him here, I was trying to interpret his gif out loud.
The "it's time to play" one? No, Sony's been using that since November

by making a spiritual successor aka the Dark Souls Situation
If what Zenimax is looking to do is sell studios, that is a LOT more reasonable when it comes to Sony. Arkane ending up a Sony dev makes a ton more sence than Id or Bethesda.
I mean, why not? If you're going to have exclusives release on PC why not allow them anywhere? What's the downside? Seems arbitrary.

Microsoft is a direct competitor to Sony unlike the PC Market.
Because Xbox is a direct competitor to PlayStation? If Sony were to publish everything on Xbox they might as go full 3rd party and ditch hardware as PlayStation hardware would be irrelevant.
