Uh yo I fucking love Remedy games. They're one of my favorite developers. What I'm talking about is why would anyone want Sony to own them, when they seem to be doing well enough on their own. "Yes please more exclusivity!"
I think Remedy just now getting full rights back for Alan Wake is why Sony is looking into them, because without Alan Wake, Remedy only truly own Control, which isn't even tested yet.
Welp if Sony's first party isn't enough to convince you to buy a console, they aren't doing their job
In the 3rd person sci-fi genre? They've got Guerrilla and who else?
True, Control will be an interesting litmus test in that regard. And I do agree that Remedy's brand of narrative-focused games fit right alongside a lot of Sony's output. But unless it's necessary, I don't think people should ever be cheering for acquisitions without a very very good reason.
I mean third person story driven games. They've got those on lock already
Yeah, thats horrible. Even more when it comes from a personal cult, like all those "Phil to the rescue, Phil should buy th, Phil yaddayadda."
It's not just that, but if you are gonna spend 100mil on a studio, you might as well get their ip's.
Sony already put some of their exclusives on PC. They didn't even have to but they did. All of them though? Of course not. The reality is, exclusives do sell systems. That's a big part of how Sony won this gen, in addition to making the right decisions elsewhere too, like pricing, etc. You think most people are going to double dip to buy an Xbox game if they already own it on PC? They won't. That's usually how this goes, gaming can be a pretty expensive hobby.
I wouldnt say they have synergy, rather, they have overlap. Sony already makes these kinds of games.
Litterally what Japanese studio and don't say Platinum or From.
Isn't Level-5 making hella bank off Yokai Watch?
Even if the shit flopped Level-5 has already stacked up so much money, I highly doubt their looking to be acquired right now.
