[RUMOR] Sony to acquire Bluepoint Games very soon

They are directly comparing Bluepoint to Sucker Punch and Media Molecule and used the number games they (BP) made for SIE as an argument against it. So my point still stands. Also, Bluepoint is not by any means a big company. They had 90+ employees as of early 2020 which would be comparable to Bend Studio's state mid-development or current Housemarque. I don't see any issues with Sony acquiring a long time partner like they did with Insomniac Games in 2019. It's not like they are buying a whole company who was known as a publisher. 🤔😐

I don't think that's how Sony roll. Probably just a blog post or something.
I just called Reggie and he told me this ISN'T happening. So put that in your pipe and smoke it.
I think everyone that suggests OP should be banned until it's announced should be banned when it is.
This gif...I cannot stop looking at it. Is this what it feels like to be hypnotized?
Weird response. Iwao's point was that none of those three acquisitions were/will be problematic at all because they weren't multiplatform developers in the first place.
Also, it took 20 years for SIE to acquire Insomniac because up until a few years ago, Ted Price wasn't interested in selling.
My bad. I must have misread their post. I thought they were against it based on this:
Requires a high-end PC? What? Boy you can play fucking PS2 on a 299 dollar Series S
User Warned: Thread Whining
This thread is going on ignore. Legit equally tedious as that Silent Hill thread and that Upgraded Switch 2021 thread. Fucking yawn!
God damn, imagine going through life being this fucking wrong.
How much is that going to sell though. As much as Demon Souls? Works out for the hardcore fans but it's not pushing 10 million. Sony is better off letting them create their own IP
A remaster is not as much work as a remake.
Plus if they also send it to PC it will reach 10 million.
Owning the console and ripping your own bios is also required.
I mean, someone walked me through ripping PS1/PS2 games over the course of two tiny posts on this forum, it's not rocket science.
Ripping the bios was really simple for PS2 and I already had my friend rip the PS1 bios years ago as that was confusing as hell but still something that relatively didn't take very long for him.
To be fair, Insomniac WAS multiplatform...and so are Bluepoint.
That said, it feels like just a matter of time before Sony acquires them. And that's perfectly fine.
I think some people are a bit confused about what a Bloodborne remaster would be, it seems that you think it would be a $70 game when in reality should be a Spider-Man type of remaster, just $20.
Demon's Souls is a remake, I would totally pay $70 for that treatment on Bloodborne but we're talking about res and fps improvements, they won't charge you $70 just for that.

there's nothing to remaster except fixing the frame pacing and spider-man should not have been a new release
I don't even know why OP should be banned, if the original post was approved then it was because they had some proof that made the thread stay open, and if the deal fails it could happen for something that is out of their reach
They've only had 2 non-Sony exclusives ever, both being ports, and the last one being ~7 years ago. They were effectively exclusive. Insomniac yes, Bluepoint, not really
A remaster wouldn't sell as much as a full blown remake like DeS. The reason I didnt suggest a remake is the original game's visuals still hold up well. It really just needs a resolution bump and some work on the framerate. A fresh coat of paint, not a complete overhaul.
Its perfectly fair to say Bluepoint have earned the right to create their own original IP and not be forever doing remakes. Im not trying to argue a BB remaster is an optimal use of resources either. I just trust BP more than any other company outside of From themselves to do justice to a game like BB.
Ah, yes. Bloodborne Remastered for PS5/PC...
We shall not abandon the dream...
Bluepoint, do you hear our prayers?

So if OP gets banned on the 28th, but Sony buys Bluepoint in let's say.. May, would he be brought back from the shadow realm?
lol so how long exactly is the cut off in your eyes? Cause personally, I think seven years as a PS exclusive studio isn't very multiplatform.
They're basically an independent dev studio that makes games on client request. Their sole client in the past few years has been Sony - and they've cultivated a close relationship with them - but that doesn't necessarily they'd reject MS if - for example - they approached them to make a new Banjo Kazooie game. Same way insomniac was open for years to make a Sunset Overdrive sequel.
Same way Moon Studios next game is likely to be on Playstation, despite the studio being heavily associated with Microsoft since inception.
I probably wouldn't have called Remedy an 'MS exclusive studio' in the years before Control was announced.
