Trying to think of solid devs that wouldn't be outrageously expensive or owned by a large corporation
Sanzaru, Cyberconnect2, Platinum.

Thats what I thought as well. Insomniac is the full package for sony right now.
People should stop bringing up Insomniac because they simply don't want to be bought. They like being independent, and they have no problem getting work as an independent studio.
Sanzaru to continue the Sly franchise would be awesome!
Anybody consider that new San Diego Studio could just be built to support multiplayer titles? At least in the interim before they grow enough to become a full blown studio. That's definitely one thing that ND could do better on.
Also, inb4 Sony announces Remedy as a new first party studio, along with Bluepoint.

Nah, they were hiring for a 3rd person action/adventure game, and were hiring a lead character artist for "the next chapter of cinematic storytelling"
If I were Sony I'd try my best to get Insomniac. They were 3/3 on quality AAA games in a gen where many developers only released 1 game:
Sunset Overdrive
Ratchet and Clank
Spider-Man
Sunset Overdrive
Ratchet and Clank
Spider-Man
Just like Ready at Dawn who made the best rated PC VR game (Lone Echo) and is working on a mysterious console AAA.
No one mention them maybe because they are already loyal to PlayStation but I'd love Falcom to become a first party, with Sony helping them to grow in order to push the technical/visual side a little further :)
Well that throws that theory out the window then, haha.
So we're back on the definitely making an Uncharted train, then.
For those out of the loop could you expand on this a little? Thanks.
I could swear Ted said (maybe around SpiderMan release?) that Insmoniac don't mind the idea of being bought if the right price is there, and people here brought it up a lot and the contrast between that response and the one years before. I just can't find that statement when I search for it.
Jim Ryan said Sony is looking into acquiring studios, then Benji tweeted that they're indeed looking into it and Zhuge retweeted the news. Both have a very solid track record.
Housemarque makes sense because they seemed to be having trouble surviving independently. RAD wouldn't surprise me that much either, but any other studios I'd be very surprised about. I hope there won't be any acquisitions just out of fear of Microsoft/Google.
Housemarque and Bluepoint make the most sense to me. Remedy will become the new Quantic Dream.
Bluepoint is a steal for Sony. Making remakes of classic PS1 and PS2 games is huge. Every time Bluepoint announces a new game it could potentially be a megaton.

Thanks. I thought you were talking about a specific studio and went looking to no avail.

Yep!
Among Insomniac in my opinion Bluepoint would be the best studio Sony could invest.
I mean the amount of content Sony has on their hands is insane and could fill any gaps on genres they might be lacking on new games...
Bluepoint already said that they want to build they own IP. So I doubt they'll remain a remake/remaster studio forever.
hmm makes you wonder if they are working on the new Horizon or that MP rumour and job stuff may lead to a NEW MP IP by GG?
like how Ninja Theory is doing Bleeding Edge

Sony doesn't own the IP for most of those games. Especially the most popular ones.
"We give you time and budget to do your own thing...as long as you keep a Team B working on remakes forever" :p
They're most likely working on two games. We know Simon Larouche is a Game Director for an unannounced game at Guerrilla. It's hard to imagine that he's heading up H2 instead of de Jonge.
I know that, but I'm sure they can get rights to some of the popular ones.
it is just that the art station account for that new employee is MP character focused (overwatch, OCs, etc..)
I remember back people assumed the second project (if there is one) would be a KZ due to MP hiring or whatever but I can see it being a new MP only IP
I think most are expecting Simon's game to be multiplayer. His history is in multiplayer, from designing KZ2's maps to directing Rainbow Six Siege. And Sony's been open about wanting to do better in the multiplayer space. Given how successful RBS has been, it makes complete sense for Sony to fund a new multiplayer IP from him.
Why MP only? Guerrilla can take what they learned from Horizon and make a really FPS campaign. They are leaving an entire segment of their market out by going MP only.
It's tough to believe that TLOU2 will be releasing almost 7 years after the original. I remember thinking that there would be a sequel early into the PS4's life (this was when ND was releasing a new game at the cadence of 2 years). Now here we are speaking about PS5.
There would have been if Hennig's Uncharted didn't fall apart.
True, but they own some nice IP's that could be worked on: Motorstorm, Twisted Metal, Ape Escape, ICO, SOCOM, tons of JRPG's (Dark Cloud, Legend of Dragoon, Alundra, Wild Arms, WKC)
But I think they would be great doing new IP's too.
I wouldn't read into those tweets.
I retweeted it because it's news and Benji probably did the same.
Probably talking about Epic GS, but...
Housemarque CEO: Sometimes You Need Exclusive Deals Because Money Doesn't Grow on Trees

The same reason they made a SP only game?
So they can put their full focus on that one aspect and not have it compromised by the other.
That's what you get for letting yourselves get excited, ponies.
But you wouldn't have retweeted it if you thought it to be inaccurate.
Considering Guerrilla has made 3(4) Killzone games with SP and MP if it would take compromise to put together a full package at this point I have to wonder why. If they pull it off so be it, but the Siege and Overwatch MP successes are rare. Not including battle royal games which I really hope they aren't doing.
A MP game would take a way less time to develop, it could be a PS5 launch game because of that.
It was in the interview for the 20-year of Insomniac with IGN that Ted Price said that.
because battle arena like FPS games are popular right now and said games usually don't focus on SP modes let alone story modes
maybe a tournament like sp could work though
if GG wanted to focus on SP story then they have the other team doing Horizon, etc...
can't see resources being used for both their bigger now but doing such for that other team would take needed resources/workers away from Horizon I feel
It's not hard to do both though and they have the talent to do both. I'll wait to see what they come up with before making any judgement, but no SP would make it much less likely for me to buy it to even try the MP.
Yup, thanks for this. It definitely seems like Insomniac is slightly open to the possibility versus never. I imagine insomniac can look at Naughty Dog for example and see how they have been able to keep their culture for so long.
