[Damn Silly]

well there goes my dreams of sunset overdrive 2

 

[stumblebee]

May as well have been a Sony studio to begin with. Congrats to that team. I hear Sony treats their teams very well.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

WOW

 

[fdst1983]

Jesus... PS5 is going to be huuuuge

 

[PostModernMaybe]

RIP Sunset Overdrive

 

[vestan]

LMAO

 

[TuMekeNZ]

Perfect fit.

 

[Lifejumper]

Hahahha

 

[angel_deamon]

OMG. Microsoft, look how is done!

 

[Bear]

Makes sense. But wow that's crazy. Would love to know how much they paid....

 

[Deleted member 8593]

Goddamn

 

[Callibretto]

Holy shit

 

[Deleted member 4532]

It's like thirty damn threads I'm laughing hard

 

[SuperBoss]

Worldwide Studios just got bigger, this is crazy. Congrats all around.

 

[Couscous]

Megaton right here

 

[Gentlemen]

Fuse Developer Insomniac Games

Click to shrink...

You monster. those people have families

 

[Wallace Wells]

HOLY SHIT

 

[Guaraná]

Better than all the companies MS bought

 

[flare]

I'm shocked.

 

[MilesQ]

Holy shit!!

It was always a matter of a good offer rather than not accepting any and with Sony they have guaranteed work with Spiderman 2.

 

[ShinobiOfTheWind]

As I've said numerous times (even here on ERA) to much reject that Ted Price would never go 1st party because he's resisted this long,

it was THANOSABLE...

 

[Gravidee]

For some reason I thought that Insomniac was already owned by Sony.

 

[Sirolf]

Ahaha yes yes !!! This is wonderful for the PS5 !

 

[TimeFire]

Makes sense. If I was a casual-gamer and didn't know about Sunset Overdrive, I'd probably think they were already a Sony 1st party.

Really happy for Insomniac. They are, and always have been, a great developer.

Click to shrink...

Oh. They did Sunset Overdrive. I actually thought they were already a first party lol

 

[aerie]

That title, my gosh. I'm never huge on acquisitions like this, but I've always associated Insomniac with Sony and I hope this gives them all the job security they need, and the ability to work on even more fantastic games.

 

[TimPV3]

Sony realized it didn't want Indomniac fooling around with any other publishers and finally put a ring on it.

 

[NotLiquid]

I mean, it's kinda weirder that they didn't buy them already.

RIP Sunset Overdrive.

 

[Maximus]

Wow it finally happened. Good for Sony.

 

[kurahador]

RIP Sunset Overdrive.

 

[antennastoheaven]

Good thing they got Sunset Overdrive for PC out before this.

I expect good things, they already had a really tight partnership with Sony

 

[Gravity Insanity]

Oh my

 

[Sanox]

The least surprising news possible.

So is this it for Sony accuisitions for now or is there talk about Sony doing more

 

[MadeULook]

Damn. Guess Sony is next up to clean up their shopping list.

 

[Sim]

this is the canon thread

 

[TheHighMarshal]

Makes sense, hasn't all but one of their games been exclusively on PlayStation and the one that wasn't was pretty shit?

Now, give me another Resistance.

 

[ByWatterson]

Gamescom: 10/10.

Gamescom > E3

Holy shit. Can you imagine if they queue up Spider-Man 2 for PS5 launch??!? Megaton.

 

[--R]

Spider-man 2 soon, please. The first one is so good.

 

[RestEerie]

Made 10000% sense...

 

[Deleted member 420]

Holy shit

 

[ShadowGP]

So many news today!!!!!!

 

[NinjaScooter]

It was probably a foregone conclusion, but at least this pretty much confirms we're getting a Spiderman followup from the same team.

 

[ckareset]

Damn. Kinda surprising after Spider-man 2. Sony must have sucked up all the profit (They funded it to be fair)

 

[Vertpin]

AWESOME!!!!

 

[Rowsdower]

Fuse developer.

I'm dying.

 

[The_R3medy]

Wow, Surprising to see Insomniac be willing to sell. Ted always talked about how much they valued their independence.

That's a good get for Sony, though I don't think it was ever in doubt that they would be working largely with Sony going into next gen.

 

[Omar310]

God tier title

[doublechocochip]

Megaton!
