Sony Interactive Entertainment has acquired Insomniac Games

[criteriondog]

FINALLY

 

[Anthony Hopkins]

Good get for Sony.

 

[Lynchian Anomaly]

I hope this doesn't pigeonhole them as an exclusively Spider-man studio.

Good for them though.

 

[Funky_Monkey]

Wonder what happens with their Occulus VR game?

 

[JigglesBunny]

Holy fucking shit. Ratchet and Spidey as far as the eye can see!

 

[Alienhated]

Eh, they were already kind of a second party developer anyway.

 

[Agent X]

Insomniacs is awesome! Congratulations to them!

 

[KainXVIII]

Fuse Developer

 

[udivision]

Give me spider man 2-5 thanks

 

[Courage]

Just love seeing these acquisitions happen as a Gamer, hype!!!!

 

[NickatNite]

Fuse

lol

 

[carlsojo]

But are we sure Spider-Man is PS4 exclusive?

Niche-Man 2 coming to PS5

 

[DixieDean82]

Not surprising at all.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Lmao. Look at all the threads of people trying to be first.

 

[Slaythe]

Let them make Jak and Daxter ps5 you cowards since naughty dogs won't.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

A long time coming but a perfect fit and tbh they mainly only worked at their best making games under Sony.

 

[FullMetalTech]

Great news indeed. They seemed like a perfect match for a long time. I wonder what will happen to the SO ip. Is that MS?

 

[____]

Thread title is golden.

 

[Pharaoh]

Holy fucking shit!!!!!!!

 

[lazerface66]

Now i'm never gonna get my sweet, sweet Sunset Overdrive 2 :(

 

[Deleted member 3017]

god, I love that thread title lmao

 

[Deleted member 42]

WHO PUT FUSE IN THE TITLE

 

[Jaychrome91]

About damn time. I wonder if Sony will buy remedy too.

 

[WoahW]

Lol why are people acting like this is huge or surprising, did anyone actually believe Sony would let them do anything but PlayStation after Spider-Man?

Here's hoping we get a sequel and some other Marvel games

 

[DorkLord54]

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.

They also did Sunset Overdrive, which got pretty good reviews.

 

[IIFloodyII]

They are literally a perfect buy for Sony, great existing relationship, great studio with multiple teams and are very experiences in VR.

 

[Rosur]

RIP Sunset Overdrive 2 then. Though about time sony did this.

 

[Deleted member 5129]

Fuse developer lol

 

[WestEgg]

Given how Insomniac was pretty tied to Sony already, from a consumer standpoint does this change anything?

 

[Dierce]

Huge loss for MS and even bigger gain for Sony. I don't understand why Phil doesn't buy any AAA game studios and continues to spend money on a bunch of smaller indie devs. The Xbox desperately needs another big studio, well regardless Im looking forward to what they do for the PS5 and hopefully they still have the rights to Sunset Overdrive so that we get a sequel.

 

[ChaosXVI]

Won't lie, I remember back when Sunset Overdrive was announced, I was super confused because I thought Sony owned Insomniac. Kind of surprised this didn't happen many years earlier unless they couldn't agree on terms or something. But even still, HUGE get by Sony. Sony-Man must have been enough to get them to whip out the check book and finally lock them down.

 

[kpaadet]

Sunset Overdrive 2 PlayStation exclusive. Didn't think Insomniac would let themselves be bought.

 

[GaseousSnake]

Omg

 

[aisback]

holy fuck

I thought they always wanted to stay independent

I hope this means we get Sunset Overdrive on PS4 now.

 

[SAB-CA]

A Majority of their work has been PS focused. It'll be kinda sad not to get another take on Sunset Overdrive on Xbox, but besides that... sounds like business as usual.

Good for them, I hope it's pure profit and growth for them. Looking forward to seeing what this leads to.

 

[Dust]

WHAAAAAAAT

 

[Plasma]

Microsoft, look how it is done!

Click to shrink...

Eh?

 

[Mbolibombo]

THat's pretty huge

 

[Deleted member 437]

Uhhhh.............

Ok this is massive news

 

[Mega1X]

I am not surprised at all! Insomniac and Sony have always worked well :) Match made in heaven!

I cannot wait for the new spiderman.

 

[Mr_DyZ]

Microsoft, look how it is done!

Click to shrink...

Let me know when Sony has a gamepass equivalent, or the ability to buy once "play anywhere".

I'll be waiting.

 

[logash]

lmao @ "Fuse developer" Insomniac games.

 

[Couscous]

Biggest news of the day

 

[Empyrean Cocytus]

Wonder what happens with their Occulus VR game?

Click to shrink...

If only Sony had their own VR platform they could easily port it to. Hmm.

 

[DiscoThunder]

Insomniac made Fuse? Lmao

 

[rottenpie]

Omg :O

 

[Dusk22]

Cool for Sony and Insomniac. I hope the oculus game Stormland still comes out.

 

[Servbot24]

Wow, that is huge.

I wonder if Insomniac needed it of if this is more of a power play. I hope it's the former, because the latter sucks for gamers.

 

[BasilZero]

Surprised it didn't happen sooner


I hope they still make ratchet and clank games but I have feeling R&C will be shelved for a uncharted like IP...which isn't a problem though I guess lol

 

[Haze]

Pretty disappointing but I wish nothing but the best for insomniac

 

[Garrett 2U]

That's a great pickup for Sony. Insomniac is a great developer. And they clearly killed it with Spider-Man.

 

[Deleted member 17627]

I feel like this guarantees Spider Man 2, but can we please get another Ratchet game?

 

[mreddie]

MEGATON



I'm shocked it took this long.

 

[deadasdisco]

Better than all the companies MS bought

Click to shrink...

lmao already started.......

 

[Dazraell]

This makes sense. They were working with Sony for so long over many franchises, it was weird they weren't bought earlier.

 

[Deleted member 6730]

I mean, they've been working with Sony for the most part, and pretty much all of their successes has been under them so it makes sense.

My question is why now after not wanting to for almost a decade?
