No its not. Remedy announced yonks ago they were transitioning to Discord their discord channel invite is still live on their website. Some people think smoke equals fire, sometimes its just someone with a bowel of liquid nitrogen.
Then we should get the report about Sony trying to buy Remedy.
So basically all it is, is a PSVR dev (confirmed dev?) saying something about a private event and something about Remedies for anxieties. Whatever it is, it could be a partnership too for an exclusive or maybe like someone else said a Control RT demo maybe.
Didn't know that. Made some good friends there, good times talking about Alan Wake and following it's development, everyone was so excited about it. Last time I accessed it, it was July 2019, it was empty and lifeless.
It shouldn't especially when the decision could be the best for the studios future. MS is acquiring devs too and with Sony bringing more of their games to PC , you could probably play Remedy games on PC or even PS now someday and next gen MS will have more than enough games to keep fans occupied, they will probably get a talented studio to fill the third person cinematic void if need be.
Remedy would have been perfect to fill that void though, especially because it's a established studio and has history with MS. But who knows, maybe MS tried and they said no, maybe they aren't interested in being picked up at all.
Yeah, if its indeed happening, best of luck to Remedy and may they find success. But it sucks for me on a personal level, as I've been a supporter of Remedy for a long long time. I've always wanted them to become a multi developer because they deserve success.
And right now, buying another console just because of one developer / franchise is nonsense.

Pretty much if anything its probably a VR game, a limited time pack in RTX enhanced version of Control and possibly an exclusive. Or possibly all 3, if they were purchasing a public company they would have to make investors aware of their intentions publicly. Even after that the Finnish government may block the deal if it were to break competition law.
Did just i missed that weird job listings from 343... Senior Producer (Dec 18, 2019):

Are you saying Sony is going to announce "we're gonna try to bid Remedy" in the event?
This is... Tough to say right now. Having to find a publisher also limits what you can get greenlit, if it's risky you have to find a publisher that will take the risk, and self publishing is hard.
Microsoft has shown they're willing to take some more risks with their first parties recently, we'll probably never know how much more UNLESS Tim Schaefer comes out and says "I tried to make a Brutal Legend X Day of the Tentacle mech battle dating sim, but Xbox said it was too weird". And we don't know how Sonys first party will change going forward, whether they'll be open, or how open they'll be, to some weird shit.
To be fair, Sony has proven they're open to some weird stuff already, say what you will about all of Sonys big games looking the same, but they've approved and invested in some pretty surprising stuff, even not counting the odd Japanese stuff.
It's obvious MS was no longer interested in partnering with Remedy after Quantum Break yet alone wanting to acquire them. There is no mystery behind this.
Yet they are partnering with them on CrossFire X - after all Remedy is doing the single player component.
What a terrible response. They partnered with Smilegate specifically for a game that was so popular in Asia that it became the most played game in the world by player count to help bring to the west. Smilegate partnered with Remedy to develop the single player campaign. This is in no way anything remotely close to MS partnering with Remedy to publish one of their games.
Tell that to Death Stranding, and The Order.
Comercial failures happen everywhere.
no i think if there is one then it will be just a tweet or blog
Compulsion games post a job offer since 21 hours on Linkedin and they already have 39 candidates.
^^
Indie culture meets microsoft salary, if i wouldn't have a job i would apply. xD
QB, understandable but with Control they showed they CAN get games out in time without too many issues and delays. So who knows, it's possible that MS did offer it.
Anyway, let's say it is true, Xbox will still get Crossfire X SP and MP, right? MS didn't can Wasteland, didn't can We Happy Few. Sony has to let Crossfire weapon, no matter what, correct?
Compulsion is the biggest wild card out of all of the recent studio acquisitions. I'm very curious what their first game ends u[ being.
Crossfire X is a deal between MS and Smilegate. Remedy has to complete their deal with Smilegate and finish their end of the single player campaign no matter if they get bought out.
That's good to hear. The MP footage looked surprisingly great! Very, very curious about the first SP footage.
Yeah, I'm looking forward to the single player campaign due to Remedy developing it.
the order came at the beginning of gen snd new ip so it won't work it's 88+ meta.....
DS gameplay was the problem
The best time to introduce a new ip is around the beginning of a gen. Halo literally came at the beginning of a gen.
Was talking to my buddies about how awesome it was to see Yakuza at the XO19 last year, the element of surprise was huge for all of us. That for me is the perfect example of how it fucking sucks when a E3 show or another event gets leaked before it happens. Never underestimate the element of surprise.
I remember predicting Yakuza and other past Japanese games getting Xbox ports like Kingdom Hearts collection. I predict a mainline Persona game will be announced for Xbox this year.
We don't really know how Death Stranding did, regardless of NPD lists.
And The Order actually did make money.
Let's hope MS cares more about Europe xD
An incredible week of working on future Xbox plans with our top leads from across Europe like @GMaxee. It's going to be such an exciting year for our fans in 2020 and beyond! 🙌🏻🙅🏼♂️🔥

All I'm going to say is, no matter which developers are acquired whichever company and which ones stay independent, this generation is going to be crazy.
So much potential and creativity out there right now, indie games are bigger than ever, rejuvenated first party teams at both Xbox and Playstation, CAPCOM is back, etc.
I'm excited, to say at the very least.

Probably a lot of outsourcing right? I think this was rumored to be the case.
Me too. Even more intresting is the availablitiy of the advanced tools (unity, ue4) for even small teams to make awesome games.
Ayy looks like they're using the same artists they used for the bards tale remasters. Looks great!
