Aye, Death Stranding is so different and I'm glad he's had the chance to change his direction after so many MGS games.
There are again more hints suggesting Sony is interested in acquiring Remedy.
So today gurrila games tweeted about control and remedy and in the tweet there was a picture . If you zoom in on the bottom part of the picture , remedy has written gurrial games you are awesome. thank you gurrila games for all your help along the way to us.
This would be Abit weird if GG randomly helped Remedy if Sony wasn't interested in the studio.
What do you think

Developers help each other all the time. They visit each other, share tech info etc. They even go to GDC keynotes and discuss share thought processes with each other.
I think what you should be pointing out is one of the Remedy guys tweeting "See you soon" to Shuhei Yoshida. They're definitely working together in some capacity.
Hmm a first party this much invovled in a 3rd party ? This was not an event but simply gurrila helping remedy with their engine I m assuming .
Edit:
Just saw your edit Kyoufu . I haven't seen that lol. There is definitely something happening between the 2. Maybe a ps5 exclusive or studio acquisition
Keep in mind Remedy had no experience with PS4 development since they've been partnered with MS for the last decade.
I can't remember a time when Sony acquired a developer without working with them as a publisher on at least one game. I'm guessing what happens next is that Sony publishes Remedy's next game and if that goes well then Sony might bring them in to the family.
I figure that since Remedy has almost no experience with PS4, that Guerilla was asked for some help.
Most probably.and apparently Remedy has tweeted to shuhei see you soon.shuhei doesn't randomly meet 3rd parties number of times
There is a lot of smoke around PlayStation and Remedy right now that's for sure. It's just a matter of time to see whether there is a fire there or not.
Yoshida does visit with third-party developers when they are interested in a potential publishing deal. Hence my suggestion that Sony will likely be the publisher for their next game.
Any chance Control is a smaller project for Remedy, and they're actually already at work on a game published by Sony? Sort of like how Spider-Man was in development prior to R&C (smaller project) releasing.
They are making the single player for some MMO called Crossfire too. I think whatever they are working on with Sony is not very far along.
I do wonder how they view Control at Remedy in terms of project size.
Anyone know how long they worked on Control?
They are showing off a prototype for a new project to potential publishers, but they've also said they aren't in a hurry to sign with just anyone.
They currently have Crossfire X in development, Vanguard (multiplayer) and the above mentioned project.
There could be a secret fourth project, but I don't believe they are big enough to handle that many.
lol Kadokawa is one of Japan's more notable media conglomerates. Why would Sony spend around 2 billion on a Japan-centric media company that has a very small division dedicated to some game publishing? (it's worth about 1.9 billion)
Hmm, that is interesting. I assume the unannounced AAA project will be their big one for next gen.
Thanks for the info!
Let's entertain this for a bit - if Sony was interested in a Kadokawa acquisition, it's not solely for FROM Software, but to continue expanding their current IP/media focused investments across Sony Music/TV/Pictures/Aniplex/etc.
Content. Sony media isn't just games. I know Jack shit about Kadowaka though so I have no idea if they are worth acquiring in total.
The biggest lack of synergy between Sony and Kadokawa is that a lot of Kadokawa's business are in the publishing business. Books/magazines/etc, which Sony doesn't seem to have any real interest/stake in so far in the media landscape.
I think that is almost a consensus choice along with Housemarque.
Funny enough, I could see MS work with RaD for a next gen exclusive while Sony works with Remedy for a next gen exclusive.
I'm fine with that, all I want is for the study to have the budget and the freedom to work on whatever they want.
