does it matter if they still build games for them when they ask? lol

If Sony isn't interested in preventing that move from taking place, either it doesn't prevent them from continuing to publish QD projects in the future - or Sony is fine with their budget that was previously allocated to QD projects be released to fund other games by other studios.
A publisher always more prospects and pitches than there are games they fund.

Can't say I'd miss Quantic Dream, personally not a fan of those kind of games. I was never a fan of the idea of Sony acquiring the studio either.
Supermassive?
Supermassive can still make some exclusive games (as they already said they're doing). Quantic Dream with Chinese investment, I doubt it.

I have enjoyed their games, Detroit in particular is fantastic, but overall yeah, losing them wouldn't hurt Sony at all.
They would just fund another big project instead.
Pretty much. Sony can live without QD. Supermassive already outdid them at their own game a few years ago anyway.
Also, that money could be better served being put toward a studio that isn't as glaringly problematic as QD.
I wouldn't shed a tear for Sony not having Quanitc Dream games as a pillar of their exclusive lineup going forward. There has to be more interesting stuff to fill that void in the future. I can't think of many studios they've had a relationship with that I'd less like them to buy.
But anyway, if that's true, they must be already signed the deal, since the meeting was back in October.
Agreed, I've been loving their games and I think Detroit's their best yet, and Beyond: Two Souls I think would have been better received if it had been more chronological. I'd love it if they'd make another game with Sony for PS5.

I can't wait to see what they will be able to do with PS5.
Ugh, how can all of you be ok with that plot hole story? There also some bullshit decisions, without logic scenes, forced situations and so more... its their best game gameplay wise, but heavy rain had better story and characters... detroit is a fine game, but one of the best of the generation? Cmon now...
Ps: i was writing up everytime i noticed some plot/story/characters/world logical hole... i gave up in the middle of the game.. as someone who review movies, this is something I am able to notice and not forgive... its just lazy screenwriting with little effort to be really, really great and not using cheap shortcuts (i think previous two games dont have so big problem with this).
I love quantic dream and pretty much liked all of their games. But i dont see a point in ignoring all of detroit's flaws (there are plenty imho).
The story's flaws couldn't overshadow how awesome the whole package was IMO
I enjoyed Detroit quite a bit and Quantic Dream's games add some nice diversity to Sony's line-up but I'd be lying if I said I'd miss them working exclusively on PlayStation.
Personally I think they'd be more suited to working on 2-3 medium sized and diverse projects at a time (sort of like DONTNOD) rather than one legit AAA game in a relatively niche genre.

Yup, same here.
They make good games, are a creative studio but if I have to choose, there are a lot of studios more interesting for Sony WW
I like Quantic Dream a lot; I hope Sony keep a close affiliation with them. Their games are a nice breath of fresh air, particularly in the AAA space where publishers are growing increasingly more obsessed with open worlds and skill trees and vast fields populated with trees. Man... fuck trees.
I like Quantic Dream, and Detroit is one of my favorite games of the year, but I'm alright with this news.
Yes please. I hope the next ND game is going sci-fi... or horrorSony should make a Cyberpunk like game heavily inspired by Blade Runner 2049.
I'd urge anyone who thinks Heavy Rain had better writing or characters than Detroit to go back and play Heavy Rain.
Oh man could you imagine ND making a game heavily inspired by Blade Runner ? Hnnnng
Space opera, cybperpunk and high fantasy settings need to happen within Sony first party

Me either but this is a Sony that recognizes PS as a pillar of the company, where expectations of WWS are higher, and where they absolutely want to continue PS4 momentum. I also think PD has a tighter leash on them to delivery a critical hit with the next iteration
I'd explode with excitement if ND is working on a sci-fi game in that style. As much as I enjoyed Uncharted and TLoU, it was really down to the game design and writing, rather than the setting.Sony should make a Cyberpunk like game heavily inspired by Blade Runner 2049.
It would be great to see Sony work again with FireSprite. WipEout could be a killer app for the next generation of PSVR.
Guerrilla is interested in their expertise, or something else? Could their rumoured FPS be a next-gen VR game?
Oh man, that would be great to see from them. I'd imagine it being a bit more linear or at least smaller in scope compared to Cyberpunk 2077 so that they can focus on their strengths as developers.
Wasn't there a GIF floating around years back which was associated with a possible sci-fi game Sony had planned or am I getting mixed up?
Awesome. Hope it gets a 2019 release date and some crazy gameplay footage
Huh! That's an interesting read, thanks for sharing! But sadly not, it was a brief gif that had some fighting in it and it was appreantly for a cancelled PS3/PS4 game that was shared on the old site for a little while but for the life of me I can't find it or what it was about.
As for Naughty Dog, I would like to see them try their hand at a more investigative type game, given their animation and writing skills I reckon they could do that well. Bit like Heavy Rain in tone and style but with ND's gameplay. That would be cool.
I'm expecting: blowout material.
A story trailer that is a lot more representative of combat, including boss fight snippets, gunplay, stealth, delivery and the underwater world of the "dead" mechanics. Crazy stuff that will drop jaws to the floor. Also one that is a lot more pieced together than the others, but still leaves the sci-fi and otherworldly intrigue firmly in place. More dialogue, more context, more characters including more on Mads' character. If they can find a way to combine a seamless trailer + gameplay presentation like Horizon did in 2015, that would be awesome.
I also expect it to be the longest trailer they show, yet. Definitely expecting them to announce it for 2019.

I understand it's only if people don't like games made by Sony but really come on all the exclusive games they this gen.
But they're not buying enough studios, neither have the most powerful console ™.
Dream is all we can do with Death Stranding right now, but I hope none of that is unreasonable.
I think it will be around the 9 minute mark based on the length of previous trailers:
Kojima should just say fuck it and drop a 22 minute trailer. He knows everyone would let him get away with it.
I want this rollout to be crazier than MGS5
And mainly, its not worth the wait... their games take too fucking much time to create (yeah i know about their engine thing)... is it because cage needs a lot time to write?
Sony could fund more interesting games instead... i wonder if QD had the same amount of money from other publishers as they have from sony.. i kind of doubt it.
Man, I'm still in awe that my Pro doesn't make a damn peep. Upgrading was definitely the correct option.

I played it like 2 years ago? Yeah, seems about right and yeah.. it had better story AND writing regarding plot holes ant stupid logical scenes..
Detroit was simply bigger, more ambitious and so on.. for me, it failed to deliver in these aspects...
And i have have finished it with totally anti climatic ending with bad pacing..
