Well /v/, who should Sony acquire?
they seriously need more Japanese studios
Nintendo
> Le Crying Nintendo Falseflag (Mario Hat).jpeg
Anyone got it?
they only acquire studios that are likely to sell system sellers
they're hungry for the metal gear franchise
>>321635148
That's gonna be pretty hard when Nintendo is worth more than Sony last time I checked
Why is Sony buying something if they are in bankruptcy?
>>321634848
They just made a deal with Kojima Productions, probably will buy them up if the game turns out good
>>321634848
One that would actually make games for them.
>>321635315
You've never checked then as this has literally never been true. Even Sony at their lowest compared to Nintendo at their highest, Sony has twice as much equity.
Nintendo
Game Freak, please.
If Sony accquired Obsidian amazing things would happen
>>321635605
Obsidian is shit now
Steam. PC gaming's suffering, it just needs to be put down at this point.
Nintendo.
I'd be equally happy if Nintendo went third party though
>>321635429
Compare sony computer entertainment and not sony in general
>>321635889
>let's let the company who actually leaked full bank account numbers handle steam's minor fuckup
what could go wrong
>>321634848
Capcom, Konami, any dying company with good IPs
>>321637579
hnnng, tell me you have source
>>321635889
Gabe alone was worth 1.5 billion in 2010.
Wonder how much steam is worth now
Sony is worth 17 bil
Steam can't be bought as it has no stocks and is private
>>321634848
>buying studios for remasters
>>321635690
Stick of Truth was alright.
>>321636657
That's just stupid though.
>>321637124
Reminder that Steam also had people resetting the passwords of others and all you needed to know was the account name and nothing else earlier on this year.
But of course, that was forgotten and put under the rug too.
>>321635552
Yes please. They would be doing Nintendo a favor.
>>321634848
They're gonna buy Fromsoftware, them saying Dark Souls 3 is the last of the series just means Demon Souls 2 is going to br made instead
>>321638759
No, anon, Pokemon is what sells their handhelds, the only succesful consoles they make.
>>321638802
From was already bought
Sony would have already if they could
>>321638826
GameFreak doesn't own the franchise they just develop the main series.
And they do a horrible job at even that
>>321638906
That was not my point though.
>>321638961
What you think this franchise wouldn't survive without GameGreak?
>>321638561
why is it stupid? SCE is the video game division.
It would be like comparing microsoft to nintendo. Nintendo just makes games while microsoft's biggest money maker is windows.
SCE just deals with playstation. Shouldn't be including sony picture entertainment when comparing video game companiesunless you want to admit that sony only makes movies
Vanillaware seems like an easy pick up
They're always open to close studios down too though.
>>321638561
It's the same as comparing MS to the Xbox division, dumbass.
MS earns more money from spreadsheets and NSA spying than Sony will ever dream of.
>>321639426
literally who
Just let Sony get Monolith back so we can have a Xenoblade that doesn't look like dry mud
Atlus.
Maybe they'd ditch that shit localization dept and handle it like Sony releases then.
>>321639673
>Sony get Monolith back
that would imply they own them in the first place
>>321639673
Sony as a publisher is horse shit, they buy and kill studios at their will EA style.
They're only decent when funding projects. Those big corporations always fuck up devs.
>>321639803
I actually agree. If a company wants an exclusive game they can shell out the funds to make it, Studios shouldn't be able to be fucked over because paper pushers saw some kind of value in ditching them.
>>321639803
And Nintendo as a publisher isn't ?
They didn't even want to release XCX in the west people Nintentards here only want their Mario garbage.
>>321639801
JDIYSA
>>321635178
>>321639892
>They didn't even want to release XCX in the west people Nintentards here only want their Mario garbage.
It was announced for a worldwide release the moment it came out dumbass
>>321639964
You're clueless.
>>321639892
>>321639964
*the moment it was revealed, sorry, I'm tired
>>321639313
>SCE just deals with playstation. Shouldn't be including sony picture entertainment when comparing video game companies
Tell that to shitposters sighting poor phone sales as a reason that there wasn't going to be a ps4.
No publisher or developer is going to let themselves be acquired by Sony as long as the entire company is still in shitty credit nor does anyone want to be due to Sony's policy of shutting down the studio and keeping IP's
>>321639313
>Sony is only movies and games
This is even dumber.
>>321639803
That's bullshit, just look at a list of the studios they own. They've closed down very few studios, and like half of them are given carte blanche on everything.
I don't even particularly care about Sony, but compared to EA or Activision they're fucking saints.
>>321639378
I like that ideaToo bad it will never happen because they don't make mainstream games
>>321640449
>"Sony are good to devs! They didn't close down many and still produced garbage!"
This meme again. Fuck off, San Mateo
>>321638619
but that was a minor annoyance with no consequences but some people having to type their password again
>>321634848
So they can port it to the pc? No fuck you,it should PS4 only
>>321640554
Sony doesn't really care. They let some guys of Japan Studio do Tokyo Jungle.
>>321640628
>Minor annoyance
>People literally losing their accounts if someone knew their account name
This is some next level denial right here.
>>321640714
">They let Japan studio do Tokyo Jungle!
>Japan studio is now making sickdark souls sequels and were responsible for knack
This is some amazing delusion
>>321634848
They should acquire new leadership for their phone division so their sexy ass waterproof Android handsets with good audio won't disappear.
>>321640594
>Sony is literally the devil and is shit at EVERYTHING
That's an even worse meme.
>>321640320
Well those are the 2 bigger money makers.
The vaio division is almost dead and music is no better
>>321640884
Currently in development
>Tomorrow Children, a communism version of Minecraft with aliens or robots or some shit
>Last Guardian, a puzzle platformer
>Gravity Rush 2, a platformer/action game
>>321640810
anon, what the fuck are you saying? you couldn't access other people's accounts
stop spreading disinfo, you damn marketer
you could trigger a password reset, and it would send an email to the user's email with the link to set it again
you couldn't use it to access other people's accounts
>>321640884
You're literally proving his point, Sony is fine with whatever SCEJ makes as long as they make something.
>buys Zipper Int.
>makes them make nothing but shitty cod clones instead of real SOCOM
Fuck you sony
>>321641131
>Minecraft clone
>Delayed from PS3 game due to be as good as Duke Nukem Forever
>Weebshit that only should be bought at $5 on steam
>>321641270
>Weebshit that only should be bought at $5 on steam
Acquire some taste newfriend
Tester season 5 confirmed?
>>321641270
>Weebshit that only should be bought at $5 on steam
Literally never ever
>>321641270
>"It sucks because I hate it and it's not good" tier post
Go back to your exploited DRM you pessimistic PC lard.
>>321641239
>Fans ask for SOCOM
>"OY VEY! Why don't you goyim buy the new COD map pack we paid hundreds of millions for timed exclusivity for"
#4ThePayers™
>>321638443
>What is company law
>What is management buy in/buy outs
Sony really lacks Japanese studios,even though they're japanese themselves.
>>321641050
>Implying not camera stuff
>>321642346
Because most existing higher-budget Jap companies are already bought out or staunchly remain independent?
>>321640012
>le tinfoil hat Nintendo Treehouse theory
yeah source me on why im clueless, Xenoblade sold out when it released on US so making it available worldwide was the obvious choice
Let's be real here. The way they are currently acting they'd only buy popular studios. So maybe the new kojima one or from. They'd never buy tiny studios like falcom.
>>321640714
Japan studio is different, they can pitch any non profitable idea and sony will find it
>>321639892
>Nintendo killed off Cing
>you will never see anymore noire detective adventures with Kyle Hyde
It still hurts...
>>321634848
Sony should buy Level 5 and make a new Rogue Galaxy.
They don't really need to acquire anybody now because their 2nd and 3rd party relationships are so good
Take From Software, Insomniac, Housemarque, Quantic dreams and now Kojima Productions for example
>>321639426
>Incognito Entertainment
We'll never get another Warhawk, will we?
>>321639426
Big big was sent to die with little deviants. Such a shame when they made a better motorstorm than evolution could ever hope to make
>>321641751
>>321641239
MAG was great, the PSN of the PS3 was total dogshit. MAG should get relaunched on PC on that pre-patch that fucked game balance over entirely. When Zipper finally got back to SOCOM, that PSP team already ruined it with Confrontation.
Which to be honest I liked the beta/alpha or whatever. Xroads on the PS3 was nice seeing.
Hopefully they acquire a game studio next.
>>321645486
the only reason the game "sold out" is because it was a gamestop exclusive.
>>321634848
They need more japanese studios. Japan studio BARELY does anything and they operate more like Sony Santa Monica and always ended up helping other studios.
They need to start having some sort of relevancy in the Japanese industry and form their own big Japanese studios other than PD.
>>321646542
>Japan studio BARELY does anything
>they operate more like Sony Santa Monica and always ended up helping other studios.
????
>>321643527
Sony has always been just Vaio, Playstation, and movies. Anything else is just side stuff they don't give a shit about. Vaio was #1.
>>321645843
Pirates killed Cing
>>321634848
So sony shits have a fat fetish? It all makes sense.
