There's nothing saying their games can't come to pc. Sony has opened that door up already.Sucks for PC gamers, Nex Machina was great, but I assumed this would happen. Probably the best purchase for Playstation after Insomniac.
It's a valid concern. The early PS4 and Vita days were full of first party closures. But how many were due to poor sales because of Sony's poor management at the time by:Your concern has been noted.
TIndeed. While this is not the most surprising acquisition out there, it makes sense for both Sony and Housemarque. I'm eagerly waiting what the studio will be able to come up with a larger budget.
And on a nationalistic note, that will probably be completely lost for non-Finns - TORILLE!!!
SE and capcom are two companies that definitely won't be purchased from Sony or Microsoft.ok, arc system next, then SE and capcom
By far the best game I’ll play this year.All of us who have Returnal as our GOTY and love all of Housemarque's previous work rejoice!!!
It's a valid concern. The early PS4 and Vita days were full of first party closures. But how many were due to poor sales because of Sony's poor management at the time by:
- The 21 day PS3 network outage
- Delaying games into irrelevance after natural disasters
- Forcing them to work on games for struggling hardware
It is a genuine concern. Sony and EA are masters in killing studios. If I am not mistaken, Sonic closed 7 studios and EA 9.
I don't think it would be good for Arcsystems now considering the success of Strive, i would have the complete opposite opinion before strive but now they seem to be doing pretty good and Daisuke has the freedom to do almost whatever the fuck he wants with team red.ok, arc system next, then SE and capcom
Yeah, I figured I didn't need to post that picture, someone else would

I don't think Remedy are for sale though. And that's a good thing.Aquisation in Finland. If they are putting resources in a studio in Finlanday as well have another, the only other notable left in Finland is Remedy.
It's a good addition to PS Studios but on the other hand the news is not that exciting since Housemarque had been a PS dev for an incredibly long time. It's not like PC and Xbox fans are furious now because they'll miss out on so many future Housemarque games they were itching to play. Those PC and Xbox fans never expected those games in the first place. This is a non event.

Who cares about those smelly Xbox fans. Bringing in talent, giving them the appropriate level of funding and support is like nurturing a seed that can grow into an oak.It's a good addition to PS Studios but on the other hand the news is not that exciting since Housemarque had been a PS dev for an incredibly long time.

I can't forgive how Sony forced Evolution Studios to delay and change some aspects of MotorStorm Apocalypse due to the 2011 Japan Earthquake and Tsunami. I know it is a delicate subject and my feeling goes to all those that lost their belongings and family in the incident. However, games and reality are two separate things. I know it is more of a PR stunt, but still, it's silly.
- Delaying games into irrelevance after natural disasters
Are saying they should only be happy if it was a multiplatform studio and games were going to be canceled on xbox as a result?Are PlayStation fans really happy about this? dont they pretty much only make PS games anyways?
Marrying their talent for making addicting gameplay to AAA funding should be a dream situation. AKA, a 'Big Event'.It's a good addition to PS Studios but on the other hand the news is not that exciting since Housemarque had been a PS dev for an incredibly long time.

This sort of stuff always happened.Consolidation of the game industry is coming. Brace yourself gamers.
It’s an ethical acquisition. Unlike some other acquisitions.
No, it just didn't seem like anything really changed at all, but i guess they will receive more funding so that's something to be happy about, if you like their games.Are saying they should only be happy if it was a multiplatform studio and games were going to be canceled on xbox as a result?
hopefully...so hopefully they won't be forced into story-driven cinematic experience genre but remain their creative freedom intact.
tbh, Microsoft is looking for more acquisition, I guess Sony had to start looking for more studios as well."Throwing money won’t lead to success" - Jim Ryan, 2021
Good acquisition for Sony, as Housemarque said themselves, they make gameplay-centric games, something Sony's lineup is seriously lacking (and shooters too), so hopefully they won't be forced into story-driven cinematic experience genre but remain their creative freedom intact.
That's the point, the studio gets more financial support and works on larger scope games for PS5 and PC.No, it just didn't seem like anything really changed at all, but i guess they will receive more funding so that's something to be happy about, if you like their games.
Sony buy companies that are pretty much already in the PlayStation family , Microsoft buy companies known for being multi-platform
Yeah, I was just under the impression that they were already being funded by Sony, Returnal looked like a much bigger project than anything they've worked on before.That's the point, the studio gets more financial support and works on larger scope games for PS5 and PC.
Xbox gamers are not affected by this either way.
Yup, it's so crap that it's been number one in steamand after all those years the first non kinect game is Sea of Thieves crap
Isn't that what all adquisitions are about?Bringing in talent, giving them the appropriate level of funding and support is like nurturing a seed that can grow into an oak.
They also changed MGS2 due to 9/11.I can't forgive how Sony forced Evolution Studios to delay and change some aspects of MotorStorm Apocalypse due to the 2011 Japan Earthquake and Tsunami.
