Yeah I mean the one real big hit they had was a licensed superhero game. Any time you can snag a studio with talent it’s a big deal, but nothing changes much for gamers because they were already a de facto standard PS exclusive company. At least now people can stop worrying about a Sunset 2 that wasn’t coming anyway.

I don’t see Control lighting up sales charts, wouldn’t be surprised to see them snatch up Remedy either. They fit the design of Sony games nowadays.

The rumors are pointing towards them buying up Remedy, and a couple of other studios. I think in the coming months they'll announce a couple more buy outs. 

I really hope so. I’ve felt for years that Remedy, if guided some by a company like Sony, could go from a good developer to a stellar one. Their creativity and imagination is awesome, but they just have some weaknesses. Still to this day I have a strong urge to play Quantum Break, but then I think about having to watch through the TV stuff and it discourages me. :( I’m super hyped for Control tho!

On the same topic, I truly believe Insomniac will go from a good to a top notch studio under Sony. There is a strong pattern—esp in this ps4 gen—of Sony’s good studios transitioning to the next level of quality (e.g. GG, SSM, and I predict Sucker Punch will be next to prove this). Insomniac has been fairly stagnant in their quality for a long time imo, but I think that even by the release of Spider-Man 2, we’ll see a definitive, blatant difference. In 5-10y? I think they’ll be on the current level of SSM or ND.
