Kojima Production



None of them seems to make any sense ...

The first option wants to stay independent last I heard. With the second option, you could get the most out of just a partnership for outsourcing purposes. The third option is already owned by a publisher. The fourth option was independently reformed so no way to tell how well their first project will turn out before recognizing if their staff is talented. Out of them all, the last option seems to be the most viable since the studio could have potential to produce the blockbusters Sony needs ...

If Sony wanted an acquisition then it should be a whole publisher like Bandai Namco, Capcom, or Square Enix ...



Just saw Platinum there after others mentioned it. Ugh, no. It's a company with a long history of failures and some terrible creative direction. They're a much better developer when they're working under supervision on someone else's project. Leave them in their current niche. Well, unless they could get rid of Kamiya first somehow.

I don't see them considering more than a couple of Japanese studios, anyway. The west is their focus and it's where the most potential exists.



Sony needs to invest in bringing Wipeout back. The Omega Collection was just a port of thier older games.



Insomniac and Kojima Productions would be cool, both have fantastic quality and love good details :)



Insomniac and Kohima should be at the top of their list of acquisition. I understand that Insomniac is happy with their independence, but they’ve managed to grow and exist on the grace of PlayStation and the support from the PS community. The fact that both Spider Man and R&C Remake are their two most successful titles should attest to the fact that they should stick with PS permanently.

This isn't new. We had last year an interview saying Sony was doing basically the same, and that they were looking at studios that would make sense to acquire and improve the portfolio.

Mr Puggsly: "Hehe, I said good profit. You said big profit. Frankly, not losing money is what I meant by good. Don't get hung up on semantics"

Azzanation: "PS5 wouldn't sold out at launch without scalpers."

I'd just with for internal studio growth and creation, rather than the easiest plan of !just acquire what our competition hasn't bought, or what makes the most cash". Besides, I'd hate to see a studio I like, being bought up, and then no longer producing for other platforms. I like the idea of having choice, rather than just one.



Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see

So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"

The better HouseMarque.

At the very least I hope they are making a Helldivers 2, but 3rd person and 4 player split-screen local.

Ya. I hope so too. Their next game will be coop 3rd person mp and i guess new info will be out soon.



Hunting Season is done...

So true @DialgaMarine

The Ghost of Tsushima/InFamous-Developers would be cool. FromSoftware for Bloodborne 2 and the next Dark Souls.
