i thought sony already owned sucker punch? oh well.
Sony should buy sucker punch and quantic dream. Maybe even Sega since they make yakuza and valkyria chronicles already for sony.

actually Quantic,Sucker Punch, United Front, and Level-5 are all 2nd Party Devs.
|
Not exactly. Level-5 still does games outside of PlayStation and United Front & Quantic are 3rd party. Sucker Punch is the only one that could be considered "2nd party" and even then they technically aren't. Like Insomniac, they're independent.
|
isn't 2nd party a company with a contract to develop exclusive games? United Front, Quantic, Level-5, Insomniac, and Sucker Punch, all of them sign a contract with Sony to develop exclusive games... i think so :P
|
United Front are developing True Crime: Hong Kong, so they definitely don't apply. David Cage said he could go multiplatform with his next project if he wanted, so Quantic Dream are also 3rd party. Level-5 does other 3rd party games (Professor Layton on the DS for example) and Insomniac are now developing mutliplatform as well as PS3 exclusive. As I said, I think the only company that even be classified in that "term" is Sucker Punch.
In reality, the term: "2nd party" really doesn't exist. :P

I think 2nd party is more a term for games where the IP is owned by the console maker and the developer is third party than a term for developers themselves.
