| kitler53 said: limitations: QD would only be able to develop on sony platforms. New Freedoms: much greater economic security allowing them to take bigger risks then they otherwise would be able to afford, open honest and free communication of techniques and code to really push the hardware to the fullest (i.e. ND, GG, Santa Monica, ect.), a parent that is very supportive in greenlighting, developing, and marketing the "arty", "adult", "quirky" type of games QD creates (ICO, SotC, echochrome, jorney, heavy rain, demon souls). Risks: a culture clash could go terribly wrong. |
But QD already has those freedoms. Sony will support them for as long as they want to develop exclusive games, look at what they did with Insomniac. Insomniac now has so much talent and pull in the industry that they want to branch out from making Sony exclusives, which is why they're in the EA Partners thingy now. And they're working on two fully fledged Sony exclusives at the same time, Insomniac are greater than ever right now.
