| Azzanation said: Never really heard of them outside of the Returnal release. I believe i might of played one of their games, Think it was Nex Machinima or something along the lines. Seems they were already 90% PS anyway. More studios do equal more control so its a good for Sony, however the fans wont see a difference. |
They were essentially second party with Sony publishing their games, now they have full backing as a first party developer. There's a lot both parties can benefit on being that both can share tech from one another and HM geting more funds for upcoming project and games. They must have started talks of acquisition before/during the development of Returnal and I'm guessing this is part of the result. Bigger budget game from their usual output (they were more Indie/arcade dev) the next games will get bigger as they expand and join the PS team.
But yeah, quite exciting stuff. Wonder if they'll look into other in-house engines like Decima or stick to UE.
