I say neither of them, SONY needs mor Japanese developers under there belt.. they wrere used to Japanese developers flocking to them by default tey felt they had that covered even actually owning them. SONY needs to stop ignoring Japan and there western Otaku because they in the end, if SONY wishes to top 360 Japan will be the Key to SONY success.

So most agree on Media Molecule? Interesting.

well it was Media Molecule that first showed up at Sony's door to pitch Little big planet

the Idea was Inline for the direction of PLAY , CREATE, SHARE. if you notice many of the game's out now esp. new IP's share some common ground

with many older franchises. which is a good thing, there is some that set their game apart with unique twist's on certain theme's. and then there is Developer's like Media Molecule that also bring that certain level of fresh an new IDEA's that many find fun and fresh and dynamic. with game's like ModNation Racers also being released Its that kind of fresh new Ideas that keep the industry from being more static.

SONY could buy SE if they wanted + I would MUCH rather them buy ATLUS or NIPPON ICH, GUST, small time developers with lots of talent but little budget, SE has lost Soul in which made them great now the have a EA mindset.

I would love to see Sony buy Atlus!  not only would they keep the persona games from ever possibly going elswhere but they would steal a lot of RPGS from the DS and put them on PSP

I dont know which they would, but out of those, the one they should buy is Insomniac.

Where's the 'all of the above' option?



RPGJock on 05 February 2010

None. Most of those developers prefer to be a second party developers like Bungie. Having a secure platiform and publisher but the option to bail out of the deal if the publisher become "differcult" to work with is how most developers prefer how to operate. Just like the reason why Microsoft sold Bungie back to the owners, the developers core people would just leave the company and start another one. Its not the name but the people behind the name that counts.

Now if one of those developers run into financial trouble due to poor performance of their products, and then we can talk. If they have to face cutting their major work force/ shutting down or being bought out by a company then I see Sony buying someone. But until then...



I'm just saying...

I sure hope SONY doesn't have the same opinion as you if it ever came to buying S-E or Atuls, Nippon Ichio, Gust & so on.

Media Molecule from me too.

LBP is extremely successful, more so than Motorstorm & Resistance would have been if they weren't bundled, so Media Molecule would be the best bet!
