Makes sense and not a surprise at all, if confirmed

Another win for Sony, and another blow to the competition.

EDIT: If true.

I don't hope it's true, Quantic Dream needs to be a free studio, although Sony are definitely a great place for them to be. If they must be purchased, Sony is the right one to do so, but it's not ideal.

YES, please. I think it is alright.

With Sony, they are free, which is one of the main reasons devs like working with them so much. I think for the kind of company Sony is and the types of games Quantic produces, the acquisition would be quite ideal.

They're not free, they're locked to Sony, and no matter how much freedom they have within Sony, they are still forever locked to them. What if they want to create something new and exciting for another platform next generation?

Good move by Sony, after Insomniac, they should probably sure up some of their relations with studios.

As with many of these things, it probably makes more financial sense for them to be part of one company

Is MS still buying up EA? 



Sig thanks to Saber! :D

The right studio in the right place ... if true , QD can never get a better supporter

 

Now Sony... go get some studios to make RPGs I can't understand why there aren't first party RPG franchises for Sony.

Uhm, what? Insomniac are creating both a new Ratchet & Clank game and a new Resistance, while creating a multiplatform title. What exactly is wrong here?

Quantic Dream should be like Insomniac in this regard. Their freedom means they're free to use whatever tools and platforms they wish to try and further the cause of better, immersive storytelling in videogames, and being bought by Sony is limits what they can do.
