This is what pisses me off. I normally don't get pissed off on here.

I am against sony buying anyone for this reason.
I've never liked a zipper game either.

A lot of you are like "buy this company, buy this company" when the company is doing good.
Then When the company has some problems you guys are like lets get rid of them. Instead of helping them. Which should be their job because ultimately sony is Zippers parent company.

Everyone yells at microsoft for this kind of thing. Look at ensemble look at rare.

These types of things is what mostly separated Sony from Microsoft in my mind. Is they maintained their 1st party studios.

But one thing I hate sony for is what did to studio liverpool (my favorite 1st party sony studio) even though they released games around a 90 meta... Now they dont exist. Or atbest they're merged with the company that makes motorstorm. Yes a new wipeout is coming out and I'm excited.

If sony's not willing to help it's first parties be successful, they should not buy them. Other wise they're like cisco buying flip. And then shutting them down because they're not "profitable enough". Yes this is reality. But I tend to avoid purchasing product from companies that do this type of crap.

Well then you don't have much to worry about, as Sony takes great care of their 1st party studios. Zipper's recent shortcomings (if we ebven want to call MAG that) do little to display otherwise.


yes I assume so. The worst thing I've seen sony do relating to this was disolve studio liverpool and redistribute them.... but that's not really that bad.

Just, the idea of the topic put me off.

SOCOM was always crap, the only good thing it had going for it was the online when 99.9% of games released didn't. Now every game has some online element almost. SOCOM lost its main POI.

SOCOM was not always crap.  If Zipper was able to competently remake SOCOM 2 with better graphics and some enhancements it would be one of the greatest online games in existence.  SOCOM has a very dedicated community and has for a long time.  The tactical play has never been matched on consoles to this day imo.  It might not appeal to millions upon millions like COD, but the game Zipper constructed back in the day was fantastic.  They may have strayed a bit too much from the formula this time, we'll see.
