Excellent news, this has made my day. Sony are making great decisions as of late. I love sucker punch.

Wow really? It's not as if you're gonna get any new exclusives you wouldn't have, actually this news has little to no impact on you unless they were planning to go multiplat, which I doubt after all thsi time.

OT: I thought they already were 1st party! But makes sense to buy if they wern't.


As a writer and admin of this site, I think it is shocking that you thought they were first party.

"It's not as if you're gonna get any new exclusives you wouldn't have"

The same could have been said for Insomniac but look what happened there. There was no indication at all that sucker punch was going to continue to make games exclusively for Sony.

OT: This is great news, another fantastic 1st part studio for Sony. They have an amazing list and it is ever expanding.

What the hell is my staff status got to do with knowing Sony 1st party studios? Really don't talk rubbish, it's nothing to do with my work.

There was no indication they wernt either.

The fact that if someone is a writer on a videogame website, you think he might actually know the goings on in the industry. There was no indication that they were 1st party either....ever.

No, it's irrelvent to my work, it has no impact on if I know that stuff at all. I don't need to know every Sony 1st/2nd party, you're just looking for a cheap way to attack me.

the fact they've made exclusives for Sony for near on 10 years? Yeah that stinks of not being 1st party, how foolish of me.

I think its good news because I imagine they might have a little more budget + help from other studios from now on.

Kudos to Sony and Sucker punch, finally after a long time.

now the next company to acquire is quantic dream


Quantic Dream needs to prove themselves first. Heavy Rain was excellent, but there is no indication that their next game will be just as good. Sucker Punch has proven that their games have consistent quality. Sly 1-3 were all good, and both Infamous titles sold well and are extremely good.



updated: 14.01.2012

playing right now: Xenoblade Chronicles

Hype-o-meter, from least to most hyped:  the Last Story, Twisted Metal, Mass Effect 3, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Playstation ViTA

bet with Mordred11 that Rage will look better on Xbox 360.

They jumped on Media Molecule after one game, though. Thought that was pretty wierd but then again, they're a really small studio.



4 ≈ One

I bet Sucker Punch showed Sony an idea for a new franchise. This could just be a formality I'd like to think it was more lol.

Media Molecule's first game was voted Game of The Year by various media, won numerous awards, and went on to sell over 4 million copies. For a tiny studio to hit such success so early, I don't think it was surprising Sony was eager to have them under their wing.
