I hope not. What would this studio bring to Sony that they dont already have?

Hopefully not, seems like a waste of $.

But... Crytek Frankfurt's last good game was in 2007. Crytek Budapest, Black Sea, USA and Kiev are unproven and risky. Crytek UK are making a game that looks extremely similar to Killzone Shadow Fall.

This sounds like just a bad money sink. Hope there's no truth to this rumor. Some saved jobs are the only good that can come out of it.

I don't believe it and I don't think it would be a good idea for them to buy Crytek, but seriously how funny would it be if Sony bought a big third party developer after all the cries for Nintendo to buy this and that?

If SONY should buy somebody FROM SOFTWARE or Aquire would be good choices.

i'd say crytek is much more valuable for microsoft than for sony:
- crytek's focus on ego shooter + ryse
- crytek's military simulation deals... i am pretty sure the us won't like to see these done by a non american company
- far crysis is big on the pc - clearly ms territory
- cryengine is a good engine, but it seems to be expensive (?) but microsoft could benefit so much from cryengine maybe exclucive, but surely optimized for xbox one (they could even offer a free version for id@box)

let it crash and then feast on the remains

As long as its not Capcom, then more power to Sony.

Yup.

What if Nintendo buys Crytek?


*crickets*

Yep, Crytek has technology(not their IP's) which is the one Sony might be interested in for their platfoms like VR, PS now, Sony Online and PS4 so they can get some good graphics push with the Sony people who make good games using crytek technology as a long term future goal.
