Forums - Sony Discussion - Rumor: Sony to actually buy Epic Games and possibly Deep silver.

CommonNinja on 05 July 2014

This rumor is a load of rubish!

Sony already have 16 studios in thier firstparty stable.  They have no reason to buy Epic or Deep Silver.

Also, if they really wanted a new studio so bad, they could easily just open one thierselves rather than spend a wad of cash to buy out an already exzisting one.

Besides, its not like Sony is in a position to be making big aquizitions anyways.  The PS4 may be doing well, but as a whole, Sony is bleeding money.

I know Gears judgement was super forgettable but if your insider is to be credible he should know about these things. I believe epic also released another installment in their hack and slash mobile game since Gears 3.

Actually they had. It's Gears Of War Judgment.

On the other hand, Sony is recovering with PS4's success but it's not yet capable of throwing huge amounts of money to acquire AAA developers. Partnering with indies or building up from the ground is much cheaper.

More believable rumor: Microsoft to buy God Of War IP from Sony and develop an X1 exclusive God Of War X Gears Of War.


I heard about that game. The whole tournament will be fought for something quite special, to win the the abrevations rights of GOW. The loser will have to carry an embarrassing lower case letter *smerk*. GeOW/GoOW

No, it would be a tale of Marcus Fenix and Kratos teaming up to take down there foes, Master Chief and Nathan Drake respectively, for being treated as second-class mascots for Xbox and PS.

It will be followed by Sony sueing MS for including Drake in the game and making off with a billion dollars, and thus post a profit to pleasantly surprise investors! ;)

You are doing a real service to the gaming community, is there somewhere I can paypal you a donation for fighting the good fight?



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.
