I didn't say Bluepoint is a port studio. That was referring to Nixxes. Second part of my post is a different comment altogether how Sony Japan already leaked they bought Bluepoint. 2 different things.

Good decision, Sony needs more PC experience and this is a step in the right direction for them.

Oof that game was bad. Hopefully they can make something better on their own IP or a better IP to work with.

Hopefully this means better and faster PC ports. Another nice studio pickup.

While the most likely scenario is they were acquired to enhance PlayStations PC porting capabilities, Nixxes Software also has lots of console porting experience, so if those ridiculous rumour's of Sony acquiring Bluepoint are confirmed by large scale sightings of flying pigs then it might also be that Nixxes beside handling PC porting may also expand to become an inhouse version of Bluepoint especially if Bluepoint move toward creating their own IP.

The technical side of KZ SF was amazing and a precursor to checkerboard rendering (multiplayer rendering). Sound design and lighting were top notch. And that is the question, they are excellent at the technical stuff, but a game needs a lot more than that. I enjoyed KZ SF more for the technical side than the game play and tbh I can't remember the story at all. I do have a lot of screenshots from the game. They still look great today, pretty good for a launch game.

Studios can do more than one thing.

Well not something I was expecting. And don't seem similar to the other acquisitions that Sony had a long history with. At least it isn't some big studio, and yes seems like it will be more PC ports.

Well they helped the game getting out of the door, the design, story, etc can't be faulted on Nixxes.

If this isn't an indicator that PS games are coming to PC, I don't know what is. As an exclusive PC and Nintendo gamer, this has be excited!
