Forums - Sony - Rumor: Sony to acquire new 2nd party developer

ssj12 said:
this makes no sense. Sony doesnt need to buy a second party studio unless they want them to be 1st party.

Hmm, who might be kinda close to jumping ship and going multiplat?



Around the Network

Sony on a shopping spree?



Atlus or level 5 would be huge for the playstation brand



 

mM

If it's a JRPG developer/publisher I'll guess Atlus and Level 5



Atlus or Level 5 sounds about right.

so he says "it will be the biggest feather & an instant victory"

So....that rules out Level 5 & Atlus.....they aren't "that" good

S-E is ruled out

maybe a WRPG dev



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

But i think Sony is seeing that they have covered all other genre well this cycle except for RPG. so they might go out of their way to get a good RPG studio under their belt.. just to speed up things for PS3 and future consoles too



According to Wiki:

Japan

North America

Europe

 

These are SONY's Second Party devs....

the statement "The agreement has been reached. It will not effect "current" titles in development."" leads me to believe that the company has worked on and/or is most likely currently working on games for non-SONY platforms.

Also it's quite clear that the company has a history of making RPG's....

that leaves:

Level-5
From Software
Media.Vision

And to a minor extent  Game Republic



4 ≈ One

Level-5 isn't being brought by SONY, its impossible.....they are doing well on all platforms

Atlus is the ONLY one I can think of

hey what about MISTWALKER?

Guys GamesBlow.....the person who reported this is KNOWN to lie though!



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Isn't gamesblw the guy who made a post and then edited after the GoW3 trailer to make it look like he was right
