Imagine you are given the choice to pick a single studio / developer (not publisher) to add to PlayStation Studios.

Which studio would you pick, which genre of games do you want to see them add to in the first party lineup?

Let us know below and explain why...

Remedy Entertainment.
I feel like Remedy would be better with Xbox, but that's just me. Their action games seem to be more 3rd person hardcore action shooting tends to be more of an Xbox crowd thing. Also, wasn't Alan Wake like heavily marketed with the Xbox 360 in the past?

We are being serious here, pick some one decent ffs.

Honestly, if it wasn't a known scam and just mentioned after the first reveal, I would have said its a legit option.

Sony gave them their own 'space' just for a countdown on the PS5 dashboard. Even first party games don't have that.

Hassan hoodwinked everyone real fucking good.

Eh, I'm not really big on the monopolisation of the industry. Gun to my head, if I had to choose, I guess I would say Rocksteady (not that WB would let them go). Mainly because they were poised to become the next Naughty Dog, but so many major creative leads (not to mention Paul Dini) have exited since then that I'm concerned about their future. Especially when Arkham Knight was already a step down and Suicide Squad was going to be games-as-service at one point with a battle pass.

Hope Rocksteady doesn't go downhill.

For me I would say Atlus or Remedy. Atlus coz they make Persona and Jrpgs which is something Playstation dont have first party wise. Not to mention Personaa has been aassociated with Playstation since the beginning and has become as it is today thanks to Playstation. Remedy make story driven games which is something Playstation is known for, so I feel like they would fit in well with Playstation

Probably a dead one.

Silicon Knights or Psygnosis would be cool to revive. I'd like to see Sony do a Blood Omen remaster, without screwing with the lore too much.

Sony lacks a WRPG developer.

CD projekt RED would be a perfect fit but expensive.

Larian Studios would be a cheaper option.
