I want them to go hard on second parties and find the next Naughty Dog, the next Insomniac, the next Sucker Punch.
No point getting these tired IPs.

Everyone wants Sony to acquire this....

Without kojima metal gear isn’t really worth it and kojima has moved on from metal gear. Ps would have pay a premium which might not make it worth it. Konami gaming ip is alrdy being used for cross media stuff and brand for gambling machines and they are trying to revive their animation business based on their IPs. They’ve created a new animation division and a new triple A development team and another segment devoted to “ next generation” r&d tech. Precovid Sony had a chance of maybe getting Konami ip now it’s very unlikely. There business have become intertwined with their gaming branding even tho they weren’t using a lot of those ip. Buying ip just to remaster it’s really feasible when you have a lot of your own stuff that needs working on. A demon’s souls remaster would still take almost as long as a new game. Blue point current project is in its 4th yr. Buying the ip then paying for development of a new game would definitely not be worth because of how long it would take to recoup cost. If ps passed on 50+ square enix ip and 3 studios for just $300 mil they would definitely pass on Konami ip unless they were bargain bin prices.
Ember lab and arrowhead need to be brought into the fold. The fact that the former hasn’t announced a new game yet or ported the last one to other consoles is very interesting

Arrowhead for sure.
I'm not convinced about Ember Lab due to it deleting on two brothers that could leave at any time.
I'd go for something like Arc System Works or IOI or Shift Up...
Agreed. Konami doesnt know how to run them. Sony has the money. MGS sells good numbers. So does Momotaro Dentetsu in Japan.
Just buy all the konami IPs for video games. Let konami be able to use them for there puchinko stuff.
MGS and Silent Hill so Kojima can overlook them. Zoe too. Toyama on Silent Hill.
Castlevania would be great. 2D remakes and sequels. Plus the 3D games. They are not Bloodborne lol.
Bomberman (would also be easy on mobile/touch screen)
Suikoden because we always need more JRPGs
Momotaro Dentetsu is a good seller in Japan. Definitely needed if PS wants a portable and also for mobile

Arcsys would be nice, I would love it if they could get some of the embracer studios like coffee stain. Cheap studios that make single A games but with really good sense for game design and non greedy.
Both would be great. But Id Sony to get some bigger IPs and make the next Sucker Punch/ND etc.
They have enough money to do it all. Get smaller studios, get bigger ips and buy bigger studios
Im sure there are studios willing to make the next Silent Hill (Toyama) and the next 2D Castlevania(same guys who are working on
Shinobi/Streets of Rage 4).
Kojima doesnt need to work on MGS. Just overlook them. Remakes would be great too. They are amogst the bigger sellers on PS1/PS2.
Im sure he will want to work on ZOE 3.
Plus titles like Momotaro Dentetsu sell well in Japan, which Playstation needs more of. They need constant releases in Japan, not just once in a blue moon. Plus it doesnt require a big budget
IP isn’t as valuable as talent. Sony have a ton of IP and no one to work on them
I think it's too much focusing on the past. Konami IPs only mean things to older gamers. MGS, Silent Hill, Castlevania etc ... they mean absolutely nothing for Sony's, or Konami's, future IMO.
Horizon is more popular than all those IP put together.
Its far easier for sony to create new stuff, they just need people wiling to work
Understood but castlevania and metal gear solid are legendary ip
If managed properly could bring them into another lvl
The metal gear story has been told. There is nowhere else to really take that series. Same for Castlevania IMO. It’s better to have the games available to play as classic titles and move on.
Making brand new ip itself is not easy task
Many different story and settings has been explored and used hundred times over by now
