2-3 billion. Jeez.
Yeah theres alot more cheaper studios to get
Is Fromsoftware the best purchase for Sony currently? If not, which developer takes the number 1 spot?
- Thread starter GoombaGalaxy
- Start date

Just try to avoid name-calling or anything like that, we don't want to ban anyone.
I don't do the banning.
Go get the studio whos having trouble
Option 1
Get Quantic Dream
Have a long history with sony. Plenty amazing game that i have played like fahtenheit, heavy rain, beyond two souls, detroit becomes human
Their upcoming project star wars eclipse are having development trouble
With sony financial back up they can make it
Option 2
Get Ready at Dawn
The Order 1886 is a game with mixed reception but has potential for sequel
Option 3
Get Konami
Sony has long outstanding history with Metal Gear Solid. The series has been dormant for awhile. With new partnership and sony funding we can revive the mgs game. Konami also has other ip like Castlevania.
Option 4
Built an entirely new studio. Start new.

All sounds good.
I think they will be building studios regardless but atm, they need to expand the studios they have or more importantly, buy studios, IPs and maybe even a publisher.
I think they should go big after Kadokawa again. Its wishful thinking but something like Square, Sega or Konami IPs. Sega is operating well and making profit. Square Im not sure but I think they are. Konami is the one without much studios if they go for them, but a handful of IPs
Then they should get some western studios like Ready at Dawn, Quantic etc
Definitely.
The Sony experiment of nurturing studios has failed of late.
After Kadokawa, Sony needs to get Square Enix.
Irrespective of what is happening I still believe they are the jewel in the crown for most Sony gamers.
Bluepoint and House Marque were classic PS style purchases in 2021. They should still go that route with studios like Arrowhead, Ember Labs, Slocap, Quantic Dreams, Ready at Dawn etc etc
But yeah they need moe than that.
Square would be great.
People worry about weird things. Square isnt losing money, they’ve released some great hits like FF7 Rebirth, Dragon Quest 3HD, Romancing Saga, Star Ocean and Mana this year. And Octopath 2 last year. All well received.
Yeah they have some duds like Foamstars and Forspoken, but they have plenty of great games and more potential.
Id be happy with Square or Sega-
Square brings the JRPP’s and MMO’s. Sega has a bit of everything including some JRPG’s like Persona, SMT, newer Yakuza, Shining Series, Phantasy Star etc
Sorry nurturing wasn’t the right term which Sony has had success with like Bluepoint and Housemarque.
I think Arrowhead needs to be acquired after the success of Helldivers 2.
Sony would have been better not acquiring Firewalk, Haven, Neon Kai and Firesprite and waited until they proved themselves.
That will get the so called “we don’t want Sony to have a monopoly on anime” crowd more triggered since anime is a huge business sector for Bandai Namco as well. Lol.
I see you mentioned Ready at Dawn several times. But this studio doesn't exist anymore. It was acquired by Meta and got shut down later.
Yep and Quantic Dream have been acquired by a Chinese company I believe.
Not that it made a difference. Didn’t the CEO of QD have a dispute with Sony?
Reason why they don’t make exclusives for Sony anymore.
