As part of their reshuffling and expansion procedures during 2018, Sony are reportedly in the market for obtaining a Japanese development studio to add to SIE Worldwide Studios tasked with developing titles more in line with “core gamers”, presumably thanks to the strong international performance of certain Japanese games last year and due to Nintendo being a considered a direct threat once more. Whether or not they’ll just operate directly under Sony like Polyphony Digital or be absorbed into Japan Studio is unknown at this point.
Holy fuck if they have from as a direct studio under them this place would be fucking hilarious for years on end.
Jayden Clark
They need to buy either Capcom or From Software, Sup Forums would die
Ryder Morgan
If they buy From PCbros would be btfo for 10,000 years
Brandon White
Doubtful that Kohima wants neo-KojiPro to be directly under a big company again, considering how pear-shaped his relationship with Konami went.
I doubt Kadokawa would want to sell considering From haven’t actually produced anything since they bought them.
Brandon Morris
NONONONONOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Jayden Barnes
Capcom Namco Tecmo From
??? I dunno
Carter Miller
I can see that but from and jp studio have employees that transition jobs between the studios. Their relationship is really tight knit.
John Phillips
Stream doesn't even own western IPs, what makes you think it would but Japanese ones?
Luis Fisher
Capcom
Robert Walker
If dubs it's from
Jeremiah Howard
>Sony buying KT
God, I’d hate to think what Cookie Monster would say on Facebook.
Aiden Evans
Is from, chinese cartoon forum from japan confirmed
Eat shit pc gaybros
Lincoln Perry
>Acquire Capcom >Deep Down gets funded >Dragon’s Dogma 2 gets funded >Lost Planet 4 gets funded pls sony
Ian Flores
but nothing user. I really doubt Kadokawa would sell From this soon.
Leo Harris
>presumably thanks to the strong international performance of certain Japanese games last year It's fucking Sega, isn't it? They're going to finally fuck Sega in the ass one last time so they can get a hold of Atlus.
Carson Cooper
Sega, they're not even trying to hide their Sony bias.
Jonathan Perry
>"Bloodborne doesn't exist!" >"Even if it existed, it wont be an exclusive!" >"I will eat a dead squirrel if it is true!" >"It will be shit!"
From made Sup Forums released enough salt for a new ocean. Bayo-tier.
Parker Sanchez
Realistically speaking, if it amounts to anything it’d probably be some C-tier studio like Shift or Acquire. I’m cynical that Sony would make some enormous high-profile buy on a whim just because a few Jap games did really well last year.
>Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony are all now finally trying again with first-party and second-party Holy fucking shit! What is going on?! Is this the 6th generation again? I'm having high hopes for the 9th generation.
Isaiah Parker
Sony is really plotting make some changes come after April when Kaz steps down. Making arranges for more first party, looking to acquire more studios, and so forth.
Kayden Fisher
No matter what they do, I'll never buy a PissStation console.
Brody Peterson
But some Japanese studios ported 8 year old ganes recently
Jaxon Richardson
>Implying Capcom is crap because of a lack of money
Lincoln Thompson
I think you're right. Acquire lost a bunch of money on akiba's beat and that was made for the sole purpose of funding akiba's trip 3. They could easily pick them up but I'm not sure if they're even on their radar. I'm betting on a smaller one that has worked with Japan Studio before. Maybe Dimps since they've worked on freedom wars.
Liam Rogers
Atlus
Alexander Reed
Did they deserve to die Sup Forums?
Adam Lewis
Perhaps. Maybe Platinum would see more success Sony than with Nintendo
Eli Robinson
Didn’t Acquire do the VR No Heroes Allowed! with Japan Studio?
John Bailey
Is Kaz, Sony's Iwata? He has made a great number of administrative blunders. Also
>Iwata died almost 3 years ago.
Luke Scott
I admire your dedication to being a casual
Isaiah Gray
sega owns atlus
Samuel Stewart
LITERALLY no source for OP bullshit and Sup Forumsedditors are replying to this shit thread
Anyway, Atlus or Falcom would be neat acquisitions
Jason Ortiz
Rerolling
Henry Rodriguez
it's actually very likely sony has been funding alot of capcom games I hope it happens the salt from sega fanboys would be delicious but I'm not sure they even have enough money to aquire sega
Charles Miller
Didn't liverpool make a racer for 20 years that never sold that well
Michael Lopez
>Don Mattrick gets fired Xbox gets better >Iwata dies Nintendo gets better >Kaz steps down PlayStation gets better
Is this a pattern?
Leo Lewis
>kotaku
Christian Sanchez
Development Studio not a publisher ya fucking twats sp stop saying Capcom as much as I want it.
Austin Jenkins
they're literally making an xbone exclusive though
Luis Martin
One game, SFV, and it underperformed
MHW had them fund the advertising, thats why its a multiplat and not exclusive
Jonathan Allen
Sega is owned by Sega Sammy Holdings
Gabriel Johnson
of course
Isaac Moore
Sega isn't even fucking trying to hide their obsession for Sony. Their Yakuza display booth had Sony and PlayStation written so many times they stopped looking like real words.
Adrian Barnes
How much is Sega worth anyway? No doubt the purchase would be worth it in the long run, as well as maybe dust off some of these old Sega titles and give them new life
Dominic Reyes
>ONE game >out of thousands of yakuza and miku games
Jaxon Moore
>Sup Forums thinks Sony has the money to buy out a huge 3rd party company
Cameron Young
Yes. The UK no longer makes good games.
Nathan Walker
this is sony we're talking about. they will fuck up reboots of those games.
James Murphy
Oh shit, you're right. That definitely could happen then.
Angel Phillips
Sega won't be bought out by Sony, considering their mascot only gets eaten up by the Nintendo userbase for whatever reason
Jaxon Scott
Don't worry, Famicom. Litty is footing the bill.
Justin Baker
why do all you retards think it's going to be some really huge, multiplat-developing company they're going to buy? i doubt any of them would accept a buyout
Evan Brown
>What people think From, Capcom, Platinum >What is will actually be Some small irrelevant studio
If you think Sony in it's current state can afford any of the big dogs, you are delusional, also From is owned by Kadokawa, so that's never happening
Lincoln Wood
Sony literally just confirmed today that they're investing on their first party studios, they aren't like EA or MS acquiring studios and killing them
>as well as maybe dust off some of these old Sega titles and give them new life Sony will not fucking do that. They have tons of IP corpses laying around they still won't touch >Ape Escape >Dark Cloud >Onimusha >Jak and Daxter The list goes on
Oliver Cruz
>Sony >Affording Atlus
Lmao
Jackson Roberts
sony is doing better than ever
Carson Morgan
Onimusha is Capcom. Are you thinking of Genji?
Jose Young
That has literally been the most successful film they've had in years
The movie branch is on life support at this point, kept alive by Emoji Movie and Jumanji
Andrew Barnes
Interesting Microsoft said the same thing a couple of months ago.
Robert Peterson
>Sony >Buying Kadokawa You'd best be shitposting
Angel Diaz
Those are collaborations. The wargaming one was Sega's Valkyria Chronicles tanks Edelweiss and Nameless for World of Tanks.
Dylan Hill
That doesn't come close to covering all the loses from the Sony studio's
Leo Wood
all the money they get just gets thrown into garbage like the emoji movie
Easton Long
>MS
lol
Xavier Bailey
shit i meant Genji, damn how the hell did i get those mixed up
David Turner
Yeah but Sonic also goes to Sony consoles and Sega gives Sony Yakuza and Project Diva. In fact Project Diva has been tramp stamped with the PS buttons, it's part of its identity for decades.
Leo Nelson
>Sony
lol
Matthew Butler
Nice source faggot
Adrian Bailey
Fair mistake, Yoshiki Okamoto created them both after all.
Joseph Martinez
Nice, I wanna see some more #Litty films.
Joseph Campbell
>Yeah but Sonic also goes to Sony consoles And it sells way more on Nintendo because autism is a running theme
read before you reply
Aaron Gutierrez
if you read it carefully you'll see that only MS is mentioned as "a huge partnership". We've yet to see that yet.
Julian Sullivan
Lmao, are you 14 years old? Sony was a titan in the 80's & 90's, Sony is a dying company these days, even in Japan they don't buy Sony products anymore, the Japs like Apple garbage these days
Owen Stewart
>dying company
LMAO
Lucas Lopez
outside of gaming he's right.
The gaming division just needs to be the entire company at this point
Benjamin White
doesn't matter they are making more money than in the 90s
Daniel Richardson
I don't know why people are saying Sega. Sega is just a skeleton crew right for everything but Yakuza and they are fucking up on that too.
Christian James
It's actually pretty amazing how Sony went from the company that was joked about to own the world, to being worth less than the people who made Warcraft.
Christopher Jones
the emoji movie made them tons of fucking money even with it's extremely low scores
Logan Cook
>sega gives sony yakuza, project diva, valkyria chronicles, project diva, initial d, and sonic >b-b-but sonic sells best on nintendo consoles
If Nintendo was so profitable for Sega, then why is Sonic their only franchise they release on their consoles?
Mason Hill
>What is inflation Sega is quite wealthy, though not because of vidya, either way Sony can't afford them these days
Ian Gonzalez
Sega also has Atlus which would greatly boost Sony's first party support.
Kayden Powell
>then why is Sonic their only franchise they release on their consoles You do realize Nintendo consoles have gotten games from like half your list right?
Kevin Diaz
I'm more interested in when Disney acquires Sony.
Samuel Gutierrez
>Horizon sells 7.6 million units >Detroit got a release date >Best month of PS+ ever >Sony investing more into first party
What a week
Ryder Davis
So you faggots don't actually care about Sega, but Atlus
Adam Nelson
Sony is worth more than Activision Blizzard currently, albeit not a lot more.
Jose Brown
Sonic & VC are multi plat, Yakuza has also been on Wii U
