PlayStation officially announces Bluepoint acquistion

[The Mad Titan]

Bluepoint have worked exclusively with Sony on so many games so this fits in with their “organic” statements.

Guess you feel like that about Bethesda too

"The transition from remasters to remakes was to test ourselves and push ourselves harder for the next step," Thrush said, noting the team was at about 15 people during the production of the original God of War collection, right now is at about 70 employees, and grew to 95 people at its peak during Demon's Souls (with outsourcing work, too).

PlayStation Officially Acquires Bluepoint Games, Next Game Planned to Be an Original, Not a Remake - IGN

Dope, organic acquisition that makes sense given the recent collaborations and them remaking classic PS games.

It's not like they outright purchased an entire parent company that had multiple studios that were already working with your competition on exclusives lol

Demons Souls remake has also sold 1.4m copies so far. Not bad.

Didn't Sony leak this a few months back?

It's not like they outright purchased an entire parent company with like 5-6 studios that were already working with your competition on exclusives lol

Yeah, like i said in the other thread, sony is playing smart. They are getting smaller talented studios and growing them into monsters. They have enough big 1st party teams to give them time to incubate.

Bluepoint went from 15 employees from the time they did gravity rush remaster to 90 after they were done with Demon’s Souls.

You’re just being stupid

Of course you feel like that

 

[Koba St]

Of course you feel like that

You’re trying to equate signing a small studio with less than 100 employees who’ve worked exclusively with Sony for years to a multi billion dollar multi platform publisher like Zenimax. How’s that not stupidity?

 

[Pull Up the Roots]

Consolidation of the industry.

Bad guy Sony just wants to buy all the studios.

What happened to building studios organically from the ground up?

Gaming is doomed

Lol whatever is convenient for the narrative at the time

Have you guys ever asked yourselves why nobody really cared when MS acquired Playground games or Undead Labs or Compulsion? And why people were vocal about them buying an entire publisher? I know being disingenuous is your defense mechanism, but come on, try to comprehend what people are actually saying for once.
