Funny thing is and I won’t quote anyone in particular I already posted this same thing a few days ago when I first heard about it. Now it’s just official. Thanks Phil. Also you’re absolutely right if an entire studio had been purchased you would have heard about it by now.
So they bought a part of techland ?
 
What is this blasphemy? A sane poster?!

Some part of Sega? Creative Assembly?
Or some part of Konami?

Could be but i doubt Sega would sell CA considering that they've been doing a good job.

Konami... errr... Unless it's like i said and it comes with the IP's, what studio would be considered a good aquisition taking into account that Konami hasn't release anything worthwhile since... MGS5?

I’m going to guess Sony has got either remedy or housesquare, or whatever their name is.

Housemarque. Could be but if so, i guess Sony gave them some money to develop something new because that battle royale they were doing isn't going to cut.

So they bought exclusivity of a single game? *cringe*
I hope it's not a Tomb Raider deal again.

As i said before:
SSD and GPU (RayTracing included) wise PS5 is stronger by a deterministic margin (~10%)
But SeX has a slight edge in CPU.
Do you have any idea why Microsoft chose for a non-conventional console design if it's actually not more powerful? I'm making the assumption that Sony will have a normal console design, and if they are able to make it work, why wasn't Microsoft even though the PS5 is more powerful.

It seems Microsoft has gotten yet another high profilen studio and mean while... What the actual fuck are Sony doing? If the silence from Sony are because they have nothing amazing to counter... Then fire Jim Ryan.
Ffs, less advance hardware (roumor), same price as MS (roumor), less exclusive(so far) , less third party deals(so far), soon less studios, less everything as of right now... February event better deliver..

He was fast enough to force out cool people that were liked but every move he has made since has been a frustration to the community, a string of exclusives going to PC.... ambiguous talk about what could go to PC and what will not.
He is full of bullshit flowery business talk and what we need are straight answers.
I thought he would actually aggressively pursue acquisitions but he seems to content to ride the wave of what others have built before him till it dies.

I mean, you said it yourself multiple times, rumor. At least wait for something to become official before stressing out about it...

Dying Light 2 is in dev trouble so maybe they now with MS it gets a real release date.
Dead Island is alright too.

Let's see how the situation of Dying Light 2 will be too because Square is the Publisher and it is announced to all platforms.

I think you'll see a fair bit of that early generation unfortunately - or at least getting a next-gen exclusivity period (so coming to X1/PS4 but only one of XSX/PS5 for a year). With smaller user bases these deals are cheaper early on. I don't mind platform holders funding development of games which wouldn't get made otherwise, or helping good devs out of financial difficulties. I don't like buying of exclusivity periods where games were coming to both (TitanFall/Tomb Raider), or exclusivity with modes/content (CoD). I think exclusivity periods are more harmful to the brand longer term - and both Sony and MS have been guilty of it.

I’ve said the same before too, I see MS edging them out in power in most fronts except for SSD speed. I can’t see them doing anything less, not after last gen, and not with how good the X was.

Now let's look at sony:

Guerilla games - known to have recently expanded and to have 2 teams. Definitely working on horizon 2 and rumoured to be working on new killzone. Release unknown

Naughty dog - has 2 teams working on TLOU2 for 2020. second team unknown what they are doing.

Polyphony digital - GT sport it's an interesting one as all the assets were developed to level far higher than the ps4 could use so probably new GT title in early 2021.

Insomniac - last title spiderman next title unknown probably releasing in 2021

Sony Santa Monica- last title GoW next title rumoured to be a space game release unknown

London studio - ??

Japan studio - ??

Sucker punch - ghost 2020

Manchester studio - ??

Media molecule - dreams 2020

XDEV - ??

Sony bend - last title days gone 2019 next title unknown

San Diego studio - MLB

Pixel opus - last title concrete genie next title unknown

San Mateo studio - ??

Unknown new studio based in San Diego - rumoured to be taking the uncharted mantle

If I missed any someone do mention it, worth noting there is bluepoint(not first party but highly speculated that sony is acquiring them) unknown ps5 exclusive

Lol smh I'm glad most of you aren't the head of gaming divisions. Yeah Sony has nothing to show. Even without Insomniac acquisition and paid third party exclusives what Microsoft has bought lately and brought to the table pales in comparison to what Sony has and will offer first party wise. Microsoft has been trying to play catchup.

These statements are so hyperbolic its amazing. Only thing Sony has to do is create other teams for VR specific games so it doesn't hog up resources from the A teams. Thy had a good output this gen but thy had there focus on PSVR too so it could have been even better.

that power crown came at a cost of being a year later and 100$ more expensive though. so if they both same year at same price, what is the guarantee?

They used up to date tech, and at a much higher level, which lead to a more expensive product.

this time( both companies will be using off the shelf current tech in the exact same ball park, the only outlier is the SSD, which we still have no idea on. But Sony are making waves talking about theirs.

so price wise I imagine them both being on par, but price wise I see x having the advantage (except SSD)

but none of it will really matter in the long run.
