Good move. Heavy Rain was a quality game that sold well.

I like how Cage didn't design his game by looking at what everybody else was doing. Its great that Sony's a big publisher, but they could deemphasize shooters a bit. Not that shooters shouldn't be a well covered category(its the most popular category at the moment), but roughly half their output are shooters, which is a little excessive.

The success of games like Demon's Souls, Heavy Rain, Infamous and Littlebigplanet show that there's a wider market out there, and I'd argue that some genres are underserved.

Didn't care about HR, so I wouldn't care if Sony buys QD or not.

Aw you should really try it, that game scared the hell out of me, i guess because i only played it at night with all lights off and headphones on highest volume :P. cant remember the times i jumbed from the chair playing it :P

[QUOTE="nightshade869"] from a business point of view its actually very smart, since the multiplats outshine exclusives this gen, but if they continue down this path while Sony keeps expanding their studios i can see microsoft hurting a lot next gen.

If true then good news for PS3 fans, bad news for non-PS3 owners.

Maybe somewhere down the road... there's game I'd prefer buying atm, so I'll probably leave it for a time when there's nothing coming out.

Also, I suck at QTE :P

David Cage and Sony are a match made in heaven, since they both have large hubris for no reason....

Can't wait for the next QD game, when they included exciting features like: Put a slice of bread in a toaster, butter and put jelly on it. Pour a glass of milk and have breakfast, belch for the amusement of co workers.

There's a lot of other great moments in the game. Something tells me you haven't played it.

They should also get Sucker Punch

eboyishere

Amen to that.

i thought they already were?

and i think sony is known well for taking care of there devs....i mean naughty dog has been with sony since crash on PS1

That's wrong, Sony bought Naughty Dog in 2001 after they were released from Universal (now Activision), I believe it was the same case with Insomniac but they went independent.That's why Spyro and Crash Bandicoot stayed with Universal (then Vivendi, and finally Activision:(), but then again, they did want to make new IP's since Spyro and Crash were too limited according to them.

As for this news, it's quite surprising but it's the safer choice I guess.:? Heavy Rain did sell very well.:) As for Sucker Punch, who knows. I highly doubt it at least for now but maybe something could happend one day.:)

... Speaking of Quantic, I need to buy Heavy Rain.:P I still haven't but if it's anything close to Indigo Prophecy minus the terrible voice acting I heard, shouldn't be too bad.:)

From the same site that claimed Everquest II was coming to PS3 and GTAV was to be set in Vice City and released in 2009. Either they make things up or have unreliable sources. Either way...

Broski tell me good news. Did you fail those tests you took the 1st of April or whenever you were supposed to take 'em? :P

Factor 5 can be seen being parallel to Silicon Knights. However Factor 5 actually closed down.:(

Sony constantly buys studios and keeps them open. Media Molecule and, if this ends up being true, Quantic Dream are their latest acquirements.

Microsoft barely buys studios, but when they do, they close them down or strip them of their creativity.

:lol:

Don't forget Evolution Studios.

Sony would secure a very unique game genre. Sounds great.
