Everyone keeps predicting these Japanese publishers being bought and it keeps not happening.LMAO y’all mad.
Square Enix is next.

What is the big rush to acquire them? They're already making an exclusive for you. Why not let the game come out, see how it does, then decide at that point if you want to acquire them or not. If the game comes out and it's not good, this acquisition is going to look really stupid.
K byeYou just can’t help yourself can you. To ignore you go. Yes Sony who has literally put out consistently great polished single player games is expanding to multiplayer games which some if not most will be service games in some form or fashion.
Your thread concern is seen as you created another GT7 thread to let everyone know how bad the practices are even though the entire community including press have covered it to death.
Thanks for informing everyone how much of a James Bond villain Sony is.
Christ.
Lol, let MS first make sure they can manage their own studios. If there is 1 party that people trust with dealing with studios and what they manage to get out of them it is Sony with PlayStation.
Reminds me ofcome on thats a bad camera angle and bad lighting shotxD
who is this?Reminds me of
Aahh Jimbo you little pervert.looks different here
That's not necessarily a good thing anymore.Fuck yeah. New studio built from the ground up

Since… their last acquisition?
Is it me or is this pic one of the ruined buildings in a level in uncharted 4? Not the high tec building/observatory but the ruined one.Concept Art for their game
MS cant manage is studios lol, they are just buying time. But they are also buying IP’s that will keep them in the game and probably buy more.
My concern is Playstation not getting IP’s theyve had before, I dont really care what MS does as they aren’t really good at gaming altogether.
But that doesnt mean Playstation should make pointless decisions and let them buy IP’s. They need to counter properly, not Bungie and Jade lol
That's not necessarily a good thing anymore.
That's what The Initiative is. They've had over half of their employees quit over disagreements, have gone 4 years without putting out so much as a clip of gameplay for a game and have resorted to bringing in a third-party studio to take over and make their game for them.
Building new studios from the ground up is a very difficult thing to do. There's only so much talent and they all pretty much already have jobs currently.
Arguably she hasn't done anything ever.Someone explain the fascination with Jade Raymond to me. She hasn’t done anything in like 15 years lol
Hottest? ...... No lolThis.... is not From!
Edit: Hottest Studio exec, exclusive to PlayStation....
so this is a legit question, what has Raymond shipped since Splinter Cell (i think that was under her, right?) i find it silly that someone who has done so little keeps floating to the top (and I'm all for female creators, designers, etc)
Returnal is an example of what Sony assistance would do to your game.Returnal is not a live service game.

I think the idea is to lockdown people who will put out hits, mainly senior talent.
Remember what people who left initiative didn’t have other things lined up because they can name their price where ever they want right now. Industry is begging for senior talent.
Look at Bungie acquisition. Sony spent an added 1.2 billion to retain talent.
That's definitely not helping.
Well she knows how to make money that's for sure. Hasn't actually created a single game in her life but manages to build and sell a studio within a year.

Its more the industries perception of her, everyone she has worked with says she is exceptional.
Unfortunately she has been in situations where she couldn't even complete a game because of structural changes in the orgs she worked with (EA/Google).
At her other jobs she was only there for 2-3 years since leaving Ubisoft.
She's an exec. She's good at opening studios and getting venture capital funding.
I think that's about it. Maybe she'll help with recruitment in Canada
None. She was executive producer of first 2 AC games and SC:Blacklist.
That Jade Redmond woman must be REALLY good at social relationships. Otherwise I don't understand how she gets away with important industry places everytime, despite not doing anything worth more than a failure in all her recent years of career.
EDIT: Also, ORGANIC™
No. Sony bought Haven, not The Initiative.But everyone just left....and there was rumours Jade will up and leave soon....that's what I saw on here anyway. lol
Ah, but wasn't her stint as the head of Ubi Toronto a few years, then to Stadia which yielded nothing, and now this?She's been managerial for the past decade. Not creative
I honestly don't know. The fact that this is a service game being made makes me less than excited. Her name doesn't mean much to me but wishing for their success, I'm just kind of cautiously pessimistic about this project since its service based from an unproven team, and after the gt7 service debacle sony got alot to prove from a service front.Someone explain the fascination with Jade Raymond to me. She hasn’t done anything in like 15 years lol
This looks pretty cool. We'll see it in action by late 2023 I think.Concept Art for their game

Some of yall pretending she's not hotter than you? She can still get it. Shocked that she's 46.
I promise you everything you just said completely went over that guys head. Good post though.The organic thing is beaten to death, it sounds retarded bringing it up like its point considering so much has changed.
You expect Sony to stay ”organic” while MS buys publishers and IP’s they had nothing to do with creating? So Sony should carry on doing things like they done before because they said organic and thats what they are use to doing?
Clearly after MS started buyings IP’s and publishers, Sony no longer could do things how they mainly use to. Which was, work with or build a studio slowly, publish and create new ip together and then purchase them.
Just like Knack
Anyway, we know this is a live service based multiplayer game ala Rainbow Six Siege etc and its a small 60 person studio, so probably shouldn't expect the next Uncharted caliber game.
If its like destiny 2, it might be lit. As long as they don't ubisoft us though.Just like Knack

She never was working in creative position.She's been managerial for the past decade. Not creative
They bought them on the cheap, in the end its win win, sony gets another studio, the studio has a publisher with money that will back their creative ideasHard to tell if this is desperation or confidence in whatever it is they've been working on.

The one that led the creation of Assassin's Creed and Watch Dogs.
She never was working in creative position.
How is buying another studio organic? Neither are organic. Doesn't matter if they made games for MS or Sony systems. They didn't make those studios.The organic thing is beaten to death, it sounds retarded bringing it up like its point considering so much has changed.

You underestimate just how attractive I am. I have to carry around a jar of Nutella and a jar of smooth peanut putter to smear over my nob because I get propositioned for a blow job 5 or 6 times a day by women in the street.
I get it for Bungie. They are a proven studio. Haven has done nothing yet. Also, if senior talents leave Haven midway through this project, that should inform you on what shape the project is in. Let the game prove itself first. Sony will have plenty of time to retain these talents.
So you do not care about new IP's? Buying up publishers for their IP isn't going to guarantee you that those IP's will stay relevant in the future.
At this point, MS hasn't done shit so far....
Why...because of The Initiative....for real? It only shows that MS is not capable building up studios and manage them.
It was established last year. Not sure why you think it's only going to remain at 60.
This isn't the initiative lol
