What was the point of acquiring Insomniac?

95% of their games are PS exclusive and the other 5% are garbage nobody cares/buys. Complete waste of money.

A formality.

They wanted to get ahead of Microsoft.

I actually liked Sunset Overdrive, this is a shame.

>Sunset Overdrive sequel is gunna be playstation exclusive
>it's gunna be censored to hell and back
RIP

Sony only censors weebshit that should never exist in the first place.

>Insomniac owned the rights to Sunset Overdrive
>Microsoft didn't want to make a follow up
>Sony acquires Insomniac and now owns the IP
Well you can't call them anti-consumer now since they're the only hope for a sequel, kind of like what Nintendo did with Bayonetta 2.

They did this so that Microsoft, Epic or Stadia wouldn't acquire them first.

>Microsoft owns the publishing rights of the first game
>Sony bundles the first game with all the DLC, gives it a new name like Sunset Maximum Overdrive, makes a few changes here and there to justify it being a "different" game
>Sells over a million copies on PS4, more than what it sold xbox one+pc
oh please sony do it, xbox tears will never stop being delicious

shit, meant for

Who owns the IP? Is it MS or insomniac themself?

FUCKING STOP!!!
I don't even want to imagine the last 2 and jump time-lines or some shit!

Insomniac, and now Sony.
Insomniac teamed up with microsoft because Sony didn't allow them to keep the IP and microsoft was so desperate for games they let insomniac keep it in exchange for publishing rights of the first game.
Now the IP is in hands of sony, oh the irony

How does this shit even work, if sony told them to make a "GOTY" version of it, could they release that on PS4?

Sony owns the Ip but they don't own the publishing rights which are still with Microsoft
Same situation as Demon's Souls where Sony owns the IP but gave the publishing rights to Atlus in NA and Bandai Namco in the EU
Which is why Sony can't do anything with Demon's Souls, they can't rerelease it or put it on PSNow or whatever

I thought sony had the publishing rights to nioh and that ended later on PC as complete edition or some shit.

Sony literally owns CTR and has the publishing rights for the PSX Crash games and that didn't stop Activision from remaking those games. If they really want, they can do something about it and put SO on the PS4.

They have publishing rights of Nioh for PS4 in EU IIRC
When you boot the game up it shows the "Sony Interactive Entertainment presents"

they are a mediocre studio. sony aquiring them checks out

Insomniac own the rights to sunset, they can still make a sequel

>a Sony made Sunset Overdrive
No thanks, you'd be forced to wear burqa

Reminder that the director of Sunset Overdrive left Insomniac and joined MS new AAA studio Initiative

Back when I used XBONE I got Sunset for fucking free off Live, it’s an insult that this game didn’t get the traction it deserved.

>muh censorship
fuck off idiot

xcope

Zombifying long dead, once beloved IPs and banking on nothing but brand recognition is the lifeblood of the modern gaming industry (and media in general) . Publishers will trip over themselves to acquire franchises on the off-chance that one of them can be resurrected in the same way Fallout was.

didnt know SO is 4k on xbox

>Sony only censors weebshit
Imagine believing this.

It seems like the publishing rights are only for physical copies sold. Since nioh is only sold through steam on pc it is fine. Which is also why people asked koei to release the game on xbox digital only.

>Sells over a million copies on PS4
hehehe
this delusion

Ted Price's golden parachute.
Watch the dev commentary of old R&C playthroughs on Youtube. The guy is a control freak, and thinks he's the reason all their games are successful. He started facing so much backlash for it, the employees began leaving/rebelling. He's done his time and wants out, most likely.
Once that happens, he'll be replaced by a suit from Sony. My guess is Corey Barlog will get made VP or Games and start influencing other studios.

the only thing i see them censoring are porn vn and a buttcrack they uncensored

Whatever you say, Xfag.

Publicity

Xcucks really are seething this morning
>Shittersoft paid Ninja $50 million to stream on Mixer
Hahahahahahaa

Shitset Slowverdrive wasn't getting a sequel before and it sure as fuck isn't now.

Only worthwhile post in this thread. Why is everything else about fucking Sunset Overdrive? Makes me feel like an oldfag

>sonyseethers before
>"lol game looks like shit"

>sonyseethers now
>"holy shit xfags btfo, we finally won bros"

I'm getting flashbacks to when snoy announced paid online.

But user xfags got btfo when it released on steam

Keep seething delusional Snoyboy.

nice mad idiot

Microsoft has been buying up studios, it was only a matter of time before they started sniffing around Insomniac so Sony snatched them up.

Bit of boner though by Insomniac, they should have flirted with both of them to drive up the buying price.

lmao, that series is cancelled and you will never see Kat ever again.
enjoy prancing and dancing trannies.

Remember that guys wife getting mad at this game for this?

funny shit

Insomniac, Remedy, Kojima and Bluepoint. Damn sony is on fire

That will be great when Disney purchases Sony

so there's no reason to not have a demon souls remaster?

>Sony
>Letting a dev make something that isn't a over the shoulder movie
Not happening. Insomniac is going to continue pumping out Capeshit and Sterilized R&C games.

Most of the devs behind SO left Insomniac dude.

This, they will just turn into Naughty Dog Jr and discard their classic franchises now.

Google was eyeing them

fuck knows but it was a waste of money. they should have spent that money on a good multiplat studio instead. securing a company who already makes exclusives for you for the 800m or around that rumored value is pants on head retarded

>800m
sauce on that?

Yeah, the director ended up being persona non grata so he fucked off to MS lmao.

I don't think so. But why would you want a remaster that is worse than the original and doesn't include cut content as with sotc.

Sony always wins

how is this winning?

So they can only make mature games to fill out sonys portfolio just like naughty dog right?
I swear to god if sony ruins this I'm so fucking done
