I might be the only one that doesn’t want them to buy Square Enix…. They have the IP’s, but Forspoken shows how they can’t guarantee to deliver…
Buy somebody on their way up, not someone stagnating or declining.
Unlikely…
Your opinion isn’t universal.
LoU is a filet mignon, small and easy to chew.
LoU2 is a T-bone steak: larger, tougher to chew, but enjoyed by many steak enthusiasts who don’t mind chewing and cutting more.
Compare the first LoU2 gameplay trailer to the delivered graphics, and the room for improvement is obvious.
Keep in mind, the remakes were headed by new leads, and ND has been anticipating their president leaving a year now; now that Evan Wells has retired, a cascade of planned promotions were enacted.
I want a new game from them too, but at the end of the day they need to make sure they foster new talent with safer projects like remasters. Other studios fail to plan to foster growth and promote from within, and those studios dry out their talent eventually.
F...
The studio behind Destruction Allstars, and got pulled off of the Twisted Metal reboot?
I wonder how Tencent will impact them.

Including all of those, and they still sit at 21…. So I guess Xbox and Sony were even closer in studio possession a few years ago.
Sony studios owned 2 years ago: 18
Studios owned now after recent acquisitions: 21
Xbox studios owned 2 years ago: 15
Studios owned after Zenimax: 23
Studios owned after ABK: 32
Yah, Xbox totally deserved to be allowed to fail their way up… 15 and 23 studios could NEVER keep up with Sony’s 18 and 21 studios.

Digital versions?
Max Payne 3 is so great… it needs to be ported.
Last boss fight sucked…. That’s very uncharacteristic of GoW.
GoW has always been a puzzle-focused game.

Lower your expectations after the opening boss ;)
I enjoy Sony’s focus on third-person action games, but I understand why some would prefer a broader focus.
I think Sony wants to be the maker of cinematic games, which I support until they start to turn all of their games into TV shows… idk how Twisted Metal will recreate the game on a tv show budget, and I cringe to think that the GoW show will skip Greek monster Kratos and go straight to the contrasting older Norse Kratos….. the father/son dynamic in the Norse era is much...
0% wins sounds awful when you don’t acknowledge the sample size of “4”.
Great acting, great graphics, fun combat, cool new enemies….
But, aside from the opening, the set pieces lacked ambition.
The ending felt rushed. The last boss fight was anything but “epic”.
What I expected from the ending would’ve been extraordinary, but that is what GoW is most known for: big, crazy set pieces and boss fights.
Just be happy they managed to put a bow on a game with 1000 planets….
Sony should consider acquiring them if they’re mutually interested.
Xbox bought up most other Western rpg studios with Zenimax…. And this outlier studio sounds like they deserve 1st party backing for their next ambitious project.
All studios that push the boundaries for gaming, which gets harder and harder each gen, they deserve to be backed as a 1st party studio, one way or another.
The ps5 SSD loads ~9gbs/second of compressed data… I’d be very surprised to hear that software is able to close that big of a gap with hardware without compromises.
They’re squeezing out a build for sure.
