Would you be sad if Sony buys a major japanese gaming studio?
Vote
Analysts say it is unlikely that a Japanese publisher will ever be bought by a foreign entity as they too proud of their work to be foreign owned and could have major changes to their games that caters to western audiences and now they say Sony is one likely to be bought out by a studio and is in final talks to buy one of the major studios.. Sources say Sony is close to acquiring one major publisher and will face a huge challenge against Microsoft after their acquisition of Activision-Blizzard which is now turning into a studio war on who will get the best games as independence is no longer safe Would you be sad if Sony buys a big Japanese studio? https://i.imgur.com/wc0bmOTl.jpg --- The Users have Spoken.

Either Sony will buy: 1) Capcom for Resident Evil (Sony already puts out the Resident Evil movies, so they would love to completely own the entire franchise, especially for the games), Street Fighter, Monster Hunter (again, Sony put out the Monster Hunter movie, they would love to have 100% ownership and the games), Mega Man, etc, etc. or 2) Sega for Sonic (which is huge in gaming and movies. I'm sure Sony would love to take the next Sonic film away from Paramount and would love for the next Sonic game to be Playstation exclusive), Yakuza, Phantasy Star (Sony would love to take Phantasy Star Online 2 away from Xbox), Streets of Rage, etc, and since Sega owns Atlus they would also get Persona, Shin Megami Tensei, etc. or 3) Konami for the Metal Gear series (the ORIGINAL two 8-bit 2D Metal Gear games are in serious need of modern day 3D remakes), Castlevania, Contra, Silent Hill, etc, and since Konami owns the Turbografx-16 / Hudson franchises, you have Bonk, Bomber-man, Adventure Island, etc. or 4) Square Enix for Final Fantasy (Sony is obsessed with Final Fantasy, especially Final Fantasy 7), Dragon Quest (which is HUGE in Japan), Nier, Tomb Raider and Deus Ex (remember: Square Enix owns Eidos franchises like Tomb Raider, Deus Ex), etc, etc. I'm thinking one of those four: Sega, Capcom,Square Enix or Konami. I think Capcom is the highest possibility. --- I want my Earthbound!!! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Nichtcrawler X posted... I could live with Sony acquiring Capcom and/or Konami and correcting their course. Capcom's generally been pretty good lately. For a while, they were one of the worst offenders for DLC and the like, but they've put out some excellent games in the last few years while avoiding the worst of the corporate greed the industry has been displaying lately. I wouldn't say they need too much course-correcting. Konami, on the other hand, is indeed a steaming pile of garbage. I'd love to see them devoured by somebody that's interested in using their IP's to actually make games. --- This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts. ...

no one is going to buy sega because of their prior bankruptcies. it throws a major wrench in to trying to acquire something konami wouldn't get bought, sony would have a very hard time making that purchase because konami is mostly focused on pachinko and other gambling machines. not only would that make sony look bad by getting into gambling konami also made like seven billion last year compared to sonys 11 billion, so not sure if sony would attempt that --- i wanna go eighty-five, drive off a bridge and die. ...

I hope not! Sony has been on a despotic censorship craze for the past several years and I'd hate to see them sink their tendrils into any series I like. And in general, all of these acquisitions and mergers are bad for consumers. Nichtcrawler X posted... I could live with Sony acquiring Capcom and/or Konami and correcting their course.Capcom is doing JUST FINE, thank you. And while Konami is a train wreck on the video game side, they don't care about that b/c apparently they make a killing on the pachinko machines.

I'd honestly rather have the series stay dead than have Sony potentially release an awful new title under the name or "remaster" the old games and now all of a sudden characters like Jeane or Sheena are "problematic". My hope is Rabbit & Bear knock it out of the park w/ Eiyuden Chronicle and Konami agrees to collect royalties for doing fucking nothing by letting them use the IP to make a Suikoden VI.

Probably Square-Enix. I don't think Capcom or Konami would want to be bought by Sony given their current standings, and if Sega were to be bought, Nintendo makes the most sense given their prior relationship (which is highly unlikely, Nintendo would rather use them as a second party developer or make certain games Nintendo exclusive). Also makes the most sense, since making Square-Enix Sony exclusive is probably the best way for Sony to take away market share from Nintendo in Japan. --- After 16 years, I have decided my signature will NOT be about my job!
